This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

It seems we have no control what so ever over our own hearts. Condition can change without warning. Romance can make the heart pound just like panic can. And panic can make it stop cold in your chest. It's no wonder doctors spend so much time to keep the heart stable, to keep it slow, steady, regular to stop the heart from pounding out of your chest from the dread of something terrible or the anticipation or something else entirely.

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin
air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green
leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes.
All is a miracle.

At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1

Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is gonna come from, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it. You just might get the thing you're wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart.

"Why did you do all this for me?" he asked. "I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you."
"You have been my friend," replied Charlotte. "That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die... By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heavens knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."

"Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.'"

Somebody walked into my life

"In search of my life and my one true love

I prayed to Almighty God above

And His compassionate voice directed me to

The many things I was destined to do

And in my private reverie

I read of lands across the sea

I imagined enchanting hallowed hill

Grows beyond my window sill"

...He brought me to you...

We're all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you've been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there's no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn't until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems--the ones that make you truly who you are--that we're ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you're looking for. You're looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person--someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, "This is the problem I want to have."

I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.

Let our scars fall in love.

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

balance

2009-08-19T15:05:00.000+08:00

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera.

Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

se calmer

2009-06-22T00:57:00.002+08:00

I walk on space,
On air so thin
I fear to fall.

Dear God forgive me
For my fear to love
For being so small
In a world so big
Forgive me for not wanting pain
For seeing it first before joy

I know I shouldn’t look first,
At how easily I bruise
Or harden my shell to outside touch,
Or hide within my self,
Or stare with dead eyes

Forgive my fear
Of reaching out over empty spaces,
For taking all the love you give
And giving nothing in turn

When next I shy, nudge me to try
When next I sigh, nudge me to smile
When next love needs, steady my feet
That I may be here,
To brave my fear.

sans répit

2009-06-20T00:50:00.002+08:00

You have to be always drunk. That's all there is to it—it's the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.

But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk.

And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking. . .ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: "It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish."

-=Charles Baudelaire=-

imagine that

2009-06-18T19:51:00.001+08:00

We wait all these years to find someone who understands us,
I thought, someone who accepts us as we are,
someone with wizards power to melt stone to sunlight,
who can bring us happiness in spite of trials,
who can face our dragons in the night,
who can transform us into the soul we choose to be.
Just yesterday I found that magical Someone is the face we see in the mirror: It's us and our homemade masks.

All these years and at last we meet.

Imagine that.

if i wrote a note to God

2009-06-16T19:47:00.004+08:00

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I’d ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

If I wrote a note to God
I’d pour my heart out on each page
I’d ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road…… we’re on

2009-06-14T19:42:00.000+08:00

The Point of Porches is two-fold
to hear and to be heard
We sit and talk and rock away
the hours with each word

And in the quiet moments
as dusk slides into dark
the crickets chirp the evening song
we hear a far off lark.

There's nothing more serene
than porches shared with friends
in quiet conversations
no beginnings and no ends

So join us on the porch
kick off your shoes and smile
we're so glad you're here with us
Let's sit and talk awhile.

That life is what we make it to be.
Then we won't care what others have to say
Our love will guide us and show the way...

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done

Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

It has been days since I last used my camera, unusual for me since I have been able to click away even during my toxic days. Yesterday, decided to take a walk and click away. I ended up in this nice "sanctuary" just across my place (I always end up there anyway). It never fails that I meet people who would tell stories of their lives. A few moments of silence and a number of clicks later...

getting there

2009-03-27T21:17:00.000+08:00

no one left to fool every wall you've built is gone
you don't know what to do to get off the path you're on
you are questioning the very truth you've believed in all along
looking back on how it used to be you wonder what went wrong
but deep inside your heart there is a prayer
that love will find you there

living with the pain from the choices you have made
knowing how to change but believing its too late
every path you take convinces you
that you don't know who you are
but the voice inside is telling you, you've never gone to far
whispering the promise of a prayer that love will find you there

there's a broken heart that's healing there's a life that has been changed
there are answers to the prayers that you have prayed
when you're sure your soul can't make it one more day
love will find you there and light your way

One Who knows your heart and sees what you can't see
has been there from the start and believes in what you'll be
He will shine a light through every darkest fear you'll ever know
His arms are reaching out to you through the ones who love you so
He will hear your heart's unspoken prayer
love will find you there

"The breaking of the alabaster box
and the anointing of the Lord filled the house with the odor,
with the sweetest odor. Everyone could smell it.
Whenever you meet someone who has really suffered;
been limited, gone through things for the Lord,
willing to be imprisoned by the Lord,
just being satisfied with Him and nothing else,
immediately you scent the fragrance.
There is a savor of the Lord.
Something has been crushed, something has been broken,
and there is a resulting odor of sweetness."

Quite often, as life goes on, when we feel completely secure as we go on our way,
we suddenly notice that we are trapped in error,
that we have allowed ourselves to be taken in by individuals, by objects,
have dreamt up an affinity with them
which immediately vanishes before our waking eye;
and yet we cannot tear ourselves away,
held fast by some power that seems incomprehensible to us.
Sometimes, however, we become fully aware and realize
that error as well as truth can move and spur us on to action.
Now because action is always a decisive factor,
something really good can result from an active error,
because the effect of all that has been done reaches out into infinity.
So although creative action is certainly always best,
destroying what has been done is also not without happy consequence.

It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.

the clearer view here

through my eyes

"The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth."

life is not merely a series of accidents or coincidences but rather a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite sublime plan

2009-03-20T18:00:00.002+08:00

"Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season."

pass me by

2009-03-20T06:00:00.000+08:00

I am the little child whose existence is ignored

With dirty face and unwiped nose

Tears of hunger, tears of pain, tears of mystery run down my face

Upon a reservation whose name no one knows

Don't pass me by.

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

crossroads

2009-03-19T06:00:00.004+08:00

I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I - I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

fill me

2009-03-18T18:00:00.002+08:00

Father, to Thee I raise my whole being,
a vessel emptied of self. Accept Lord,
this my emptiness, and so fill me with
Thyself - Thy Light, Thy Love, Thy
Life - that these, Thy precious Gifts
may radiate through me and overflow
the chalice of my heart into
the hearts of all with whom I
come in contact this day
revealing unto them
the beauty of
Thy Joy
and
Wholeness
and
the
serenity
of Thy Peace
which nothing can destroy

the gift

2009-03-18T06:00:00.001+08:00

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. "Light! Give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and then light of love shone on me in that very hour.

who could ask for anything more

2009-03-17T18:00:00.000+08:00

the night that falls
holds hard fast in its way
(and dawn a dream of brighter things)
an eyelid slips its anchored folds
and flutters in the morning's gold
a day is born that never was before
and how could i ask for more?

morning walk

2009-03-17T06:00:00.001+08:00

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

"There are no prescriptive solutions, no grand designs for grand problems. Life's solutions lie in the minute particulars involving more and more individual people daring to create their own life and art, daring to listen to the voice within their deepest, original nature, and deeper still, the voice within the earth."

Anything scares me, anything scares anyone but really after all considering how dangerous everything is nothing is really very frightening.

I have trusted to intuition. I did it at the beginning. I do it even now. I have no idea how things might turn out, where in my writing I might go next.

breakfast anyone

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed

bloom

2009-03-12T21:32:00.001+08:00

All these things have you said of beauty.
Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and your are the mirror.

from an empty stage

2009-03-11T09:23:00.001+08:00

At this time, as before
A solitary figure
Says, "Thank you," to the empty stage
And silent furniture.

It's impossible to explain
The pull of this, the theatre
But my soul is part of it's
Never-ending grandeur

It speaks to me, and calls my name
And I will always know
That this is truly home for me
Forever, on with the show!
