I talked to my God
I told him I wanted to have my vision back
He told me "you can't"
I told him I wanted to find my way
He told me "You can't"
I told him I wanted to have a strong will
He told me "you can't"
I told him I wanted to feel his love
he told me " You can't
I then told him "God, I swear if you give me these things I will promise to try and help all those in the world that cross my path"
He told me "I can't"
I pondered, struggled, and cried
He gently broke through my sobs and told me" My child, I did not say may not, I said can not"
" You can not because you don't believe you can"
"When you believe you can, you'll see that all these things and more already are what you want them to be

Live And Let Nature Sort It Out
I have spent a signifigant amount of time in the company of some rather, let's say, unpleasant people in the world.
This ranges from angry, impatient customers in the retail business, to intolerant people in their own countries who hate Americans , all the way down to some of the cruelest minds roaming the thug/drug world.
These drug dealers would just as soon put a bullet in your head, as they would spit on the sidewalk. They wouldn't even skip a beat in what they were presently occupied doing.
Modern day, yet emotionally identical to, the old movie versions of "the Godfather" .
In a spiritual realm, these brothers of ours are just as understood as we are when we do the things we do wrong.
Hold on there, don't get all excited! I am not suggesting that you are just as "bad" as any of these characters, I'm just stating a fact, that each person has a free will in this world to do whatever the hell he feels like. Each person will then reap the rewards or consequences of what he does.
By us holding to others actions, and desiring revenge or justice, we only raise our own blood pressures. We solve nothing about that person's behavior, or how that person believes.
By letting the water run right off the duck's back, we will not further the negative emotions. We will not eliminate them from the other person, but we won't worsen them.
Now let's go back a little further in time. Maybe back to that person's time in his mother's womb. This woman is being abused by her alcoholic husband, and gets beaten regularly.
It is proven scientifically that a fetus in the womb reacts to a mother's pleasure or pain, respectively. It would make sense that that baby is hurting when this mother gets hurt.
After 8 or 9 months of this, anyone is going to come out just simply pissed off.
If the effects of this past are not reversed by the exclusive presence of love and balance in his life, he will stay pissed off for the rest of his life.
OK, this all may not be completely convincing.
How can I possibly suggest that we just forgive and forget all people and situation that causes us some kind of discomfort or harm? Yeah, I'm nuts.
Nuts, but happy nuts none theless. happy.
I had never before found this in my life when I was just getting pissed, feeling like I wasn't getting my fair due, couldn't get a break, the whole world was wrong, and I wanted justice, damn it!
When we think this way we will reap the appropriate woes that result from our behavior and thoughts.
This will include difficult relationships, meager living, unhappiness, endless negatives, if he is not living up to his full potential.
In my realm, full potential means a few very simple, logical things.
First, always give yourself the credit of having done the b
est that one could do.
Often if in a difficult circumstance in life, we will fall back, and feel depressed or discouraged that we do not have the ability tohandle something.
This prefabricated truth will keep us from even getting up off the couch to try.
What we must understand is that sometimes getting out of bed to get to the couch was the best we could muster that day.
The next day, however, if we do not at least find "one" task to complete, just because we "don't feel like it", well, that just isn't the best" you could do that day.
Therefore, things will not get better.
If we start to look at things from a different perspective, for example, someone else's point of view, we can get less angry or frustrated with "stupid people"
So what I think I'm trying to say here is this:
If we can each just do the best we can do today to not react to the world, and instead respond with our own understanding and kindness we will see the world in a whole other way.
This is true even when we feel the others behavior is unwarrented. When we hear someone ranting and raving, try to let the person know that you understand their frustration, but their frustration and sometimes anger doesn't help any situation. Help them, perhaps, find another solution or advice for their dilemma.
I always love help from my friends who make me realize my foul mood before it worsens. One in particular, friend I know, responds to my sometimes critical nature, with anger. I always must apologize to make him come around. It's just a ritual that was started about 17 years ago, and his ego keeps him at bay. He runs from my world of discovery and inspiration like a moth from a flame. Today, luckily, I am no longer a moth drawn to flame of illusion . For years it burned my wings. Today, my new way of looking at the world, it's inhabitants, events, changes, and love, has given e brand new wings to help me rise above it all.
To rise above and give the best I can give today. Don't hate me if that's not always up to the world's standards. *smile*

Flying In Time
I've said before The words I desire
Come not from The mountain But from Spirits higher
They state at each night's final hour
Just for tonight I'll be Here forever more.
Alas, forever is an impish wonder
demonish intent in its sights;
keeps human souls asunder
Darkness in each night
The spirit asks,
"Be mine forever, just for tonight?"
Knowing that a moment is only now-
devour each with grateful sate
Moments are but pearls strung
one by one along paths of glory
unconditionally given to all spirit,
As it tells a boundless story.
If the string breaks,
Letting fall pearls along the floor of light
Fear not the pearls have not changed.
only has time been set aflight.
Come not from The mountain But from Spirits higher
They state at each night's final hour
Just for tonight I'll be Here forever more.
Alas, forever is an impish wonder
demonish intent in its sights;
keeps human souls asunder
Darkness in each night
The spirit asks,
"Be mine forever, just for tonight?"
Knowing that a moment is only now-
devour each with grateful sate
Moments are but pearls strung
one by one along paths of glory
unconditionally given to all spirit,
As it tells a boundless story.
If the string breaks,
Letting fall pearls along the floor of light
Fear not the pearls have not changed.
only has time been set aflight.
