So I realize I've been traveling a lot lately and I also realize doing so is part process of me finding myself. I am so humbled and grateful that God allows me to enjoy the luxuries of doing so however; I know there is a greater purpose than that of my own. I walk new streets of ancient struggle and capture beautiful flowers watered by sorrow. He stands there with his empty, white bucket that has been engraved with the dirt from his hands which massage Mother Earth daily. I wanted to simply walk into the ice cream parlor so that the rain wouldn't wet my hair... All he hoped was that the rain would fill his bucket. #another world! #so many of us are walking zombies :.( #humbled!

I  use to believe happiness was someone I had to search for

Then I believed happiness was someone who had to find me

but now...

now, I believe happiness is something I can only find within myself 

After all; how can we share what we don't have???

Bare and exposed
This tree stands alone
Alone...
But it still stands
Tall & strong
Only temporarily robbed of its beauty by winter's unforgiving cold
In the dark
But still...
It reaches forward; toward the light
Despite its crooked appearance and deformation it continues to reach and extend itself
For it knows the sun is soon to shine.
I am that tree!
Tai Truth

Stoplight

When the sun sets and the dark sky hovers
When everyone is gone and I drive away
It's always at the first stoplight...
It hits me and it hurts.

Water like me

 

 

I am like water: fluid, soft and yielding. I am strong!

 

"Water is fluid, soft and yielding.

But, water will wear away rock that is rigid and cannot yield.

As a rule,

whatever is fluid, soft and yielding

will overcome whatever is

rigid and hard.

This is another paradox:

what is soft is strong."

-Lao-Tzu

He chuckled sarcastically as he asked me if I was falling in love...

he'll never know I almost slipped.
