Epiphany #10

Negative feelings about yesterday stain our memories. If our yesterday's were miserable does that mean we've wasted our today's? If each day is a gift then life lived good or bad is never wasted. Living for today says " I can do better then my yesterday's". There would be no real joy without the sweet sting of pain. We only mourn our yesterday's when we did not fully embrace and LOVE our today's....

Epiphany #9

Life never happens the same way twice...
There are similarities and feelings that make you remember the pain of the past.
If your blessed, streams of joy flash by too. So why live in fear of the unknown? 
God never promised us tomorrow's, just that he would help us live through the today's.
Funny how we beg God to forgive us yet we turn our backs on forgiving ourselves. 
So perhaps my prayer should be "Lord help me to forgive myself so today won't feel like
yesterday". Lost floods of love wash me today. 

The Silence

You put up walls all around you...no buildings
Silence so still it makes my ear drums swell as if I were swimming in the depths of the sea.
If I sleep will I wake up? Or will the silence smother me, will I drown in the waves of your anguish?
Why do you punish me so?
You have rejected me and in my defense I have rejected you... the cycle is never ending.
The silence is always there pushing the sounds of conversation out
pushing the sounds of love away
pushing the beats of life to the edge of oblivion
pushing the very air that we breathe
The silence is like a noxious gas that fills every crevice...
It says to me "Keep Out!"
I am speaking to you but you can not hear me...The silence is there
I am listening to you but I can not hear you... The silence is there
We are YELLING but there is no understanding...The silence is there
I would sleep but I am sleepless worried about The silence that is silently choking the life from my flesh
seeping into my soul. What a painful slow torture chamber this has become for us.
Take down the walls of the buildings that you built.
Let the silence move with the winds blowing to another place and time.
Free us from the death of silence and the tombstone that will read
"Here lies them that loved loudly but could not hear each other because of ...The Silence."

Epiphany #8

Hmmmm are you really listening?? Sometimes.., no most of the time we need to "listen" to the whole conversation. Listening to why a person says what they are saying is as important as what they are saying. The people whom we love are usually not out to hurt us. Lay aside your emotions just for a moment and really "listen" to why & what they are truly trying to get you to hear. How on earth did they even come to this place? That's the why. The truth is usually pretty uncomfortable...that's the what (that needs to be said). Take a few moments and just listen... It's okay you'll be pleased and closer to the one's you love.

Epiphany #7

Time stands still for no one. Therefore life is not to be wasted on anyone who does not have good intentions. Why spread the evils of the world to those who mean to be happy? Spread your misery amongst yourselves and live as you will. The rest of us will happily live outside of your dark circle gliding on the sands of time.... 

Epiphany #6

Crying can cleanse your soul...Boohooing is like a tsunami it can wipe you out! Water symbolizes cleansing and new life to come. So go ahead and cry wash away the bad energy. Dry your eyes and breathe a sigh of relief. Wait for the seedlings to bud with fresh opportunities. It won't be long before your on a better path. Crying is GOOD!!! Boohooing may be a little over the top. Have a great day!!

Epiphany #5

Well It's a new year people. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Let's try to take this go get 'em attitude with us throughout the "entire" 365 days...shall we???
Past hurts that you pretend to forget never heal. They get infected ans spread from the past to the present into your future. Chase after your healing "free your mind and the rest will follow" (En Vouge). Do yourself a favor and forgive the offense. Chances are the person you're upset with is clueless & sleeping through the night. It's the perfect time to release yourself from the prison of longtime despair. Be HAPPY!!!
