How would it be
if just for today
we thought less about contests and rivalries,
profits and politics,
winners and sinners,
and more about
helping and giving,
mending and blending,
reaching out
and pitching in?

STILL SOUL SONG

In the silence of not a single word
Sometimes better quite not heard
I seek JESUS I call out his name
He comes to me In my soul falling like rain
Turmoil in my soul He puts to rest
Saved me from myself and my life he blessed
In the silence of not a single word
Sometimes nothing left to say
I feel him and the world goes away
I seek him and I call his name
He forgives No guilt and blame
All by myself and thats ok
GODS love for me never goes away
Words of GOD speak To my soul like rain
in the silence of not a single word
Sometimes better quite not heard

Soul Radiance

There are stars whose radiance is visible on Earth though they have long been extinct. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world even though they are no longer among the living. These lights are particularly bright when the night is dark. They light the way for humankind.


Hannah Senesh, 1921-1944

Hungarian-born Poet and Soldier

PSALM BY GREAT FREIND LONDON

(A)Preserve me, O God, for (B)I take refuge in You.
2I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
I (C)have no good besides You."
3As for the (D)saints who are in the earth,
They are the majestic ones (E)in whom is all my delight.
4The (F)sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of (G)blood,
Nor will I (H)take their names upon my lips.
5The LORD is the (I)portion of my inheritance and my (J)cup;
You support my (K)lot.
6The (L)lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is (M)beautiful to me.
7I will bless the LORD who has (N)counseled me;
Indeed, my (O)mind instructs me in the night.
8(P)I have (Q)set the LORD continually before me;
Because He is (R)at my right hand, (S)I will not be shaken.
9Therefore (T)my heart is glad and (U)my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will (V)dwell securely.
10For You (W)will not abandon my soul to Sheol;
Nor will You (X)allow Your Holy One to [b]undergo decay.
11You will make known to me (Y)the path of life;
In (Z)Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are (AA)pleasures forever

Inevability of Finality

Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times - and a very small number really. How many times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your life that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise, perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems so limitless..."

Paul Bowles 1910-1999
American Writer and Composer

WORDS OF MASK LEWIS GONE AT 45

Life is full of influences, It's your application that sets you apart.
That's something I wrote to myself and completely believe in. You can't be scared to set out to do something in life because you believe it may be similar to something, or because you don't know the clear cut path on how you're going to accomplish your goal or dream! Just take a step towards your belief daily - fearlessly, wholeheartedly, digging and dreaming within yourself, believing that as you push on through sacrifice, you will one day stand alone on top of a hill that you created that now encourages and inspires others to chase their dream. Knowing that through tenacity and patience anything can be achieved.
If you simply believe

AGELESS WISDOM

He who floats with the current, who does not guide himself according to higher principles, who has no ideal, no convictions – such a man is a mere article of the world's furniture – a thing moved, instead of a living and moving being – an echo, not a voice.


Henri-Frédéric Amiel, 1821-1881
Swiss Poet and Philosopher

AMBITION & DIRECTION

“Wake up each day knowing where you're headed, which direction you're taking and what you are going to accomplish and then stick with it!”

CONSTELLATIONS

At night i gaze upon constellations
Try to find my place in life situations
So hard & easy to choose wrong or right
The more the light pours through me
The more i closed my eyes
Darkness consumes me
Ive pretendted I was burning bright
Not given to superstition
Lifes full of contradictions
I gaze upon constellations
Think about my self manipulations
The more light pours through me
I try to close my eyers
Before darkness consumed me
I pretended I was burning bright
Only you and i have soul conversations
I cant hide my situations
The more the light pours through me
I understand and finally realize
Dont give up without a fight
Free my soul from machinations

JUDGEMENT

To measure you by your smallest deed
is to reckon the ocean by the frailty of its foam.
To judge you by your failures
is to cast blame upon the seasons
for their inconsistencies.


Kahlil Gibran, 1883-1931

FOOTSTEPS

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

MERCY POEM

In this world I long to see
More GOD and mercy
When you pass a soul on the street
Dont meanness add to their defeat
Money and possesions of this world wont last
Jesus says this too shall pass
In this world i long to see
more GOD and mercy
We see poor souls Their light has gone gray
Cover our hearts and look away
When my mortal chains are broken
And my soul is set free
In heaven I long to see GOD
And thank him for his mercy

PLANTING

A demonstration of Faith




Giving tells the Universe that you believe you are provided for. For even as you empty your purse, you fear not. The act alone is a demonstration of faith that you will remain whole, that your coffers will be replenished, and that love is what matters most. And for whomsoever believes these things to be true, it shall become their reality, and abundance shall be showered upon them unceasingly, as if the heavens had opened up.


JESUS said we will be known by our fruits





Remember This One?
"Plant a kernel of wheat and you reap a pint; plant a pint, and you reap a bushel. Always the law works to give you back more than you give." - Anthony Norvell

POIGNANCY

For So long I couldnt see
I had the gift inside of me
I have what others could not find
An open heart and a free mind
Some play hit and miss
I wouldnt change any of this
Tears to my eyes when i realize
That for some they run out of time
For so long i couldnt see
But now my words carry beauty and poignancy
And now i run towards the light
I realize that ill be just fine
Now i finally see wjhat i could be
I dont back down but i go to my knees
And thank the one who made me
And when my race is done
Ill go to the one who loves me
And made me finally see the gift in me
