Make it a good day.
Today, oh today, oh everyday. I love you so. Stress, you don’t exist. Heartache, you will pass. Tiredness, I will dream you away tonight.
You can live your life unhappy, unfufilled, and unsatisfied, or you could not. Its as simple as that. It takes a fool to make something more complex, it takes a genius to make what appears complex simple. Be the genius, let your life today be the...

Time
I miss you dearly
even though I feel you near me.
Your silence draws me closer and further
I wonder when we will collapse the present again
Where neither past nor future exist beyond
And we become renewed, again and again, in only
this.

The Nature of our Perfection
In our pure nature, we are perfect, whole, and complete. We are able to evolve, grow, and self-correct; thus, we are always moved by the river of progress. And isn’t that progress perfected in its nature? And what comes from our greatest sins is transformed into the greatest love and value for what is ultimately the greatest good.
If you unconvinced, look at how armed conflict led the...

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Martin Luther King Jr. (Letter from a Birmingham Jail)
Today I watched a documentary on MLK and when they got to that day in Memphis, TN, (which I told myself was coming), I just had to sit and cry in class because this man was so great for our world and we killed him… what kind of response is that? What kind of society...

I carry my home inside my heart
I carry my home inside my heart,
But maybe thats no longer a safe place for a home, you know?
It’s where the pings of pain strike and my little home is fragile
Where can I keep this home safe? Where can I put it?
Somewhere calm and quiet
Tucked deep away from disturbance
Because my heart beats, like the click of a clock
And my heart pounds, like hands on drums
And my heart burns,...

My endless tour
We found each other there.
We missed each other here.
We ate near the church
We sang in the park
We ran through traffic
We danced on the sidewalks around the corner
We took tea at this table and a glass of water at that one
We kissed in the terrace above the city
We played in the gardens of tranquility
We held each other on the bus and the subway
We walked without destination or rhythm

Gira sin Fin
Nos encontramos allí.
Nos perdimos aquí.
Comimos cerca de la iglesia
Miramos hacia el cielo
Cantamos en el parque
Corrimos por el tráfico
Bailamos en las aceras vuelta de la esquina
Tomamos el té a esta mesa y un vaso de agua a esa
Nos besamos en las terrazas sobre la ciudad
Jugamos en los jardines de tranquilidad
Nos abrazamos en el bondi y el subte
Caminamos sin rumbo o ritmo
Nos...

Unfinished Love Story
Their’s is simple, sweet
Like their tangerine exchange
Their’s is deeply subtle
Drifting in the indigo sky
Their’s is unspoken, unframed
Yet sung unrefrained
Choice words sewn deep in old tunes
…… (to be continued)

distantly close

“There’s a marvelous peace in not publishing … Publishing is a terrible invasion of my privacy. I like to write. I live to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.” J.D. Salinger
As do I. Someone once put it to me this way. When I write, I write to the my second self.

Open Hearts
There is no place in my heart for arguing, only listening. To listen, to be silent as a still river, no? Open to what ever it is you feel you need to pour out and into something or someone else.

Siddhartha
Finished it a week ago and I liked it a lot. I did little on my part to do an overly critical analysis on it. I wanted to let it to continue to unfold when I think upon it from time to time. I recommend the book if you haven’t read it. The very ending makes a nice illustration of eastern thought that I tend to find true in many many regards. Anywho, check it out. Its really short and free...

occupyallstreets:
Despite making more than a billion dollars, some of the nation’s super rich manage to pay an extremely low tax rate.
The top 400 earners in the U.S. paid an average tax rate of 18 percent, according to a Bloomberg TV report noticed by Think Progress. And though that’s a far lower rate than the…

Anonymous asked: When i was younger, i used to hear "I hate you" over and over in my head. It took me a long time to realize that it was me i was talking to. It doesn't happen anymore but what you wrote reminded me of that. So... maybe you're saying "I love you" to yourself! That would be amazing and so right! =)

Sweet Surrender
Its strange. I have been hearing the words “I love you” ringing in my head all through out the day. I don’t know why. I love you, I love you, I love you. I feel like I need to get it out so whomever this is meant to be for… I love you.
