Hah!
The Office occupies a good part of my brain lately;

"Have you seen that episode where Dwight . . ."

Strength

She turned to him and said, "I don't feel strong enough"
The reply was always, "You are stronger than you know...to even entertain such a thought means you know what it means to be strong enough. The strength is running through your veins, my darling."

Standing tall

she's breaking
as she shuffles through the spaces
negotiating, compromising
searching for accepting places

not those that constrain
or promote disdain

or those that judge and label
shouting, "dear, you are just not able"

ideals may not be fulfilled
but it's better to strive, strong-willed

why is she breaking
they yell to her,
"darling, my darling, please stop shaking

"can you not sing your song?
what ails you now?
is it because you fail to float along?"

she continues breaking amidst it all
because she knows she needs to stand tall

and she doesn't see it yet, no, she hasn't a clue
but soon she'll respond and shout back,
"I am worthy and good...even for you"

Soul, believe.

I'm afraid.
I'm afraid because i don't know if you feel it, soul.

Do you not see that the love in this world exceeds the capacity of the cup i hold to contain it?
His love is everywhere; it envelopes my existence.

Soul, why do you worry? You are surrounded by truth.
Have i seen my own strength? You have.
Have i seen my own beauty? You have.
Oh, you worry too much.

I persist in my fear.
Have i a different choice, if i accept the premises to be truth?

Don't go back to sleep...

The inspiration for this website is from Rumi's expression:

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep

Rumi

The peace does seem to radiate during those early hours of morning...

Looking forward to sharing moments with you on this site, friends.
