Authenticity

Faces In A Digital Maze

The truth simply exists. There’s no need for it to
Be deciphered and analyzed. It’s true that there
Are millions upon millions of absolute lies
About everything. Difficult to realize
Is this truth because lies can be found everywhere
Human speech occurs. What in the world can one do?

Innocently or by intent people will lie
Out of habit. It’s often done unconsciously.
Always there’s a war going on inside the mind
Between truth and the fantasy. It’s hard to find
Inner peace when the two versions do not agree.
The reality of life is hard to deny.

As close as possible to the truth words can get
But there are no words to explain truth because we
Are the truth. As we come into full awareness
Of the deep truth within us, we have more access
To the ultimate truth of this reality.
Human fear is a drama we’ve not conquered yet.

Don’t let the expectations and opinions of
Other people affect your decisions. It’s your
Life not theirs. You must live your own reality.
You must be the person you know yourself to be.
Do believe that your own truth is worth searching for.
You may find that the truth has much to do with love.

Selflessness

Apr25

Comforting Touch

Every emotion you feel in life is a choice,
Which means that you control everything that you feel.
You were meant to enjoy life. If you can learn how,
You’ll never be a burden on others. Allow
That to be your gift to others and the ordeal
Of your own neediness you will not want to voice.

The least selfish thing you can do and the most kind
Is to be in alignment with the best of you.
It’s also the most loving and graceful of things
You can do. Clarity and wellbeing it brings.
So, can it be called selfless? What you choose to do
To help others can in itself be self-inclined.

Everyone has the right to live their life as they
Choose to live it, as long as they don’t interfere
With the same right of others. “We love the things we
Love for what they are.” When you love genuinely,
Empathy becomes natural. Then you can hear
What the other is saying. Fear washes away.

What you think of yourself must be more important
Than what others think of you. You give up control
In the moment you let others know you’re willing
To do anything for them. You can by filling
Your heart with love reach into someone else’s soul.
It’s okay to be selfless. There’s no one who can’t.

Your Own Candle Flame

Mar10

Singular Flame

Whatever you’ve got going on in your life in
The way of animosity, pain, bitterness,
Or anguish toward anyone, it will never
Let you go. It will cling on to you forever.
It will interfere greatly with your life unless
You do something about it. Where should you begin?

Let it go. You don’t have to make any phone calls
Or let anyone else know. You can purify
Your heart by simply saying, “Love is forgiving.
It is also for giving.” The life you’re living
Can be free of toxicity if you will try
To eliminate all of your negative walls.

Only orange juice can come from an orange when it’s squeezed.
When you are under pressure, what tends to come out?
If it’s anger, hatred, tension and depression,
Then that must have been in you. Its full expression
Is triggered by the squeezing. Is there any doubt
That you can get quite nasty when you are displeased?

There is a candle that burns inside you always.
It cannot be extinguished completely, although
Wind and moisture will cause it to dance and flicker.
You can make the wick of your own candle thicker
By remembering all that you are meant to know.
As your flame remains steady, it brightens your days.
