how does one define them
those healthy boundaries
those necessary limitations
one overstep
fucks us up
but is required
for health and sanity
we need limits
that keep us sane
but is that what we are reaching for?

Reblog – Fixture by Logan Gorg
Oh, this piece is filled with so much commitment, love, joy, and empowerment. I felt it all with every line. Enjoy!
You’ve taken up residence
in my heart
and grow
every day more immovable;
when I peer into the cabinets
and corners
I can’t help but to think
I love what you’ve done with it.

life is a dance
of up and down
and side to side
with the flow or against
we move in varying degrees
executing a series of gradations
achieving defeats and successes
we become in the motion
it certainly isn’t boring
Drive
treks of this distance
take a lifetime
not always a straight line
or one foot in front of the other
sometimes hopping on a broken leg
many times crawling
perhaps at times robust enough to run
living doesn’t carry with it
a formula for success
determination, a will to thrive and action
all prerequisites
a dash of luck thrown in
still
success not always achieved
i will not give up
i love myself too much

I’m The Key
Redux
Darkness, frustration, anger, sadness.
Feeling sorry for myself.
Wallowing going nowhere.
Chance, opportunity, action, other’s opening that door. It’s all relative.
But it can’t happen without me.
I need to be in it. I need to want to go towards awareness, progress, and enlightenment.
Today. Let me be the tumbler moving in the right direction.
Unlocking myself now…
Finding A Way Home
i cling to this life with determination
boldly seeking the right directions to take
while some moments require reflection
other times swift and decisive actions
i trust in the wisdom graciously shared
and my savvy rightfully gained
it leads me to side-step making poor decisions
those which would leave me flailing and without support
i am confident and fortunate
moving forward with staunch efforts
to achieve progress and healing
so that only love resides within me
Seeing Clearly
the reality of who we are
wrapped in layers of facades
nurtured by culture and family
binds us stoically in place
the lens to our essence
is worn only by the carefully in tune
and compassionate observers
they see us prominently in the opaque
yet fear continues to holds us in check
until the threshold of mediocrity is breached
as exasperation begins to break the hold
of the form of tortuous conformity our bodies inhabit
we set ourselves free, finally…

A profound piece of liberation and empowerment. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Because It’s Time
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #170
your hesitation asks questions
giving rise to unending doubt
shutting hope down
success in the making asks other questions
your future being challenges your past
it’s waiting to be discovered
force recognition of your strengths
face the obvious which holds you back
achieve all you are capable of
yes, NOW
change your trajectory
live your dreams
demand that of yourself
Embodiment Of Self
Inspired by Suzette B’s Blog – A Supreme Self
Suzette gave me one of those opportunities that I thoroughly relish: examining someone else’s thoughts and re-examine my own previously held views. Thank you, Suzette.
And this is why I thoroughly LOVE the WP Community! Isn’t this what life is about?
While I agree with the quote she posted, a question arose for me. How do we get there? From what I see around our world, people are either worshipping something outside of themselves or do not even have the slightest idea that they have it within them. And in between, others are working towards more understanding.
For me, this is indeed the happy place we are trying to reach. It feels like it would be a place of peace and calm. Where our supreme self exists and allows itself to express to everyone, the people that I’ve encountered in my life who seem in agreement, this is where I have felt the most ease. But maybe it’s more of the idea that they have accepted me? Because I know that many of those I am close to still struggle with issues themselves. My comment on her piece was merely to explain what I felt would be what that would actually look and possibly feel like…
The place within us that has forgiven all the hurts, remembers all the joy,
and knows itself honestly and completely.
Do I, myself, or others achieve it 100% of the time? Hell no! But I would think it should be the end goal. Your thoughts?
