give yourself a voice

When we stop believing in everything that others tell us to believe in and start believing in something constructed by our own reality through the principles and morals we hold within our core being. It is there that we construct new ideas about the world around us. Negativity is contagious and we must combat it with positivity. We must look for and expect the good in people to shine through. It is there that we teach one another how to love, feel, and simply just be. In doing so we set ourselves free.

"Whoever you are: step out of doors tonight, Out of the room that lets you feel secure. Infinity is open to your sight. Whoever you are. With eyes that have forgotten how to see From viewing things already too well-known, Lift up into the dark a huge, black tree And put it in the heavens: tall, alone. And you have made the world and all you see. It ripens like the words still in your mouth. And when at last you comprehend its truth, Then close your eyes and gently set it free." Entrance Dana Gioia

James Vincent McMorrow - We Don't Eat

so beautiful... I hope you all are having a wonderful day.

Live the life you want to live. Work hard and surround yourself with people that are good for you. Never be afraid to walk away. Always do the right thing no matter how hard. It comes back around... pay it forward.

Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability

THE WHOLE HEARTED


This video is great... if you are in the mood to think... then watch and get lost in thought.

Notes on Brown's Points:

in common- courage- latin word "cor" meaning heart- original definition tell who you are with all your heart.

compassion to be kind to themselves first then compassion for others

"willing to let go of who they thought they should be in order to be who the are" leading to connection

fully embrace vulnerability- talked about how it is necessary

Ex: say I love you first, no guarantees, invest in a relationship that may or may not work out

Vulnerability the birth place of :

joy. creativity. belonging. love.


When we numb the negative feelings we then numb the good ones. A dangerous cycle where we can't accept our vulnerability.

Love Line(s)

Thoughts/ understanding

We often get trapped by the way we learn about other people. I feel like subconsciously 
it turns into a competition
, we compare and contrast the differences and search for the parallels that fit into our social norms. The act of feeling good enough for someone starts by looking at their situation and then comparing it to your own. Then we use these comparisons to rationalize why things aren’t working out or how they might work out. 
When in reality, in a ideal world we would just look at the person. They are either good or bad, work well or don’t. Instead we allow this clutter of information that ends up making the decision for us about the value of other people. Stop. Think. Be Open. You will meet a whirl wind of people. Colorful people that will bring something different to your life. They will leave a different kind of foot print a different kind of hand print and their music will play in your memory a little differently each time.

Well timed moments

I'de Rather Go Blind ~ Etta James

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My shoes have fallen from my feet
A heavy head laid done to weep
I am not me, I will not sleep.

For there is a time to chase,
To think, to love, to erase.
There are hardships I cannot face.

A need, a soulful longing for your love
The petals have fallen
The leaves are changing in the night

I want the beauty to shine through
A dancing duo
One and two

Left with the words you have said
The records broken
A continuum of soft loud
no, no, no, playing in my head.

Drunken hearts
Soon depart
A inevitable betrayal of innocence now lost
You are all I ever wanted
But it came as such a cost.

If I am whole, I feel broken
If I am strong, there is a crack in my foundation
My head wrapped up within itself
A smile, a wink, a life out of sync.

My shoes have fallen from my feet
A heavy head laid done to weep
I am not me, I will not sleep.

Journal Found

A friend of a friend lost her journal in Panama three years ago in a library she was doing work in. Three years later her journal was mailed back to her from a man who lived in boston, saying sorry it had taken him so long to return her journal. He found it in the library under a chair but had lost the return mailing address. Have faith in human character.

Afghanistan Massacre

Taken from CNN:

To the Editor:

As a journalist, I spent time with the mujahedeen in the mountains of Afghanistan during their war against the Soviet Union. These are an ancient people filled with a wisdom that most Westerners will never understand.

We have no right to be in their country. It is naïve to believe they will ever welcome or appreciate our presence. And now the burning of the Koran and a massacre.

It’s time to leave. Let us bring our soldiers home and help them heal. Let us learn a lesson as a nation, lessen our hubris, expand our global awareness, get over our self-centeredness and cease our aggressions.

BRAD WILLIS

To the Editor:

It has been said that “the first casualty of war is truth.” In fact, as demonstrated by our soldiers burning the Koran, urinating on the dead and massacring innocent civilians, another casualty of war is the humanity of “the enemy.”

Most humans can kill another person only when we have turned him into “the other” — an animal, a monster, a nonperson. These events are the awful but predictable consequences of war.

We need to help our returning veterans heal from this horrific experience. As a person opposed to war but an American citizen, I feel a moral duty to support full funding for veterans’ programs.

Def Poetry - Dawn Saylor - When I Was 14

Listen.

I believe ones identity is encompassed by ones own pursuit for compassion for others and respect for oneself.

"People Change. Memories Don't."

"People Change. Memories Don't."


Identity is often thought of as ones surroundings, economic standing, race, gender, and status on the social hierarchy. Politically correct standards are put in place to which ones identity is thus measured. But, in the end we ultimately choose to harbor our identity in the friends we associate ourselves with. There goes the saying “you are only as strong as the company you keep.”Unfortunately, we tend to only see a select few qualities in each person that we want to be. It is there that we fail to identify the person they are as one entity. We set out in search of the perfect person to be, containing all the ideal qualities; honest, good, fun, loving, modest…etc. If we find people that represent such qualities, then we are more times then not going to befriend them. We cannot just search for each ideal quality and assign one to every person we meet. Instead we have to hold each person accountable for containing all the qualities we want. But, before that we must hold ourselves accountable. However humans tend not to think that way. If our friends become the puzzles pieces in our lives, each representing a different quality that we want to encompass, we then feel that if we can put them together in our brains as a whole, expecting their pieces to create a picture of ourselves. People tend to believe this is a valid and logical representation of their identity. However this is not the case. You cannot over simplify your identity. If it is over simplified then it is also incomplete.
