Something I wish more people would pay attention to.  When they don't all the do is cause pain.

Every day is a gift, that's why it's called the present. You can't change the past, and no one knows what the future holds, treasure every moment you have in the now.

It does not matter what you have achieved for yourself in life.
What matters is how many people you made smile and say "Thank you!"
A word of advice: Don't take me serious - unless I am. And you will know when I am!

They say it's always darkest before dawn. But it is at night that you can see the stars.


The Oath of the Drake

She's real, she's deep, she's logical and mystical. She believes in kindness and oneness and romance. She's sensitive and distant, a warrior, a lover. She believes in road trips to the stars and dancing with the universe. She's fearless and gentle, wondrous and brave. She lives in waterfalls and forests and sunsets and galaxies. She's the artist, the thinker, the poem and the dream. - Creig Crippen

QuoteElder Paisios of Mount Athos likened people into two categories: flies and honey bees. He said that if you ask a fly, "Are there any flowers in the area?" it will say, "I don't know about flowers, but over there is a heap of rubbish and you can find all the filth you want;" and it will go on to list and describe every unclean thing. However, if you ask a honeybee, "Have you seen any garbage in this area?" it will reply, "Garbage? No, I have not seen any. This meadow is filled only with the most beautiful and fragrant flowers," and it will go on to name them all.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

I saw this and thought even though it is a bit long it really is wise to understand whether male or female. I hope you enjoy it too.



"She’s coming into her power…
The more she treated him like a king the more he treated her as his slave,
She couldn’t understand this because she thought that if she gave him everything... putting him before her, he would crown her as his queen, but what she didn’t realize was that he wanted someone full of her “self" not emptied of her “self", someone that would bring forth the hunter, the warrior and the hero in him,
someone who’s respect needed to be earned.
Instead she brought forth the exploiter, the betrayer and the abuser in him.
She felt justified in feeling victimized and she wallowed in this mirky swamp with her finger pointing in the wrong direction feeling falsely vilified in her suffering,
feeling falsely supported by the sympathy of her friends…
It took her several rounds with different partners and a great deal of pain before she finally got it,
“ her external relationships were always mirroring back to her, her internal relationship with herself".
This was the relationship that she was being called to feed and nurture...
Her “Aha" moment came when she realized that it wasn’t the external king that she needed to bow down to but the royal queen within herself.
She’s sitting on her throne now, it’s new and alien to her so she hasn’t quite relaxed completely into the sumptuous velvet cushion, but she’s aware of who she is and she’s determined to rule her own kingdom.
she now knows what she wants and she’s not willing to compromise..
She’s not willing to sell herself in order to be verified,
She’s verifying herself...
She’s filling her own cup with self loving so she’s not ravenous for his...
She’s creating boundaries where they are needed and opening what was closed from fear…
She’s holding back some,
she’s no longer so blindly eager to please...
She’s giving but keeping enough of herself to serve the queen that she is…
The suitors are lining up, they are respectful because her presence commands that respect…
She’s a woman who is discovering her royal, "Divine feminine" blood line and she’s stepping up to who she truly is." ॐ heart emoticon

All too often those in charge, those who have the power, forget this.  They, in their arrogance, think they can correct things and fail.  They become deliberately hurtful continuing the abuse with the words they choose and the attitude they display.
