POETRY: A Noble Life, Shirlee Hall
September 8, 2012 by
A NOBLE LIFE I know from my own journey that anything is possible and that the sublime is waiting to bless us in ways far beyond our imagination. I believe in our inherent goodness. It is up to us to accept the goodness and be free of restrictions. Many of the events in the visible world are outrageous, yet there is also beauty and hope. To understand that the old must be removed before the new can be fully experienced is wisdom. It is being … [Read more...]
POETRY – Life is a Mystery @ Manon Fortier
August 6, 2012 by
Life is a Mystery So tired of the constant strive to achieve your very best. The thought of perfection, complete happiness. Emotionally exhausted to think of tomorrow, about what will happen next. Why not live for the moment. Live for today. For it may be your last. Looking around at all others in this diverse society. Different personalities, attitudes, beliefs. Wanting to fit in, yet be your own person. Wanting to be open yet so secrete. Less drama, arguments, judgmental … [Read more...]

The Four Agreements ~ Miguel Ruiz
July 16, 2012 by
THE FOUR AGREEMENTS 1. Be Impeccable With Your Word Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless … [Read more...]
“My Female Parts have Calcified” ~ Colin Winchester
July 15, 2012 by
"My Female Parts have Calcified" Appendix testes they’re called, the remnants of fetal Müllerian ducts, which in a female would develop into fallopian tubes and uterus. One is now a hard little ball bearing sitting near the top of my left testicle. It must be the way I have been living. Why else would it calcify? I’m sure it’s from lack of use, from frustration at being ignored, from my female parts feeling useless or just plain rejected. I force my masculine … [Read more...]
