"She was done comparing and looking at other people’s lives as a mirror for her own. She realised holding her own mirror cast her in the best, most beautiful light."~ Adrienne Pieroth

I don't want to swap my love for your body. Have my love anyway.
Don’t offer me the skin without the soul. For I am just as weak as the others and will take it even against my moral nudgings. Tempt me with your spirit, seduce me and reveal often hidden patches of your heart. Dance on my mind and let your insecurity’s clothing fall slowly to the ground. Give me that first, and my body will follow.
~ Andy Charrington {Elephant Journal}

"The heart is a very intelligent organ. It doesn’t just pump blood around our body. It also emits a powerful vibration that can radiate for quite some distance away from the physical body. The heart is magnetic therefore, whatever it feels and sends out, it will also attract and draw in the same. If it is sending out powerful loving waves, powerful loving waves will be returned." ~ Alex Myles

Learning
“That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, don't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Zahir {and someone who cares}

Pathways

There are infinite paths to choose,
And I have chosen many.
I have slammed into dead ends,
Twisted through turning trails that ended at lost,
Followed other’s routes to eventually realize they weren’t mine,
Even dared to venture into the great unknown,
Where writing a new way,
Was the only way.
But of all the countless roads I wandered,
Endless directions I explored,
And limitless possibilities I could have taken,
There is one thing I have come to know:
No matter what surrounds me,
Lies ahead or behind me,
Or who is beside me,
It’s what is happening in me,
That will shine a guiding light,
Conquer the journey,
And land me victorious after any travel.
Because perfection comes,
not when you’re watching golden sun sets over paradise,
But when you have grown,
Unbreakable,
At peace,
Within.
