Maybe you should have loved me more.
Maybe our hearts were just next in line.
Maybe everything breaks sometime.

Just to disprove all the things you say...
please be careful with me, I'm sensitive,

in case you failed to see,

bleeding before you,
this is me down on my knees.

Reality is what you believe it to be.
It's what you put your thought and energy into,

I'm having a bad day. I am not size six.
My legs are not skinny as sticks,

and when you touch a crowd
and move yourself at the same

Gather yourself by the sea shore and I will love you there.
Assemble yourself with wild things,

A man who will Kiss the Flame.

and I'm willing.

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,

I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.
- Jewel

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

What will your legacy be?
What will your great-grandchildren be told about you?

What can you do today to help create that world?

The Moon Cannot Be Stolen:
A thief entered the little hut of a Zen Master,
but discovered there was nothing to steal.
The Zen Master discovered the thief.
"You have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler,
"and you should not return empty-handed.
Please take my clothes as a gift."
The thief was bewildered,
but he took the clothes and slunk away.
The Zen Master sat naked, watching the moon.
"Poor fellow," he mused,
"I wish I could have given him this beautiful moon."

Most of us believe that we have
been betrayed by someone outside of us -
in other words someone has done something to hurt us,
been dishonest or broken a promise made:
some trust in some concept was broken.
Indeed someone may have taken an action
that took only their needs into consideration,
they may have not followed through on a promise made,
and they may have not told you the truth.
But their actions have nothing to do with you
and have everything to do with them.
That's why no one can do anything TO you.
They can take actions that involve you that you may not like -
according to your point of view.
But you are not a victim, no way, no how.
- Sheri Rosenthal
