Reality can be a blur at times

I should be writing that great story that sparked my imagination some weeks ago, but I sat on it for some time and it just seemed to slip my mind.

Naw, it is still here, but I’ve got better things to do like take self portraits of me on Instagram and figure out which setting suits me best. Look at the same time line over and over on facebook to see whats going on in the lives of my friends and family.

Its cold outside so I’m sitting in a starbucks that looks a little shady, but its warm inside. Which reminds me, last night on my break I decided to take a strole in DC (it was COLD AS A MONKEY’S ASS SITTING ON CONCRETE). As I walked by the public library, I noticed two long lines all homeless men, standing waiting in the cold dark night to see if they can get on this small van which I assumed would take them to shelter that night. I wanted to take a picture to have proof of this, but I felt like I would be invading their privacy in some sort of way. So here is a blury image.

A couple days ago I had drinks with one of my class mates, and she mentioned to me in conversation how she was homeless for about three or four months here in DC. She is the same age as I am an aspiring writer, which really hit me. She lived in her car in the midst of the winter time here in the Capital last year. Damn I’ve been really living a sheltered life. I do realize how difficult things can be, but there has got to be a solultion!

I wish there was something I could do to help change the situation for better.

Thoughts this Sunday Morning

Inspired by skies

Avoiding lies

Being true to thyself

Focussing on deep breaths

Avoiding judgement

Embracing love

Taking each step with blind faith

Knowing that tomorrow is never promised

Being thankful in the waking morning

Letting tears flow without knowing the reason why they formed

Meditating at the end the day to just to let go

Praying throughout the day because I’m holing on

Weak but strong

Contradictions no longer an alarm

Uncontrollable emotions that are controlled, but allowed to be felt

Being responsible but never losing the child inside

Life is simple live it

Life is complicated bring meaning to it

Remembering to laugh when life  feels too serious

Union

ritualistic forms

Needed

Be it in a mosque in union with salah

At a dinner table with family or friends breaking bread

At church performing transubstantiation

Chanting Om with a group of yogis sitting in lotus style

Feeling that energy that brings us all together as One

And knowing thyself all at once.

These are just some thoughts that are in my mind and heart.

Life is an Olympic Game

She runs and runs not really paying attention to the other runners who are her competitors. She says in her head I can do this, I can do this with each inhale and exhale!

She knows that her only true competitor is herself and she must over come all those mental obstacles that try to hinder her from being who she is, those mental obstacles that try to hold her back from achieving her dreams.

She runs and runs and pushes herself through each wind. She gains momentum and when she feels that her momentum is sliding away she digs deep inside so deep it becomes high and she gains second, third, fourth, and fifth wind pushing herself through each lap. She can hear her fans out in the stands cheering her on. Go, Go, Go, screaming her name out loud.

She keeps on running and pushing herself determined to win the gold medal which is her dream, so she pushes herself until she reaches the end.

WHen the day comes when her Olympic games comes to an end she would smile and know she played the game of her life to the fullest!

The Passionate Artist

He was a magnificent photographer his work was considered masterpieces in the art world.

He captured all of his subjects from the eyes of his soul, so much depth in his work that ran deeper than the crust of the earth.

Many women wanted to discover and feel his passion they wanted to be his muse be admired feel admired

each woman who looked at the photos he captured of them felt like he capture her soul. He made her feel more beautiful than she ever did before.

How was it possible for him to see her without ever touching her many women would ask him this question

He would reply that it was all about Love

He worked from Love and with Love this is how he always work it was his everyday orgasm, not the women but capturing his subject and keeping it alive.

His energy was on a high frequency and many women wanted to receive it.

But there was only two women he swore to give his all to, one was Jamilia who was his soul mate and partner in life and the other was New York City

who had inspired him since he was a child, she had been his home, his first muse, and first Love.

Had to share

I received a beautiful card last night from a dear friend and I absolutely loved the words.

Life’s Pathway
AN INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE BY EMILY MATTHEWS

At times, life’s path
Seems filled with things
That make the going rough,
And we wish there were a smoother road,
For we feel we’ve had enough…
But if we pause a moment and remember Who’s in charge,
The hills that loom ahead of us
No longer seem so large,
And every rock before us,
When we know we’re not alone,
Becomes, not just a stumbling block,
But ne more stepping stone.

Love teach me

I asked Love to be my teacher

I had no idea that I would be thrown down a rabbit hole and completely transformed.

I’ve learned
    
      to have without ownship,

      to let go when hanging off the edge of the cliff and having faith that i will survive the drop and enjoy the swim
    
      to be selfish  and to give

       to accept the pain just as I would accept the pleasure

     as much as things may seem complex we’re all connected and come from that same Divine Seed.

   to let go of what i think i know and go with the flow

     be thankful at the end of each day     

     to cry and let it out

     to breathe deep with awarness and follow my dreams

… Most importantly to laugh and not take life so serious!

We all have the right to be who we are! We all have that light that is Divine inside so let it shine.
