  • If I had but an hour of love,

    If that be all it’s given me.

    An hour of love; upon this earth,

    I would give my love to thee.

  • Sometimes, all you can do is brace yourself for the incoming storm.

    And sometimes, despite your best efforts, you’ll still run aground.

    Sometimes, the tide will come in and lift you up.

    And sometimes, you’ll be so tired that you’ll want to stay put.

    Regardless of your needs, your wants, your desires, or your pleas,

    the storm will not abate…until you’re done.

  • America, A country built on freedom and peace for everyone…yeah right.

  • Elusive

    If the inevitability of death merely heralds the inevitability of eternity, then I must ask myself, “What do I want from eternity?”

    More than happiness,

    more than comfort,

    I want peace.

    Not peace in knowing that I have everything I need,

    or everything I want,

    but peace in not needing anything or wanting anything…

    no contention, no yearning, no expectations.

    Just the absence of clutter,

    the absence of noise,

    the absence of unfulfilled expectations,

    and more than anything, the absence of needing to trust.

    Instead, the presence of silence without a need to break it.

    No needs, no wants, no desires, no anything,

    just…peace.

  • Peace is acquired when desire meets reality. In the absence of a palatable reality, align your desires with your needs if you’re ever to find peace.

  • The spinelessness of some, breaks the back bone of others.

  • There isn’t enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of a single candle…wish I had a candle.
