"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

Meeting of cultures
What do you know about being black? She asked the yellow colored girl.
Hey girl! I see you walking. Looking and moving – you look just like me. Your hips are moving and tongue clicking. I see you speaking of my plight. Chocolate skin… Hold on girl! Caramel, almond, cafe con leche, caju, mel, and then chocolate. My hips don’t move, they sway My tongue dances formulating words foreign to this harsh idiom. Our cause is/not one of the same. Seeking to be seen, recognized, validated, and legalized. Our history are beats of a drum – African/ Caribbean/Indigenous/ Latina I am like you – not. You see me walking. I am just like you - not Then I speak. I am lost. Hey girl! Now, you don’t recognize me. ~SPS |
All passages from Elizabeth Gilbert's, Eat, Pray, Love.
“I was full of a hot, powerful sadness and would have loved to burst into the comfort of tears, but tried hard not to, remembering something my Guru once said -- that you should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong, instead.”
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.” “Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.” “and when you sense a faint potentiality for happiness after such dark times you must grab onto the ankles of that happiness and not let go until it drags you face-first out of the dirt-this is not selfishness, but obligation. You were given life; it is your duty to find something beautiful within life no matter how slight.” |

They call to me
full breasted, wet and restless they scream my name sweet tenderness, the wild tamed. Her, She, woman, femme her delicate tastes, supple skin, submissive ways. they look different, they are warm, kind, generous. She melts in my mouth She buckles under my sex she, who is not here but wanted her; the one that lingers femme, the half to my whole so familiar and never getting old. Though I've discovered a challenge to my want, the memory of you remains, she who calls to me is left behind because you are still there. teasing me with a love forgotten. Taunting me with the story of us turned to the breaking of me... My heart is not healed yet- it is then I realize I am not reaching for anyone but running away from you. I am not seeking to be with "her" I am trying to forget you I am lost, I am wandering. I am not yet free from the place you made in my heart. And my heart aches. So I step forward and fall back I reach and recoil I rise and dissolve. She who steals from my breathe- woman, who arouses my senses femme, she who feeds the flames of my desire My missing piece lies lost under the sofa The picture is there but it will take a thorough spring cleaning for it to be whole. So I wait, I distract and I cry... I run, I walk and I hide.-ME |

Love, something we all live with, dream of, or hope for
Tis a gift that is not to be taken lightly A gift from one heart to another given in faith From one soul wanting to give to another soul longing to receive Coming together from darkness and sorrow, from loss and despair Into the glow of a rainbow after the rains have fallen Sunshine lights the path, though it be dark in the early morn A new dawn is to awaken the sleeping heart of the lost soul A new era approaches the lives of two who have wandered Within the shadows of their life, the attic of their minds Where dust had gathered a breeze now gently blows all away To reveal the beauty of what may come and shine forth A beauty that can only be shared by two with faith in themselves and trust in their hearts A desire for consummate love bubbles within and gives a reason to live To live and let every moment together count, waste not one day nor even one moment This is beauty that can overcome the darkness, a love that can grow When given the chance to risk, to grab hold of the clouds and soar Open the door, let it all in, cherish it, live it, and do not let go Refrain not when love knocks gently on your heart's door One has so much to give, the other has so much need to be loved and cared for, someone to walk with, to be there Which is the one who needs to give, or the one who needs to be Held and loved, nourished and soothed, it changes from day to day Arms that ache to be holding the one, the love that blooms A fire that burns and must be quenched before it consumes Love cannot grow if not given a chance, A risk not taken is to not feel the dance Of moments together to create memories Swaying together with a garden breeze Gently caressing the lovers that embrace Behind curtains of white gossamer lace From shaking hands and heart, about to risk, a Sacred Love begins to grow, born of purity and faith, trust and spiritual knowing There are times when someone also needs the courage to just live Reach out, take the hand offered, take the heart that loves you Treat it with great care, and give back the love And the rose, when turned, becomes Eros, the god of Love |

"Appearances of things changes according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are already in ourselves"
-Kahlil Gibran :moonstars: "I am not interested in your limiting beliefs; I am interested in what makes you limitless. I'm not interested in your weakness, but your strength; not in your vices but your virtues; not your insecurities but your greatness. Stop spinning in your past or on all the reasons you feel you are not good enough. It's time to step into a higher state of being above the fray and fear. It is not what makes you small or limited that you should focus on. It is what makes you magnificent, remarkable, loving, blessed...ready!!" -Brendon Burchard (Author of the Charge) |
"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.” ~Frida Kahlo |
