Portion of a Modern Psalm

I do not have to prove to you
that God loves even me
It will be proof enough
to sit with you at the table

But if that blood
won't cover me
You'll hear me shout God's praises
to the very gates of Hell

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'."
~Unknown

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.”

In my sky at twilight you are like a cloud

“Any wrongdoing you do to anybody, come out plain – ‘Madam, I have wronged you. Forgive me.’ That will make me feel happy. Without a cent, I will accept it. But when you have wronged me, you roam around, I see you, I know what you have done to me, it pains me. But when you voice it, reconciliation will go and I will be very peaceful. This is what we need here.”

—Isata Ndoleh, Mommy Queen, Kailahun District, Sierra Leone

Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.

"When I was a child
I had my sword.
I took it out once and
proudly displayed it.
Such pride.
Such reverence.
I was punished.
So I sheath my sword.

When I was a teenager
I had my sword.
I took it out once and
proudly displayed it.
Such pride.
Such manliness.
I was punished.
So I sheath my sword.

When I was a warrior.
I had my sword.
I took it out once and
proudly displayed it.
I was willing to fight.
To be the man I knew I was.
Such dignity.
Such honor.
Such a dashing warrior.
I was punished.
So I sheath my sword.

When I fell in love,
I had my sword.
I took it out once and
proudly displayed it.
Such humility.
Such trepidation.
Such dignity.
I thought the time right,
the woman right.
I was punished.
So I sheath my sword.
Could no longer take the pain,
the guilt.
My pride is gone filled by shame,
my reverence disappears,
my manliness no longer exists,
should not exist,
has no right to exist.
It never really existed.
I feel I shall never be called upon
to fight the good fight for a woman,
to bravely protect a woman,
to stand tall for a woman,
to have a woman lean on me.
I bury my sword deeply,
wipe its memory from my mind.
I no longer want it.
I bow my head in sorrow, defeated,
no tears shed.
Only sorrow, shame, guilt.
I was not,
could not,
will not,
ever be who I thought I was.
I am not a man.
I am not a woman.
I am nothing.
I only exist as a joke.
I only breath.
I wait.
I wait for death.
I invite death.
I beg death.
There is nothing,
a vacuum,
no life,
nothing left to be.

When I was older and single,
I remembered
I had my sword.
I took it out once and
proudly displayed it to myself.
I stroked my sword,
it came alive in my hand.
There was no punishment.
No fear.
No regret.
There was life.
I breathe the air with gusto.
I stand tall in my boots.
I stand straighter.
I live my life with curiosity,
with hope.
Such pride.
Such reverence.
Such dignity.
Such a dashing warrior.
Such manliness.
I did not sheath my sword.

When I was older
a beautiful woman came to me.
I knew I had my sword,
I took it out once and
proudly displayed it to her.
She smiled up at me.
She gently reached her hands out
and held my sword,
my soul,
my fears,
my ego,
my pride,
my manliness,
all of me.
She held my sword with such
pleasure in her eyes.
She held my sword with
happiness,
gentleness,
firmness,
She held my sword with
love.

I live.
I love.
I thank her."

"The road to peace is not passive. The passive rarely know peace. For they fear the fight, and the path and the journey. It is the warrior who knows true peace . If the passive are to taste peace at all , it is because the warrior has sacrificed." - Unknown

"Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, 'I can't tell if that person is laughing or crying, but either way they seem crazy, let's walk faster.' Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling." ~ Ellen DeGeneres
