these are the words I have prayed to receive

Complete
Krista Rose Strode
Complete.
Could I ever have believed those words
Before we had met?
Would I have believed in you before we touched?
I love you.
Such simple words
To hold all of my being,
To be all that I am.
You love me.
Words that come so easily to you
That can shatter the sun
And drown all the stars.
Desire.
Such a shallow feeling
Until your touch
Alighted my entire soul.
Perfection.
Something I never wanted
Until I realized in our imperfection
Our togetherness was my ideal.
Forever.
A concept I never believed
Until all of eternity was revealed
Lying, waiting in your eyes.
But why?
The gods may never tell me
Why I’m now free to be happy,
But I rejoice in you.
You love me.
Heaven could be no better place than this.
I love you.
My soul is infinite and complete.
I love you honey, may your marriage, and life be blessed always! Mom

Creator of the universe, create in me.

Lover of all beings, fill me with your love,

Great One, whose Oneness heals all things,

dreams come true

Creativity is… seeing something that doesn’t exist already. You need to find out how you can bring it into being and that way be a playmate with God.
– Michele Shea

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

and so we start fresh today

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

– Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

full circle

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time
– T. S. Elliot

what do we control? the most important thing! our attitude!

You may not control all the events that happen to you,

but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

– Maya Angelou

 

But exactly the same thing will finally happen to all of us,

whether we live right and respect God or sin and don’t respect God.

As long as we are alive, we still have hope….

Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live,

and let me not be put to shame in my hope!

Ecclesiastes 9:2,4; Psalm 119:116

All the Hemispheres

 Hafez

by Paulo Coelho on August 26, 2010

Leave the familiar for a while. Let your senses and bodies stretch outLike a welcomed season Onto the meadows and shores and hills.

Open up to the Roof. Make a new water-mark on your excitement And love.

Like a blooming night flower, Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness And giving Upon our intimate assembly.

Change rooms in your mind for a day.

All the hemispheres in existence Lie beside an equator In your heart.

Greet Yourself In your thousand other forms As you mount the hidden tide and travel Back home.

All the hemispheres in heaven Are sitting around a fire Chatting

While stitching themselves together Into the Great Circle inside of You.

Hāfez (1325/26–1389/90) was a Persian poet. From: ‘The Subject Tonight is Love’

I am excited to give art journaling a try very soon. I have been studying it for a couple of years now and, I must admit, I have been a little intimidated by it, but here I am ready to try it!!!

live your life – all we truly have is this moment!

20120808-085625.jpg

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you
can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep
moving forward.
– Martin Luther King Jr.
