Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
Born for something
Set for something
Found for something
Flow for something
Which way, which way
This way, that way
You know, I know;
This is the high way
The one that takes you
Like a divine force
You know I know
This is the way forward
Nothing is more sure
Than to follow your hearts call
Or all will be lost for;
Simply follow your true heart call
I am the one who
Finds your true path for you
Ignore all the other calls
I’m the one meant for you
~ M.L.Adams
Sometimes it feels like;
You’re at the bottom of the mountain
But you’re actually half way up
Keep on going and you’ll get to the top
~M.L.Adams
A motivational verse for Monday, have a great day.
Always keep going and never give up. Miranda.x
… Yep, that includes you, your best mate, your lover, your beautiful kids, your gorgeous grandma and your favourite teacher from school. But you knew that already, right? The thing is, it also includes the colleague who bitches about you, the friend who betrayed you, the lover who stopped loving you, the driver who cut you up at a roundabout, the father who judged you, the boss who sacked you and that irritating kid down the road who you feel like strangling sometimes! Although this may be hard to believe, Nichiren was adamant that everyone has Buddha-potential: “All of the people of the ten worlds can attain Buddhahood. We can comprehend this when we remember that fire can be produced by a stone taken from the bottom of a river, and a candle can light up a place that has been dark for billions of years.”

Energy coursing,
Racing and flowing
Always changing;
Always unknowing
Vigorously,forcefully
Pushing and throwing
Nothing that stopped it,
It just kept on going
This forceful energy
Dynamic and growing
Got stronger and stronger
Til it reached a mighty blowing
Smashing like thunder
Like nothing of any knowning
All dissipated now theres
Nothing more to be showing
Dynamic force
So driving with pain
There was nothing
That you ever could gain
I am thankful for
Your now gone pain
As I have found a way
To rise up once again
~ M.L.Adams
‘Today is not just another day, today is a gift.’
Beautiful video by Louis Schwartzberg that teaches us the importance of gratitude and the beauty that is here in each and every moment.
‘It is never about the destination, it is always about the journey. Live for the journey in each and every moment.’ – M.L.Adams
Hate the sin, love the sinner.’ ~ Gandhi
You can’t unlearn what is learnt
Or undo what is done,
Every path is a lesson
To what you can become,
Find the power in every path
Then begin again once more,
To be far stronger and better
Than you ever were before
~ M.L.Adams
For anyone going through a tough time in any way, be strong as you know you are:)
I am open now, my heart is once more;
I can feel again, like I used to before
The fear and pain had closed me, this time it was no more;
This time was different, a journey of sorts
My feelings were just flowing like never before;
Now I am open again, this time much more
I will not close off again for I choose to have love,
Now I know what to do when things get really tough
I have to keep on fighting, To keep the feeling flowing
Whilst continuing on the path, to where I was going,
This is the journey, the jouney of love & life
The natural ups & downs, the transformations we must seek,
For this is where the heart is; not in closing off & feeling weak
The journey can be hard sometimes, sometimes harder than we know,
We want to run away and hide from all that hurts our soul
But this is far more painful, for then you do not know,
What you are missing out on when you journey with the flow.
~ M.L.Adams
This is one of the first poems I wrote, when I first started writing at the beginning of this year; literally on New Years Day( It wasn’t planned that way of course, so quiet odd:). Anyhow It took a lot of pain for me to go through to get to this place and I was left with this gift of being able to allow my thoughts to flow in writing, of which I’m immensely grateful for.
I’m thankful also for any readers too, sharing is a blessing as it adds more purpose to writing and I also hope I can inspire some of you too. Writing is a beautiful way of letting go and sharing and I feel blessed to have learnt that this year.
Thank you for reading,
Miranda
Awake, Awake, sweet souls awake
Awake from that sleep where you hide
The time is now to see your truth
The time is now to wake up from inside
Life is a journey for all souls to take
You don’t need to hide, you can handle this
Ride your sweet journey open and awake
Awake sweet souls; awake for good
Show who you really are, be all you can
Don’t hide from what hurts or you lose what is good
You’ve nothing to hide, only to bring your beauty to this land
~ M.L.Adams
