The Journey of a Martial Artist

The journey of a martial artist is a tough one, it is that of a warrior. One who is willing to set their mind and spirit on the ability to overcome any obstacle for the sake of moral justice and protection of those who need it most.

It is a journey that tests our character and willpower to the upmost but one that is worth every step of the way, for the courage and integrity it builds within are values that once there are always within you.

These values and many others are built along the journey. As a Martial Artist grows and are tested throughout the way, their belt begins as white and gradually become darker over time with all the effort put in; then further over many more years it returns to white again.

Why is this and what does it symbolise;

Throughout the journey of toil and effort we grow stronger and our belt is soiled, then further and further it begins to fade. We then reach a time where we no longer fight as our intuition is so developed we realise we need not fight, and as any great martial artist knows the highest skill is to not have to fight at all. To sense an opponent before he can even engage with you.

The journey is one that always stays with you and these are skills that will always remain a part of you.

Ultimately we return to our original purity; to the source ♡

Taking Risks

There are always risks;
You share you might get rejected,
You open up you might get dismissed
You let go, you might let the darkness in;

But whats the alternative,
A life closed off
Scared and in hurt,
Vulnerable like a tiny little bird

Yet with every opening
You build your courage from within
Growing stronger with every single beat,
Until you are ready to expand your wings Fully let go; step off that ledge and fly ❤

Always here

Don’t be so busy looking

That you miss what is already here

Don’t spend so much time searching 

That you miss what is always here

For the truth has always been here

The truth is always right here

Let go of looking

See all that is,

Simply be here ❤❤❤

~ M.L Adams

Love is

Love is not a need

Love sets you free 

Beyond the you and me

Maybe that’s why you’re here

To move beyond all of this

To show the truth within

So we can find that emptiness 

The love that sets you free

In to the all that is 💕

Your heart knows the way

We don’t need to know or say, only to feel and move

Its our journey and within we always know the way,

Ultimately the heart decides

When we listen within, the way finds us;

We only have to listen to what it says ♡

~ M.L Adams

For so long

For so long I sought to find you

And you where no where to be found

For so long  I tried to find you

Only to be eluded every time

Every now and then I saw you

For only a very short time

But all the for so long ,

Just for this one moment

Was worth every single cry 

For now that I see you 

Now that I hear you

Its worth every second that I tried ♡

No fixed position

What does it mean to have no fixed position?

Is it a lack of faith or understanding?

Not this or that,

No fixed position is simply an awareness of what is,

Without anything added to it

An acceptance of the whole

From no fixed position we are free and without conflict

Seeing all as it is

As one whole

Often the more we add to something the more we cause conflict,

Within and without

Simply here,

Simply being

Seeing all you can see;

Being with all that is

That is freedom ♡

Black and White are One

What has happened in the last two weeks and to George Floyd is so very sad. Black lives matter, all lives matter and the topic should never even be an issue and needs to be openly exposed.

Why are we so blind to our truth that we are all one, why separate and judge on differences, surely we should have moved on from this, surely it should not be an issue at all. But yet the sad fact is it is, for race, health, age and any other reason it goes on.

There is always another way and I really do hope that one day it will really change completely. Lets do all we can to make it so ♡

We are one

We are one 

A whole cycle

One truth;

Just different shades

 

From white to black,

Black to white;

All in between

Were all the same,

So why judge,

Why segregate?

 

What you do to another 

You do to yourself

So simply see

We are one whole;

All the same

 

We may be in different places,

Different spaces;

Yet were all the same

Were one whole,

One human race

 

Life is life

See from the heart

Let go of the strain,

We are all one; deeply the same ♡

Past eyes

Are you here in the now

Or looking through past eyes

Do you see me in the now

Or are you looking through past eyes

For what is, is only here

It’s all here,

So what are you seeing

Is it what you choose to see

Or are you really seeing me

Really seeing,

Really being ♡
