Self Reliance

images

You don’t need someone to be strong for you;

You need to be strong for yourself,

You don’t need someone to believe in you;

You have to believe in yourself

You don’t need someone to tell you when to go;

You need know yourself;

Know yourself and what you can do,

What you can be, truly from within

Only then when you’re really there for yourself,

Can you be there for anyone else

Only then when you truly believe in yourself, 

Can you really be at your best 💕

~ M. L Adams

 

Hearts in Union

Life leads the thoughtful man on a path of many windings,

Now the course is checked, now it runs straight again

Here winged thoughts may pour freely forth in words,

There the heavy burden of knowledge must be shut away in silence

But when two people are at one in their inmost hearts,

They shatter even the strength of iron or of bronze,

When two people understand each other in their inmost hearts;

Their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance of orchids 💕

~ Confucius

Watching the Wind

Watching the wind,

Rushing

Silently,

Blowing,

Between everything

Bringing the invisible to visible,

Flowing through everything

Now loudly

Now hiding

Connecting to all things,

Where nothing is missed;

All things exist

~ M. L Adams

Teacup Sky

 

A teacup without emptiness

Is like a bird without sky

Caught up some where

With nowhere to fly

Lost in its ownness

Trying to get by

With nothing to trust in

No wind and no sky,

When a teacup has emptiness

The bird can again fly

Free in it’s trusting

In the oneness of it’s own flight ❤

~ M.L Adams

Flow Like Water

Life is as water

Always changing , always adapting

Its a journey that flows in living

Be one with it and its torrents

It is there we find peace

It is there we find stillness

Flow as water,

It is there you’ll find joy; from within

~ M.L.Adams

Closing the gap

To close the gap
Between this world and that
Where all is seen
Simply flowing

To close the gap
Between this world and that
Where all is one
No one is stuck,
Out there
Somewhere in between

To close the gap
Between me and you
Between all of you
So all is one
Nothing is lost
All is whole
As it always was ❤

~ M. L Adams
