Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
Powerful, True and inspiring.
The true importance of vulnerability that deep down we all know is essential for real living.
Very real video, well worth watching several times 🙂
‘To be true to ourselves is to be true to others. To be true is to connect on a real level. This is where love exists.’
~ M.L.Adams
The place where love is born
Deep inside where nothings worn
All open fresh and new
Like new spring blossom dew
Such beauty deep within
Brings pimples to your skin
All fresh and new and bright
Like morning sunlight
Hold on each day and night
To such beauty in your life
Each day can be this way
Such a beautiful loving place
~ M. L.Adams
‘Our lives are a journey during which we must find our own answers and make our own paths.’~ Muhammad Ali
Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities in the world.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The spiritual path is simply the journey of living our lives. Everyone is on a spiritual path, most people just don’t know it.
~ Marianne Williamson
When you feel that you are in flow you just know that you are right, you feel that you are completely free and that you are in flight.
Lifting high above anything in to the free night , like nothing can hurt you or hold you down tight.
When you feel you are in flight you know that you can fight, that nothing or no one can hurt you not with all there might.
You are in a state of wonder that’s high in to the light, so free like a firefly that is shining so so bright.
~ M.L.Adams
This is a poem I wrote about the state of being flow, I called it flight because of the freeing feeling of being in this state. Just like that of flying (the parachute jump is something I’m planning on doing very soon so I can experience flight for real 🙂
Finding our flow however it may be, such as through poetry or sports, is something I believe we should practice everyday. It is the art of expressing oneself completely, freely and of being in our zone.
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will,
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you’re outcast, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
~ Walter D Wintle
Such a beautiful poem with truth in every word, a gift to all of us from Walter D Wintle.
So often we become so focused on the finishing line that we fail to enjoy the journey. ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Have a great Saturday and enjoy the journey of today:)
A Butterfly, a Chapel, a Ladybird, a Breeze
There’s the beauty of an angel inside each one of these
There’s the same beauty in each one of us, If that is how we choose to be
Free and flowing like an angel in each of you and me
The beauty of an angel, the beauty you can’t always see.
~ M.L.Adams
Trust in yourself , be true to what you know
In what is right for your life
On who you are and where to go
Listen within, trust and show that you know
In how far you can go and what it is you need to show
Open up your heart and world by listening from within
It’s from there where your life can really begin
It is there where the answers lie
Only there within
Looking outside your life will not lead you right
As others will only see you through their own eyes
Show to all what it is that you can really do
Do that which  is really right and really true for you
Only then will you really know how to bring to life
That which is your true power from within your own life
~ M.L.Adams
