Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
With loss of old ways
New flowers sprung
A new way, new bloom
Finding a new way,
A peaceful ground
All was new, like a comfy pair of shoes
All shines through
Where every moment is new; the lotus flower blooms
Having overcome all dark clouds,
The lotus through the mud
Found a way no matter what đź’•

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 ♡

Life is always moving,
Always moving on
Were here in this moment;
As the next one just comes
Each one fleeting,
Each one unknown
We may try hard to grasp it
Yet we cannot;
Just as this moment comes,
In the next it is gone
Life is only here;
There is nothing to hold on
Just like water;
It is always moving,
We are always moving,
Always moving on đź’•

When your heart tells you something’s wrong, listen
When you heart tells you, you understand, listen
When your heart tells you to move on, listen
For others may tell you all day long, whats right and wrong
But your heart only knows whats true for you;
In all that you are,
For all you have been through,
Listen to your heart;
Listen to its wisdom ♡
~ M. L Adams
For all in the journey
The present holding kindnessÂ
It has always been here ♡

To set out on a new journey
Open and free;
Simply to be
To set out on a new journey,
One with all that is,
The journey has been waiting,
Now you’re ready
To set out on a new journey,
That’s so perfect and pleasing
That all you can say,
With all that you see;
Is did I find it, or did it find me ♡
~M.L Adams
Silently flowing
On soulful mysteries path
Only love is real ♡
~ M.L Adams
We can search the world for the honour we deserve
And we will never find it
Why,
Search here and there
Everywhere
And you will never find it,
Why,
In all the illusionsÂ
In all the liesÂ
You will never find itÂ
Why;
Because it is never outside,
What is outside is only inside
Look inside;
Or get lost finding
Whatever your journey,
Remember who you really are;
And you are half way there ❤
~M.L Adams
As you look back with a tear in your eye
To see how your journey unfolds,
As if the road ahead was somehow foretold
Yet all this you could never have known;
That step by step the journey you took, would always lead you to gold
And that gold is where you never thought to look,
As all along on this beautiful journey you had it with you;
Which only makes the gold all the more beautiful♡
~ M.L Adams
 A prayer for the all
Moving through stages
To where all of life is always connected,
Seeing the all, in movement through stillness
Where the melody between all of the beats is created,
Where one to one is simply one
They all go together in interrelation,
All meeting here in this beautiful life
Springing from the ground;
Blooming in to appearance♡
