We start as a boy…a girl, a girl…a girl, a boy…a boy, innocently walking hand in hand…just babies…young at heart and spirit…true love of one another… children…innocence at its purest.

Friends…more than friends…we grow with an understanding that we are who we are. And, what’s more we accept one another as being who we each are…we share some of the same likes…some of the dislikes. But yet there is no strife or care to change the other but to accept…who each of us are as we walk hand in hand…arm in arm.

Sadly, time passes and we drift apart…soon friends no more.  Some say we have changed. But, it was the seasons that have changed as the years past…darkening our world…not me, not you. But, we still go our separate ways.

The seasons changed, Spring to Summer, Summer to Fall, Fall to Winter and back to Spring again. But, as with the passing of each season…and a new year dawns, some allow their world to make a full circle back to the time when we were so free…as little children filled with the understanding and the care to accept you as you, as you accept me for being me.

Full circle…a boy…a girl, a girl…a girl, a boy…a boy, willing to once more walk innocently hand in hand, arm in arm…just babies…children willing accept you as you are, as you are willing accept me as I am.

Full Circle.

Success is fleeting, but the care for another life is more precious than all the success in the world. I see a beautiful soul in you. I see the care and the love that exists within you that is meant to help all so many souls along their way. Success is fleeting, but the love in your heart will last forever. You are more precious than all the success in the world…you are the heart that can make a difference in those that are hurting…and needing to be accepted in the world around them.

Full Circle.

I believe every moment in time is measured…not for the purpose of marking the passing of time itself…but in preparation to move the Balance Lever of each person to the place…the level where they have reached.

These levels are what we ourselves dictate for us to become. Through our actions, indecision to act and even conscious decisions not to act has an effect on our very souls as well as the souls of everyone around us.

The Balance Lever is to mark the existence of what we have become.

The Balance Lever is…TIPPED…not dipped by the moves we make or don’t make. To say that the lever of each of our lives is dipped by direct response or lack of response would to imply that the lever will one day adjust back to a high water level.

But that’s not the case. With every response or lack of response there is the possibility that the lever will be tipped and either a toll is extracted or the pillar’s light grows a little brighter.

The lever can be tipped in one of two directions.  But, be warned when the lever is eventually moved it never returns to its high water mark in either direction.

You see, the lever isn’t actually moved until you finally make the conscious decision to close your mind, eyes and heart to some issue, or make a stand against it.

In any case, our soul is marked by our action, or inaction. It’s sad to think that for some the lever is tipped in the wrong direction…their heart grows colder to those that are crying out.

And, there’s nothing that can melt a cold heart…once the lever is tipped too far.  For they no longer know that the Pillar’s light even exists…the thought of some Pillar’s charge is no longer visible to them. So, their heart and soul grow a little darker.

I believe that every soul on this earth is connected. And, if that’s so what is your stance in any one of the so many causes in the world that confronts the human soul?

The Balance Lever waits for your response. The choice is yours on how you react, or not react to any one of the all so many issues that confronts the souls on this earth.

You might say every issue concerns you…as every soul on this world is connected…if something concerns me it in turn affects you and every soul on this planet.

Just Who do you think you are…

Who do you think you are? Those words can be presented as a question with as many different meanings as there are tones in which to express them…

Just who do you think you are?  I’m actually asking because I care to know you.

Just who do you think you are…that’s a question that many spend a lifetime trying to figure out the answer to.  And, somehow never get it right.  But, it shouldn’t be that way.

I guess from time to time, I ask myself the very same question, “just who do I think I am?”

My answer isn’t that strange to understand.  Of course, I’m not referring to what I’ve become…as, there’s always hope that can be altered to match the real guy that I am…deep inside.

And, ARE you who you really say you are? There’s the rub…because there’s a lot going on around us, and times we try to cover up who we really are…so, as not to stand out and say how we truly feel about a subject, or what’s taking place around us.

How sad is that. Our voice is important…or, otherwise we wouldn’t have one.

As for me I don’t give a damn about what other people think of me…all that matters is how I feel about myself at the end of the day…because I’m truly all I’ve got.  I’m the one that I have to live with knowing and seeing who I am.

And, you are what you have to live with.  But, do you truly know who you are? And, there’s a reason why you should like who you are…or, to be exact the soul you truly are…because there’s no one quite like the true you, or the true me.

I guess the truth comes with your realization of just who you are…the person WE really want to know.  But, who are you really? It’s your soul we want to know. ..the spirit of who you truly are. And, the spirit can never lie…as it can’t help from revealing who you truly are.

Maybe that’s why many don’t let their spirits go free…they’re afraid to let others know exactly who they are…because they become VUL-NER-A-BLE.

So, you with the beautiful soul allow your spirit to go free and soar…and allow the real you to be free.

To all the Pillars of Light out there…when the pressures get too heavy to bear and everyone wants to be with you this weekend…you must take a few days to be with the ones you truly love the most and spend every waking moment with them. Take plenty of pictures…for memories that will last a lifetime.

A Sterile World (edited and reedited)

This isn’t for everyone…

I don’t want to live in a sterile world…as nothing grows or survives there. Yet life is seen to be perfect in that sterile world. How strange.

Stranger still is the fact that within those sterile walls there are a lot of people hurting right now.

Of course, if you don’t open your eyes to your perfect sterile world you wouldn’t see the faces of the souls that are hurting.

I DON’T WANT TO LIVE IN A STERILE WORLD…where special gifts are neglected and  left alone to spoil and die, and love is a word that holds no meaning. I want my spirit to soar to help free their spirits so they too can soar as high as my spirit soars…especially those souls that long for a gentle touch, to be held, to have their tears dried, and to be comforted as they are told someone is there for them.

Come on…open your eyes to those crying behind those sterile walls…and make a difference.

As for me, I am free and there’s no way I’m going back behind those sterile walls. The instructions that were once handed me on how to live have mysteriously disappeared, vanished. And, as I go peacefully along my way I make certain my spirit leads the way.

Say, maybe one day we’ll meet on our journey…and, together we can start a new tomorrow just outside those sterile walls.

The question is…are we truly here?

I see you…you see me…but, are we truly seeing each other?

The question is if you do see me what do you actually see? Am I, what I profess to be? If not…what do you see when you look at me?

There’s more to the puzzle that’s known as life, as I believe we are more than flesh and bones…we are first and foremost spirit…and, spirit has no color, or definition to show whether we’re tall or short…thin, or not.

And, if it’s true that we are actually spirit…how many can truly say you see me? The spirit as you know is invisible to the naked eye, but you can still feel me and truly know who I am…as I can learn who you are…that is if you really want me to touch you as you reach out to touch me.

But, very few are willing to take that chance for they reason if they reach out with their spirit they would leave themselves vulnerable to others around them.

They find comfort in staying still…afraid to reach out.  Think of what they are missing, not that they know their missing anything at all.

Now, how sad is that?

Think of the beauty of a true spirit that all so many are not caring to know…caring that’s the start of me truly knowing you…and, you truly knowing who I am.

Of course, there are certain spirits that only wish to hold you down… to dampen your gifted spirit. Those you have to avoid at all costs. But, even with these poisoned spirits roaming about there’s still no cause for alarm, or is there a reason to stop reaching out.

Just think if you stop reaching out you might miss that special someone who’s heart and soul is just like yours…made of all the right things you believe in and hold so dear…someone you would really want to spend your whole life with…even as a friend.

If we are spirits we truly cannot hide who we are. I want to see you now as you truly are…a beautiful spirit reaching out, touching me as I reach out and touch you.

Purpose:

I believe everyone on this earth has a purpose.

I believe everyone on this earth…whether you want to believe it or not serves a purpose…connecting each and every one of us together…making an invisible bond that is eternal …

There is a purpose…

A Warning…

Don’t break that bond, because you are just as important as everyone else. You are needed to make a difference by joining everyone else together.

There is a purpose for you being here…

Think of this…

Where you are now…there is a point on the fabric of time…and existence…if you take yourself out of play a hole forms…

There’s the reason…the purpose for your being here.

Envision that Hole…

That hole is large enough to allow everything around where you are now to fall through it and to be lost forever…including souls…whether or not they know it they counted on you to be there.

There’s the purpose for your being here…

Knowing is Believing …

I can’t see how there’s any way possible for anyone to pass through existence without having some sort of an effect on everyone else. Even if you stand there and do nothing…that still has an effect even though it has a reverse effect of what has to be done.

So, there is a Purpose for your being here. And, it’s not for you to just stand there…there’s a purpose for you being here.

Take a Moment to Reflect…

When something happens that shakes our world…we ask how could this happen?

The answer is simple it’s because it was allowed to come to pass because someone failed to act on his, or her purpose. When called upon to make a stand or to step forward they failed to show up…leaving others to fend for themselves.

But, that doesn’t have to be…There’s a Purpose for your being here.

Reason to Care…

All that it takes is for one someone not to take an active part in this world to allow a moment to occur that wouldn’t have otherwise taken place…and, the world comes crashing down. Thus, the world is changed…making it, I don’t know…less complete.

But, it doesn’t have to be that way…there is a purpose for you being here.

You, Yourself…

You’re important…don’t let anyone tell you differently…and, don’t let self-doubt take its toll…or, your pain to stop you from reaching out.

After all, there is a purpose for your being here.

The Pain…

Today…like every other day you can be the strength for someone who’s strength is waning. This fact goes double if you share the same pain.

Just take a look around you, and you can see the pain…you can make a difference even if you yourself are down. Maybe it’s what you need, giving of yourself can make a difference in how you feel…lift someone up today, dust them off and share a kind comforting word…

You’ll be surprised how your world brightens knowing you have a purpose in being here.

Look Beyond Yourself…

I guess what I’m saying…take your eyes off yourself and put your eyes on someone else that’s in pain and make a difference in their life. There’s a purpose for us being here.

Who knows, maybe you might feel a whole world better yourself…knowing you have a purpose to help someone else.

The Truth is…

Okay…it’s true, there are points on time that that are a constant…events we have no control over.

But, what I’m referring to are the events we can control…to change, stop from happening, or make better. So, stop believing that you don’t matter…or, the pain gets too bad…because you matter, and you  have a purpose.

You mean the world for everyone around you as you can make a difference… whether they know it or not they are counting on you to be there…for there’s no one else but you that can do what is needed to be done.

You have a purpose…so be there to help someone else along their way.

Silence…I do not want to hear.

Silence…that is not what I want to hear…not now, not ever again.

Silence is not what I want to hear when I should hear the sound of comforting words…but, only silence is heard

Silence is not what I want to hear when words of encouragement, words of good cheer…even words of I’m sorry are called for…but, only silence is found.

Silence is not what I want to hear when the tender spoken thoughts that say you are here for me…to know that you are not forgotten. ..or, neglected and unloved…are so badly needed, but are instead replaced with silence.

Silence is not what I want to hear when the sense of someone’s gentle touch, or the true compassion for anyone in need of even a single simple warm smile are longed for…but, only silence is met.

Silence is not what I want to hear when I know Children are in need of a helping hand…but, they are alone and in pain…like the old, or those that cannot fend for themselves…but silence is all that is known.

Silence…go away…for I no longer wait, or want to hear you anymore. Leave me be…so, I can feel and love…and, say I’m here for you to someone who is in need to have someone stand by their side.

Give A Damn…

There’s this place I know…and, it’s truly not that far away. If you look you can see it right from where you stand.

It’s a swell place…where people accept you as you are. It exists in your heart, in my heart and in anyone else’s heart that truly cares to be there for someone in pain and who is feeling as if there’s no one in the world that cares…But, there are people that truly care to listen, and to make certain you know they’ll always there for you…it’s called love, caring, and understanding…so, don’t be afraid to reach out,  as there’s someone there for you…a whole lot of us that care.

And, there’s no cause to fear…or to be alone. There’s a lot of people that don’t want you to go through this alone…they want to be there for you. So reach out and someone will be there for you.

Each year more and more kids run away from home, or are cast out from their family for various reasons. But, this is not how it should end. With each tale that begins let’s make sure there’s a happy ending…

If we fail to act it only goes to show we aren’t who we profess to be…So, Give A Damn!

Thank you Cyndi…

Japan…a Time to be Reborn

We have felt the tremors a thousand times each year, which made the threat not a threat at all. But, what made this time so different.

We awoke as we did before, to go work or to school. No one knew what awaited us later that day…for it was like any other day.

The young had their dreams and aspirations…the old held onto their memories…while the new born babies were held securely within their mother’s arms.

But, now it is time to rebuild, and to make new dreams and aspirations…and, new memories…and, to hold onto the precious things within our lives

It is now time to rebuild.

It is time for Japan to grow strong. I can now hear the warbler singing her song to me and for you… telling us that it’s time for Japan to be REBORN!
