Nothing ventured, nothing gained

[RedEmbers]

It is time to put some
Things to rest,

We did our time,
We did our best.

Not all things were made
Simply for grief and lament

Proud memories were made,
Through the dreams we dreamt.

It is time to share a
Few heart felt things...

Where the dancers dance and
The singers sing.

Here within the singers heart,
One song must now depart,

Drawing breath, the instrument begins
To speak through the truth, not through whim.

Who needs to hear these words so pure -
With no aim beyond freedom, truths only lure.

For freedom to be, adventure must start,
To venture, one must lead from the heart.

Wisdom knows that love can lead to pain,
That broken world's must turn to change.

When perspectives shift, nothing remains the same -
If nothing is ventured, nothing can be gained.

[RedEmbers]

As sentimental as I can be, my life is bound in practicality.

I lead with the heart, my mind a servant to what could be...

A quiet mind and a loving heart walk together

Through the realm of possibilities.

im tired of venturing
it just leaves me feeling
rejected

besides
it is sad
that noone else
will ever
do the same,
venturing,
in relation to a me...

since it is always up to me
and I'm tired of being rejected
I guess
this train ain't going nowhere.

It's good to go nowhere sometimes too

I took time off from going anywhere for some time to just stop and be. That was perfectly fine too.

Sometimes I like to imagine being a well loved cat, never having to go anywhere or do anything and have others come to me, hang out and dote on me.
It sounds kind of strange I guess but it was a visualisation which actually helped me to start feeling less alone and isolated.

The moment life begins, we are on a big adventure. Hey, Red it's been a while.

Cradle to the grave, so many souls do we touch, all giving us a little nudge, a little push off-kilter, we go on regardless of their visions.. some we might embrace.

Yes, Happy New Year.

I find this takes a lot of positiveness these days.

Falling Leaves...

I saw this quote today on facebook and thought of you and myself too

"Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true. Lonliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Loosing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world which covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world which does not hurt".
Liam Neeson.

It is here,

In the centre of a cyclone

That I stand.


Amazed by how the trees

Either Bend or

Break in the wind.


These years have been cyclonic...

With us all in the midst of it...

Deciding upon our stance.


It is these years that I have

Leaned towards resilience...

Standing strong yet flowing with the storm...


It is these years where I have

Done away with fight to flourish...

Moving freely with the storm.
