.. in this year to come ..

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are
making new things, trying new things, learning,
living, pushing yourself, changing yourself,
changing your world. You’re doing things
you’ve never done before, and more importantly,
you’re doing something.

new-year-2017-smaller

As 2017 begins, we find life and the world in a precarious balance – the political scene in many countries struggling; terrorist activities still at play; war tearing apart lands; anger and discord abound.  It is a struggle to find our own personal peace within during times such as these.  But it is important that we strive for positivity; that we peer through the clouds for something that makes us smile.  Maybe it is the puppy at your feet or the little child down the street or is it a smile from a stranger or even an agreement with an enemy?  We need to do better, be better and help our children, family, friends and those we mentor follow in the steps of positive approach.  When someone says something negative about a gender, a race, a sexual preference, an immigrant – try to diffuse the negativity and move the needle to a more proactive and equal position.  We will never agree with everyone’s opinion but shouldn’t we open our minds, ears and perhaps our hearts to try to understand why there is a difference of opinion?  We should strive to find our own peace amongst the chaos. As the golden rule says – “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matt. 7:12).

I wish each and every one of you a blessed 2017 – a year that you find happiness and love; a year where you achieve your goals – big and small; a year that allows you to overcome the low times and find the good each time.  Find your peace and surround yourself with those that compliment and help you be better.  *hugs*

..gesture of my brain..

 

Since Feeling is First

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers.
Don’t cry
the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph

and death i think is no parenthesis
