open space

The human mind is a huge sponge, each second of every day processing information, sights and sounds, directing you through tasks involved in everyday living. In all the excitement, though every activity, bits and pieces become trapped in your psyche. Some of this information is forgotten, or put aside, other times the residue of all the activity affects your nocturnal or unconscious thought.

The human will is an amazing thing. It can guide you to success, steer you through adversity, or just help you cope with what life throws at you. Willpower works through the daylight hours, but can also mold dreams and visions. Like any activity (music, yoga, art, science, theology) dreaming takes learning and practice. With some effort, and most of it done while you sleep, you are able to empower yourself by channeling your beliefs.

Some days you just have
to sit and think for a while.
What are you dealing with?

It is not same. We may use
  identical words, but
      the meaning differs.
   Our experience should be
   distinguishable.   We all
have a voice. Understand.
         If you claim my words
            as yours,
               you steal my breath.
 I will not let go. You will not
    lose my meaning, but only
       show your true depth.
         Have you no courage
         to speak for yourself?

The uninformed
indecision of others is
uniformly unstable.
It is obvious at 3:23 a.m..

It will only lead you forward
cannot take you anywhere
you don’t want to go.
Inhale, then exhale
all from within.
Your breath may, at times,
be hesitant and life will
certainly provide moments
that leave you breathless,
but sometimes that is good.
Other times
you may need a minute
to sit to and catch your wind.
Breathe and see all you can be.
