Maya Angelou, my thoughts and admiration.
In her words her soul speaks
through the valleys and peaks
to the women and men
to the people that stand
the great leaders of nations
her words contemplations
dancing swift writings
treasures and findings
the mother, the child
the friend, the sister
the poet the writer
Inspiration of nations
heavenly contemplations
you leave behind more than a word
you leave behind more than a song
you leave behind more then a speech
you leave a legacy we can only wish to reach
As your spirit flies high
and your soul peace above finds
Thank you to a Phenomenal Woman
Who once dared to fly
A little understanding
In the end forgiveness is freedom, We are as I was, as you were, as I am, as you are. The circumstances allow growth and development and surrender is peace. The Bitterness is not the Betterment. The light is then allowed and life is worth it.
Through my lens A little understanding. April Peerless with posts of spirituality.
Without WAR/PEACE would not be appreciated
Without FEAR/COURAGE would not flourish
Without DEATH/BIRTH would not be honored
Without FAITH/BELIEVE would be impossible
Without FLAWS/LESSONS would not be learned
Without IGNORANCE/WISDOM would not be reached
Without PAST & FUTURE/PRESENT MOMENT becomes light embraced as is
Without HUMANITY/INHUMANITY would prevail
Without EARTH/ISLANDS become worlds
The leaders before us and the leaders among us, in their wisdom have paved the world. The teachings of forgiveness, love, understanding, and contentment with the world as is, acceptance as you are, as I am, as I was, as you were. The understanding of acceptance is nothing more then the word itself defined without extra parables.
The journey to understand, living a life in this way is a balance. The opposition of the spectrum between the words is an invisible line we walk. We find ourselves walking on either side of the spectrum at any given time. When we develop, we begin to recognize some of the triggers that sway our reasoning from one end of the spectrum to the other.
The power of prayer and believing assisted my ability to become.
The discovery of embracing the imperfection within ourselves allows for acceptance, growth and development as I was, as you were, as I am, as you are.
“Al son de las mareas”: mi primer poemario
The first words and then a butterfly.
Cuando empecé a jugar con las letras para argumentar sobre la vida, lo hice tímidamente y con gran dificultad, pues no me era fácil convertir mis pensamientos en una realidad manuscrita. Confieso que al hacerlo sentí un enorme pudor a que alguien más pudiera leer mis textos, pues eran fruto de momentos de íntimo recogimiento que hacían sacar a la luz reflexiones, historias, opiniones y sueños. Pero a la vez, experimenté una necesidad, casi morbosa, de compartirlos con los demás, lo que supuso para mí todo un desafío.
Soy plenamente consciente de lo mucho que me ha enganchado este oficio artesano de entretejer palabras, de sentir cómo éstas se adueñan de mis pensamientos y de mi tiempo -o al revés- y de lo mucho que me permite disfrutar de ello. Y que desde mis inicios –cinco años atrás- los textos resultantes se han convertido en realidades soñadas.
Una de estas…

You are a writer
SUPERCHARGE YOUR TIME
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
Charles Darwin
WE MAKE CHOICES EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES
THE PATH WE WALK IN OUR LIVES IS SIMILAR TO THE SHOES WE WEAR
WE PICK A PAIR, WALK, AND MOVE FORWARD SIMILAR TO THE HANDS ON A CLOCK
THE CAPACITY OF SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED WITH FORWARD THINKING AND MOVEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES; STAGNATION IS THE ALTERNATIVE
I ONCE FAILED IN BASKETBALL AND AFTER A YEAR OF PRACTICE, PERSEVERANCE, ENCOURAGEMENT FROM OTHERS, BELIEVING IN MYSELF, POSITIVE THINKING, AND GUIDANCE FROM A COACH, I LEARNED LESSONS THAT LASTED BEYOND A BASKETBALL COURT.
WE ARE GIVEN SCENARIOS AND PATHS IN OUR LIVES WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER, HOWEVER WE CHOOSE THE SHOES WE WEAR TO REACT AND WALK
WE HAVE THIS MOMENT LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST
MY UPCOMING BOOK IS A STORY OF THE MENTALITY OF SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT TO
LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE, MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE
WE CHOOSE AFTER ALL HOW WE SPEND OUR SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, LIFETIME
WE ALL HAVE IT WITHIN US
Did God Create Time, Or is God Time? (A Philosophers Dream)
The clock moves forward. Time will always pass. We choose our present to shape our future. The choice of living a positive life and overcoming is a gift. The ability to share is a blessing.
LIVE life is a gift, LAUGH we have this moment and one life, with LOVE all things are possible, MOTIVATE for a positive balanced life, INSPIRE with your story.

TIME.
‘In the beginning was the word,’ or, if you are a believer of the big-bang theory, in the beginning was a cosmic explosion from which we all originated.
However, before either of those two occurrences, there was something else in existence.
It was Time. Without there being Time, neither event could have happened. No word could have been written, spoken or thought, and no explosion taken place.
It was Time that introduced the solar system that we know, and it will be Time that will end it.
If you accept this premise then, to use a modern parlance, the rest of my discourse is a given!
Darwin argues that we evolved from a unicellular organism, an amoeba type creature, into what we are today. I personally disagree with that, but I will not discuss my beliefs here.
Suffice it to say that whether he is correct or Christianity is…

Writing is the Only Way
The moment of choice. I have loved writing for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first poem at the age of 10. Can you recall your moment of choice?? Your first book or short story, the first time you wrote from the heart, the first key stroke, the first time your pen danced on paper and your thoughts became life on paper?
A Spiritual path
Holds true for friendships & social encounters. To be positive and comfortable with yourself as you are allows for positive thoughts, friendship, and life with purpose.
Loving people that we never met,
can only come from deep within
our Souls. When we are able to
do that,we know that we are
and have been on our true
spiritual path..

Airport arrival
We are what we believe.Think positive
As I sit at the airport in Philadelphia waiting for transportation and time to hit the 3 pm mark, I can’t help but observe people as they walk by. I read an earlier post about people watching and character development. I must admit I never thought about it in those terms. I agree, character development in some of our writings require observation.
I am glad I had the time to sit, observe, and think. It allows me time to enjoy the moment and treasure each step. I have learned a lot about publishing, marketing, writing, public speaking. In the hussle of business it is nice to sit, be, and observe the interaction. The family waiting for a loved one, the lady visiting Philadelphia for the first time much like myself, the workers coming and going.
It is time for me to keep walking. This is the first experience in a state I had never visited before. Life is like that. People come and go, they stand they sit, catch a flight, flash a smile. Life is built from moments and we choose our moments much like we choose the characters we write about.
Excited to learn
