souls and mates

"Somebody tell me why I'm on my own if there's a soulmate for everyone."

Now I'm not sold on the concept of a soul mate, but I do know that most people think of that mate in a romantic setting, so I ask... who says your soul mate has to be someone you're romantically attracted to?

Hmmm. Maybe you have your soul mate and have not acknowledged him or her as such.

I realize that the times when I leave my house and don't see it for days, where I change to go to the next event from the clothes in my car, when the next hour is unplanned but ends up being a great time anyway, is when I feel the most at home.

what's the deal?

I have a new problem. Maybe I always had it, but before now I was probably part of the problem, or at least, participating in the behaviour.

Why do we speak out against crime on a certain group of people? Gays and lesbians, women, 'blacks', Jews... and on and on. We make it seem like crime is ok, but once it is targetted at a specific group, it is the worst sin in the world.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

People are people! Who cares if a man is being beaten because he's gay, or because he's black, or because he's Arabic? A man is being beaten! Full stop! We need to stop this racial/sexual/age/colour/height/weight/gender/nationality distinctions and start behaving like everyone matters. Why is the man who kills me for my wallet better than the man who kills me for my skin colour. I'M STILL DEAD!

It's the subtle behaviours and thoughts that define us. The things we do instinctively that we don't even think once about, but that we learned from someone else. We need to start examining them and thinking about what we are saying and doing so we don't instinctively pass this behaviour on to our children. Prejudice against groups of people is never going to stop if we constantly think of people in groups.

Each individual matters!

Two highly creative people can either hold firm and have their ideas clash, or bend and create great masterpieces together.

where your heart is... safe

'I'm staring out into the night,
trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
and feeling good don't ever cost a thing,
and the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

I'm going home,
back to the place where I belong,
and where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from,
no, I think you got me all wrong,
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old...

...be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all,
and then some you don't want.

I'm going home.'

"...‘If the Lord would give me wings, I’d fly.’

I used to answer,

‘If God bids me fly, I will trust Him for the wings.’"

reflection

That thing on your body, or in your personality that you are very conscious of, that you don't like... if you found out that someone actually loved that very thing about you, would it change how you felt about yourself?

reveal

A clouded window serves to protect and to guard.
Making it fully transparent is often risky
and downright dangerous at times.

love and hate

...are not that different from each other.
Both can brew and fester if left unchecked
and grow, even subconsciously,
into something that can consume you.
