“Love is a basic need, as basic as freedom; so both have to be fulfilled. And, a man who is full of Love & Free is the most beautiful phenomenon in the world.”

Self-respect
Self-respect is often mistaken for arrogance when in reality it is the opposite. When we can recognize all our good qualities as well as or faults with neutrality, we can start to appreciate ourselves as we would a dear friend and experience the comfortable inner glow of respect. To embrace the journey towards our full potential we need to become our own loving teacher and coach. Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings we develop true regard for ourselves and our life will become sacred.
Awareness
This mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living - at the minimum. You dont live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim. Once you start dropping thoughts, the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke. That is what awareness is.

Looking at a sunset, just for a second you forget your separateness: you are the sunset. That is the moment when you feel the beauty of it. But the moment you say that it is a beautiful sunset, you are no longer feeling it; you have come back to your separate, enclosed entity of the ego. Now the mind is speaking. And this is one of the mysteries, that the mind can speak, and knows nothing; and the heart knows everything, and cannot speak. Perhaps to know too much makes it difficult to speak; the mind knows so little, it is possible for it to speak.

I Love you...

How do you see yourself?
Don’t worry about what the world sees when it looks at you. How do you see yourself?
The picture they paint of you makes no difference. Discover for yourself where you want to be, what you want to do, who you are when the voices outside of you are silenced. It is only then, when we become detached from others’ forecasts and opinions of our life, that we can truly be content with who we are as an individual, as a lover, as an artist, as a human being, reveling in our very own unconventional world.

The music inside
love in its purest form
i love you,
not only for what you are
but for what i am
when i am with you.
i love you,
not only for what
you have made of yourself
but for what
you are making of me.
i love you,
for the part of me
that you bring out;
i love you,
for putting your hand
into my heaped-up heart
and passing over
all the foolish, weak things
that you can’t help
dimly seeing there,
and for drawing out
into the light
all the beautiful belongings
that no one else had looked
quite far enough to find.
i love you because you
are helping me to make
of the lumber of my life
not a tavern
but a temple;
out of works
of my every day
not a reproach
not only for what you are
but for what i am
when i am with you.
i love you,
not only for what
you have made of yourself
but for what
you are making of me.
i love you,

i love you because you
are helping me to make
of the lumber of my life
not a tavern
but a temple;
out of works
of my every day
not a reproach
but a song.

My thoughts
I dismiss all my thoughts. They drift in the sky like small white clouds, not knowing where they are going to, but still full of confidence. I am calm and relaxed. Perfect peace prevails in my heart and my mind. I am in harmony with the world. Harmony flows through my whole Self. It is good that it is so.

Friend...
Our friendship is soothing,
Like a warm gentle breeze,
A soft gentle rustle
Thru the leaves of the trees...
Our friendship can bloom,
Like a beautiful spring day,
Yours and mine did,
In such a beautiful way...
Our friendship brings rainbows
After the storm.
It appears in the winter
To keep our hearts warm...
Our friendship withstands hardships,
As the winter wind blows,
Like a candle in the window
With its warm soft glow.
Like a warm gentle breeze,
A soft gentle rustle
Thru the leaves of the trees...
Our friendship can bloom,
Like a beautiful spring day,
Yours and mine did,
In such a beautiful way...

After the storm.
It appears in the winter
To keep our hearts warm...
Our friendship withstands hardships,
As the winter wind blows,
Like a candle in the window
With its warm soft glow.

Take Me To A Dream
Take me to a dream
That I never dreamed of,
To a place so beautiful
That we can stay for eternity,
A dream that seems to be
More real than real life
A dream of no problems or worries.
That I never dreamed of,
To a place so beautiful
That we can stay for eternity,
A dream that seems to be
More real than real life
A dream of no problems or worries.
Take me to a dream
A place for just the two of us,
Where we can express our inner
most thoughts, feelings, and emotions,
To a beautiful land where nobody
Is there but just the two of us.
A place for just the two of us,
Where we can express our inner
most thoughts, feelings, and emotions,
To a beautiful land where nobody
Is there but just the two of us.
Take me to a dream
A dream where I can have fun,
Where I am not being fused or abused at
Controlled or being yelled at,
To a beautiful place that I can lay at
In peace where I can think at,
Where I will have no worries
and do nothing but dream.
Take me to a dream....
A dream where I can have fun,
Where I am not being fused or abused at
Controlled or being yelled at,
To a beautiful place that I can lay at
In peace where I can think at,
Where I will have no worries
and do nothing but dream.
Take me to a dream....

The Magic Of Love
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!
Love is

A smile
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home.
The world always looks brighter from behind a smile.
Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
A smile is a curved line that sets everything straight.
I've learned
I've learned-
That you cannot make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned-
That it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. That it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned -
That you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you better know something. That you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do. That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned-
That you can keep going long after you can't. That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I've learned-
That either you control your attitude or it controls you. That regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is a first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
I've learned-
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I've learned-
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you are down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I've learned-
That sometimes when I get angry I have the right to be angry, but it doesn't give me the right to be cruel. That true friendship continues to grow over the longest distance, and the same goes for true love.
I've learned-
That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned-
That you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what tragedy it would be if they believed it. That no matter how good your friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned-
That it isn't always good enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you must learn to forgive yourself. That no matter how bad a heart is broken; the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned-
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for whom we become. That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean that they don't love each other, and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned-
That we don't have to change friends, if we understand that friends change. That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I've learned-
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I've learned-
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
¢¾that the people you care about the most in life are taken from you too soon ¢¾
I've learned-
That it¡¯s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting someone¡¯s feelings or standing up for what you believe. That no matter what happens to me on earth or how much my faith falters, God's faith in me never dwindles or fails.
I've learned-
That life's lessons never end and wisdom can always be passed on.
That you cannot make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.

Love: Friendship Never Ends
The video below recaptures the story of two who adopted/rescued a lion cub from it’s cramped cage, raised it lovingly, then released it back into the wild. What is amazing is that no matter how life changed, the heart remembered love no matter how long it had been, how far apart they were or are, and transcended all logic and reason.
“Love and closeness have nothing to do with geography. No matter how far away you are, roots go with you.”
- Henriette Anne Klauser, Put Your Heart On Paper

I WISH FOR YOU
COMFORT ON DIFFICULT DAYS,
SMILES WHEN SADNESS INTRUDES,
RAINBOWS TO FOLLOW THE CLOUDS,
LAUGHTER TO KISS YOUR LIPS,
SUNSETS TO WARM YOUR HEART
GENTLE HUGS WHEN SPIRITS SAG,
FRIENDSHIPS TO BRIGHTEN YOUR BEING,
BEAUTY FOR YOUR EYES TO SEE,
CONFIDENCE FOR WHEN YOU DOUBT,
FAITH SO THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE,
COURAGE TO KNOW YOURSELF,
PATIENCE TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH,
AND LOVE TO COMPLETE YOUR LIFE.
