Be free... be you!

I love this piece by Chi (chigomezgo Gondwe). She says

I wanna be free to be me before its too late to be....

I relate. Within the boundaries of my beliefs, reason and fundamental human values, why cant I be me? Why must I cower and hide when my being is majestic, strong and capable of so much more....as long I am not afraid to open myself to myself.

For example, I used to think I had to dress a particular way when there is a funky, eclectic and very individual style that is soooo me and sooo fresh(at least I think so!!)

So go ahead and shine... You are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of the most loving, beautiful, creative being ever. Your father in heaven gave you a mind and soul, an imagination and a crative nature. He gave you a healthy curiosity with which to explore the world around you. He gave you soooooo much.

Best of all he gave the ability to love...so go ahead start to love in earnest. Start with accepting and loving yourself.

Lingering Hope

You try one
then you try another
the exhaustion is slowly catching up
the weight of it pulls you down
forcing you to give in..
still you cling.....
waiting, trying, hoping

when a ray of light breaks the monotonous night
your heart leaps and joys caresses your lips
but alas! the elation is short lived
broken....
wounded beyond recognition
licking your wounds you retreat once again...

Yet still you cling to that lingering hope
for love made perfect
