Lao Tzu is rad

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Rejoice in the way things are.When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.
The words of truth are always paradoxical.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful.
Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

Lao Tzu ( also Lao Tse) was a mystic philosopher of ancient China, and best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching.

Free Your Mind

The energy of me is of that which is free,
Some might say I am kind of gutsy

I am free in my heart and free in my speech,
Freedom from my mind is almost at reach

As I grow, so do you, for we are all one
I could live in my sins, but they can't be undone

To forgive myself for being me is what I am learning instead,
If I focus on my flaws, I forget about the love I can spread

Spreading that love is what I came here to do,
If I see the divine in myself, I can see it in you too.

So I will start with being kind to my own growing mind,
A small step for me, a giant leap for mankind.

I thought the words were everyone else,
Until I heard the voice inside myself

The more I look, the more I find
All I crave is peace of mind

From the thoughts I think, to the words I say
I could leave or I could stay

I want to grow, I want to learn
but these demons are at every turn

I have no choice but to move ahead,
but the very thought makes me feel dead

The life I live is all I know,
I feel I have so far to go.

But something burns inside of me,
the part that remembers what it was to be free

For I have felt it once before,
I was born like that I'm sure.

-Sara Amanda Martin

I speak Haiku these days

Shooting Stars, Spaceships
At night is when I see you.
Oh! I love the night!
              

Alone with my thoughts
I dream about the future
How bright eyed I am.


Life can be easy
Sometimes we choose to struggle,
Just to have free will.


If I'm not careful
I could go inside myself
'till the end of time.


FUCK! He yells loudly.
His team shit the bed again.
Dad, you crack me up!

Freedom

Freedom! You askin me about freedom. Askin me about freedom?
I'll be honest with you. I know a whole more about what freedom isn't
than about what it is, cause I've never been free.
I can only share my vision with you of the future, about what freedom is.
The way I see it, 


Freedom is-- is the right to grow, is the right to
blossom.
Freedom is -is the right to be yourself, to be who you are,
to be who you wanna be, to do what you wanna do.
