Prayer for Protection

The Light of God surrounds me,
The Love of God enfolds me, 
The Power of God protects me,
The Presence of God watches over me, 
And wherever I am, God is.   

Myers Briggs Test

Took the Myers-Briggs personality test; turns out I'm an INFJ...
http://www.personalitytest.net/types/descriptions/index.htm

What this means to me is that I will never escape the pain inflicted by extroverted people; what it means to you? I wouldn't know.
Go take the test and see what you are, it's free.

You know what? Chicken butt!

Justice

Four things support the world; the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valor of the brave. ~Muhammed

Wings

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means if opposites, so you will have two wings to fly, not one. ~ Rumi

Cape Ann
O quick quick quick, quick hear the song-sparrow,
Swamp-sparrow, fox-sparrow, vesper-sparrow
At dawn and dusk. Follow the dance
Of goldfinch at noon. Leave to chance
The Blackburnian warbler, the shy one. Hail
With shrill whistle the note of the quail, the bob-white
Dodging the bay-bush. Follow the feet
Of the walker, the water-thrush. Follow the flight
Of the dancing arrow, the purple martin. Greet
In silence the bullbat. All are delectable. Sweet sweet sweet
But resign this land at the end, resign it
To its true owner, the tough one, the sea gull.
The palaver is finished.

Perfection

"our imperfections are the soft places where compassion is transformed into love."

Apostles Creed

Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
Don't disturb me now, I can see the answers
Til this evening is this morning, life is fine

You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.

City at night!

2 green lights in a row at the tolls, now that's good luck!

Where Art Thou? (How did you get here?)

Driving home last night,

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.

and how people always think they know you, 

You’ve been walking the ocean’s edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry. You must dive naked under, and deeper under, a thousand times deeper!~ Rumi

but they forget they're looking out their own eyes~


To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go. ~Lao Tzu

seeing you through the glass

The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.

~Julia Cameron

of their own making~

They are the chosen ones who have surrendered.
~Rumi

that is scarred with years of resentments,

The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.

~William Booth

fogged with past deep disappointment,

“Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.” – Henri Frederic Amiel

pitted with suspicion,

 I cannot always understand His way, but I am content in the realization that He knows what is best. That is surrender.~Daya Mata

scratched with guilt,

Nothing is needed on your part to be done. Only one thing: a deep trust and surrender. ~Osho

so even if these were the best of times,

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away. ~ Cheap Trick

they wouldn't be able to see it, unless they looked through a fresh lens.

And let the past mistakes, including the ones you think are not known, be water gone, under the bridge. All is already known, and already forgiven. Let it go, let it leave, let it heal, I have. (No wait, you can't know~ except that I do know, I did. I needed to feel life, so I said nothing.) You are not alone in transgression; you walked in while I was screaming, I am accountable as well. It took all I had then, all that was in me, to go and meet you there. And then you crossed my boundaries, and then you acted like I crossed yours~ and then I was incensed. So the flames grow higher, and the fuel that burns is hidden by the glow of the fire itself, and all that is felt is the heat. To understand the intensity, the fuel must be known. ~Sometimes terrible storms are what were needed to cleanse the soul. For Farimir's Sake it doesn't matter, there is not enough time, let's just dance, and feel life, and celebrate magic... I truly believe in you~ lighten up! I wanna go camping and burn stuff! :)

She KNOWS it's a Multi Pass.

Disjointed, Directionless, Rebellious, Oppositional, Wanderer

Cluttered, sure, but that's okay for now, it looks like the inside of my head. There are times in one's life when, after prolonged exigency, one must simply surrender and let all things rest where they land.  

Truth be told I've never stood quite in this place before. Constant Change is getting monotonous, I am grateful for solid ground and predictability under my feet these days. I've been doing the Radical Acceptance thing for a very long time, its something that must be practiced regularly. But I find myself now seeking reliability in the things that keep one grounded. Not blind faith, nor letting go of truth, just somewhere soft and safe to lay my head.  

Prayer of St. Francis by Sarah MacLachlan

Fear...

...would be a good reason to keep quiet, if I were built that way. You would also think it would quell my curiousity, but it does not. I have learned to live with Fear, it has been my companion throughout my whole life, and so I do not hear its warning shout sometimes. Its voice is like a mosquito in my ear. I tend to listen to it only when I shouldn't, perhaps because those are the times when the noise of real danger has receded. I am more comfortable in a room full of wild animals than at a concert or a poetry reading. Maybe I'll figure it out someday. Until then, keep watching, FYE~

Time for a Change

This page is slowly morphing, these posts are beginning to sound like another page I used to know. It might be time to open it back up for business, even if people have forgotten about it. Actually that might be a good thing :)
