Boxed Excuses

"I'm not scared, just stuck."

Another excuse to remain in the box.

Step out and be the Brilliant YOU that you are.

I Love You.

I need you to Love You as well.

Peace

Gibran on Freedom

The Prophet is such a beautiful book. This passage touched my heart today

"Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
      These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling.
      And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light.
      And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom." -Kahlil Gibran
 -------------------------------------------------------------

Freedom. What is it that I know about freedom other than first or second hand accounts in history books, or the raging protest of my neighbor? What does my soul speak of freedom? Bridled with the cares of this life, I too, search for a pure interpretation of liberty that dispels self made chains. I hunger to breathe without the silent ache in my spirit and behold a weightless joy as I sing its praises on my lips. May the day soon come when I can embrace its hold.

Without a Shadow of a Doubt

"Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape. These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling. And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light. And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom. " ♥

-Kahlil Gibran

Genius Child

"This is a song for the genius child
Sing it softly, for the song is wild
Sing it softly as you ever can-
Lest the song get out of hand.

Nobody loves a genius child.

Can you love an eagle?
Tame or wild?
Can you love an eagle
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child. 

Kill him – and let his soul run wild"
