"JOY"

Jesus first.
Others second.
Yourself last.

humility 101

God doesn't prohibit us from wanting things...
it's when we want things too much when
He steps in and levels us to the ground..."

"Now this is the Law of the Jungle
as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper,
but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk,
the Law runneth forward and back -
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf
and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
- Rudyard Kipling

Dyspnea...
Tachycardia...
Just when she thought
it wasn’t there anymore
It rang and heard the sound of pain
Flashes of light
Fuel and Fire
Shielded herself
She woke up
It stopped...
It ended...
For the meantime...

MAGIC MOMENT

By the River Piedra I sat down and wept.
There is a legend that everything that falls into the waters of the river-
leaves,insects, the feathers of birds-
is transformed into the rocks that make the riverbed.

If only I could tear out my heart and hurl it into the current,
then my pain and longing would be over,
and I could finally forget.

All love stories are the same..

Love perseveres
Its men who change.


-excerpt from "By the River Piedra I sat down and wept.
A novel by Paolo Coelho

Psalm 137

By the rivers of Babylon
there we sat down , yea, we wept
When we remembered Zion
We hung our harps
Upon the willows on the midst of it
For there those who carried us away
captive required of us a song
And those who plundered us required of us mirth,
Saying" Sing us one of the songs of Zion!

How shall we sing the Lord's song
in a foreign land?
If i forget you, O Jerusalem
Let my right hand forget her skill
If i do not remember you
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If i do not exalt Jerusalem
Above my chief Joy

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem
Who said. "Raze it, raze it
To its very foundation

O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed,
Happy shall he be who repays you as you have served us
Happy shall he be who takes and dashes
Your little ones against the rock
