I know you are hurting. what have you said to help people in the past who are hurting. I know you feel beaten down. what have you done throughout your life to help others rise up. I know you are broken. what measures have you taken to motivate those you love to heal when they had lost hope. you are a survivor. you are a fighter. you are a warrior of spirit. you are a healer. you are an inspiration. you are a blessing. be who you are only this time be it not for others but for yourself. I know you are suffering. I also know that you are connected to the universe. every word I have written is a celestial embrace meant to warm your heart and lift your spirit. I am holding you as i write this. you are loved.

you be the good one, you be the nice one, you be the decent one, you be the smart one and you be the compassionate one. these are the things I tell my son every day. I say to him as you make your way through life you will encounter people who make bad choices and do bad things so its important that you be the good one, you be the nice one, you be the decent one, you be the smart one and you be the compassionate one. He is the smartest, kindest and most loving person I know.

be of good heart especially in these difficult times for many are suffering, many are struggling, many are hurting, many are barely holding on and many are dying. be of good mind during this time of crisis for many are confused, many are misguided, many are going in the wrong direction, many are lost, many are disoriented, many are making up their own truths and many are losing control of their faculties. be of good heart and mind for many are in need of a kind word, many are in need of a warm embrace, many are in need of a simple smile, many are in need of some happy news and many are in need of love. be of good heart and mind.

I hear people say how can I complain when there are people dying here and children starving there. there always have been and always will be people who are struggling, suffering and dying. this does not mean your pain doesn't count. trauma is not a competition. torture is not a sporting event. feel not guilt for your hurt for you are deserving of happiness. we put the burden of guilt on ourselves when part of healing is releasing self imposed suffering. you are worthy. you are important and your life matters. compassion for others is beautiful and kindness towards self is a blessing. give yourself permission to hurt, suffer and struggle without guilt and then move forward into the heart of healing and happiness. you are in my thoughts and prayers. you are loved.

I was living on the street. I was lost and suicidal. I had given up on life. Then one day I was in a tattoo parlour looking out the window when I saw these two young women posting flyers on lamp posts. One was a small long haired beauty and the other a statuesque goddess. I called the owner of the parlour over and said go get them and tell them they can hang their flyer in your window. He said I don't know what the flyer is for. I said I don't care - look at them. He ran across the street and brought them back. The poster was for a spoken word event. I said I am a poet and the tall one said we are meeting at a cafe tonight to talk about the event would you like to join us. I did and thus began my road to recovery. The poetry of my path has led me to the light of happiness and bliss.

I had been living on the street and a friend let me sleep in his car in a parking lot downtown. one night I went back to the parking lot and the car was gone. he had left town without telling me. I was standing on the street at one in the morning lost and alone. then a car drove up and a young woman I know asked me if I was okay. I said yes and knowing of my situation she asked where the car was and I told her. she told me to get into her car. she drove to an all night cafe and bought me some food. she stayed with me til morning. we talked of poetry and spirit. it was for me a simple gesture of kindness that restored my faith in humanity. her name is Amy and to this day I am thankful for the blessing she bestowed upon me.

it is scary when you see, hear and experience utter madness that people accept as wisdom and leadership. it is frightening when you are exposed to hatred, anger, lies and manipulation that people take as truth and inspiration. it is heartbreaking when something destructive that is blatantly obvious is viewed by people as a cause to be cherished and celebrated. it is scary, frightening and heartbreaking to watch this happen before our very eyes and know that it will as it has in the past happen again and again and again and again and again and again...

one day I stopped putting up walls, one day I quit getting in my own way , one day I refused to accept that it would never get better and one day I decided to no longer play a major role in my suffering. the next day I connected with my soul, the day after that I opened my heart and let the light in, the day after that I moved into a higher spiritual realm and every day since then I have made the effort to create the life I truly desire which I can happily say I have accomplished.
