Drops of Thought

every entrance has an exit
every ending is a beginning
and nothing is truly lost
that is remembered

* * *

we are all worthy of love
but not necessarily deserving

worthiness is determined
by who we are in our hearts
deservedness is determined
by who we are in our actions

* * *

character is not best measured by
how many arrows we can take
and keep going

it is better measured by
how many arrows we can take
and keep growing

* * *

you can’t have it all
but you can have the best of it all

* * *

in nature, water seeks its own level
the same is true with people
how much love we allow into our lives
is equal to our self esteem

* * *

brutality exists in the world
because hatred is easy
and love is difficult.

* * *

anger is a mask for pain
when you peel back the anger
you find the pain

pain is a mask for love
when you peel back the pain
you find the love

love is also a mask
when you peel back the love
you find the divine

* * *

before you came into my life
I knew everything but love

and I know everything but love
now that you are gone

* * *

loving you is easy
wanting you is problematic
having you is dangerous

* * *

everything is possible
when you are open
to the possibility of everything

* * *

So abandoned by her seafaring husband she was
that she took to a geologist
because she like the way
he got his rocks off

* * *

it is the business of government
to protect it's peoples' rights -
it is not the business of government
to tell it's people what is right
