See the Good

We wait for that big event in life when we'll make it,

We wait for things to happen,

We wait to be happy,

Gratitude for the moment is the answer,

Then no waiting is necessary. 

Waking up and feeling fulfilled with the small things and being alive, 

No whinging, no complaints, 

You have your hand, now do your best and don't give up, do not despair,

Despair is the beginning of the end. 

Everything is not easy, 

Do what you can and feel blessed for the good things. 

Put that big event to rest and live your life in contentment, fore that event is a deception, 

It doesn't bring happiness if you are not already happy with what you have,

Do not strive for happiness, 

Strive to be selfless, to overcome, to remain calm. 

Be humble, 

Pray to God and 

See the good. 

There's always hope

People, what are people?

Tools to be used by satanic forces 

Or images on a screen. 

Things that don't keep promises and use you when they want. 

Consumers and abusers, accusers and losers, 

people are rarely interested, rarely genuine, rarely sincere and all they really want is money money money. 

That root is their path, their oath and their creed. 

They are selfish and centred on themselves, they ignore you and see you only when it suits. 

Their looks are more important than their character and their wealth is better than goodness. 

People to me are "detritus" , 

Like my short story was to my teacher all those years ago. 

Like my purposely coffee stained essay was to my lecturer, 

Like I was to those bullies and name callers and narcissists, and criminals, and drug addicts...in my life. 

But, then there's me and my mum, and my brother, 

And my handfull of friends, 

So there's hope, 

Those honest passers by who smile and may say hello, 

Those people who show concern when you are ill,

Those people who look after the sick and comfort the weary,

Genuine people with genuine feelings, 

They are few and far between, but they exist. 

So there's hope. 

There's hope because a man who once walked the Earth, who was there in the beginning and is at the end, had nails hammered into his wrists for us and he did nothing wrong. 

They spat at him, cursed him and ripped into his skin and he did nothing wrong. 

They humiliated, belittled and accused him of doing everything wrong, but he did nothing wrong. 

They will continue until everyone knows the truth of the truth, and only then will they give up and say, I was wrong and that man who once walked the Earth, was right. 

So, open your eyes and soften your heart and feel what you need, 

And be honest with what you need, not what you want. 

There's always hope. 

Adversity

The first test comes as a child,

The teasing and taunting,

The Bullying and abuse,

The difference or ailment that separates you from the others,

It comes as preparation for later life. 

Forget money and forget fame when tortured by life, 

health is true richness and joy. 

You may have everything, but without serenity of mind and wholesomness of body you have nothing. 

Be glad now for what you have, not resentful for what you don't, 

Do what you can with your gifts, fore you are blessed. 

Strive, but do not wish for more, 

Be driven, but be grateful for every moment. 

Appearances mean nothing when at the height of trauma, 

You must hope that what lies inside will pull you through and you get through stronger. 

It might not make sense, 

But those tests of character are put in your path to see which way you go, 

Do you give up, 

Do you not care, 

Do you become bitter and evil, thinking you are entitled to be so, 

Or do you RISE and RESURRECT, empathise and understand, and strengthen. 

Adversity is a test, 

You're either crippled or walking freely, 

Don't be weighed down, 

Hills roll and mountains have valleys, 

Let your heart rise to the test.

The tiny flame 🔥

Within the doomed darkness of the abyss,

Within the deepest caven where only ego and sin exist, 

Within the gloom of loneliness, homelessness and hopelessness, 

There exists only one tiny flame. 

A tiny flame which shines forever and transmits everywhere, 

A flame that guides, answers and saves, 

It guides you in life, 

It answers all questions and all prayers, 

It brings you to your salvation. 

When at a loss, you gain everything, 

When down, you are lifted high, 

When afraid, you are comforted. 

This darkness is pale in comparison to the tiny flame, 

As darkness has no strength, 

It hides and is deceptive, 

The flame shines in your face, 

It tells you what it is, 

It shows you the way to live,

It never gives up on you, 

It wants only the best for you and it is relentless in its guiding love. 

Truth is Truth

You can research or read as much as you want, at the end of the day opinion overrides everything, and so does truth. Whether you agree with science or not, it's an opinion you agree with, scientific fact or not fact, evidence based or not evidence based, you agree with the knowledge you have equired because you agree with it. If nothing has meaning like you have explained, then anything is acceptable and anything is right and correct. Morals to you must be man made, but if we are only animals or even only molecules, it means nothing, so in this meaningless existence how does anyone begin to have purpose in life, or feel the need for purpose if we're only here to procreate then die, and that's the end. To me this scientific belief is sad, empty and untrue. It is also weak and you will find that science people are the weakest, as many people who have these beliefs are not only arrogant, but angry. You might not agree with me, probably you don't, but whether priori or apriori it doesn't matter. Truth is truth, falsehood is falsehood.

They send me out

They send me out to the world today, this backward upside down world, where right is wrong and wrong is right, where men are women and women are men, where evil is good and good is evil, where hatred is the norm and rich is best, where money talks and a kind heart is nothing, but I say I am as I was born and I have the courage and strength to remain the same, I listen and remember only words of encouragement, only words of truth, I listen only to what is truly right, and I will not be told what to think, some things must remain as they ought to be, and a kind heart must be elevated, inner strength must be seen as higher than any other and the spirit inside unchanging and everlasting must be respected, bring back this respect and understanding and I will show you a new world, not an new world order but a peaceful world, as it was in the beginning. 

They send me out to the streets,

I choose not to take a gun or a knife, 

I choose not to join a gang or follow the crowd, 

I choose not to be easily influenced, 

I choose to have my own mind and my own will power, 

I choose not to take drugs and get off my face and out of my head, 

I choose not live there, but to seek help, to avoid the negative and steer myself onto a clearer path, I listen only to good advice, I listen to my conscience, I listen to my faith and know there is always another way. 

They send me out to space,

For a star wars race, to be first on planet Mars or to go to the Moon, 

I refuse to go, as I have my feet firmly on the ground, I'll remain homeward bound, I'll remain fixed on the Earth as it needs my help, 

I do not want to waste my time fulfilling a wasted journey, I admire the universe from afar, It's beauty and it's mystery, I admire the Earth, the waves of thousands of years of change and history. 

They send me out to the wilderness,

I would either leave immediately or be a groundbreaking pioneer, thinking not only outside the box, but unlike anyone before or after, to help people like never before, to save lives, to invent life changing plans, to demolish the worthless causes and to build stable  conditions which continuously adapt, I would not accept a shoddy status quo, they would say there goes that eccentric man, with funny ideas, until one day genius would hit them back in the face. 

They send me out to war,

I'd have the strength to say no, 

They'd force me, but I wouldn't go, 

I do not want to hurt, maim or kill, 

It's not my war, it's not my fight, 

I do not think it's a thrill or that it's right, I'd pray for peace, I'd pray for calm and let the God of Heaven bless the world, hatred brings war and war brings hatred not peace, War instills the wish for revenge and resentment and death and suffering, it's a waste of time that our world likes to buy weapons of war, I say be free and pray happily and sing and dance, we have enough war in our minds, let's celebrate peace, not war, let's celebrate friendship and let's celebrate true love. 

Revenge destroys everyone

Revenge destroys everyone in every way. In order to be creative light must overcome the spirit inside, so that hatred is extinguished and love will flow. Love flows out so that creation can occur.

This can all be seen in creation itself, love expands and attracts the love in others. This is why some cannot explain why though they are cold and dark inside they need the love inside others, others who are truly loving and like to nourish their own, and the souls of others.

People may pretend, but this is why jealousy, anger, hatred, revenge and narcissism and ultimately destruction occur, because of lack of awareness of the self and a lack of empathy. True creation doesn't come out of dark places, unknown places, it doesn't emerge from nothing, from non existence, it comes out of light and true love.

This can be interpreted in many ways, in shallow ways, in abstract way, but the real way, the true way, is through he who was present at the beginning, the light, and the light gave light to the world, and gave life, that we may too have the light, and we too may spread the light so that others shine. In the end there too is the light, this light is everlasting.

So, those whose beliefs stem from revenge have no light, but only falsehood and fakery, and deception.

Beware of those who fear the light. The moon does not overcome darkness, it colludes with the darkness. But the true light overcomes all darkness, all evil and all deception.

Light is good, because light is love. And nothing can conquer true love.

Be victorious in defeat

Be victorious in defeat, not arrogant in winning. Be humble and not fearful, there is always gain in learning. 

Be a Pride of lions, fierce with strength, but don't be proud. 

Be a Bee, not a fly, be attracted to light, not things dark and dead. 

Be a Donkey, hard at work, with a Cross on your back. Head held low and wise. 

Be a source of hope in someone's life,

Be a Guardian Angel, a protector and helper,

Be a warrior and fight for their corner.

Even when frail, be strong inside,

Even when hurt, learn and gain, 

Even when down, never be beat,

Even when insane, overcome and become what you want to be.

This is life, 

Be victorious in defeat and rise again!

Paradise

His home is rest and fulfilment,

His home is faithful power, 

His home is beauty and Truth for the eyes, the mind and the senses. 

At once faith, belief in the unseen, becomes sight and heart, 

Faith is realised in the most magnificent visions, the reality of Glory,

Trees with sweet fruit abundant, 

Flowers so fragrant and pure, 

Both Sparrow and Archangel rejoice with song and breath. 

People gather as friends, 

People love one another, 

Love the most sacred, the most high is everywhere present and filling all things, 

Fore only sacrifice brings love, 

And only Truth realises love, 

And only life everlasting is love, 

My God is love who brings the end to suffering to those who have done good and know him, see him in front of them and love him without question,

Those who did lose, will gain, 

Those who were weak, will be strong, 

Those who were tormented will be free of all torment, and will feel only ease. 

When your sins are forgiven you, 

When all questions are answered, 

When the water poured and fire inside is ignited simultaneously, and the Holy visions are realised with wonderment, and the mystery of miracles are all around, you will see his love in every pore, in every grain, in every drop of water, in everything and everyone, 

Life is a blessing to the faithful, 

Those small vital moments on Earth giving hope and strength to continue, to see the face of God, to live the life he wants you to live, to be free,

Freedom and love entwined, 

Fore one is inseparable from the other, as a bird soars high it sings its song to glorify it's creator, you will become like a bird forever, flying high and singing love. 

The Fisherman

The evening stands still, warm wind flows with a kind whisper. There's no rush. 

He sips a glass of red wine and smokes a cigarette, his only vice.

Looking onto the harbour the Sun sets and only the waves of the ocean are heard. 

He stumps out his last cigarette, it was a hard day. 

Exhaling, he breaths out bitterness and looks to the next day. Only with determination to be with God and God only.

People come and go, good people and bad, they are always far away, distant. Only God is close. The like minded are few and far between, only two or three. God persists and is always there. 

As he reclines onto his chair he rubs his head and then his face, no worries only patience, no worries only courage. He soon sleeps. 

Woken by the toll of a church bell, he stands and looks to the veranda to see the rising sun. A new life he thinks.  

He unties his boat and sets sail. 

Truth

People think their truth is the truth... Unfortunately for those people, they believe in their own opinion, that's what believing in your own truth is.

It's the comfort that draws them to themself. 

To believe in the truth you have to force yourself out of your own opinion, out of the comfort zone and agree with the Truths opinion.. As only The Truth knows what that is. 

It might hurt to agree, it may break your ego, your arrogance, which always hurts, but with this comes humility, that what you think isn't the be all and end all. There is something greater than you. With this comes the ultimate freedom and power. 

Ask yourself this... Are inanimate objects humble? Are things that do not live humble?

Is one person greater than another person?

Should I question the the real Truth?

Should I believe what an arrogant lier tells me?

Also, the truth has no arrogance,

It is beautiful and kind... It is love.

It defends itself... And is most rejected and hated of all, most criticised and scrutinised, but will never fade or go away, it will always be there, it forgives and never destroys, never takes revenge. 

The truth is knowing the beginning, but also the end.

The truth itself knows everything.

If you don't know the truth, then by all means question... But if you do know, then accept it with all your heart.

Don't be a mobile phone 📱

I've noticed this happens alot, 

They'll message and text you, 

But they won't meet eye to eye, and I ask why, bloody hell, why? 

Please don't be a void avoiding human contact, 

Touch the heart with true connection,

Don't be a screen or a button, 

See face to face over coffee or tea, 

Talk, touch and express your stress, 

Talk life, share ideas, even have a pint or three! 

Don't be a mobile phone, 

Covid is no longer a problem, 

Stuff the new norm, 

Be a person, it's much better that way, 

Don't hide, meet people and confide, 

Open your heart in the presence of a friend, 

Problems solved and mind on the mend!

Its a problem in this modern era of technology, 

Confidence goes when you can hide behind a screen, 

An easy get out clause, 

But, just for a second take a heartfelt pause... 

Remember life, remember friendship, remember the spirit of community, 

Remember happy times and true love, 

Things above the electronic gadgetry of instantaneousness... 

Pause and take hold, 

Hug each other, grab hands and look at each other in the eye, 

People aren't that scary or bad, 

And when you take that step forward you'll think wow I'm glad!
