The dark side of ambition

Yes! I offer pearls of wisdom.           Yes! I see things in black and white.

Here we have the nexus of emotion and equilibrium.

Thank you for asking.

The promise of redemption

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Philippians 4:4-9

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

~ Ronald Reagan

Who I Was Born To Be

When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees
And I heard a song in the breeze
It was there, singing out my name

But I'm not a girl
I have known the taste of defeat
And I have finally grown to believe
It will all come around again 

And though I may not
Know the answers
I can finally say I'm free
And if the questions
Led me here, then
I am who I was born to be

And so here am I
Open arms and ready to stand
I've got the world in my hands
And it feels like my turn to fly

And though I may not
Know the answers
I can finally say I'm free
And if the questions
Led me here, then
I am who I was born to be

When I was a child
There were flowers that bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light
Unashamed to have braved the dark

And though I may not
know the answers
I can finally say I am free
And if the questions
led me here,then
I am who I was born to be.

~Audra Mae/Johan Fransson/Tobias Lundgren/Tim Larsson~

The Windhover (To Christ Our Lord)

I CAUGHT this morning morning’s minion, king-
  dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
  Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,         
  As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
  Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing!
 
Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here
  Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion         
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!
 
  No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,
  Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermillion.

 

~~ Gerard Manley Hopkins

So Brief A Thing

So brief a thing is beauty, hold it close,

As closely as your heart would hold a wing

That soon is flown again, unraveling

Its splendor down the lyric way it goes.

Drink sunsets deeply; drink their dregs of rose

That linger in the darkening sky.  A thing

Of beauty is a glory that will sing

Its way into your soul.  Your blood that flows

Will quicken into music in your veins.

Look long upon all beauty that you see --

Hushed lavender of lilacs and a tree

Armored in sudden silver of the rains.

Hold beauty closely; never let it go

Till eyes are blind and lips are pale as snow.

THIS

This
Blessed throbbing redundancy
Faintly cautious harmony
And steamy cant of sloe eyes
Softening a fierce and instant aura
This
Relevant incendiary modernity
Unfragile ageless mien
And curving lyric of a lip
Lush and precious real estate
This
Is and ever will be you

Life

A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh but the moans come double;
And that is life!

A crust and a corner that love makes precious,
With a smile to warm and tears to refresh us;
And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,
And a moan is the greatest of foils for laughter;
And that is life!

~Paul Laurence Dunbar
