I Dig Your Soul

Ready, Set, Love

pjbosc — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 23:02:13 +0000

The first rule of love is

Not to forget is exists

We try so hard to find it

We over look it and then laugh later about how it was there all the time

The second rule of love

Is to enjoy it

Love doesn’t get you down

It guides you

Love tells you who you are

When you choose someone to love

There is always always something in them that is in you

Or you couldn’t see it in them

So when you meet people and you are attracted to them

Know it is the similarities that you both have that you could see

And you can only love another as much as you love yourself

And you can only allow another to love you as much as you love you

So if your love doesn’t go too deep

Then don’t expect a relationship to

We expect so much from love

When we don’t know what to ask of it

As though it should know for us

And then lead us to bliss

Love is as active as you are

As slow as you are

As honest as you are

As forthright as you are

Love is always here

Available and ready

Until you tell it what to do,

Where to go

Who to share you with

So the next time you find yourself

All excited and happy

Don’t wait for love to tell you what to do

It is waiting for you

To steer it and bring you to who you are

Love is so simple that it scares me to realize

How little we know of it after all of this time

I still wait for it to notice me

But really it was just how little we know of ourselves

To notice it’s waiting at the gate!

Meat and Potatoes

pjbosc — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 18:53:49 +0000

What you have in common is your key

What you do not is your acceptance

And what you like or do not like is your tolerance

And what you are not knowing of yet is your growth

Anyone can have sex, however can anyone have a relationship

A partnership

We all know how to meet

Yet do we all know how to stay

How to stand still in compromise when things do not go our way

When we are scared to have the love of another

And we want to run away just because we do not know what else to do

A relationship is our growing ground

And in the best case scenario

In safety

To grow and still be loved

It is a very hard thing to do when you are in argument

and then rekindle the parts where we like being vulnerable

And we open ourselves to loving in the freedom of how see love

rather than what love is supposed to look like

We can decide that, we can choose to stay and fight

Fight for an us

For a place to stay

for what love can mean if we let it

It is our acceptance of us,

Of each of us

And then the bigger us

It is the compromise that we miss when we are alone

And the promise we feel when we are together

Our lives are meant for many things

And one big one is getting along

With ourselves

And then with others

That is both the meat and the potatoes

It is the meal

It is the balance

It is not having to choose one or the other

It is living in love as you know it, learn it, breath it, look for it and become it

Our love already exists in us

Postponing it because we are waiting for lightning to strike

Rather than a partnership

A look rather than a person

Stuff instead of love first

Then we have found every way around love and not in it

In it, as we find over time is the only way to go

And we would give everything to know it

So know it

We would give everything to meet someone

So let yourself

Without judgment

Warmth does not have a look

Truth does not have a price tag

And love does not have one definition

Fill your plate

With all your thoughts in real life

And real life exceeding your dreams

That is when you know you found life in life

And life in heart

Warmth in soul

And balance that extends itself to your home, your relationships, your work

Wake Up Love

pjbosc — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:07:04 +0000

The Love we need now

Is love that is unspoken

We feel so energized when we are noticed

Not the attentions that you would think

Like the big awards or the new things we can have

It is in the conversations, where both people can look each other in the eye

It is in the meals shared, that were prepared together and eaten together

It is in the leftovers that you cannot wait to eat

Unopened Gifts

pjbosc — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 23:21:50 +0000

Finally a day to say

To remind ourselves

To remember

To speak out loud

How do I forgive myself

That is one unopened gift

How do I have compassion for myself

Yet another unopened gift

We speak in life, I have been able to forgive….another

I can now go on

Yet what is forgiveness?

How do you forgive yourself?

To forgive is to say I have not learned

Compassion will speak that you have learned

You see, it is not about forgiveness at all

Forgiveness says that you will overlook and get over something that hurt you

Whether you did it to yourself or to someone else

It is to say, that you have not learned the lesson so you will forgive the action

And then what?

Do you just go on forgiving forever and not going further as to why you are doing it or allowing someone else to do it to you?

Compassion to yourself, to others, to say, Yes, this happened, whatever it is, and we will learn from it

Compassion to understand the motives, the reasons and to say, I understand why you did this

Is there another way to get what you need

Without hurting yourself or others

In teaching children

There are three rules of discipline to follow

Don’t hurt yourself

Don’t hurt others

Don’t damage or destroy property

That is truth for all of us

If we don’t hurt ourselves, we actually do not have a need to hurt others

Damaging or destroying property is usually a byproduct of being hurt

When we forgive ourselves or others we are acknowledging we are hurt or hurt another

Compassion is the step after, we can’t just stop at forgiving

Compassion reminds us of the human part, the part where we gain self understanding and love

With words like

I know you didn’t mean that

I know you are hurt already

I can see now your intentions are good for me, or maybe they are not

Is this a safe place for me to grow

Or is this teaching me this is not the place for me to stay and learn of life

Forgiveness is like a power play or relief button

Compassion finds a soulution, and landing place, a mutual caring for what results in what has happened

Compassion is the way to get past anyone having to forgive anything

It is the place where we learn why, not just what

Where we see motivation rather than action only

Where we grow within ourselves, then someone else

Self accounting, self love, growth

It all starts in the solutions, not in the answers

Anyone can say yes or no

Yet the parts that say why are the growths

The parts that say why are the teachers

The moments of discovering are when you can go on and live past those moments

There is a vast difference between forgiveness and compassion

Compassion teaches love and forgiveness gives power to someone to grant it

Compassion soothes and grows and forgiveness is saying, I have forgiven you so many times, now what?

The crutches of living in doing and forgiving

Rather than speaking and learning

Breaks the cycle of not paying attention to yourself with excuses

And brings back the questions you had as a child

Why, is one of the greatest questions any child asks and doesn’t stop until they find out

It is their happiness so that they can go out and play

They already understand that full disclosure is their freedom

Quietly as we “look” so much smarter than them

Look again, there is still an unopened gift under your tree

It is called Self Love

What A Spoon Can Tell You

pjbosc — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:34:19 +0000

When you walk past the sink, and it is clean

Are you the person who drops the spoon in

Or are you the one that walks by and cleans it

Do you only wash it if someone else is there

or do you leave it for someone else to take on your work

Are we really getting away with anything when we try not to do something

We try so hard to get out of this, get out of that

It is the truth as it is

You either do or you don’t

Some wait until the sink is full

And others wash and dry as they go

Some keep the Oh I have to do this, to do that, before I can relax

When cleaning up as you go along

Cleans up your mind as you think along, speak to another, or even watch a program on TV

That spoon really tells its own story

Do you hold onto your stuff

Do you let it go

Do you take things on right off

Or do you wait until you have piled up so much stuff inside

And you keep waiting for the day to clean it all up at once

Do you just eat your best everyday

Or are you the one who will diet tomorrow and eat everything in sight today?

Are you a planner or does everything all of a sudden happen to you?

Each of these types of people, they are all of us

Trying to say one thing when we are another is our biggest bluff

And the blaming of others, for who we are, has also been the bigger bluff

Once you clean up as you go along

You are just telling yourself the truth as you live your life

and those who threw it in and walk right by it

Are the pilers of everything else

They will not tell you first off what they actually mean

And they will only come clean when they are caught

And maybe not even then

Start washing the spoon in the clean sink

And you will find, you start finishing all the little things that start to take on weight much sooner

When you walk by, stop yourself and remind yourself it is your job too

No using others for you

and you will stop running from tasks and either decide to do them or not

Honesty isn’t so far away

It is as simple as a dirty spoon, you either clean it or you don’t

Love isn’t so far away

You either share it or you don’t

Truth is always around

And Purity is the cleanliness of your soul

Clean the spoon, Clear your mind, and go on to the next thing

Clutter is man made, not a natural part of us

Clean purifies as you cleanse

Cleansing is the weightlessness of our days, our thoughts, and how we are with others

Anything else is the delaying of our self love, until we finish all our tasks that we walk by

Would You Know You?

pjbosc — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 18:36:13 +0000

Who would you be if no one you now know knew you?

What would you say about yourself?

What would you start with?

What would you say your hobby is?

What work you do?

How much you love it?

What it means to you, to your life to do what you do?

How could you see your intentions when you feel like you will die if things don’t go your way?

How flexible are you to change of heart, of mind, when you are challenged?

Do you know who you are with Money and without it?

Are you generous when you are happy?

Are you mean when you are mad?

Do you think about the other persons point of view when you are in a disagreement?

Do you go out of your way to say thank you when you are thankful?

Is expressing yourself in times of argument easy for you?

When someone speaks to you, and tells you an observation of you

Do you get defensive or do you consider that they spoke this to you for good reason?

When you speak to someone, do you consider how you would respond to be spoken to in the same way?

These are a lot of questions

Questions of self definition

Of who you are inside and what it looks like on the outside

People are not blind, and never are we within ourselves

Sometimes it is just a matter of answering your own questions, that reminds you of who you are

Where you are when it comes to dealing with yourself, your life, and if you are just passing time

Or using time to grow your soul, in your truth, without trying to be something you are not yet ready to be

Or standing still too long before you act and then feeling like you can not catch up

Define yourself and you will see better what you are looking for

Wanting that comes from heart, rather than all the other reasons that leave us feeling unfulfilled

Trust in your ability to answer such questions

And Trust the rest will come as you go along

There is not ever only one answer

Yet only one answer will lead you to the rest

Who would you be if no one you now know knew you?

Tell yourself out loud as though you were speaking to another

Hear your words and find your truth in them

It is already there, waiting for you to notice

It is simply time to take on more of you

We always know when

It is just that we can’t start anything

Without actually starting

Start with the questions and your mind will do the rest

All you need to do is plant the seed

Imagine meeting you

Would you know you?

The Music Of Love

pjbosc — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:44:05 +0000

One day we wake up singing

A song to a happy tune

Without a prompt or a reason

Without music or noise

Only the excitement of seeing you

Today we are getting married

Saying Yes to each other

without further ado

Love is the trail we followed

Learned each other in safety and grew

Let our ugly find itself, showed it to you

You said, Hey that’s OK

I am still here for you

I learned me through you

You told me the truth

You speak to me, it is not only you

It is you and me, and we are two

There is strength in numbers

When the two are in truth

Someone to say to you

this works for me too

Love is not a show

or does it come with a map

Love’s design is to teach us

And build life without holes, without traps

It is a place of safety

To speak that I am still OK

Even when I don’t feel like it

Even when I am too tired to see my way

One of us is always leading

Learned partnership that way

Each day is an open conversation

Of all we can share and build, a story page by page

Nothing comes all at once

It would leave us dry and bored

Love comes in surprises

Of all we thought it could not be

Love is the surprise of our souls

When it show me, me

The more I can see of me

The more I find in you

The treasures of us as people

And adding the love in there too

Thank you for saying

when you do this it hurts me

It made me see you

and you taught me to care

As you show me how you care for you

I have learned to care for me

I find that the more I learn

I more I understand you

The greater my challenges

that eliminate the feelings of something I can not say

You opened the door of my soul

With your openness to me

You teach me to be

Without trying to be better than me

I realize there is nothing you could want

Other than to tell me the truth

I realize there is nothing I can give

Other than my purity to you

Love is invisible

Yet it is felt in its strength

It is the bond we can not see

Yet the bond of everyday

Love is not a person, a place or a thing

Love is my emotion, that I bring to each day

Love is my compass of where I go, and where I stay

Love is the open ended answer

As many questions as it presents

It is those very questions

Whose answers are fought for

And learned of

That teaches my soul

Its one main purpose

To love, honor, and live

In today, in the present

I stand before myself in completeness

As I see it in you

No fear in growing further

No lines drawn in the sand

No more saying what if….

It is here that I stand

I stand for us

The “us” we have become

The world that we built

With those that we love

The house that we fill

With our everyday of thoughts

The home that we carry

Everywhere we go

Love is not physical

You have taught me

Thank you, my love

My love’s freedom

That I have come to see

Thank you, my love

We are an “us”

And still a “you” and a “me”

A Bottle of Hope

pjbosc — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 19:12:47 +0000

What does it look like when we have hope

We walk faster

We talk more

We involve others

We try new things

We wear different colors

And we insist on trying until we succeed

We sing to songs

We listen to others

It is not so important that we are “right”

We need less sleep

We don’t over eat

We exercise

And we say good morning

We listen to “happy” music

We dance while we are walking

We see someone who is having a bad day and we say we are sorry

We help someone who needs it

And we accept help when we need it

Hope is the promise of our souls capacity

Hope is the reason we remember why we are alive

Hope is the person who reminds us

That Hope is always nearby

Hope reminds us that love is available

As hope is the purpose of our actions

Whatever it is that we hope for,

We are in hope when we feel promise

Promise of ourselves in our highest honor

Honor of actions and what they may mean

Hope is the rainbow after the rain

The cool drink on a hot day

The right words as you needed them

The smell of something baking while you are asleep

The bath where you actually sit in the water

The moment you walk by someone you haven’t seen in years

The check that comes in the mail you didn’t expect it

The willingness to understand if something doesn’t work out

Hope is the basis, the reason

That we have an incentive to grow on

To say I’ll try

To change directions

And to know ourselves well enough to say no when we are stretching ourselves too thin

Hope is not being scared when the check is not in the mail

Someone we thought was right for us isn’t and we understand why

And the love of self enough to know all of these things are simply a part of life

Hope is alive as we are alive

Hope is the possibilities of our hearts

Given a forum to test, push and pull the best of ourselves

And find the depth in which we can be

Bring Me A Higher Love

pjbosc — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:29:32 +0000

Your higher self is talking

And you speak to it that it is not possible

That you are not good enough or strong enough to be that person

Your higher self tells you you are that person

And you should at the very least try

That you have nothing to lose

That even an embarrassing moment is a story of truth to speak about in love

Your higher self is you without boundaries and limits

That only you can put in and only you can release

Your higher self is your capability

Your ability

Neither of which know the word NO

Imagine if the word NO did not exist

Boy would the freedom of our souls be happy!

There would be no answer that can not be had

There would be a way to find to do almost anything you thought of

Capability just means to know

Ability means to try

To know and To try

To see if it is yours to grow more with

Or to let it take you to something else

Your higher self is your purpose

Not broken down into smaller parts,

It is the sum of the smaller parts that build you up to it

It is a higher love to see your higher self

And a soul that says I will because I can and I can because I will

Anything less than that is because you really don’t want it yet

I say yet, because the day will come to you

That you can see yourself do it

And it will find a path, an avenue or a bridge

To take you there

Think Love Create Love

pjbosc — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 22:17:30 +0000

As Love starts to teach you

Who you are

When you think of sharing your home, your heart, your family

It tells you the best of you

As you present it all new

To a person that you feel love to

In a way that you always do

Love is not fantasy

Nor is it reality

Love is between both

That is the excitement of it all

When you think of love

Do you notice how you are in the best thoughts of who you are?

Some of us wait for new love to feel such open feelings towards ourselves

As though it is the only way we can feel it

Getting to the truth of things, you can feel this on your own

You see, love is love is love

There isn’t one kind of love

Love is so open, it is in everything

That feeling of presenting your life to someone new

It is already present

As you build your life with love for yourself

That love, that excitement, that truth of you put out there

It gets to be present

And when it is present

It attracts those who are of love in that way too

Who understand that Love is love is love

That Love is a part of their every day

That anyone who comes to them leaves with love

That the more complete they already are

The more complete those that are attracted to them are

Everyone is attracted to a person who is already love

Already happy

Young children

Elders

Pets

And all other people

You start wondering what is different about you

And it is the new feeling of love, all the time

The belief that you are capable to have love

Simply to know it enough to feel it in heart

To live it in form

To stand within yourself

And understand it is a state of mind

And acceptance of heart

And lost ego to humble truths

That love is for all of us, even you

No one left out

Knowing Love doesn’t replace challenge

It just makes it easier

That love gives answers that anger or feeling lacks of love can not see

Love is the freedom

Of your thinking and the compassion of your heart unto yourself

It is the opening of giving yourself a break

And the Love that comes with that knowing that you are OK

Even you, seems so far away at time

Love doesn’t know the words, even you, even me, No to this or that

Love finds a way to say Yes

Yes to life, Yes to sharing, Yes to understanding

That love is simply life when it is understood and happy

Love is that smile you can’t help

And the truth of why we are here

To learn to let go

Enough to open your heart

To follow the flow

Of love in life

That isn’t meant to let go of even you!

The Space Between You and You

pjbosc — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:31:05 +0000

Believe in yourself

And don’t allow yourself not to

Speak your truth

And don’t allow yourself to judge you

Wear what you love

And don’t allow yourself to take away the joy of it

Say you can when you think you can’t

Do what you say you would never be able to

And try foods that aren’t “you”

Go to a movie alone

And buy yourself some popcorn

Treat yourself to a walk

Listen to music that isn’t music you would normally listen to

And you will start seeing that you can adapt

That you can take in and enjoy what is new

That you too can be new

We think our job is to stay who we are

Be who we are

Act like who we are

And whoever said how, what or who we are means?

We are who we think we are, that is who

We are the person who can try things, leave things that aren’t right for us

And build things from simple thoughts in our heads

Believing in ourselves starts with the thoughts of our hearts being acknowledged

And then acted on

And then expanding out of our comfort zone

We are meant to be a little uncomfortable at times,

otherwise we have no stresses to move us along

And we are meant to not be too uncomfortable for then we know what is not right for us

We always know what we believe,

yet we need to trust what we know

and then we can see

That belief is not a trick or for someone else,

Belief is available

And once you believe one thing,

It is so much easier to find other things to believe in

It is the growth of your soul, one step at a time

One moment to another

One decision to do so at a time

How silly it is to say no

When the fight inside wants to say yes

Let the walls of very hard years of keeping them there

know they are on notice

Put your heart on notice

That you will be taking on the walls

and walking around them

We don’t have to wait for a good day

To say we are going to try anything

Today is a moment that you can look in the eye

And say in this moment I want to do something about what I have been thinking

And just see what happens

Believing in yourself doesn’t come easy

Nor cheap at times,

But believing in yourself does bring on an inner glow

One that stands over you, guides you,

When you start to give up or forget why you are trying

Believing in yourself

Leaves the excuses behind

Your Soul Is Not Your Body

pjbosc — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 19:19:10 +0000

We are trying to tell the world that our body is our soul

We found ways to fill our bodies

Change our bodies

Keep our bodies from aging

Dressing younger or older depending on what we are trying to accomplish

And then if someone is disabled we think they are less or need more help than us

And if they are sick we get scared because it could be us

And if they are dressed ‘better’ than us we actually think they are ’smarter’ than us

And a bigger house only reminds us that we are not as ’successful’

Yet, I am writing this and if you didn’t know me, you wouldn’t know anything about me

All you would hear are my words,

You would feel my feelings for a moment of your life

You would share the love I feel in writing this, as I am writing it

Love doesn’t look like anyone

Love isn’t meant only for some

Love isn’t meant to be looked for

Or “learned” how to be

Love is open and free

Love doesn’t have eyes or ears

Love only has feelings and instinct

Love protects all that comes our way

When we know enough about its freedom to let it

I found by writing that my soul is not my body

My heart is my soul

My body is just the way I get around

And everyone else too

Your body is the car of your soul

It takes your intentions, your thoughts, and it drives them into action

Your body will do anything your soul will ask of it

But your soul can not do anything your body asks of it

I remember most, that I always remember, what it felt like when I left someone

More than what we looked like or where we were

We leave with the emotions

That is why at times when we are not dressed and our guard is down,

Those days, they seem to be the best days we have

We are exempt from the race to be anything

Did you notice you are least shy when you are most open?

We can take a lesson from those of us whose bodies can not do what we do,

And still they are happy

Their secret is the truth of their soul’s exposed

And we too, can learn

To let the body be a part of us and include our soul

It does not have to be one or the other, we simply can understand our purpose better

When we let the truth of us show itself, rather than expecting our love from the outside in

No one can ever walk away from an open heart

Truth is a magnet for its strength

And truth wears no masks!

Nevermind Why, Simply Do What Is Right

pjbosc — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 20:30:36 +0000

To purchase your copy of the newly released book, “Origins of Truth” by Nadia Khalil Bradley, please visit her website at http://www.originsoftruth.com

It doesn’t take explanation to do what is right

To do what makes things better

To say what needs to be said

Either side of the coin

When things are tough, tell the truth

When things are not, tell the truth

There is no sense in creating stories to make things seem more exciting

The excitement is in how much you love it, telling it that way

And giving someone else a chance to live it with you too

We always think everything has to be bigger, better or worth hearing

That we have to have a punchline or a reason for saying something

It is so much simpler than that

Tell the truth from your heart

And your heart will do the rest

When there is a moment where telling the truth

Is something you do not want to do

It has nothing to do with the other person at all

Ask yourself, why is it that you feel like you can not?

Why is your safety an issue?

Is your self esteem unable to accommodate truth?

Is lying something you want to carry around?

Do you want to create distance between you and the other person?

Do you not have respect for yourself enough to simply speak and grow on?

Do you prefer the dramas of lying that cause you to not trust others?

Most who do not tell the truth

Think others are lying

Are the ones who accuse others of doing things, being things they are not

Do not like to discuss details

Nor do they enjoy the fruits of self accountability

They are the ones who fear their positions

Their posts in life

That their charminess will wear out

That their cover will be blown

That maybe they are a fraud altogether

They will claim to have everything under control,

As if they had to

They will tell you how great they are

As if you needed to hear that

When someone speaks with their heart

they even allow for those who don’t

Time to speak, and hear themselves talk

Simply because they already believe they will speak from the heart

And when they find out that is not what is happening

They start feeling used, without words or actions yet

As time passes and you are in a relationship

You start to realize that the other person doesn’t pay attention to you the way you do to them

That when THEY are happy you are OK, when THEY are NOT, you are in Trouble

The balance shifts to their moods and the one with heart accommodating the one who speaks in exaggerations of truth and you are left realizing that maybe you have chosen a person who lives in the illusions of their truth and it all is not so real

Getting to know another person is for these reasons alone

Is this a person you can depend on

Does this person bring you peace and joy

Warmth or comfort

Or are you more fractured with them and more whole without them

A job, a friend, a partner, a spouse

All the souls who find their way to us

Teach us who we are by what we do not accept from them

They Hone us into speaking up

Fighting for our own souls

Making our way without questions as to what is right or wrong,

however, what we are RIPE enough to learn

We can only learn what we are ready for

And others may serve as a catalyst for such learning’s

Or there may be a soul we are meant to share much more of ourselves with and life with

We try to make everything “forever”

yet there is no time

There is a bigger picture

And some things are meant to teach us for a moment

And others are meant to carry us for a lifetime

Accept life for the challenges it gives you

And you will see that life will always have a challenge for you

It will always always remain and be

Your level of understanding

And your willingness to learn that will carry you

Once you can see that

The turmoil’s of what to do, how to be, what to say, and what not to say are already answered

Our energy proceeds us

And we speak without speaking words

Trust in the bigger picture of our purpose can carry you through the moments of indecision

Clairty of your purpose

Knowledge of your soul

Understanding that you are not meant to be everywhere at once

Gives you the basis and understanding that you WANT to be where you at least choose to be

And the places you choose to be will allow you to experience them whole

Choose Love

Walk away from those who let you down

Walk away from those who do not care that they hurt your feelings

Walk away from those who set you up

From those you know will talk about you if you mess up

Learn to walk away, rather than prove anyone wrong

It only takes your energy into the black hole they have created for you to fall within

You are allowed to say NO

You are allowed to find Love

You are allowed to find peace

You are entitled to enjoy your time

We forget that we can say NO

To what hurts our energy and takes away our speed

That which reminds us of failure rather than our hearts success

We are all as successful as we see ourselves

We are all as weak as we believe others will speak of us

We must remember that those that talk about us

are only doing so from their own weakness and their desire to weaken others with them

So that they will not be alone in the below the radar behaviors they take on

To caste worry, fear and doubt to anothers soul

We must take part in our hearts desire to take care of ourselves

By allowing what we love to enter our thoughts rather than just the one person who keeps finding a way to challenge it

Your challenge is to challenge that energy and realize that anyone who can take you away from you, you need to take yourself away from

You can attempt, however learn from your attempts

And learn that you can run, not walk away, when you begin to understand you are depleting rather than building

That you are not of true benefit to this soul, nor are they to you

That you can learn from each other at a distance

Rather than the closeness that has come to rob you both of yourselves

Love gives

When giving is not present neither is love

Choose Love

And Love will find a way for you

Love is the can opener of every can you have stored in your cabinet

Some have been there for years

Go back and let them open and those that have expired

Accept that they have and go on

That is one of the paths of self love that opens you up to less storage and greater freedom of your soul

Choose your Soul

And there you will find your true movement

Your content

And your willingness to go forward

Blueprint for Life

pjbosc — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 16:28:31 +0000

What we need:

We need a political party that represents both the poor and the rich

We need credit cards that are not designed to keep you in debt

We need mortgages that are simple and clear and no fine print

I am thinking no fine print on the credit cards either

We need less pressure to have more work in a day

And more pressure to balance time to work, sleep, eat, and sit with your family

We need more pressures to complete tasks without so many steps

Be able to have a doctor to go to

Buy all the food that we need

Go to a Library to read

We need more pressure to build our neighborhoods,

Know our neighbors

Say Hello with nothing more to say

We need moments to catch up and rejuvenate

Leaders that we can depend on

Jobs we can grow in

Homes we can keep forever if we want to

We need streets that we all keep clean

Area’s our children can play in without fear within the parent or the child

Homes that aren’t behind iron gates

We need water we can drink

Streets without litter

People not living on streets

Care for those who can not care for themselves

We need to stop the blame

That someone who isn’t ahead does not deserve time or a chance to gain ground

That people who need help are not to be walked by

That people who can help don’t believe it is a choice

We need the love inside of us to not accept what is not working in our lives

We need to hear politics that makes actual sense, without explanation

Without fine print

Without loyalty to any party

However loyalty to US, people

People are a party

People are a race

People are of religion

People need food

People need homes

People need learning institutions

People need each other

People need love

There is no soul on Earth more important than another

When we can come to the thoughts that anyone is here by mistake or isn’t worthy of what People need or want

Then we have lost already

There is no Them, since everyone is a them to someone

There is only an US, since we all share this same place called Earth

It includes US, Animals and Nature

And everything else is only a reflection of our needs, wants and desires

When you look around and find something to complain about

Look around again and find something you can do

That is balance

Pick up trash that you see when you can

Smile to another and remind them WE are here, there is not really a me and a you

Remember that there is no way anyone can do this alone

There is no way any leadership can work without people, nor can people find order without some kind of leadership

We each have a job to do,

We have a job to live and experience and grow

Yet we spend so much time trying not to change, to keep everything the same

Yet nothing is really meant to stay the same

It is meant to evolve and allow itself to find greater growths in each day

Most of our frustrations come when we feel we haven’t done enough

Or we have done too much and no one notices

It is simply important that you notice

You see, if you notice, it can only be shared

And all the sharing of what you see, can only be felt

And feeling drives our actions

And ignites another

Anything can happen

As love finds a way to propel

That is how it is when you are thinking something

And then one day see it on TV,

Or hear another speaking about it

We are one

We hear it, we say it, and we can now learn how to be it

Everything has a blueprint and we are the blueprint of life

Life is the answer to why we are here

Living is how we do it

Awareness is how we know what to do

And love is the fuel of it all

Love is our true leadership

Love is our stem

And Love is our search

Keep loving and you have already begun the movement

The movement of living life as you can dream it

And dream it as your life gives you answers

And answers keep you thriving for more

Emotional Detox

pjbosc — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:19:52 +0000

Instead of I can’t do this I will try this new thing

Instead of I won’t go there Go and see what you were missing

Yellow doesn’t look good on me? Wear Yellow

Never gone back and said you are sorry to someone from years ago? Call them now

Your closet need cleaning? Don’t get dressed one morning and just start cleaning it

Wanted to cook and instead are planning to grab something on the run? Cook

Keep thinking of going for a walk? Go and Walk

Keep thinking to plan a get together at your home? Start making phone calls

Love to cook and never have the ingredients? Buy them and stock them, you will always be ready

If there is someone you really love and you have never told them Tell them and expect nothing back

You see it isn’t what you are doing It is what we are not doing to each other It is what we are not saying Not sharing

Cleaning ourselves from the inside out Is to give our soul free reign as to who we are Without shutting out the beautiful parts, always on our way to them

Wash your car Use the bathroom before you leave Say thank you when you normally wouldn’t And I love you to someone you do

Say you made a difference And notice how you do too Let the world you see be noticed by you And the world will find a way to notice you too

Our souls are not our bodies Our souls are our actions Our love that we take the time to do and to share

Our love is all we have When we are far away from love we feel far away from life And when we are far away from life we say we want love

No more saying what we want and acting as though it is not right in our face It is all right in front of our faces, and we are making choices to postpone, not say, not share today, All that makes a difference to our lives

It is the invisible not eating when we are hungry Because we have free will to have a choice How about surprising your will And letting it know how free it is

Don’t Be True to Me, Be True to You

pjbosc — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:15:39 +0000

You tell me about yourself by what you say you do If you ask me not to tell another something, You ask that of someone else too

If I see you lie to another person You most likely lie to me too

If you wash your hands before you eat I know you wash everything else too

If you are OK with taking something that isn’t yours You will take me for what isn’t yours

If you talk about others Then you talk about me too

You see it isn’t what you confide in me Confidences need not be Open and free is truth Truth doesn’t need an introduction Or a premise or a thought

Truth just is Just was Will always be

You are not any different in front of me Than behind me, when there is truth

We ask of each other many things One thing I ask of myself

To tell you the truth So that you know I am truthful To treat you with respect, Then you know I am respectful

To clean up after myself So that you know to clean up after you To leave you feeling clair So that you know my intentions are clear

You see we learn a lot from each other As we hear, see, and take part of each other And we react to each other from that truth we see

Take part in your life So that you can take part in anothers

Your children don’t hear you as loud as they see you Your friends can see you for what you have done, rather than what you say you have done Your parents know who you are, rather than who they think you are And your heart knows your truth no matter what you try to say

Truth is here It waits for us to be it We wait for us to know it We say we are looking for it, Yet it is here, and you already know of it

So use truth instead of using excuses to evade it Let truth lead you rather than what you want to be truth No need to take non truths and make them true Stop wasting your time Stop taking away from something that is already in front of you And creating drama’s to prove your point

With truth there is no point, there is only acknowledgment Evading truth is like waiting for a train that is not coming Use the clues of your life to bring you to speaking the truth for what it is Because once you are true to you, you can be true to me

Once you start speaking with your heart I want to be in your heart too Once you start cleaning around yourself, I will clean with you Once you cook a meal with clean hands, you will feed everyone

Wash your life with truth and let truth create THE PATH There is not a path, truth is THE PATH Anything else finds a way of leaving us feeling shortchanged and hungry Truth is the breath of our souls And the soul of your breaths As you can share your heart when you feel it’s purity As your purity is the most becoming feature of any of us

Shopping For Love

pjbosc — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:25:42 +0000

What do you get when you give? What do you give to get? When you give it is a feeling of exhilaration that is addicting and self growing It is like that plant that doesn’t even need water to grow

I was walking into a store the other day And a lady was on the ground dragging herself to a bag She had fallen and she was too heavy to get up At first she seemed like she had a method so I was just going to go into the store Then I saw her dragging herself and I was wondering if that is just how she got out of her car and did her business

But then I was just curious so I went to her and asked her if she needed help. she told me that her daughter was going to come out of the store in a minute, that she is in line That she walked out of the store and was holding onto a pole to hold herself up And that she let go of the pole and she fell

So I asked her if I can get her daughter or help her up She told me we would have to find a big man to do that Then her daughter came out and when she saw her mother on the floor she ran to her and asked her what happened. She didn’t seem to expect her there

The daughter and I both managed to get her to her feet again And they were both so grateful So I was about to leave and they asked me my name Before I could tell them The relief on their faces was the very relief I felt to have helped them

It was the smallest of things, yet it was bigger than me at the same time I got tears in my eyes and I couldn’t tell them my name I was just silent and they were staring at me

It took me a minute and then I could speak my name I walked away as though someone cleansed me Like making this very small difference to people I would most likely never see again

It made everything I thought about my own life as new as it felt to fall into this family’s circle unexpectedly It reminded me how much we care about each other without thinking of it And it is when we think too much that we start playing the taking away game from ourselves

So I went to the store and didn’t find what I went there for A little later that day I was thinking about not finding what I went there for When it occurred to me that I found exactly what I went there for

That when we go to a store we are buying love of some kind to ourselves And that lady on the sidewalk was the love that day I left more fulfilled than anything I could have purchased More cleansed and appreciative of people

We forget sometimes how much emotion there is when we touch each other in this way How good it feels to share a strength we may have more than another And accept their strength when ours is not with us We build a wall that makes us think we are not in need

We are all needy and it has nothing to do with food or money It has to do with our emotions catching up to the other advances in our lives As we can balance, life looks differently and “needs” much less to fulfill it

If we step back from the wall Only then can we see it And walk around it

A Glimpse of Self Love

pjbosc — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 18:58:06 +0000

Are you scared to love me? Does it show that I am scared to love you? Maybe it is because I don’t know how to love me either?

I have been trying to figure out how to love myself for many years now I still am not sure what that looks like to say, I love me, I love you too

When I don’t love me the most I get scared that you won’t love me either When I love me the most I know you will be with me forever

I use to think of loving myself as selfish Then I use to think it was all in my ego to do that Then I realized when I was happy inside, selfish and ego weren’t an issue That I just wanted to spend time with you because I love you Again when I was happy

And then I wake up and I am not so sure how I feel And I take it out on you Accusing you of things that were OK the day before I found out when I am not happy, you will not be happy with me either As I try to take it out on you so I don’t have to face me

How do I love me? So that I can love you I was sitting on the floor one morning On my way to an important meeting And across from me was a mirror

I took a quick glance only to see myself sitting on the floor tying my shoe When I looked up, I didn’t see me, I saw a person, sitting on the floor, tying their shoe It was a weird moment, however I realized I WAS a person I stared at myself from a distance I realized I looked like the people I see, not the person I know

I started talking to myself I told myself, You have a big meeting today, I wish you well

When I said that I started to cry It felt so good to care about me Like the words of a dear friend I continued talking

As I cried, I said, I am going to take care of you my friend I am your friend I see you wake up everyday, rush to get ready, Yet I realized I never really see you at all

I am sorry I never looked I judge you so harshly And you are just making a way for yourself, What ever that is

I promise to do right by you From this moment forward I will understand when you don’t think you have done well that you have done your best And I also promise not to hurt you more with the words in my head that take away from me I will remind myself that you did your best and maybe it was not meant to be for you

I also promise that when things are going great to let you enjoy those moments for what they are A part of life that keeps you motivated to do the rest of it And I will remind myself that every purpose has a challenge and every challenge has a purpose And that we are a team, My Heart, My Soul and My Mind

I will do right by you, I will not let myself forget that you care and that I care As my Heart and Soul spoke to my Mind I realized still that I am one, yet at times there feels like there are two of me One that loves and one that is harder on me than anyone I know

I sat on that floor and saw myself new that day I got up and left feeling like I have a partner within myself That I can be whole and awake to my actions That I can do right by myself

And with that, that I understand what it means to do right by others too They ARE me and I AM them Just as I have the voice in my head that either cheers me on or stops me in my tracks Joining myself with myself, Gives me the path to join myself with you I can love you more when I know what it feels like to love me more

Love can only propel once it knows that it is there

Love’s Soulvation

pjbosc — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 15:29:43 +0000

You can’t know nice until you are nice You can’t know beautiful until you feel beautiful You aren’t happy for others until you feel happy yourself

You don’t see the effort of others until you put forth an effort yourself You won’t acknowledge anothers success until you have felt a sense of success yourself It’s hard to have appreciation for anything if you never had to live without it

We can not know how it is to starve when we can’t decide what to eat We can not see a heart until we can feel our own We can not extend a hand, until a hand has been extended to us

When we know something, then we can share it We need examples from each other to see how effective it is to share who we are, what we feel If one of us does something, someone else immediately learns, feels, understands its worth

We are one, we hear this and hear it WE are one when it comes to respect To dignity To feel like someone notices That someone really cares

It grows our belief that everything has good in it That when we are angry and someone puts their hand on our back and says it will be OK That is better than virtual slaps on the face with words and gestures that do nothing but give us reasons to let go

Take your initial reaction to a situation And do the opposite Instead of saying You did this or that, said this or that Say, thank you for showing me what it feels like to take on your anger, You must really be mad, although it is not obvious why You are unkind to me, because you already feel it about somewhere else I know you don’t mean what you just said I am sorry you are having a bad day

It sounds like a lot to say, however it is not Think it, and it will come to the surface in your actions All you have to say in truth is, I know you don’t mean that Sometimes that is all you need to say

And leave it to the other person to find in themselves their own motivations and they can learn that, and have a moment to think about whatever it is in their heart That is being a teacher That is showing love when we don’t know if we can This is one way to do it This is one way to care

WE think we need to wait for a good day to do better No more wasting time Time is not relevant when it comes to love
