i want ... by terri st. cloud

i want



 i want to really really live.
i want to laugh til my stomach tightens so much
that it aches and my legs hurt from my slapping
them.

i want to cry from my gut and let the tears wash
me to where i need to go.
i want to hear the singing of my heart,
and let the sounds echo inside me
and i want to dance to that music.

i want to fill with compassion and touch
someone's face so gently that they can feel
the caring in my fingertips.
i want to love so deeply that my cells vibrate
with it and just standing near me you can
feel the buzz of the vibrations.

i want to know that i'm worthy and good
and i want to leave self doubt on the highway.
i want to touch the sky and recognize my
soul in it.

i want to walk in the rain and drop to my knees
in gratitude for this gift of life i have been given.
may i never ever forget what a gift it truly is.

People Will Forget

I've learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did,

but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya Angelou

 

We Have Forgotten ...

If we have no peace,

it is because we have forgotten

that we belong to each other.

Mother Teresa

Not A Mistake!

A mistake is simply another

way of doing things.

Katharine Graham

Do not make haste when judging your self or others.  What may initially look like a disaster, may in the end be a blessing.  It may be the long way around or it may be a shortcut through the thick of things, but it quite possibly is just another way of doing things...not right or wrong!

Fear Not ...

Fear not.

What is not real,

never was and never will be.

What is real,

always was and cannot be destroyed.

Bhagavad Gita
