What lives inside

We are all living lives of uncertainty 
Lives of surprise and pure originality 
But we think we know otherwise and get bored with monotony
When we don't realize that we are just one small choice away from spontaneity
Same old days with the same old things
Not seeing we are the one weaving the strings
Until one day we sit scratching our head
Wondering life can't be just this but instead 
Days where laughter is behind every turn 
And every moment is a lesson to learn 
That dreams are just as real as the paychecks we are expecting to receive
And nothing more is required to make them come true but simply to believe 
It is not that we are unaware of all this 
Walking from breakfast table to bedroom in ignorant bliss
But that somewhere along the way merely we had forgotten
Likely when we were no longer children and adulthood was not quite gotten
Life is beautiful they say, brilliant and divine
And we ask how did you learn this, where did you cross that line 
You had it all along, inside and waiting they'd say
Then suddenly we realize it is our own voice answering while we pray
We stop scratching our heads, open our eyes, and smile real wide
It is a beautiful life with nothing in our way for we have greatness living inside

Just love

“I do not know if all matter will be found to be made of one element, as oxygen or hydrogen, at last, but the world of manners and actions is wrought of one stuff, and begin where we will we are pretty sure in a short space to be mumbling our ten commandments”
-Excerpt From: Ralph Waldo Emerson. “Essays.” 

Elegantly stated, Emerson implicitly urges us to respect and love each other without judgments and pretensions. 

Fascinating to see writings of the past still run alongside the oldest teachings of time: Simply love. 
With love comes all virtues and manners. We needn't try to be "better" individuals. Just love ourselves, others, and the One. The latter existing and consisting of the two formers.

If all of what you can see is with your eyes, then you are blind. 

You Are

You are magnificent
Your soul is pure
Stumbling beautifully 
Trying so hard to do right
When right and wrong seem to have no difference 
You tread forward 
Through the fog of youth 
And the night of doubt
What waits for you at the end
Is not so clear 
But you know it is worth the tears
Because anything is better than nothing
So you march on
With fists tight 
Knowing nothing of what's ahead
Forgetting all that is left behind

Love is Virtue

The light spectrum of love are the virtues of man. Not by concentrating to strengthen virtue do we acquire its qualities, but by love. Simply living out of love does our light shine through the different shades of circumstance which filter its color to specific virtues. 

Restriction + Creativity = Good

Restricting the range and generalization of your creativity can force you to focalize your creativity and enhance ideas. 
Like energy, creativity cannot be destroyed, only manipulated and transferred. If made smaller, it is more dense and concentrated.  

Ideas^x
x = (Intentional + Specified) (Restrictions) +Creativity

IDEAS^x = Revolutionary
