Random Thought

Empty journal pages are profound thoughts that have gone unwritten.  Never be afraid to write even the quickest thought because you never know what thought could change the world.  :)

To believe and to forgive. . .

To do. To be. To believe.

What is do you see?

Tomorrow starts with one step.

Joy and sorrow share the space where future decisions rest.

To cry. To laugh. To reminisce.

How do we say goodbye to painful past?

Forgiveness.  For you.  For me.  For all.

I reach for the hope of tomorrow,

But I fear that I do not suffer enough for my poor choices made yesterday.

A heavy heart plagues the resolutions that I hope to make.

Is it possible to face tomorrow without carrying the heavy weight of guilt that haunts my soul?

Empathy towards others seems easier to accomplish than understanding myself that is. . .

Even though I am not quite clear as to what decisions that I should be struggling with,

I still seem to be wading through a swamp of grief.

I wade as I wait for my light to shine on a path where my weighted steps shall be released,

And my heart and soul will be set free.

Stand Up and Believe

Stand up. Reach high. Reach out.

All of us.

Those of us with guilt stricken minds,

heavy hearts and tormented souls,

please come with us.

Reach up. Look up. Believe.

From whatever background, let us just let our diversity soar.

Grab the hand of a suffering man.

Let us work together and make a stand.

Being divided has left our bodies bruised.

It is time to seek forgiveness.

It is time to let old grudges go.

Let the chains of anger fall to the ground.

Let us take our first step forward.

Our imagination shall be released.

What has forever been afraid to be dreamed shall be believed…

And it shall then become so long as we decide to take the first step and stand up.
