No title 2008-08-03 14:48:33 What is this thing that has happened with the passage of time and our understanding of love? Why does everyone pervert love, sucking bone-dry all its splendid glory? Why have we become so indifferent of mind and stagnant in heart? I am witness to this evolution that has turned love to lust and wonder why do we bother calling it love anymore...
No title 2008-08-03 12:33:12 Truth is merely as genuine as our perception of it.
No title 2008-08-01 21:09:28 Let the passing days, months, and years be contemplated here as I believe they are evidence of my humanity, and may they grow only to be bound by the impermanence of all created things.Right Views,Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Concentration, and thusRight Understanding,and so it begins...
No title 2008-08-01 21:09:01 I will seperate myself from passing judgment.
No title 2008-08-01 21:05:33 The path of hope stands upon a knife's edge. Stray but a little and we will fail to the ruin of all.

No title 2008-08-15 23:19:01 Within thy heart is a place where her fingertips gently rest, her kisses softly linger, and her whispers faintly echo. This sorrowing place is where she will forever be a part of me.Day By Day

No title 2008-08-14 21:13:58 There is so much here I will never understand. What I have witnessed of this world and of man has led me to question even God's intent. However, there is indeed something spiritual in this place and though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot help but aware of its presence.Day By Day
No title 2008-08-14 21:11:11 Whenever anyone is in unhappy circumstances I will above all inquire about them by visiting or sending some gift. I will never be negligent toward someone from whom I have received favor. The consideration of others can be seen by such things. For in this world people who would rely on others when they are in need and afterwords not give them a thought are many.Day By Day
No title 2008-08-14 21:10:44 He is the architect of many houses who builds prolifically in the minds of want and hearts of desire. He is the thief of innocence and benefactor of shame. He is the instigator of greed and deliverer of pain. He is the master of ego who corrupts faith and blemishes conviction. He is the whisper of suspicion, the composer of dissension, the cultivator of jealousy, and the harvester of despair. He
No title 2008-08-14 21:09:37 I have seen sickness and disease. Sickness is the universal lot of all men. For some it will come early and for others late. To some, sickness will come with great pain and suffering, which they will feel deep within the body. For others sickness will touch those whom they love and the anguish of pain will be set within the heart. People stand witness to sickness and disease yet go on as if it wil
No title 2008-08-13 18:06:01 I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. And where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.Day By Day
No title 2008-08-11 22:51:01 Man's true nature is poisoned by desire, fear, pain, and ignorance.Day By Day

No title 2008-08-07 20:56:14 Hollow are all words, embodied by meaningless conjecture and mindless inference. Words are emptiness incarnate. Only by deed will one see the true nature of another.Day By Day
No title 2008-08-07 20:54:09 Love serves to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things.Day By Day

The essence of life... 2008-09-08 19:57:01 The essence of life is wondrous with treasures to satiate desires both timid and gross.Day By Day
I believe... 2008-09-07 18:07:00 I believe
in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.Day By Day
The pressure of wantoness... 2008-09-06 21:14:05 The pressure of wantonness is everywhere and within everyone. It urges us into savagery, our own private hells, and desecrates our sanctity. It is the beast of instinct and harbinger of despair. Even through the eyes of indifference one cannot avoid the ugliness of immorality whether it be from within or from without.Day By Day
The world's more... 2008-09-06 21:13:39 The world's more full of weeping than you can understand...Day By Day
Everything mankind wants... 2008-09-06 20:49:01 Everything mankindwants
or desires, every kind of external fetish no matter how remote or minor, is nothing more than a convenient truth that can be belied, a trepidation that can be germinated, and a reality no more sustainable than a flittering dream or wisp of smoke.Day By Day Read more:Everything
I shall hold... 2008-09-05 21:36:33 I shall
hold only four questions of value in life. What is worth living for, what is worth dying for, what is truly precious, and of what is the Spirit made? The answer to each shall forever and always be the same.Day By Day
I remember... 2008-09-04 22:35:58 ...I remember a small delicate seven-year-old girl, Jordan, who had been severely and purposely burnt by a mother who was high on crack cocaine......I remember the story as it were told to me by a doctor. Jordan had been asleep in her bed when her mother came into her room and began soaking her daughter, her daughter’s bed, blankets, and stuffed animals with lighter fluid. It was only when Jorda
I reject the pain... 2008-09-04 22:33:54 I reject
the pain of broken love, as there is no adequacy in the heart as to its meaning. I will find instead happiness in her happiness, freedom in her freedom, and love in whomever she loves. So may my love for her serve these things forever and a day.Day By Day
