All there is...

After this week's attack in Toronto, we are all struggling with the feelings of anger, grief, frustration, a bit of hopelessness, maybe even despair. It's terrifying that we can't always 'stay safe' and there are no guarantees that something drastic, tragic and unexpected won't  affect our lives. But what if control and certainty were not the things we focused on? What if we concentrated on being fully alive and aware and awake right now - with appreciation and gratitude for each moment - instead of worrying about what will happen next or replaying what was? If you can live and love with a full heart, and if you can't, if you are brave enough to make a change right now, then fear and sadness won't have such a hold over you anymore. This is true freedom and peace of mind. This world is not ours to rule. But this moment is.

The boy who was (never) good enough

I may be off-base But I think I recognize it This desire to give As a way to provide Yourself with a pleasing identity. A way to be loving A way to be loved Giving up your own needs  For the sake of harmony. Did you have a mother who was always sad? Were you the one to delight her? Did you face the pain of choosing a path That took you away or made you unkindly? Was your brother the asshole And you didn’t mind it Because it meant you could be the one To fix feelings all around you. And when you were older Did you pick girls that reminded You of the woman who was always demanding? And did you feel good  When you provided  All of the joy that wasn’t inside her? But when you messed up Were you the same disappointment? The boy who was (never) good enough But couldn’t stop striving. I hope one day you see That you’re worthy of love Without needing to give Or be perfect. Above all I hope you reme...
