Following The love (A love Story Unfolds)

To know you is to breathe
dedicated to both mother and Daughter.

To breathe is to know you

To breathe is know you, the inside and out,

To give of me, the deepest part of my love!

To kiss and saver your flavor a sweet blessing, a gift from above;

An enchantment that only the wise can see, and appreciate this dream before me that somehow came true!

That is to breathe,

To breathe is to peruse life then stop at you,

And exhale for the first time;

That! my dear is to breathe!

To breathe is not just expiring air from day to day,

But to feel the urge to give till all of me is exhausted,

Then my mind says I can give more, so hold me,

Then I may give the rest of my life away.

To breathe is not just the act respiration but the out of body experience,

That I get when I am with you.

The dream fulfilled, that in all consciousness I had never known it would be you?

To reap a harvest I never planted, to now live a life I had never planned for,

To see through windows and touch real manifestations of my future that has not yet come.

To breathe is you, and to know you, and to have you and on and on;

To breathe is to bring to life the dormant faction of life and having them harmoniously dance before me but you setting the tone;

You bring these things into my mind’s eye as to complete me,

You set me in worlds that make me cry, laugh and the emotions makes me ask why?

You still my heart to feed on such compassion that I am playable to love in every way that love can twist,

To breathe is to know you, in the simplest term.

Hope our magic dust

            To hope- meaning words like expect, anticipate, wish, optimism or anticipation.               These are some of the strongest words that I had found that puts the word hope in a place, which says I look forward to a particular outcome (I look forward to) the year is almost over and the sun of today will have set in the west and the dawning of a New Day or Year will take yesteryear’s place. Hopefully for all of us, we will be moving into some new experiences, finding new challenges and conquering some new battles which life will put before us and we will be having great success doing just that; I want to put a large prayer into the environment.                        I would like to charge the air positively to set the tone for great success, in love and in loving, in future ventures of business and in good wholesome relationships no matter what they are in Business, in personal relationship, or even casual ones too.    Please be guided by the divine power of God, take good guidance wholesome wisdom and make it your own, use it in your lives; I pray that you will make good assessment and even better prognosis so that when you stretch your arms out to grasp your future it is with good assurance that it will fit your desired intention.

            It is my hope to employ faith in God to fulfill my needs for this coming year that He would have me be successful in my truest endeavors that come from my heart, I hope to grow in love, prosper in my faith and help to be more responsible in my actions towards my fellowmen, and I hope to be able to handle more in finances, more trust as people see me trustworthy and have confidence in the man I desire to become.     In true faith I know that this to be the truth and it will be not just because I say so but because the air I now release into the atmosphere is positively charged in the name of Jesus Christ and through him God’s mighty power is released.

With these words I now know if you all come in agreement in a mighty positive way we all will see things in our lives that will pass all human understanding.    For today we are blessed.  And the whole world said “Amen”!

Showing true empathy, a different point of view

Empathy (Showing it may be more difficult)

I read a piece tonight How to Be Truly Empathetic

www.huffingtonpost.com and thought I would look into it further,  I thought it had the best of intentions, to express to others something that he became sensitive to, and possibly learned a valuable lesson and he wanted to share that lesson, So I read his piece.    I found that in writing your own expression is not enough, it should have good foundation and actually have more to it than just your own thought (it should be given some sort of investigating, to have a well rounded taste for all to share and show a deep responsibility to the reader)  don't get me wrong he did think about his reader but I felt there could have been more for better clarity.               

 Not to be too judgmental and harshly tare his piece down or apart, but I would like to add to it some insight of my own.     The word empathy similarly means – to show compassion, or sympathy, or even just show understanding.      We can use those words to start to internalize the meaning and show empathy but the act is simple and can be of two parts, 1) we should start with just listening why? Because that is just what we will always start with, but do just that and nothing else “Listen”!    I believe that the meaning of a word should be the foundation of any explanation about it, and that gives us some Idea how to express it.  This gives the truth and value to that particular word.    So I emphasize just listening to the person, hear what they say and show some understanding, Just listen, nothing else; not even offer a solution which is what we think is the core of expressing empathy, Stop! Just listen.             Now part 2) If part one goes well and you have really earned it the person would naturally invite you to give you advice, and then ask what do you think I should do? So recap “Listen” then wait to be invited.   After you are invited to give you input the person will see you showed them some understanding and fully expressed empathy.      I believe that the word that brings us to a easy understanding of empathy is to listen or in-other words understand what it is I am saying please I really need you to ( they can to you then already they have placed trust in you and may just want to be heard) they will invite you in to help.

I wrote this piece to help mister Huffington’s post not to tare it down, I think we as writers sometimes get the emotion of a piece, and forget all of our responsibility to our reader and not investigate to be able to give our work an none-bios point of view.  Or just give a little more for clarity sake and remember that can be very hard to do.

In Search Of Life

  In search of life –

The topic does not really do justice to the body of this piece, and I say that because it is the hope of every man to live, and live well.                  I believe that we all try to find the path that will ultimately give us or lead us to true happiness; some may say that that thought is an illusion something made up and just does not exist.       The truth is it does exist and it is real but what do you consider to be happiness?           For each of us that reality is so different, so can I sum it up in this piece alone? The answer maybe confusing and long but I will try to be brief.

            True happiness comes in a few parts, in order to understand what it is I am saying please hear me out.            A man cannot be more than what he believes, and if that is so, then his foundation will be the basis by which he starts to build his entire life on (meaning that what he is given as right or wrong is his start and from there he or she begins to fill in the blanks). We sometimes abandon the very things we were given at childhood and go on a hunt for new ones, then with a quickness off we go to find out just who we are and we make some of the most horrifying mistakes in history, ones that should be placed in the Guinness Book of World Records (Real stupid one that make absolutely no sense at all).      We then arrive to a place where the search to happiness is on, then the second part of this quest can be the most fatal, if we don’t first have an open mind but I warn you not too open there are traps and snares (that is life and I promise you that you will fall for these tricks of life).            Or this can lead us down the rabbit hole and getting out of that can lead us to have broken dreams and become delusional, sad and a disappointment to everyone we want to impress, the first is ourselves.           

Happiness comes when you are pliable to live with a joyous attitude and an optimistic outlook on life, it does not come in a bottle or in someone else but when you find contentment with the mistakes you have made, knowing that you are not going to make them again and putting your efforts to leaving the old and reaching out for the new.    We tend to spend too much time waddling in sorrow and disappointment and shame of failures we made if you live after making a mistake then you have the great opportunity to win.      Please reach out for your happiness by always moving forward, having an open mind to new things and sometimes old things that have been proven to work. Don’t spend your time trifling things, stay on course to attain Happiness by making good bonds with people who see you in good light, and are interested in lifting you up and want to see you succeed in you endeavors, they are the ones who have your interest at heart and will make this life bearable; that my friend is true happiness and if you have another Idea please let me know because I do have an open mind and I do live optimistically and have no intention to settle.

Live long and prosper. J

I would not make a poem or write a piece that justifies the weighing of a man's person against a woman's, the differences are clear and should not be compared against one another.      It is an emoral and wrong thing to do, in fact that should not even be given notice; it should be snuffed out and killed at first sight it should not be given air to breath and multiply in the minds of good people. 

We should be very responsable enough to make the distingtion of diference, but not comparison,  each sex should stand tall on its own while we state the living virtures within them and not popetuate war between them.     So I now stand and give an account of the raw potential and beauty and rights of the woman.     The one half of that pair that make it even posible to guide the youth of this nation and the youth of many others people nations around the world.       The woman is part of the team that was made to nuture children to find their way and fulfill the potential inside of them and become the leaders of tomorrow.

Woman

By Guy T Woods Sr December 18, 2011

Women brace yourself, - - - Hold on tight to what I employ,

Have you given yourself due compensation to who you really are?

Walk up right! - - - Take a poised position,

Do not assume prehistoric postures or the labels that have been thrust on you for so many years,

Your souls were not made for that, to bear that shame!

Such ignorance was not meant for you! But it was cast your way through jealousy;

But why?

You are pure beauty, you should stand strong, your mothers are made from the richness of this earth, they are daughters of kings in their own right and have given you a true sense of equilibrium,

They gave you a sweet balance of culture not to be squandered, and passion and heart.

Whisper in the ears of your sons and daughters; place this gene carefully in their instruments; so that within each society they may be seen as great contributors,

Your children are the seeds of great and your daughters harness the breath of your ancestry within their wombs.

And your daughter’s breast, will feed life to nations, and touch this world in many ways, with gentle compassion, innovation, with literature that touches the heart and humanitarian efforts that heal lives and bring peace and so much more;

“Woman” do not let the ugliness of this world tarnish your brilliance or make a mockery of the richness within you!

You are not the absence of color you define what it is, and have placed your name on it in many colors and shades,

Be now defined, but not in teaching mediocrity but the fullness of who you really are, queens to be lifted up and placed on the shoulders of Good men,

Not an enigma but a living fact! that should be placed on the lips of mankind and in their hearts.

You are a precious star on earth, placed hear because spiritually, you desired to be here, and God made it possible!

And men should be aware that your power has no end, but you use it with purpose and with responsibility, never to abuse.

I applaud you because I see your potential and know who you are, I am your sons and daughters, I am in love with you; the real “You”!

And I will always be bound to you, I feed richly from your bosoms, (your heart’s lair) so feed me well woman (wisdom).

I have much years to go and miles to walk, and only you can truly love me the way I need to be loved and nurtured for I am your.

I need you to be “Woman in your fullness”

“Woman”
