I hope he calls you in the morning
after a night of sleeping in a big, empty bed
Just to say good morning
Just to hear your voice
as it is the only wake up call
he needs.

I hope he cooks you breakfast
Knowing how you like your eggs
how you take your coffee
how little or how much you wish to speak.
I hope he cooks you dinner, too
For no reason at all.

I hope he holds your hand proudly
as you walk through a room
of people you don’t know.

I hope he builds you up
until you are standing on a pedestal
of your own creation.

I hope he encourages you to make art
take risks
travel the world
be alone—
always knowing that you’ll be back
home in his warm embrace
as long as his heart is open.

I hope he wears his heart on his sleeve
and is not shy
to adorn yours
as well.

I hope he is the kind of person
who, when presented with the ocean,
will not shy away
from diving in
to ride the waves.

I hope he is all of himself
unafraid to own
his stories
no matter how dark they may seem.

I hope he can see that all of you
is in the stars
poking through
the dark sky
of your past.

I hope he is not scared
by your ability to choose growth
your ability to not be held hostage
by the person you were yesterday
last week
last year.

I hope his attention span
is as long as every word
that exits your mouth
your heart.
I hope that he hears your truth
and meets it with gratitude
for your vulnerability.

I hope he loves you
in a way you didn’t know love existed.
For you have only seen love
in other places
with shaky ground that fell
beneath your hopeful feet.

This is who I hope
for you—
Because you are worthy
of being loved
by a heart so bright
the sun blushes
in admiration...

Impossible Is Nothing

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men [people] who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible in not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. —Muhammad Ali

“We have tried everything to get rid of suffering.
We have gone everywhere to get rid of suffering.
We have bought everything to get rid of it.
We have ingested everything to get rid of it.
Finally, when one has tried enough,
there arises the possibility of spiritual maturity with the willingness to stop the futile attempt to get rid of it and,
instead, to actually experience suffering.
In that momentous instant, there is the realization of that which is beyond suffering, of that which is untouched by suffering.
There is the realization of who one truly is."

- Gangaji

Extraordinary...

“The disciplines of physical exercise, meditation and study aren't terribly esoteric.
The means to attain a capability far beyond that of the so-called ordinary person are within the reach of everyone,
if their desire and their will are strong enough.
I have studied science, art, religion and a hundred different philosophies. Anyone could do as much.
By applying what you learn and ordering your thoughts in an intelligent manner it is possible to accomplish almost anything.
Possible for an 'ordinary person.'
There's a notion I'd like to see buried: the ordinary person. Ridiculous.
There is no ordinary person.”

- Alan Moore, Watchmen

Be like the sun for grace and mercy.
Be like the night to cover others' faults.
Be like running water for generosity.
Be like death for rage and anger.
Be like the Earth for modesty.
Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

- Rumi

Enlightenment...

"In essence,
you are the relationship between Spirit and Matter,
the mediator,
the bridge,
the means through which the Creator relates to Creation.

You are Life as it relates to planet Earth,
eternity as it relates to time,
the infinite as it relates to the finite..."

- Ken Carey, The Starseed Transmissions

"Life, is not a having and a getting,
but a being and a becoming."
- Myrna Loy

Soft is Strong...

"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding.
But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield.
As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.
This is another paradox: what is soft is strong..."
- Lao Tzu

Everything remembers something.
The rock, its fiery bed, cooling and fissuring into cracked pieces,
the rub of watery fingers along its edge.
The cloud remembers being elephant, camel, giraffe,
remembers being a veil over the face of the sun,gathering itself together for the fall.
The turtle remembers the sea, sliding over and under its belly,
remembers legs like wings, escaping down the sand under the beaks of savage birds.
The tree remembers the story of each ring;
the years of drought, the floods, the way things came walking slowly towards it long ago.
And the skin remembers its scars,
and the bone aches where it was broken.
The feet remember the dance, and the arms remember lifting up the child.
The heart remembers everything it loved and gave away,
everything it lost and found again, and everyone it loved, the heart cannot forget...

- Joyce Sutphen

“Each moment you are alive is a gem, shining through and containing earth and sky, water and clouds."

- Thich Nhat Hanh

“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

- Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
