The Shades

The SHADES

Shielding from what others could see in me,

Shades are helping me explore the sky and the sea;

Shades not only of grey but of colorful variety,

Life is best seen in the polaroid reality.

Expression... Writing... Sketches...

EXPRESSION:

When the mind is confused with words

on what the heart unfolds,

it's the hand that holds... 

WRITING:

Let your thoughts flow through words,

let your words flow through your hand,

and let your hand write everything from your heart... 

SKETCHES: LINES AND CURVES

Even lines and curves tell a hundred words

Of what's within, what ones feeling lords.

The heart is beginning to sketch

The joys and pains that experiences etch.

Each stroke comes with the wave

Which  life wishes to save.

It is the stillness of the mind

That enables pieces of thoughts to bind.

It is the calmness of the heart

That allows images to impart.

A beauty unique and beyond compare,

A thousand words that pictures declare.

The Butterfly

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly." 

- Richard Bach -

Here comes the visitor!

"Shoeing" off. hehe

Taking a pose

Beautiful landing!

Frolicking... ＼(^-^)／

A step closer...

Lights and shadows...

The bonding!

The flight...

Simply as is...

Just when I thought of learning how to fly, you came by right at the doorstep. What a pleasant surprise! 

A moment is lived with your beautiful, entertaining, playful and happy presence. 

Thank you for the visit, Madam Butterfly. ♥

Freedom is...

It's great to always find that inner joy. 

But freedom is also another wonderful thing that directs one how to live life...

Let me quote the word for me today from Message from God,

"Today, Mary, we believe God wants you to know that ...

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT.

Sometimes when you go through a period of great difficulty and struggle, it is so that you can finally realize what you do NOT want in your life. Then finally, at long last, you can embrace what you DO want.

GIVING UP and SURRENDERING.

Giving up is an expression of exhaustion. Surrendering is more allowing. Like, after utilizing one's own effort for series of events, one finally gives up for having no further options maybe. But surrendering is when one has recognized one's own will or wants and finally let it go for the Greater Good to take care of it. There is joy, peace and a greater sense of freedom...

Acts of LOVE

If your act, no matter how little, is moved by love, you will see that love can make things possible. Even the universe conspires to your heart's desire! The bonus? You feel loved as well and it drives you to embrace the universe. A feeling so overwhelmingly grateful!  ^_^
Shouting at the top of your silence to your heart's contentment, "I love You, Lord!" <3 p="">~ jocrossy ~

...let me find myself in Your Voice

As I continue in my discernment, this morning, I uttered these words before Him in the Blessed Sacrament,
Let me find You, Lord in this calling, and let me find myself in Your Voice...

And minutes after in Mass, the priest in his sermon spoke about trust in God.  
"Trust in God and you will find that everyday is a miracle... With Him, you will walk in faith, hope and love in your life."
Was it an instant response from Him? I can only thank God for tirelessly and lovingly listening to me. But I guess God just have to be a little more patient with me. hehe
