I see great people… What do you see?

Last week I’m at the store walking
around an aisle when all of a sudden,
a line from a movie pops in my head;

“I see dead people,
only they don’t know they’re dead.”

(this is my paraphrased version -
I haven’t seen the movie in 7+ years)

To which my mind echoed back this,
and it’s been haunting me ever since:

“I see great people,
only they don’t know they’re great…”

It took me a week to write this piece
because I don’t know how to convince
someone who doesn’t already know it.… —-> Continue…

So you think you’ve got problems?

Some time ago I saw a woman whose face
had been severely disfigured from burns.
Several times I caught myself avoiding as much
eye contact as I normally would allow because
it was distracting. And if I’m distracted…
well, you who know me know I have to keep
starting things over and over again if distracted.… —-> Continue…

When the fireworks fade…

After the fireworks fade,
and the last bottle rocket lands
I hope you will take a moment
followed by every moment
to question your Freedom.

If you’ve never sat down and read

I was going to start off by saying the revelation I’ve had in
visiting my parents & seeing old friends after too many years
is that I am seen as the same kid I was over 25 years ago.

But… it’s not much of a revelation.… —-> Continue…

Trying to give… Love

Un-Worthy-lg

I saw a quote earlier that said;
“You deserve the love you keep trying to give everyone else.”

The word that jumped out at me was “Try”.
Call me crazy, but the image that came to mind was of someone “giving love” to others, and then pulling it back… taking it back when they didn’t feel it was reciprocated.… —-> Continue…

Is Your Day To Day a Reflection of Yesterday?

If you find yourself often
achieving undesirable results in Life,
look at the decisions you’ve made.
When you made them,
most likely they seemed like
a good idea at the time -
much like the ones
you make today… Right?

Maybe you should ask yourself;
“What am I basing this decision on?”

How far out of your own self are you stepping;
and have you looked at it objectively and unattached??… —-> Continue…

Let me hear your Song; play me your Music…

I’m at the Salvation Army thrift store
standing in line to purchase a small
dresser I’d found to help organize
what is my clothing chaos.

And I see him.
If one were to judge him by appearance,
they might say he had run out of luck
long ago and spent much time amongst the
out of work and possibly even the homeless.… —-> Continue…
