Sanctification of the Self

Give yourself a hug today, forgive yourself and continue to play.

Let new wounds heal and old scars fade. Grasp hold of the sheath and put away the blade.

Open your heart to the love within…

Wonderous joy awaits beneath the flesh that is sin.

Notes:

Showing yourself compassion and having self-forgiveness is a huge part of the healing process. As well as showing compassion and forgiveness to others.

Though others may have caused us pain or the pain was self-inflicted. It’s important to show forgiveness.

Bit by bit look inwards and find parts of yourself to forgive, that ‘self-doubt’, those feelings of ‘im not worthy’. That little voice in the background that constantly berates you, forgive it.

What you find within yourself, you will see in others. Those dark shadows that stretch behind us all when the light is shone upon our person.

Let that light shine and show you the path towards forgiveness and compassion.

A Resting Place

Not one of mine but my partner – the author has given me the rights to publish on her behalf here. It was inspired by a walk earlier this morning at our local cemetery. Jealous I’d not conjured up these words myself but thought it deserved a place on my collection and deserved to have the rightful credit, so thank you Laura for your Haiku 💓

Tremors in the Desert


Startled rocks gyrate

Thunderous footsteps echo

Then the dust settles

An Ode to ‘Mr. Lee Jun-fan’

Be like water just like Bruce, be shapeless and formless ~ flexible to life and structure like a fortress.

The art of fighting without fighting, I think you'll find this ideology quite enlightening. One inch punch style Kung Fu fighting, seeing stars it was a little bit frightening.

Dragon breathing fire in mid air, executing flip kicks with virtuoso flair, slaying your enemies using your dazzling stare.

Enter the hall of mirrors, confronting your demons and a handful of sinners. Martial Arts experts, all performing as winners.

Your first of fury menacing all of your opponent's, sending them flying scattering like small components.

Mind like water just like Bruce, body is a temple ready to solve disputes, but remember to tame this golden dragon and set it's spirit loose. Prepare to win this contest and find the ultimate truths.
