The Surfer and the Waves

There once was a surfer, bold and true,
Who’d ride every wave, no matter how blue.
The ocean would roar, the winds would howl,
But the surfer just smiled, with a bright, happy jowl!

When the waves grew big, and the clouds turned gray,
He’d grip his board tight, and ride on his way.
The waves may crash and the winds may scream,
But the surfer just thought, “This isn’t a dream!”

For emotions are waves, they rise and they fall,
Sometimes they’re big, and sometimes they’re small.
But just like the surfer, who rides with delight,
You can ride through your feelings, and keep your heart light.

When anger comes crashing, like a giant, big wave,
You can paddle on through, and be strong, and be brave.
When sadness rolls in, like a storm in the sky,
Just remember, dear friend, it’ll pass by and fly.

The surfer would smile, as the waves kept on crashing,
With each new emotion, he’d keep on dashing.
For with every wave, no matter how steep,
The surfer would learn that emotions can’t keep.

So when the waves of feeling come over your head,
Just ride them with courage, and you’ll never dread.
With balance and strength, you’ll make it through,
Just like the surfer, the the skill is in you!

Return To Sender – With Love

One night as I slept, quiet and tight, An energy crept in the dead of the night. It wiggled, it squirmed, it tried to attach, But this sneaky old trick, I was quick to dispatch! With a flick of my hand and a whisper so clear, I said, “Return to sender, you’re not welcome here!” For rage and resentment, domination and spite, Will bounce right back and take flight in the night. Oh yes, little force, you thought you were sly, But I see your tricks, and I bid you goodbye. You see, I’m protected, my heart’s full of light, And dark little energies? They have no bite! For the power within me is meant for the good, To heal and to love, just as it should. So when shadows come knocking, they don’t get to stay, I send them right back, on their merry little way. So remember, dear ones, when darkness draws near, You hold the light, there’s nothing to fear. Just speak with intent, send those forces away, And watch as they vanish, at the break of day! Return to sender, no need to fight, For love is our armor, our shield, our light. Domination and rage have no place in our hearts, They return to the sender, right back where it starts!

Finding Peace Within in a Distracted World

Life can often feel like we’re all caught in an endless race for attention, approval, and validation. Whether it’s social media, our professional lives, or even our personal interactions, the pressure to constantly be noticed or praised can be overwhelming. We’re either expressing our emotions for attention or, on the flip side, misusing them in ways that distort our true selves. This external chase can leave us feeling disconnected, not just from others, but more importantly, from ourselves. In the noise and chaos of modern life, it’s easy to lose touch with who we truly are. But here’s a thought, What if we shifted our focus inward? Even if it was just 10 mins a day. What if we stopped chasing the external distractions and learned to live fully within ourselves? The idea is simple but powerful, true contentment and fulfillment come not from outside sources, but from within. By turning inward, we begin to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness. We start to recognize our own needs, our desires, and most importantly, our emotions in their purest form. When we stop seeking validation from others, life becomes less about keeping up and more about simply being. The present moment becomes richer, more vibrant, and full of meaning. Living within ourselves in the now moment doesn’t mean disconnecting from the world, it means engaging with it in a more authentic way. Rather than being pulled in every direction by the demands of others, we are grounded in our own sense of being. This creates a solid foundation for joy, peace, and clarity in everything we do when we tend to our own garden of the mind. Of course, this is easier said than done. It takes effort to tune out the noise and listen to our inner selves. But the rewards are immense, a genuine sense of happiness, clarity of mind, and a more meaningful connection to life by closing out repeating cycles and freeing the self. But here’s the truth: being attached to either the positive or negative leads to suffering. True peace comes from balance, where we free ourselves from all attachments. By turning inward and cultivating self-awareness, we find contentment that isn’t swayed by external forces. Life becomes more vibrant, balanced, and fulfilling when we live from within. When we embrace balance, we break free from attachment and find joy in the present moment. So the next time you feel yourself getting caught up in the whirlwind of the emotions and pressures of modern life, take a moment to pause. Turn inward, listen, and trust that living from within will lead you to a life of greater joy and fulfillment.

Bridge Builders vs War Mongers

Oh, the gap that we see, it is wide, it is vast We could build to the middle, we could do it quite fast But I build from my side, and you build from yours Yet you won’t lay your beams, you won’t open your doors You say, “I want power” You say, “I want might” But where’s the true wisdom in refusing what’s right We could meet in the middle, bridge that space in between But you hoard all your bricks, so we stay where we’ve been For when greed takes the lead, and control fills the air The bridge cracks and crumbles with none left to care And what do we find when no bridge has been made Walls built up higher, where once hope had stayed Yes, wars are born here, in the greed and the pride When we can’t build together, standing side by side And murders are seeded in the soil of disdain Where bridges are broken, and peace dies in vain Oh, but we could Yes, we could Build a bridge if we try But if only one builds, then the other must fly For one can’t cross over what one can’t construct A bridge needs both builders, or it’s bound to be stuck So I build my half, you build yours, that’s the plan But if you refuse, I will stay where I stand For bridges need balance, need trust and respect Without that, it crumbles, a lost architect And when we fail here, it’s destruction we breed In the void grows corruption, and festers our greed With no bridge between us, just a wall that divides It’s crime, war, and chaos that seep from the sides So think, as you hoard, and you clamor for more A bridge waits for builders, or it’s endless war Let’s build halfway, meet in trust and agree But without your half, it’s goodbye, not unity
