Love, honesty and trust

Lessons learned over the course of my life for me thus far have been this...

Love no matter how many times it feels like circumstances are conspiring to drain the life out of love from your heart. Everyone is going to feel the backlash of being hurt but if you allow it to change who you are and how you love then that which injured your heart will have taken something from you. It is the foolish of us and not the fool to allow another person to rob you of a part of who you are. Love enough to say it and not wait for the grave to regret it. Even if it is not reciprocated if it is within you to express the sentiment it still possesses infinite possibility.

Honesty above and beyond all else save love is my credo. For me honesty is next to God if you are deceitful it is the foundation by which trust begins for me. Lies that fall from liars lips drink not of the same poison that they sip. A liar to me burns away anything i can ever feel for a person again. How do you put love and trust into someone who approaches life with an insincere heart.

Trust is something often hard to offer for people out of a sense of vulnerability, being burned, a multitude of scenarios. Then there is the ability above and beyond all else to trust in ones self, to believe in your own heart enough to say to hell with what people will think of you. Knowing enough about you to put your heart out there for the sake of not having missed opportunities. This one is a big one for me putting trust in my own heart enough to know that if I put me out there I can get burned, rejected, stared at in disbelief out some of the ore outrageous things I believe in enough to say them. The flip side of trust in ones self and just being unafraid that your words, your sincerest heart will be rejected is the fact that when you are sincere, honest and expressing something to another human being from your heart even if they are not sure where it is coming from I find that looking directly into someone's eyes they can suddenly just feel what you are trying to express.

So that is my ramble for the day. I refuse to live any moment of my life saying I should have done that or said that or felt that. God bless and much love going out into the universe.

XOXO!

Have a great day...

The sweetest days of summer skies
The smile as bright as love inside
The secret things we don't confide
To know the truth from the lies
Each day a blessing to live to feel
The moments that make us who we are
Wishing wistfully on a falling star
Capturing experiences that make us real

Have a blessed day!

Reaching for the light

Remove the shroud of darkness from my eyes and allow real light inside not just a diminished perception of what true light can be.
Take down the veil of secrecy that surrounds my heart the part of me that only the most honest of people get to see.
Who dares to tread near enough to touch my heart then rob me slowly of my trust and thieve pieces of my spirit.
I cast you out from my consciousness as I would some hidden demon robbing me slowly of my soul and from the light.
Dare I invest in believing that I am strong enough to even overcome my own self, my own ridicule that I hold my life up to.
Is each new day a gift to say I have choices to remain in the dark or open my eyes to the blinding light of truly living.
Forget the infinite deceitful darkness and dance smiling like a wistful child arms outstretched rebelling against the dark in the light.
Happy tears of release falling like heavens tears across my downtrodden cheek at last knowing that the day is a blessing.
Tears forged through the darkness onto my cheeks, light drying my tears and feeling the sun while the shadows are burned away to feel alive again.
