Failure is living for others and neglecting yourself...

By AdrianJ

Question, listen, look, learn, explore, use -
but always trust life

Embracing it, you dance with eternity,
your velvet brilliance - sacred womanhood

Your heart beats with a fever to be more than yesterday
you kill the present, haunted by the momentum of the past
mouthed by the echoes of dead of futile dead ghosts...

Listen - to the universe, let its rhythm resonate within and surround
yourself with its vastness and you will hear your own voice
talking back to you.

Life is not easy
Life is not magic
Life is not sacred - you are - your soul

Celebrate the good with the bad
the point is celebration - if life is hell
the best revenge is living well...

You are born of the same vast, ferocious, all-powerful
limitless, brilliant secret stream of eternity in this universe

Yourself, myself are the one in the same - we are separated,
divided, by perspective.

Change yours and you will remember the truth
for it has always been there - the you within you...

Beneath all those layers of illusion - cemented by fear, reinforced by habit.

Neglected and buried and and atrophied, it needs but
one breath of truth - from you to transcend it's bonds and come alive
for you

It has always been there, waiting...

You think that I can give it to you
I can only bring you to the precipice
it is you who must jump and learn that you can fly

You must realize it within yourself...
