The Warmest Shade of Grey

My niece and I are on a walk, her head against my chest as I carry her in hopes to bring her to soft day dreams. She doesn’t speak much as she has only been on earth for a little over 550 days. She smiles most of the time and loves the smell of lemon leaves on our walks. Her tiny strands of hair sway to the wind and her warm brown skin glistens when the sun greets her. The little wrinkles around her nose and eyes are so expressive, I can see her heart in her face. She hums on our mellow walks, until her eyes close to rest. She is, sweet Grey.

Infinite

I had a conversation with a dear friend the other day. We sat and spoke of life and light. It inspired me to recollect my life letters and what I live by today. In my life I’ve learned quite a bit. I’ve learned we are all unique, we are different and not everyone has a heart like your own and when the world around you sleeps, you are alone; no one will hold your soul but yourself so you must be strong yet soft and stay true to your own graceful understanding. I believe emotions are magical and when you are aware of them then you become magical. I believe intentions and desire rule this world- whether good or not good, we all have our intentions. And those who manifest honest intentions will be the hope to others. I’ve learned that where there is light there is also darkness and where there are soulful scars there is infinite healing. I’ve learned that success isn’t based on what you own or how much money you have or the lessons from your mistakes but it is defined by the priceless acts of love and kindness to every one you meet and how true you’ve become with yourself after you’ve learned your lessons.

Following The Dream

To breathe, simply to breathe is all we ever wanted. We traveled many a land to follow a dream, to feel once again.

I had a conversation with a dear friend of mine, the other day. We sat together and spoke of life and light. It inspired me, our conversations always inspire me. They spark life in me. It led me to think of my reasoning, life letters.

In my years, I have learned quite a bit. Ive learned we are all unique, we are all different and nit everyone has a heart of gold.

And when the world around you sleeps, you are alone; no one will hold your soul but yourself so you must stay strong yet soft and stay true to your own graceful understanding. 

I believe emotions are magical and when you are aware of them, then you become magical.

I believe intentions and desire rule this world- whether good or not good, we all have intentions. And those who manifest honest intentions will be the hope to others. 

I have learned that where there is light there is also darkness and where there are soulful scars there is infinite healing. 

I've learned that success isn't based on what you own or how much money you have or the lessons from your mistakes but it defined by the priceless acts of love and kindness to every one you meet and how true you've become with yourself after you've learned your lessons.

Whispering Angels

The voices are drifting in heavy, with words that linger of love. 

I ache sweetness, I wish for you. I long for us to be near.

The whispering angels, they led me here. 


The sharpness is so vividly familiar, from a dream that once lived.

I feel magic, I desire just you, I crave the miracle to feel true.

The whispering angels, they bring me to you.

Stay Together

We, the siblings and the cousins sat around the table out in the back yard today. We laughed so much today, told stories of our youth and passed the babies around to give them kisses and hugs. It amazes me, how connected and how loved we were as children, and how we all still are today. Our parents, our aunts and uncles are true heroes, sacrificed a land of their upbringing in search for better lives for their future, us. Growing up it was always there, the happiness and the bliss and also, that feeling of wonder. That feeling, it lingered to the thought of how my parents felt, my cousins parents, the process of growth and challenge as immigrants to a new country. Did they feel alone, do they ever feel alone. I never really asked them, if they missed home. In my heart I felt home was their loved ones, us, their children, each other. As I sit back now, I often wonder, if they could change the choices they made to come to this country, would they. Do they feel tired for working more than they should have, all our lives. I wish I could give them all they have given us, all the love and the commitment we as children and we, as adults now have been so fortunate to be embraced with. They have never left us, they have only loved us. I will promise to always return the commitment.
