    Souls scream, souls sigh, souls cry, but soul sounds don’t matter, cause souls never die.

    To me, one of the most troubling things is how many wonderful people so doubt themselves.

    We are all unique, we all have doubts, but one doubt we should never have, is doubt of self.

    Who we are today, is the basis of the person we are building for tomorrow.

    Is not doubting yourself thinking you’re great? No, it is not doubting or trying to be anything other than who you are. Unique.

    Eating flesh, for food, okay, but stealing skins, for vanity, not okay.

    People do not claim fame, fame claims them, and from all I see, fame is a terrible taskmaster.

    The words we say but do not mean, the things we think but dare not say, the truth we see yet do not glean.

    Don’t fault yourself for feeling.

    Is the essence of wisdom simplicity?

    Is not the best touch, the touch of a friend’s eye, is not the best sound the sound of a friend’s joy.

    Is not the best feeling, the touch of two hearts, sharing healing?

    How long does never last.

    Imposing morality is immoral.

    If people lack the courage to speak freely, there is no freedom in their speech.

    Love makes us want to hear as much as it makes us want to tell, it wrings our heart, like a crystal bell, to love, silence is a living hell.

    I have been to places I have never been, yet I know the place, and that there, I’ve been.

    If you listen to me, the only thing you can be certain of is that at least one of us will be wrong.

    Impartial is as impartial does not do.

    We all take sides, but for some of us our moral standards force some of us to take both.

    To you, the moon is he, to me, the moon is she, it is the reflection of the other, that in the moon we see.

    As the moon moves, the moon moves each of us.

    When we focus on the flesh, we do not see with the soul.

    Sexy, is in the mind more than it is the flesh.

    “The next time you throw something away, remember there is no ‘away’…” – unknown.

    Pictures tell a thousand words, but sometimes words do too.

    The most ancient languages are not of words, they are of looks, a crinkled eye, a curve of lip, a bow of head, a tongue-tip, seen.

    Show me, don’t tell me, but tell me, too.

    The count of your words, should always be exceeded by the count of the thoughts within.

    Do more for others, than you would have them do for you.

    Human Nature at it most base: responding to bigots before you respond to your friends.

    Though I understand I’m a slave, I don’t understand who owns me.

    Mistaking knowledge for wisdom, is like thinking understanding is acceptance.

    Our heart is possibly the only thing that grows each time we give another piece of it away.

    My son just received a detention for describing the 2012 economy as, “Shitty.” Apparently, “Crappy” was an acceptable response.

    If laws don’t directly address right and wrong, then their purpose is not to serve, but to bind.

    Words are the foundation upon which deeds are built.

    Where comes the chaos, from within.

    To copy is not to create, and to create there is no need to copy.

    Love is when you are more than you are together, and less than you are alone.

    The only thing money is, is the means to our end.

    If we can’t step out of our comfort zone what hope have we of understanding?

    I don’t write for money, my writing is for reason, if you’re looking for funny, my works aren’t in season. http://bit.ly/CGAmb1s

    Every day, is today. every yesterday, is past, every tomorrow, could be a better day.

    For some reason sarcasm just doesn’t seem to work in social media.

    The truth resides within the eyes, if they don’t crinkle, they lie.

    The heart of sarcasm, is subtlety.

    We learn more from a single failure, than we do from a myriad victories, yet still we strive for victory. No wonder we learn so slow.

    What can be said about those who make no attempt to understand is that they will never understand.

    Taking pride in ignorance is more foolish than burying your head in the sand.

    Each of us is unique, so why is it we try so desperately to be the same?

    How do we know our children are the most precious things we have? We just do.

    Should those who work on the night shift, be known as the night shafted?

    Though we may never speak, our true friends in our hearts we keep.

    Friends are usually cause, for glad, yet sometimes, they also make us sad.

    The weakest, are those who dare not feel, who their hearts, never reveal, who a kiss, never dare to steal, who are deaf, to love’s appeal.

    Why are such simple words, so easily misunderstood, so difficult to say, and so hard to hear?

    In my opinion the world needs people with the capacity to feel far more than it needs people with the capacity to not.

    The best we can do, is to always be true. The worst? Close our eyes to evil, our ears to lies, our hearts to love, and our lips, to a kiss.

    Hard to say “I’d rather cry than feel nothing” when the tears are real, and the feelings too, what to do, what to do.

    When we want to learn about love, we should turn to our dogs, who know more than any human ever will.

    Babies are the true meaning of our existence, they are life, and they grant love.

    Images are a key to the lock on memory.

    The world doesn’t stop when we do, it continues to go.

    Your heart knows what’s right, emotions confuse your mind, but when your gut speaks, that’s when you should listen.

    None of the things that matter, are subject to measure.

    We are taught to suppress our instincts, when we should be taught to hone them.

    Originality, is rare, the deepest desire of most is to be, only to be, yet also to be the same.

    The worst scars we wear, are scars that show we just don’t care.

    Bless those who in our hearts abide, may they forever there reside.

    The only thing that matters, is life, the only thing that means anything, is love.

    Soul animates Life, Life animates flesh, flesh develops a Mind and a Heart, Love builds Character, Death sets the Soul free.

    Be nice and be forgotten, or be rude and be remembered, but who wants to be remembered as an ass? http://bit.ly/CGApRsR

    So much old wisdom holds eternal, though contradictory value, “If you have nothing good to say, say nothing.” versus “Silence is consent.”

    What to do, and when to do it, when to be still, and when to cry shrill, when to look, and when to not, when to unlearn, what we knew.

    Dusk, when night kisses the day, away. Dawn, when day washes night, with light.

    If what’s best for you isn’t what’s best for everyone, then it isn’t what’s best at all.

    Love is a warm glow, whose cause we do not know.

    Those who test friendship and love, are neither friends, nor lovers.

    Marriage is a contract inked in love, it is about commitment, not about control.

    Instead of holding difference in a loving embrace, we close our minds and cast it away in disgrace.

    Lack of understanding does not preclude reality.

    Why do so many stand silent before infamy? Raising your voice against iniquity is more than an outlet, it is a cure. http://bit.ly/CGApRsR

    Tears come from many sources, all of them emotive. Emotions are good things to have, and sometimes tears are good things to shed.

    Religion has nothing to do with soul. But if you truly believe that all you are is a chunk of animated meat, well, I pity you.

    It is rather hard for me to confuse soul with mind, or heart with love, because none of them are defined. But they all “are”.

    If anyone has an understandable explanation of soul, heart, mind, love, or even of life, please let me know. I’ve wondered for over 50yrs.

    I have long thought plants are the highest form of life, for they can eat the inanimate, they need not kill to live.

    One of the things I most love about absolutes, is that they always have exceptions.

    Life, Love, Soul, Mind, Heart, & Character. Isn’t it amazing how readily we bandy words about, yet are unable to define what they even mean?

    This is why I teach my children intolerance… intolerance of bullies, intolerance of injustice, intolerance of bigotry.

    If you have to get in mischief, do it in your dreams. #goodnight

    Words are so capable of conveying emotion, but only if we read them with our heart, if we read them with our head, they often seem so dead.

    So much said between the lines, that is where the real truths lie.

    You make me sigh, you make my heart sing, you make my soul fly, you make me smile, even as my eyes cry.

    Fresh snow, pristine and white, yet when it melts, what an awful sight.

    What need of drugs when laughter bears you high?

    The best way to escape, is into the souls of the ones you love.

    True friends are there to hold us back when we’re wrong, and to egg us on when we’re right.

    I am an African soul, trapped in a Caucasian body, banished to the USA. Life, is hard. The only thing that makes it worthy, is good people.
