    Is the antithesis of ourself, one who could be we? #thought

    If our heart we cannot bare, our soul, we’ll never share. If our mind we cannot change, We’re doomed, to stay the same. #thought

    Delaying truth, is itself a lie. Lies, do not breed truths. #thought

    “Guilt, and Regret. Words of love withheld, soon to be forever unvoiced.” http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054RFWU2

    Waking into a panicked, dead run before realizing it’s Sunday, not Monday. That.

    They whine when it’s cold, they whine when it’s hot, they whine when it rains, and also when it’s not. #kids

    The dreams of unreality, of parents to be. #thought

    Though you miss them each and every day, sometimes it’s for the best, that they not stay. #thought

    The lessons they leave, chill tears, in an autumn breeze. Wide eyes squeezed tight, yet they’re there, haloed, in memory’s light. #ForgetNot

    Every soul is deep, it is just that some fear to dive into their darkness. #thought

    What better payment, than a simple smile, even one unseen? #thought

    Do we cling to our memories, or is their touch the fingers of a fading past. #thought

    Silence settles, most troubling on some souls. #thought

    {JuliaGem} My wife and daughter playing Rummy. Wife, “I let you win!” Julia, “No, I let you take an ass whooping.” – it’s good to be home.

    Religious and Atheistic intolerance is such a turn off. How about practicing what you preach… for a change? #thought

    The scent of blood still draws. #thought

    Love is a force, which sometimes tears you apart. #thought

    Honor is no more granted by a uniform, as retracted by uniform’s removal. #thought

    Another day is done, another soul unsung, another heart lost, and re-won. #goodnight

    Some weeks of work, are best forgotten. Too many of these, of late. #thought

    some paths are not meant to cross, tempting though they seem.

    Morning comes with new dawn, a rhyme springs to mind, fully formed. Funny how that happens.

    How can I thank to all those walking beside me, without appearing self-serving, and insincere? Perhaps, by simply saying, “Thanks!”.

    Though I abhor censorship, I revere the freedom of not listening. #thought

    “Some thing are best left unsaid” – NO! The things best left unsaid, are the things most deserving of our deepest scrutiny. #thought

    When is enough, enough? #thought

    “A realist. Not a racist” – no, you’re a real racist. Is “realist” the new politically correct code word for racist? @ BigotsEverywhere

    Silence: the sound injustice prefers. #thought

    Enough is enough when you have more than you need, more than you can use, or more than you can bear. #thought

    Extracting a daily dose of spirituality, from a medicine chest of mistruth. #thought

    Greetings from the heart, so much sets them apart. #thought

    Sleep deep, don’t let the creep of the bugs in the bed, rouse you from your slumber, as deep as the sleep, of the dead. #goodnight

    Destiny, never there when you need her, never not when you don’t. #thought

    Might the most calloused hands, of the strongest men, need the tenderest touch. #thought

    The lessons of History, lost to most all who weren’t there. #thought

    Before we can truly appreciate life, we must accept that it will end. #thought

    Dis-satisfaction: depositing a paycheck, that can’t cover your debts. {“This isn’t a recession – it’s a robbery” – http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2011/10/17/%E2%80%9Cthis-isnt-a-recession-its-a-robbery-%E2%80%9D/ …}

    To thoughts so pure, they need not be voiced. #thought

    Is to never want to change, the ultimate arrogance, or a reflection of contentment. #NoImNotThere

    The blood that binds friendship, flows not in veins. #thought

    If you’re balanced on a blade, never let yourself by anger be swayed. #thought

    If love dwells in the heart, lust lives in the loins. #thought

    {and for those of you who haven’t walked beside me long, that last tweet is about as raunchy as I get.}

    If only wishes, were weeds. #thought

    In our beginning we believe we’re everything, as we age we know we’re naught. #though

    My son “Why didn’t you wake me for the Zoo trip?” Me “We did.” Son “Was I lying down, or standing up?” Me “Lying down” Son “So you didn’t!”

    Rudeness in an instant, or kindness in a heartbeat ~ it’s your choice of time, spend it wisely. #thought

    Simple acts of kindness bear the lowest cost. #thought

    A lover’s kiss, their tender caress, the very best way to relinquish stress. #thought

    Innocent, we’re born ~ our earliest lesson, is to lie ~ love’s attainment, our next goal ~ a tiny toddler, or two ~ life is, an epic tale.

    We live in times that should be of plenty, yet for many are more of tragedy. #thought

    “No my friend, for us waits winter’s cold clasp.” from the second novel in my series, Malmaxa.

    About to have a little fun, about to dodge and turn and run, about to pull a little trick, all to avoid the Karma stick.

    I’m not interested in justifications from politicians – all I want from the scoundrels, is actions in line with my conscience. #thought

    A Twitter bio isn’t a “label”, it’s a signpost pointing toward who you might be. #thought

    It’s supposed to be “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Not “A teeny bit of political clout corrupts completely”. #thought

    A picture describes a thousand worlds. #thought

    Why do I use double negatives? Could I be twice as negative, as thee? #iam

    So we can be the other one of the two of we who isn’t me? #why #iamnot

    Blank Bios: It’s not so much about judging books by their covers, as about contemplating a picture of nothing. {why bother?}

    Stifling an urge to kick the fire’s blameless remains, she turned about…

    This is the path between the instant that is life, and the eternity of death.

    … the tears therein were those of love alone.

    Behind him, dragged unwilling to an undeserved fate, Eden followed.

    They were a flood flowing by, a river of darkness, on a moonless night.

    Judge a book by its contents, and a Twitter, by their Tweets.

    Wracked, by misery’s caress.

    truth must seem to be told, and be seen to be told.

    I would much rather give the point, than get it. #thought

    Thoughts so vile, they can but rile.

    each curve of the three golden moons, in stark relief against blue heaven, the single star before them

    Full lips, bearing a smile, and the shape of his name

    Rethga drew a deep breath, relishing succor’s scent, and moved his head back. #malmaxa

    His twelfth mother smiled wide, at the rolling whisper that was her name.

    Walk with me, son of my daughter’s daughters.

    Perceiving a presence, he snatched his head up, to see a woman materialize from the mists

    Within it lay a pond, mirror-like in its stillness, and on its edge his first mother, Zunesan.

    Considering Sarah’s words, Rethga tasted within them a deeper truth.

    Mist, in still air.

    The breeze ruffling Sarah’s hair gusted north, thinning her vapor, which curled as the wind caught it.

    A terrible feeling washes over me today ~ work’s horrible call ~ will prevent my twitter play. #thought

    via my wife. Wife “How many women have you slept with?” Husband “Only one, dear – with all the others, I was awake.” #humor

    Guilt: a natural state of mind to which one listens, and grows ~ or turns a deaf ear, and blinds oneself. #thought

    Why are so many intolerant, yet grant exceptions for their own poor behavior, without a single thought. #thought

    Most of my thoughts are far more negative than positive. I strive to balance them, should I often fail… well, I’m ok with that. #thought

    Death: inevitable destination ~ transition, into another form ~ to be feared, or anticipated? #thought

    You cannot catch me, in a lie ~ not within this virtual world ~ herein, what need of such, have we. #thought

    And speaking of commercial lies, here isn’t one. Reading http://bit.ly/CGbMal1 will make you lose wait. #malmaxa Please RT.

    So many, dressed in old pain ~ soul cold rain ~ it comes, again. #thought

    Thoughts we have, choices we make, to give of ourselves, to those who take, take, take. #thought

    Until you’ve been chosen by a dog, you haven’t experienced unconditional love. https://cgayling.com/malmaxa/2012/08/unconditional-love/ …

    My wife has found an expression she delights to claims describes me perfectly, “I’m seldom right, but when I am it’s 100% of the time”.

    A thought, prompted by my favorite middle daughter becoming a “follower”. If life is a journey, is enlightenment its destination?

    Emotion outside of thought, is blind. If you cannot look on something, how can you see it for what it truly is? -m2 CG

    Where love expands the heart to infinity, hate shrivels it to incapacity. https://cgayling.com/malmaxa/2012/09/love-vs-hate/

    Memory of sadness is not foreknowledge. If it was, our world would collapse about us… its destruction assured by naught save our doubts.

    Why bother prefacing a hurtful comment with, “Now don’t take offense…”, when simply remaining silent ensures no injury?

    When the best choice is the lesser of two evils, it is time to re-evaluate and restate the question.

    Though Belief and Truth are intuitively similar, in reality they differ. I believe those who vote purely on party lines are fools, are they?

    Don’t worry daughter, one day you’ll be as good at finding things as your mother is at hiding them…
