"Luck is where preparation meets opportunity…Blessed is where God steps in."
"Teach a child to laugh and you've given him happiness. Teach a child to laugh at himself and you've given him the tool to succeed."
"Look beyond your eyes, words await what you haven't seen"
"If a soul exists to find another, what is the other waiting for?"
"Mercy takes what you can't handle and turns it into a way out."
"Obstruction is just a view of the world from an unbeliever's perspective"
"Criticize the way of yourself and you will find that others never meet your standards."
"Philosophy is the reason behind what you think you already know"
"Change is only necessary if you want to remain the person you always thought you'd be."
"The chase is what happens when a person's will power exceeds their dreams"
"The temperature of a dream depends on the motion of the dreamer"
"Logic is the only reason for looking for unknown answers"
"Problematic responses are in the beholder of the impatient thought."
"Religion is a way of classifying your beliefs in the standards of the church. Faith is knowing your beliefs are the standard of your existence."
"Friends are the light that shines in your window even when you close the blinds."
"Separation is what binds you to your inner soul long enough to remember who you were before someone else appeared."
"A friend is someone who will hold a chord for you while you think up a good lyric to fit the melody you haven't found yet."
Sometime in 1996:
Why are we here?
Is the sole purpose for human existence simply to compliment the existence of another, or do we each have a certain purpose that we must fulfill in order for our life to be complete.
Why is it that it’s not our will to decide what our life will become?
And what about those who do figure it out?
It seems to be God’s will that we spend a lifetime trying to find out why He has put us on this earth.
Those who are taken from us too quickly simply found their sole purpose too early.
When our place on this earth is engraved in stone, so is our name in the stone that forever marks the spot where our bodies were left.
So what about those of us who do spend our lifetime looking for our plan?
Why is it that no matter how under control life seems to be, there is someone above you with the complete links to each individual’s puzzle?
Even when we think we know where life will take us, do we really?
If we did, wouldn’t we too be taken from this earth to be rewarded with an eternal purpose?
So, we wander around as mice in a labyrinth bumping into obstacles and trying over and over again to meet our fate at the end of the right path.
Chapter 8 Test... ???
(1996)
What am I doing
Why am I here
I'd rather be somewhere else
But someone told me rules are rules
Who were these rules made for?
Not for me – they don't fit me
They're harsh and not understanding
If they were for me they'd
whisper quietly
And speak with compassionate tones
Colors and pictures would decorate
their objectives
And words would flow on like
a river
"Rules" would mean to speak
from your heart
Forget what looks good
on paper
What's the use of words
that go on with sharp edges
They stick to the brain and
defend the sympathy
They slice through creativeness
And fight for memory
So we sound impressive
to others
Rules, for me, would tell
me softly
What I should and
shouldn't do
Remember the first time
you heard a rule?
It was of soft words of
a mother.

Look at people
Feel their thoughts
See their soul
Touch their hearts
Hear their minds
Hold their fears
Carry their dreams
Take their work
Give your play
Share your possessions
When they have none
Overcome your pride
When you need theirs
Know your race
Humankind
Untitled…
1996 while sitting in class.
What are they thinking
What do they wonder
Is anyone really here
Most likely not
They're in their own world
Thinking their own thoughts
No one's listening
No one cares
We're just sitting here
Receiving credit from society
For wasting our time
In a place we don't want to be
Learning?
Probably not
Maybe if we wanted to,
but who does?
We'd rather be somewhere
we want to be
And so are our minds already
So why are we here?
Society says we have to
Society says it's good for us
But who is society?
It's not a person or a leader
Yet we all live up to this standard
this thing
this ruler
Seeing is believing, right?
Who sees society?
It is our master
But is not seen
It influences all
in every world
So here we sit
Because it's "good for us"
Yet no one knows who
We will become
Or what we will be
So how do they know
it's good for us
Maybe we don't need
what society
Thinks we should have
Maybe society should
Watch
These people
thinking
not listening
their minds elsewhere
Maybe their thinking
about what's
good for them.
