Profound Thoughts

The future is at hand... It has so much to offer so never tire of waiting. Never lose sight of its promise for one day it will descend on you the least moment you expect it to happen... Though oblivious from afar,the tides of change are on their way to surely reach your shores... Welcome it for it will dictate a path towards a future for you to take partake...

Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear I will be here If in the dark, we lose sight of love Hold my hand, and have no fear 'Cause I will be here I will be here When you feel like being quiet When you need to speak your mind I will listen And I will be here When the laughter turns to cryin' Through the winning, losing and trying We'll be together I will be here Tomorrow morning, if you wake up And the future is unclear I will be here Just as sure as seasons were made for change Our lifetimes were made for these years So I will be here I will be here And you can cry on my shoulder When the mirror tells us we're older I will hold you And I will be here To watch you grow in beauty And tell you all the things you are to me I will be here I will be true to the promise I have made To you and to the One who gave you to me Tomorrow morning, if you wake up And the sun does not appear I will be here Oh, I will be here ~ Steven Curtis Chapman

If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away Just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then Again, I would spend them with you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go through time with If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty except for the memory Of how they were answered by you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do once you find them I've looked around enough to know That you're the one I want to go through time with ~ Jim Croce

Everyone of us would carry our moments differently... the color, the shape, the feeling... They are all different depending on our intentions and our use of them.  But these stretch of moments will soon hatch into a memory. By remembering, it balances us wholly from the head, to the heart... It will continue to affect us with the way we speak, talk and live... Our memories cannot be defined for they have already defined what we are.... Seize and experience life as it happens... Override your fears and stop dragging around the unfulfilled dreams of yesterday...  Take a shot at life and make beautiful memories...

Every night, as I lie on my bed        peace descends to fill my being   Allowing myself to soundly sleep        keeping worries and fears at bay Innocence might have left me...        feigning ignorance as an escape Having gone and wandered afar            as harrowing realities overwhelm Yet you never thought of leaving           From womb until the current days    Your watchful glance has kept me           not to lose thine self and fall apart        Never tire, never lose your patience       to a foolhardy that is me...

Even while we sit waiting, intimations of a new dawn are beginning to cut through our darkness. Trouble, violence and uncertainty will surely fade when light cuts through the clouds for dawn promises many things. A brighter future than we thought possible… After every evening, the blood - red sun rises. It's rays cause us to pulse with renewed life… The land awakens for a new day has come. It is time to rejoice for after a taste of a loss, we arise to embrace life once more…

Never lose sight on what is right and never put anyone above another.... Smile, no matter how tired we may be.  We all have our failures and unmet expectations.  We just all try to keep doing our very best… Don’t be afraid to shake hands or give hugs or to practically trip just to say hi. Smile when acknowledged. Cry when being needed. Giving more, taking less. Pulling together, staying close to each other’s hearts. Never be afraid…t o show love…

Each second of a moment sets the sails of my journey....  Life is always good and so are the infinitely-stretched moments though some are seemingly worse, but are actually best if we only embrace and allow them to eloquently touch upon us a ripple of experience. The key is to accept the rawness of life, only to see all the best... graciously unfolding in every moment.... ~from a dear friend...

A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly... ~Pablo Neruda

Our existence occupies a niche in the space-time. Though many will supplant themselves on that very same space, they can never erase our presence in that very fabric of space and time. There is always a time for everyone... We are all fleeting souls so we must venture to as many places as we can and live the experience. It is not necessary for us to leave a concrete mark for the grace of our presence spontaneously etched a mark in that fabric our existence is intertwined...

Great men will ultimately meet their fate like dust before the wind... How to keep that greatness alive in the annals of history, its memory intact in the vestiges of the past, remains to be seen with the passage of time... How it will be translated to a tangible legacy that can effect a change or a lasting impression depends on the value of that meaningful existence... Its persistence over time comes with the deep sentient truths it possess which will remain as such  despite the ending of an era... the beginning of a new epoch...

We don't need to have the same opinion on everything... For everyone, understanding others is a difficult thing to do... But we can always seek a common ground... Something we can agree on....

When I was lonely, I was afraid of going out... I did not even think of doing something about it... So, I probably did not notice many things... Things that could have made an impact to the life I currently lead somehow...

Sometimes we want to get involved in other people's lives, b ecause we see a part of ourselves in them... We try to get close, get friendly, but then comes a point when we become too comfortable... It is where things begin to fall apart for things get muddled... When all that we ever really wanted, was just to talk...

Every moment, a single stroke drawn on a parchment almost half-done. I dip my brush on the rainbow’s bow, the color set by the heart. Tints of radiance, the rhythm of the blues, the changing hues When I’m down, I sail with the clouds, the colors subdued... From time to time, I embrace the sun and let it guide my way The brightly lit, the soft pastels, meaningful encounters... From dawn to dusk, the colors do change, until darkness claims it all As I reflect on all the things that came my way, I look at the canvass and I discover more of myself  with each new day...

I spent half my life  Looking for the reasons things must change. And half my life trying to make them stay the same. But love would fade like summer into fall; All that I could see was a mystery, It made no sense at all. The will of the wind, you feel it and then, It will pass you blowing steady. It comes and it goes, and God only knows, You must keep your sails on ready. So when it begins, get all that you can; You must befriend the will of the wind. I spent so many hours Thinking about the way things might have been. And so many hours trying to bring the good times back again. And so it goes for lonely heated fools; They let their days slip away, Until they give into... the will of the wind... ~ Jim Photoglo

Reflecting, trying to make sense of things for life is both crazy and beautiful... We create a picture of our self the way how we want it to be drawn in our lives.. There are a lot of things we do not know. We are continually trying to figure things out.. We look for the answers in other people... Pitiably we wait so that we can be either rescued or comforted from emotional upheavals that come our way... For unless we are already at peace with ourselves, the answers to our questions shall forever remain elusive...

Over there, just beneath the moon There's a man with a burden to keep No sleep will fall washouts rags 'n' paperbags Home and life passing by Who will see the beauty in your life And who will be there to hear you when you call Who will see the madness in your life And who will be there to catch you if you fall Now dreams run wild, as lovers find their way Through the night, not a care in the world And over there, the twinkling of the lights Harbor lights say goodnight one more time ~ Fra Lippo Lippi

If you close down the way to your own path,  it will always find a way to open up... Don't hold back. Step unto the pathway and keep on going...  Nothing is going to happen if you do nothing  and shut yourself out... There will be new encounters. Meet them up. Express yourself. Go with the flow and make new connections... The wind feels better when you're on the outside...

I'm taking time to find where I belong For all these years I think I've lost my heart I must have left it without me knowing At an unpeculiar place, I've lost track with I must go back to that place and time Scouring through my memories, I can't tell Why have I thoughtlessly left my old self For now I think I am living half empty As I keep on reaching far out to my past Along the way I see my bits and pieces I pick it up, its essence flow inside me I am still in a daze, I cannot understand Going back, I don't know where to start Too much memories, suppressed emotions Built in layers on top of a vulnerable heart I must take it back, and be my whole self...  Once more...

In a world of strife and violence, it is always a joy to have a moment of hope and beauty...

When you are set on a path to rediscovering yourself, sometimes it is necessary for you to let go... To let go of your personal attachments... To shy away from the usual places you frequent... To create distance from those you usually indulge your time with... To put an end to the usual habits and clandestine depravities... To temporarily sever ties and disappear without a trace... To be free from all personal baggage in anticipation of a new life... To usher in fresh encounters... To make new connections and to know which bonds will hold steadfastly... To be able to understand yourself more to make the most of what we possess... The remaining time we have in our lives...

To know what needs to be expressed and  to have the will to see things through... To discern what the world wants to hear  and to arrange how it can be heard... To bring everyone to listen to the ensemble  that is written inside your heart... To play your own sound then  letting your inner voice sing out for everybody to listen... To let the notes pick up in tempo,  to aim even higher and ascend without limits...

I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a great warm welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be I'I will find my way, I can go the distance ll be there someday, if I can be strong I know every mile, will be worth my while I would go almost anywhere to feel like I belong Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years, would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't c...

The past leads you to an uncertain world... A world of endless possibilities and infinite outcomes.  Countless choices define our fate, each choice, each moment,  a ripple in the river of time... Enough ripples to change the tide...  For the future is never truly set in stone... ~X-Men: Days of Future Past

Just because someone stumbles and loses their way  does not mean they are lost forever... If it is pain you are afraid of... Unendurable as it may be, pain will make you strong.  Feel it, embrace it... It will make you more powerful than you ever imagined because  the greatest gift you have is to bear their  pain without breaking,  it will become a more assuring power...  Hope... ~Charles Xavier

It is impossible to explain... the sense of fulfillment you get when you put your thoughts into writing... It is an experience that can't be described by words. It is like a melody passing swiftly through you, speaking through a pen.  A magical feeling that can't be explained like a storm coming out from nowhere, like a blossoming flower, like our transient existence... I just know that when it happens... it seems I am under a spell... an inspiration...

Tell me his name I want to know The way he looks And where you go I need to see his face I need to understand Why you and I came to an end Tell me again I want to hear Who broke my faith in all these years Who lays with you at night While I'm here all alone Remembering when I was your own I let you go I let you fly Why do I keep on asking why I let you go Now that I found A way to keep somehow More than a broken vow Tell me the words I never said Show me the tears you never shed Give me the touch That one you promised to be mine Or has it vanished for all time I close my eyes And dream of you and I And then I realize There's more to love than only bitterness and lies I close my eyes I'd give away my soul To hold you once again And never let this promise end I let you go I let you fly Now that I know I’m asking why I let you go Now that I found A way to keep somehow More than a broken vow ~ Lara Fabian

I long to be surrounded by beauty... even for once in a while... To walk on a velvet field full of purples, violets and greens... with patches of the remaining colors of the spectrum in its midst... To see an endless stretch of beauty and life... To indulge in its raw power, a feast to the eyes that have seen too much hurt and pain in this life... To reinvigorate the spent faculties and absorb its vitality to fill me to my brim... I will pluck a flower or two... for the night... So that by the time I get home, I will still have something left to admire. I will let it preserve the absorbed vitality from that velvet field of beauty as I sleep through remainder of the night...

Everything is so fragile... There is so much conflict, so much pain... You keep waiting for the dust to settle and then you realize this is it; the dust is your life going on. If happiness comes along, that weird, unbearable delight.  Grab it while you can. You take what you can get, because it is only here for a fleeting moment, and then...  It will be gone...

At a loss for words... This harrowing day has somehow taken a toll on me. I want to slip back into my sanctuary and just stay there until the sun would claim me once more... I feel weary. Silence is my only companion. I don't want to feel. I don't want to do anything.I just want to rest and lie on my bed of serenity where nothing reigns supreme except my soul. I want to go back to my roots and implant myself on bare earth and live without a care in the world.  Let a humble flower grow in my former stead. Let it be caressed by the wind... Let the world admire its splendid honesty...

We recite a pool of unspoken words,  swirling around as our paths meet,  wishing they would reach your ears,  of what that's buried heavy in me. Never will I ever get the courage,  to look through in thy windows,  as my world comes to a halt,  the moment your presence nears. Mysterious as it may appear,  till this day no clue or whatsoever,  its hard to take my step aback now,  as I didn't leave any trace ever. Vision that plays the role well,  could only engulf you from far,  in this endless game of passion,  I have nothing but all those seconds.  The burden that hangs in me,  leaves an unbearable pain all day,  no matter how i advice myself,  my heart always ends up in dismay.  The spell that have upon me,  may be gone one merry day,  but the memories that lived in me,  fail it may never to haunt me. ~Not me

I close my eyes... Now I am in a space in the middle of a celestial dome on a twilight, the horizon's edges seems distant and indistinct... I am alone... The incessant sound of the torrential downpour deafens me. However, it does not unnerve my spirit... It pacifies me. As it falls, no dry earth remains.  A melodious sound from pan-pipes breaks through the cacophony of raindrops. Its poignant music evokes feelings of peace and contentment. Its notes waft through the air, enveloping me in its calming tendrils. I feel like I am lone in a desolate forest, so vibrant and green, so cool and fresh, the visibility from afar is clouded in mists...  The deafening sound of the rain has been transformed into a raging river... white squalls and bubbling eddies at the periphery of the exposed rocks... I am tempted to wade through it if only it were not a figment of my imagination...

A dream that is maintained by hope and faith alone is very weak... If like magic, once it touches a real human body, the spell will break and it will disappear.  It is such a fragile thing. How long can you keep it until it leaves your sight...  a blink of the eye... a snowflake...

Just when you think Hope is lost And giving up Is all you got, Blue turns black, Your confidence is cracked, There seems no turning back from here Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations That's when you can build a bridge of light, That's what turns the wrongs all right That's when you can't give up the fight That's when love turns nighttime into day, That's when loneliness goes away, That's why you gotta be strong tonight, Only love can build us a bridge of light When your feet are made of stone You're convinced that you're all alone Look at the stars instead of the dark You'll find your heart shines like the sun Let's not let our anger get us lost And the need to be right comes at way too high a cost That's when love can build a bridge of light That's what turns the wrongs all right That's when you know it's worth the fight That's when love turns n...

Even in maturity, there comes a time when we ask an innocent question... By the time we utter those words which ends in a question mark, little do we know that it would initiate a chain of events that would lead us to an answer... But, the answer we seek may not come right away.  Sometimes, it may take the remaining part of our lives until we find the response. It may have taken too long that we may have even forgotten if we ever asked at all. It is actually endurable than to have never found the answer to that innocent question we asked at some point in our lives... The answer that we seek may not be what we have expected it to be. It may appear as  an inconspicuous sign, a hazy dream or a salient truth.  Ask, there is no harm in asking... Patience, it may take time... 

Make way for something new in your life... Experience teaches us a lot of things. For wisdom always comes with experience. But sometimes experience limits our choices, we become restrained. We only focus on what is inside the box and discard whatever is at the extremes. We experience a drought of ideas and ultimately lose out to innovation. For everything constantly changes, indifference and inaction yields to irrelevance and obsolescence .  Step out while the sun is still not out. Clear your thoughts and don't worry too much. Smell the placid air and delve into freshness and let it renew you... It will give you new perspective to things and makes you wiser. Wisdom comes not only with experience. It also comes from  a fresh new wave of untested ideas.

Louder is the tree that falls, than the forest that grows... ~Pope Francis

Sometimes, I get angry. Sometimes, I get depressed... But before I knew it, everything calms down and I get used to those honest feelings.This is what I really am... I will take the next step with courage, and that one step will change me. With a little ounce of courage, the shape of my heart will change, so does the shape of my future... and it will be for the better... In that resplendent future, my heart will become stronger. I will become stronger, as I draw unto myself the meaning and purpose of my life...

Don't close your heart, open your eyes and look... Don't sink into darkness, believe in your own strength... Dispel the darkness and call upon the light... The future is not set in stone, open the door... You have a heart that can give birth to dreams... You have bonds that must never be lost... You have a lot of things that you have to protect... Believe in yourself and give shape to the future you wish for...

The world is the image that has been created by people's hearts... People's hearts are the mirrors of the world... The future is a person's face, the past his back...  When they become one, it is called the heart... Stand in front of the mirror and look at the image reflected on it... What is reflected will be you, or more specifically your heart... Face your reflection in the mirror, come to know it and  learn to accept your own heart... When you come to understand and accept your own reflection,  you are one step closer to knowing the shape of your heart...

When you allow yourself to feel, your heart resonates to a certain wavelength of your psyche. When you indulge in that feeling, your heart attunes to the harmony of the wave, its crests and its depths, the crescendos and diminuendos... But when you encounter an impulse incited by an external stimulus, the wave oscillates unpredictably such that if you fail to hold on you may find yourself hanging by a sliver of thread... If you want to linger in that moment much longer, restore the balance of emotions... Remember the feelings, wishes and dreams when you were in harmony with the music played by your heart...
