Take the subject of relationships and marriage for example. We have a marriage in which a couple falls in love and gets married. We have same-sex marriage, arranged marriage, common law relationships, open relationships, or people who prefer to remain celibate. It’s just an individual choice, there’s no right or wrong. The only wrong choice would be conforming to other’s expectations and ideals. You’re in charge, and you have the right to be you. Danny G.
The Promise (Poem)
He looked into her dying eyes,
And saw the dreadful anguish
In her eyes, at 86,
While death is staring face to face.
She said why, oh why?
Why does it have to be this way?
What’s the point of all of this?
In a state of disarray,
From watching his loved one
Passing away.
He then promised himself,
On that very day,
He would never ask that question
On his dying day,
And he would live life to the fullest,
Until his very last day,
So the questions
Would be irrelevant,
On that same day.
Follow Your Intuition Don’t Conform
How did anyone do anything great? By listening to their peers, conforming to everybody’s expectations, and accepting their environment as their only hope? Many of us are told to face reality and follow the pact. We’re told to do whatever is considered normal or expected, given the circumstances. There’s nothing for you to do other than the impositions you create yourself. Be yourself, create the life you want, and follow your intuition but don’t conform to everybody’s expectations. Danny G.
Trust Without Reason (Poem)
He asked his father,
What can I do?
It feels like check mate,
I’ve tried everything,
I feel as though,
The weight on my shoulders
Is crippling me now.
Do I lay down?
And let the current sweep me away?
And allow the weight of the tide
To pull me down?
He said to his son,
What is unwavering faith and boldness
And persevering despite doubt?
The son replied I don’t know.
His father replied,
It’s to not know,
And still believe, despite reason.
It’s to say, I don’t understand,
But father I know you have a way,
And I won’t stop nagging,
Until my promise is fulfilled,
And my mission is complete.
Politics and Contemplation (Poem)
Politics.
We don’t understand the concept of it all.
We’ll reject it or embrace it,
With nothing but a smirk on our lips.
Everyone is an enemy,
Or so we’re taught
To behave this way.
Bashing each other,
To win some contest
Of better or not.
We create havoc among each other,
Without a means to an end.
We insult, criticize,
Based solely on appearance.
We rather have the master,
That speaks tongues
And embraces himself in vain.
We choose him rather than
True values at stake.
We choose him because he’s a man,
Underestimating every women in the world.
We don’t understand the true meaning of politics.
What it can do for a nation.
We rather bash each other,
And blame,
Then contemplate our motives at stake.
Wisdom of God at Your Fingertips
Seek yourself and what you’re called to do, as nobody knows you better than you. Don’t seek outside yourself when you have the wisdom of God at your fingertips. Advice from others is good, but sooner or later we don’t agree on everything, and that’s ok because that’s what makes the world in all its facets and forms. How did anyone do anything great? Following the pact or listening to their divine wisdom? Danny G.
True Meaning of Courage (Poem)
The most courageous of them all
Is the one
Who declares his faith,
Despite appearance
Contradicting his faith.
The one who perseveres,
Despite reality pushing him down.
He seeks compassion,
Despite the cruelty
Imprinted in the world.
The most courageous of them all,
Is the one who declares I can,
Despite inferiority sneaking up.
The one who never gave in,
Or forgot who he was
And where he came from.
The most courageous one, is the one
Who got up,
Despite the pile of brick on his back.
He remained steadfast,
Despite the world shaking him up.
He seeks enlightenment,
Despite the darkness in the world.
He’s the enlightened one,
Who speaks it into being,
Then watches the universe
Manifest it into being.
Always a victor,
And never underestimating
His own power.
The Soul is Eternal
Everything we experience through our physical senses passes away with time, but everything we experience and learn from our soul, is eternal. The soul never dies, as it gathers wisdom into the physical dimension and then re-emerges into another dimension when we leave this physical plane. Danny G.
Seeking Yourself First (Poem)
I met a girl,
Confused and afraid,
She had insecurities of her own,
The most beautiful woman I met,
Yet she couldn’t see it herself,
So she went looking elsewhere.
She was always looking for love,
In all the wrong places,
Thought she would meet a man,
Then all would fall into place.
She came in and out of her relationships,
Her dignity solely on her man,
And when she looked into her eyes,
She loathed herself,
And couldn’t say, I love you as you are.
She went looking for mr right,
None of them filled the void,
Man after man,
Only reinforced, what was lurking inside.
Then on one lonely Saturday,
Feeling confused and lost,
She went by the lake,
Wanting to be alone.
She said,
Out of mere frustrations!
God!
I’ve dated every man on this planet,
Yet I cannot find one, that loves me back,
Every guy treats me like trash.
God said, love is a reflection of who you are,
They only mirror your thoughts,
So next time, seek yourself,
And Mr right will only
Reaffirm how you felt.
The Front Door is Calling Me Again (Poem)
Though the back door seems fascinating but gloomy.
My senses feel pressured to walk through.
Trying to stand my ground but I pace,
As I contemplate and rehearse my old ways.
With the front door and back door
Next to my face.
One facing my heart and the other my senses.
In two worlds with one dominating my senses.
Entering the back door once again,
With my senses at the forefront again.
Contrast and trials knocking at my door,
Asking me to reunite with my soul.
The front door so far and distant in my mind,
Though so close so distant in my mind.
I know I’ll pull through once more,
In a moment that expands to the very core.
As I stand still on a thin white line,
Letting the journey sweep me from the tide.
On another trail with mountains to the sky,
As I enter the front,
And crush the back.
My destiny is calling me again.
