Is there a right or wrong, or are there simply better choices, that agree with our soul? Let’s acknowledge, there are many roads that lead to the same destination. We often worry about getting it wrong, making a detour, or wrong turn. The moment we get up again, our destination still remains. If we make an effort to let go and embrace the moment and opportunity to pursue our destination, we find there are many roads that lead to Rome. Let’s not make our journey more troubling, by doubting ourselves and denying our power. Let’s acknowledge many roads lead to Rome, and let’s choose the path that resonates with our soul. Danny G.
Stepping Back From the Chaos (Poem)
In the quiet of the night,
Where everything is still,
And dark
Behind the misty sky,
The world shuts down,
Stops,
And dreams,
Looks so real
As we ponder
The night-time visions
Of above,
Giving us glimpses
Of our daily thoughts
As we contemplate,
Breathe,
And Rejuvenate.
When we get up,
Like the quiet of the night,
This place of stillness,
Away from the chaos
Of today,
No distractions,
Just being,
Without contradictions,
Steering us away,
From our divine purpose
And unanswered prayers.
We find a place within,
Where all answers are within,
What was once hidden,
Is now within our reach,
As we contemplate, correlate,
And find our place,
In the chaotic world of today.
From this space of stillness,
What was once an annoyance
And disturbance,
Is now a figment,
Of our imagination,
Always was,
We just didn’t accept it
Until we stepped back,
And looked within,
The essential calling,
Of our soul.
Being Genuine
People respect an individual who’s true to themselves, not someone who teaches one thing but contradicts himself through his actions. What is living your teachings? It’s teaching happiness because you are happy. It’s teaching gratitude because you are grateful. If you know what brings happiness, gratitude, and you’re living it, then go teach it. However, if you’re not living it, teach something you know. In the meantime, work at being happy, then once you live it, you’ll teach through the clarity of your example. Invest time for yourself, and then in time you’ll be living it and well able to reach out to others. Danny G.
Face Life the Real Way (Poem)
He came into this life,
With atrocities of every kind,
As all he wanted was a life
Free of trouble
And heartache.
As he was looking for freedom,
And inner peace,
He was bound by beatings,
inferiority
And abuse.
He then reverted to alcohol,
All day and all night,
As he was looking for stillness,
And couldn’t find it at home.
He then sank into this pit,
Of self-destruction
And maze,
He couldn’t get out,
So he drank and smoked pot
To relieve the pain.
Numbness was his stillness,
Until he developed
Health problems, and this overwhelming sadness.
He was feeling empty,
All this time,
He was reverting to alcohol and drugs
To numb the pain.
Then one day,
A lady came into his life,
Loved him like no other ever did.
Taught him self-love,
How to appreciate the moment,
Finally he was happy and felt understood.
He never understood,
Why he was brought up this way,
But he knew this young lady
Was a gift from God, till this day.
He then said to himself,
No longer will I numb the pain,
From this dark cloud,
Of self-destruction and maze.
Despite the troubles,
I still see beauty in the world,
Despite its imperfections,
And I choose, to face life this way.
The Swim to Victory (Poem)
As I swim in the deep cold blue,
Beneath remains squids, sharks, stingrays
And 30 feet deep.
I stay focused on the sandy shore,
About 500 meters away,
As the current comes sweeping my way,
I gasp for air,
In these 10 feet waves,
From the shoreline grace,
Completely focused on my destiny,
Completely focused on my victory,
I’ve pulled through in my mind,
So be it in life.
As the squids try to attach,
And the sharks try to bite,
And the stingrays tries to sting,
I’ve been down this current before,
I won it in my mind,
So be it in life.
The Teacher
The teacher always presents himself at the ideal time for your ultimate best. He pushes you into uncharted territory to smooth out the rough edges. With always your best interest at heart, if you simply listen, and not push against, he will reveal to you, your true self, from your own lenses. Danny G.
Just Being (Poem)
A hot cup of java,
On a cold wintery morning,
Sipping and staring at the bay.
Watching snowflakes,
Melt on the branches,
As it drips,
Into the shadowy stream.
Glancing at the sunrise,
While the birds whistle
And sing, like a melody,
With hymns.
I feel the cool crisp air on my skin,
As I’m lost in the moment,
Without a care in the world,
Just being.
Overcoming and Thriving (Poem)
Without mountains to shake us deep,
We are merely sheep wandering in the field,
Merely existing but not living,
On flat ground as we wonder around.
No opportunities to strive for,
No burning desire to reach for,
No journey,
Merely existing, wandering around,
With no desire to strive for.
We condemn what unfolds the journey,
And condemn what creates triumph,
In this extravagant world
Of ups, downs
Falls, and triumph.
Let’s not forget
That all,
Creates the journey
The destiny,
A new awareness
Of it all.
Harmoniously With the Divine (Poem)
The more I separated from the divine,
I was clouded by the misty wall.
The misty wall was all I could see,
Without your lenses through the deep.
The more I pursue despite the lies,
I can see you and me harmoniously.
As long as you’re here with me,
There’s nothing and nowhere I cannot be.
And as long as you’re here with me,
I can just be,
Conquer mountains
In front of me.
Seeing Past the Misty Fog (Poem)
As I pull through in the misty fog,
Everywhere is blurry
But the forefront.
I put my backpack on my back,
I open it,
Let the trash drop.
One by one
The trash drops,
As I steadily gaze at the forefront,
Fully immersed on this present moment,
To bring me all I love and need,
Fully immersed on this present moment,
To unfold my path and destiny.
