What do you see?

Look around you. What do you see? Who do you associate with? Are they helping you to achieve your goals? Do they uplift you? How do they treat you? 

Do they hurt you? Did a drain your energy? Are they always takers you give, you give,you give constantly to them, but they do not give back to you. Did they take from you do you give to them, to only have them go into your face and insult to you? Did a say you don't do anything for them? If so the question becomes why are you still around them? If they cannot respect you if they cannot do a simple thank you the question still becomes why are you still around them? 

If they cannot appreciate anything you do for them, if they cannot understand the fact that you need love as well, if they can understand the simplest part about you, then the question still becomes why are you still around them?

If they hit you, beat you, insult you, if they go on tangents baby only bring negativity to you, the question is still why are you around them?

No matter what they say, no matter what they do, these people are the ones who bring negativity to you to give you the struggles in your life. They put the complications into your life. This is your life you do not need to have more complications. The complications you have now are all just illusions, these delusions are fueled by them. 

We find ourselves in heartache because of them. I find myself now looking at them and see why are you around me? I can love you, but you cannot be around me. All the heart ache all the pain that is brought to me is because I have allowed these people around me. They play with your thoughts, they play with your motions, they play with you love, they play with your soul.

You might love them, but you have to let them go. There is a time and a day where you have to cut the cord and let the negative energy go. Your life has to be an needs to be fulfilled and blessed. If you continue to allow negative people into your world you will not have to fulfill life that you are destined to have if you allow people like that into your world you will miss you will not be able to see what you can fully do. So the question becomes again who do you surround yourself with? Who do you associate with? And why are you still around them?

Thank you

Without their endurance, and struggles, 
without their love and passion,
without their will to live and sacrifice,
without their knowledge, and exploration,
without their teaching, and learning,
without their joy and happiness,
without their sadness and sorrow,
without their history, and future,
without their life and death,
without them we would not even exist. 
Thank you to all who came before us. 
To all the ancestors who made this path, for us and the future generations, possible, thank you.

The Last Time

We locked eyes, tears began to fill up, a smile came across our faces, and we embraced each other again. “I love you.” Whispered out from deep in my soul, a reply, “I love you too.”  This moment in time, I did not want to let go, I didn't want to leave her arms, I did not want to leave her.  I knew once I let go, this will be the final time. This would be the last time I get to do this at the space we were at; the first time I have ever seen her.

The place was Parish Gallery, in Georgetown Washington, DC. Run by Norman Parish, the gallery had been there for more than 20 years, and this year it closed its doors, due to the passing of Norman earlier this year.

I had found myself wondering, thinking about the last time I had hugged Mr. and Mrs. Parish. Thinking of the last time I had gotten my chance to do so.  It had brought me to this moment, to remember the last time I hugged Mrs. Parish, tears in my eyes, praying this will never end. The last hug was on the last day, the last time I could say goodbye to the gallery. I miss them both right now. I wish I could hug them again. 

We choose the path that we walk on

THOUGHT OF CHANGE

Changing thought is more than just saying it into existence. It also includes working on it daily, every hour and every minute It’s not an instant overnight change, but a gradual change, each moment, adding to that change so it becomes a habit. Once it’s there you will end up having moments of questioning how did you manage life before the habit. I am having that change now, with the thought of being successful with doing the follow-thru and being consistent and staying determined to be on the right path. I know it is a difficult road, but it’s a road that needs to be taken, that should have promising adventures at each turn.
