Sail Away

There is this place I want to show you…

It will take a few months, or so, to get there.

We must take a boat, for we can only reach it by way of the sea, as there is no other way to find this special place.

You will see, it will be grand, we will have an adventure, just wait and see.

We will look over to the land, as we take the to the water, hand in hand, to find our special place, on the sea, aboard Harmony.

You and me, we can do it all.

You and me, we will see it all.

You and me, we will be so happy at sea.

There won’t be a sky that we won’t sleep under, or a star we don’t look to, for our map as we sail away, on the wide open sea.

The sea may rage, we may face storms, but we will find peace and Serenity onboard Harmony.

Who knows how long we will be, it may take longer than a few months, we may be sailing for years to come.

Storms may take us off course, or we may have to stop on some islands for more resources, but we will be okay, because we will have each other and Harmony will keep us safe.

We may miss our friends and family who remain back on land, but there is so much for us to explore, we might just need to take our time, for the land will always be there, yet the time to explore is now.

What is time without an adventure to spend it on.

What is life without some freedom to explore.

This life is the only life we have, and it’s time that we go and see the world, from the eyes of a captain, on a boat called Harmony.

Let’s take this voyage, and navigate the sea.

We will have a compass and plenty of things we may need.

There will be no worries, except for what Mother Nature might bring.

It’s going to be the best, an adventure of a lifetime.

You and me, I just know, we can live in harmony, on the open sea.

Bench

The Bench

Let’s sit together on a bench, in the marina, by the sea.

We can wait for the sunset, as the seagulls fly by, searching for their next snack left by some passersby.

It might get chilly, but we can sip on some red wine and feel the warmth it brings as we sit there, in the Seabreeze.

I want to sit with you, cuddled up, as the day floats by.

We will hear the ship horns and the waves, as the day turns to dusk.

We can smell the salty air, as the Seabreeze blows by.

There will be a bit of chatter from the seamen and the boats, but we will just listen to it all in silence, as we enjoy our closeness and the warmth of the wine as we find peace in the breeze and a joy in the way the day comes to an end, on a bench by the sea.

There are only so many days that we can find time to sit and enjoy such a peaceful time as this.

I hope we can come back for another time, or two, but if we don’t at least we had this one time, to enjoy the simple silence and the chatter, the Seabreeze, seaguls and the life on the marina, on a bench by the sea.

What is Love…

What is Love

We seek out love, from the beginning of our entrance into this earthly life experience.

But what is love, really?

Why do we seek it out?

Why do we allow so much pain and trauma to come, and accept poor treatment, in our search for love?

There are different types of love, also, which we can get all mashed up, and we can expect a lot from others, in our seeking of love.

We tend to seek love from others to solve our problems.

We think being in love and in a relationship will fix our world (not the whole world, just our world, the one only we exists in).

So we bring someone in, hoping they will be the answer.

Hoping they will validate us, cure us, save us, but what we really need is our own love.

We seek love for protection.

Love seems to be the answer for our need for safety.

We seek it for acceptance.

We think that this love will mean we will be accepted as we are and for who we are.

This is true, but not everyone is able to accept us, nor are we always able to fully accept ourselves.

We hope that love will fulfill us and help us feel whole.

This is a false idealization of love, given to us through the media and through others who also have the false belief of this.

Love cannot make us whole, only if it is love from ourselves to ourselves.

That self-love, self-validation is pretty important and it is way more necessary than we are shown through our life experiences.

We think that love will solve all of our problems.

Well, love can solve many problems, but only the right kind of love can help with this, most specifically, self-love.

Romantic love is not going to solve many problems for us, though.

It can actually cause more harm than good, if one of the involved parties is not in a healthy place of being able to be a receptor of this type of relationship, or of one is seeking more, or has the hopes it will turn into something more permanent and fulfilling than just romance.

Loving others, seeing their truth, accepting them, being kind, loving yourself, being kind to yourself, treating others the way you would like to be treated, treating yourself as you would like others to treat you, finding ways to validate yourself, creating your own sense of safety and protection… this is the gift that love brings.

It creates a space for peace and an opening for learning how to find it, by creating it and allowing it.

We can seek love, we can give love…

Romantic love will not solve as many problems as platonic or self-love.

Self-love and self-realization is the real key to solving our problems and understanding how to exist in this world, the one where we are alone in and the one that we all share.

Find yourself and find your key to your questions of validation.

Find yourself and understand you are the one you have been seeking.

Look within and find the love you have been seeking from others.

You are a magnificent being.

You deserve love.

You deserve peace.

You deserve acceptance.

You deserve safety, protection and most of all, you deserve love.

Not just any love, a healthy love for yourself.

One that will last for your entire earthly experience and beyond.

Sending you love and good intentions for your journey.

Love you all and wish you well on this beautiful experience.

Following your Dreams

Trust the Process

I Choose Me

I’ve loved so many

But I didn’t love me

Neither did they,

Though they did say,

They didn’t show me,

So they drifted away.

I choose me,

For so long I have chosen everyone else.

So many men,

Even a women,

Just so many,

I’d rather not say.

It’s time to be here for me.

It’s time to focus on loving me.

I choose me and that’s okay.

You may see me and want to change me,

But I am fully taken,

I am taken by me.
