Read MoreLove Yourself – Grandly
… that love is the center and the core of everything, and that Self is the place where all love must begin. Those who love others grandly are those who love themselves grandly. Those who have a high toleration and acceptance of others are those who have a high toleration and acceptance of themselves. You cannot show another a part of you that you cannot show yourself.

I look forward to the moment beauty is my own conceived easily like yellow dipped trees, a lazy dog the afternoon pillow of a lover’s chest when beauty is memorized and not a plea taken at the face value of Hollywood What is beauty anyway, but a shoulder to count on when others can’t see me in visual context it is perfect complexity, me entirely rather than in pieces of cheekbone, lip,...
Read MoreI release …
I release my parents from the feeling that they have already failed me. I release my children from the need to bring pride to me; that they may write their own ways according to their hearts, that whisper all the time in their ears.

Read MoreThe Fool in Me
“I must learn to love the fool in me — the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness,...

If it’s not yet obvious to you, the real reason for this, and all seasons, is you. A more perfect child of the Universe has never lived.
