Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Forgiveness, a weighty task

For those who've wronged us in the past

But still we try, with hope in heart

To move beyond the pain and start

My parents, who split before my eyes

Left me with questions, without goodbyes

My father, distant, rarely near

A stranger to me, throughout the years

My children's mother, she took flight

Left me alone, in the dead of night

Accusations hurled, lies abound

My world shattered, my heart unbound

My family, they turned away

Disowned me, left me in dismay

And at school, just a young child

Pushed down, teased, left hurt inside.

My ex, who played a cruel game

Lied to me, with no sense of shame

In love with someone new, I learned

But falsely blamed, my fate was turned

The bullies who laughed at my legs

The one who smashed a bottle on my head

And those who broke my bones, so true

I forgive them all, what else can I do?

For in forgiveness, there is strength

It frees the soul, it takes the length

Of pain and anger, hurt and fear

And turns it into love, so clear

So I forgive, and I let go

Of all the pain, the hurt, the woe

For life is short, and time flies fast

And in forgiveness, we find peace at last.

20 Life Lessons for the Brave and Bold

For my children

20 Life Lessons for the Brave and Bold

From J.K. Rowling's pen, I bring to you,

Twenty lessons that will help to see you through.

Nobody cares, but don't you despair,

Embrace who you are, and show that you care.

The more you give, the more you'll receive,

So set your sights high, and always believe.

No act of kindness is ever too small,

For the ocean of life embraces us all.

No work is beneath you, that's for sure,

So get your hands dirty, and keep your heart pure.

Start meditating, find peace in your mind,

And your thoughts and your actions will be more aligned.

Don't be afraid to take risks, to be bold,

For the timid and shy will never grow old.

Don't make decisions when notions run high,

Take time to consider; let your emotions subside.

Be patient and persistent, keep your head high,

And your spirit will soar, like the birds in the sky.

You don't need to impress everyone you meet,

Just be true to yourself, and your goals will be sweet.

Listen to learn and your mind will grow,

With knowledge and wisdom that will surely flow.

Enrich your thoughts, don't let them remain,

Stagnant and still, like a train without a lane.

Don't take the easy road, it's not worth the cost,

For the path that is challenging is where you'll find the most.

Start reading books, they're a treasure trove,

Of knowledge and wisdom, that will help you to grow.

Respect others as you would respect yourself,

And your life will be filled with joy and with wealth.

Narrow down your focus bit by bit,

And your goals will be clear, you'll have a plan, you'll be fit.

You quit, you lose, you fail, that's a fact,

So put your best foot forward, and give it your best crack.

Don't bother what other people think or say,

Just be true to yourself, and your goals will not sway.

Learn something new every day, it's the key,

To a life that is filled with possibility.

Don't make assumptions, they can lead you astray,

Just open your eyes, and your mind will pave the way.

Believe in yourself, that's the final key,

To unlock the door to your destiny.

With these lessons in mind, you'll go far,

And shine like the moon and the brightest star.

The Mystery Of The Moon

Let's talk about the moon. We've all seen it, we all know what it looks like. But have you ever stopped to consider how strange it really is?

For one thing, the moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth to create the conditions for life to thrive. It helps to stabilise our planet's rotation and maintain its climate. But what's even more intriguing is the fact that the moon seems to be resonating like a bell.

That's right, you heard me. The moon appears to be vibrating at a specific frequency, almost as if it's hollow. And that's not the only unusual thing about it. The moon is made up of a unique combination of materials that don't match anything else in our solar system. And its orbit is also very precise, almost as if it was intentionally placed there.

Now, the current theory is that the moon formed from debris left over after a giant impact between the Earth and another object. And that's a plausible theory, certainly. But there are holes in that theory. For one thing, the materials that make up the moon are very different from what we would expect from such a collision. And the moon's precise orbit is also difficult to explain using the current theory.

So, what if there's more to the story? What if the moon is actually the product of an extraterrestrial civilization? Maybe it was deliberately placed in orbit around the Earth for a reason. Maybe it was created to stabilise our planet and make it habitable. Maybe it was even designed to send us a message.

I'm not saying that's definitely the case, of course. But it's worth considering the possibility. Let's keep exploring the mysteries of the universe and keep an open mind about what we might discover. Who knows what other secrets are waiting to be uncovered?

 

A View From The Tree Stump

With walls climbing high and ivy so fair,

Our chance meeting happened at the library without a care.

Her polka-dot dress and French sandals with ease,

Embodying the English rose, she swayed in the gentle breeze.

Her beauty not a fleeting glance could grasp,

It grew with each moment, as if given a second chance to last.

Her heart and soul, the most precious of all,

Worth more to me than any gem or hall.

With hazel eyes that shone, and lips of cherry red,

Her hair and cheekbones finely bred.

That she liked me, I could hardly believe,

But grateful for our love, forever to perceive.

In denim shorts and converse boots on our feet,

We left the town's noise for a sanctuary complete.

Birds and crickets filled the air with their sound,

My heart beating fast, the only noise I found.

The orange blossom scent followed us all the way,

A fragrance of love that blossomed that day.

As we looked at the graves and talked our worries away,

I knew in my heart that this was where I wanted to stay.

Eating sandwiches and crisps, drinking Vimto, too,

Our senses entwined with a love so true.

The setting sun painted the sky with gold,

A moment of love that we'll forever hold.

She was the sunrise that lit up my day,

The moon that guided me in every way.

In her, I found my sanctuary of love,

A place where the heart finds peace like a dove.

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself - A Review

I recently finished reading "Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer, and I have to say, it's a remarkable book. As someone who has been through some tough times, I was looking for something to help me regain my sense of self, and this book did just that.

The author explores the idea of our inner voice and how it can impact our emotions and overall well-being. He provides insights on how to detach ourselves from the constant chatter in our minds, which is a skill that I have found invaluable in dealing with my own struggles.

I found this book particularly helpful following a difficult breakup. Although Singer doesn't specifically discuss relationships, his philosophy around finding happiness within ourselves instead of relying on others has given me the strength to move forward. And while I won't go into details, let's just say it has been transformative.

The book isn't always an easy read, but it's worth persevering with. It's a thought-provoking, powerful read that has reinvigorated me in a way that I haven't felt for a long time. It's given me the tools to work on my inner self and take control of my thoughts and emotions.

I highly recommend "Untethered Soul" to anyone who is searching for a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. This book has helped me to rediscover a sense of joy and hope that I thought was lost. It's a game-changer.
