    THOUGHTS (by Dee)

    Thoughts

     

    the way of life

    when filtered through love

    emreges as an eternal quest

    to elevate the mind

    body and spirit

     

    anger neutralizes defiance

    for defiance is the will

    to not be moved

    while anger moves one

    towards commiting acts 

    of thoughtless defiance

     

    the ways of men

    are not essential in ones quest

    to become a man

    rather

    a man must find his way

    or be subjugated by the ways

    of men

     

    when the wants of the heart

    overrule the needs of the mind

    one will mindlessly search for need

    and be left wanting

     

    speech is the least significant form

    of communication

    for it is what one does not say

    that speaks volumes

    therefore

    listen to the silence of a man

    before his speech over takes

    his true intent

     

    love is not a free standing structure

    its survival is based upon the foundation

    of devotion

    dignity

    trust

    honor

    and spirituality

     

     

    it is what it is 

    only if what  was

    is not  relavent 

    now

     

    never keep your friends close

    and your enemies closer

    for if you can peer into your enemies eyes

    he is much too close

    and you will be a victim

    of his bad intentions

     

    spirituality is not a religion

    rather

    religion is a by product 

    of mans attempts to discover

    his spiritual being

    spirituality is a river

    that flows uninterrupted

    and through nautural grace 

    creates new channels of inner thought

    while

    religion is a river damned

    that though it can and will provide

    positive energy

    the usage of that energy 

    is incumbent upon the 

    interpretation of man
