There’s A Strength

There’s a strength….

It’s there… on the outside…

The strength you have when….

Your surrounded by supporters…

The strength you have when…

Your in the depth of conversation…

That strength that rises with excitement…

Welling up inside you….

That strength you feel that grows with the thoughts of a new journey…..

When your loved ones say…..it’s okay…

Follow your dreams….

That’s the strength you need…

When your all alone ….

When your having that weak moment….

The Strength you need to pull you back up…

So that in each moment…

You can be strong…

Without a doubt…

On the inside and out…..

That Strength you want to stay…

Because it’s going to be okay….

Love & Light

Words and Emotions

Feelings lead to words…

The emotions carried within them….

When spoken take another form….

As they are passed on they form changes…

The feeling that once was…

Becomes mixed in translation….

Creating confusion….

Anger and hurt….

Separation is infinite…. 

Feelings felt…

Transformed into words…

Passed on into translations…

Confusion begins…. 

Then all becomes lost…

In a mixture of words and emotions…..

Never to be the same again…..

In Your Shadow

New beginnings..

Bonds begin to grow…

Still some how being in your shadow….

Dancing around each day…

Through the weeks and months…

Still some how being in your shadow…

Helpful hands to unburden…

The load lightens …

Going with the flow….

Still some how being in your shadow….

Recognition…not known…

Intentions…thoughts…

Set ….then let go….

I for one and I for none…

This is not the way it’s done…

Never room for more than one ….

Always being in your shadow….

In the end the heart is aching…

Unnoticed…taken for granted…

Unseen …..for the truth is empty….

One for one.. never more…

Can never be…

When,.. In your Shadow…....

It is hard living in someones shadow. When you feel that you were a special part of their life and it turns out you weren’t that special at all. Then you realize all that you did for them meant nothing. As if what you did became unnoticed or unrecognized because it really didn’t mean to them what it did to you. You felt so good about it, felt like you a big part of something and then one day the reality comes forward showing you that you weren’t. That can hurt but you let it go as you hold on to the pieces that are left. Feeling sad that they cannot see what they have done, because you were always, in their shadow!!

Some lessons are quick and some are long, it’s all a matter of what our journey has in store for us. Now that you have learnt from it you can create it in another form by wishing for someone more equal and less one sided. We do create and bring people into our lives with our thoughts and dreams. Now to bring in someone(s) that’s right for you ❤

Grey and White

Grey and White …

Which do you choose..

For it is found…

Within you…

Energy drawn out..

The shade is grey..

You are falling astray…

White looses shimmer..

Grey is much, much dimmer…

Churning within…

The season takes hold…

As withering pieces…

Of new turn old…

Surround you in shadow…

Grey covers white…

Weary you are…

No strength to fight….

Changes among you..

Directions to choose… 

White is the way…

Choose wisely you say…

Grey is dreary .

Dark and sad…

Ohh the choices …

You’re going mad!!!!

Grey and White is all you’ll ever have!!

~TMB~

Choosing our own path can be complicated when we battle with the changing of seasons, the energy around us and when sickness comes to us or those around us. We can choose to follow the grey and hold the shadow around us or to choose the white that is clear, open and welcoming.  We fight within to see the positive but get bombarded by the negative. My days can be filled with choices, many it seems and constant battle between Grey and White!! Which one wins….is up to me!! I hope you choose to win!!

FORGIVNESS

Relationships of all forms can be challenging. We have no trouble expressing our love and caring for one another in most cases. Giving thanks in the form of a hug, a smile and even a kiss on the cheek. This is the common way to express love and gratitude to the ones we love. As a child I was raised that way and I raised my children in the same way. My friendships I treat in the same matter because I love and have compassion for all of my relationships. This doesn’t mean that everyone is like that in their relationships. Whether it be family or friends some of us have a hard time expressing love in that way.  A hug can be foreign to many that have never felt love or have been shown compassion from others. It does not matter where we are from because love is the same in every part of the world.

On the other hand we have anger and again, we have no trouble expressing this emotion in our relationships. Some relationships people express the love and the anger with no problem. Why shouldn’t they? These emotions go hand in hand when you share space with others. We are all so different in our expectations that sometimes we agree but disagree. Many of us can show self control with the anger we may carry towards another and then some over express this towards their loved one causing deep hurt. Both parties suffer by feeling unloved and cared for by the other. With both love and anger we can loose the vision of what the other person really means to us because we let that emotion control the true feeling within. 

At some point there is going to be resentment towards the one that either loved or angered too much. We as humans can hold on to this feeling for an entire life time. Taking away from our own peace and even that of others. Undeserving of feeling this way or carrying such a burden. When we cannot express love or anger to the ones we care so much about in our lives. When we struggle so much for the words but cannot seem to find them. We loose ourselves in the process and forget as time passes why we have continued to hold resentment for so long. We allow this to control our present lives knowing we should let go of the past. 

Instead of living in a tunnel by only seeing what we feel and not seeing that relationships take team work.  We take part in the matters of the heart just as much as the others do. I would like to see the relationships in others heal as well as some of my own. What a difference it would make for many if there was a way to do this without the confrontation so many of us worry about. This is why there is so much strain and suffering on our relationships. The unspoken words can fester and spoil years of happiness in our relationships. 

Enough sadness and  sorrow. Let there be love and joy. Expand the love we feel in our hearts and find a way to heal those that have held on to these burdens!

There is a way! I shall start and you may follow, if you choose to.

(include the name of your loved one in this prayer)

Love and Blessings to you and yours,

XO, Tonya
