About Dreams

They come alive
Before we know it

(LONDON) - From the womb of agony

Dreams are born

Sweet and pure

We nourish and groom And watch them grow

Intertwined!

The more deeply you look at the visible... The closer you become to seeing the invisible

(LONDON) - How could one be spiritual
Without being saturated in love?
It’s impossible

How would one experience love
Without being spiritual to the core?
It’s not possible

Hurray ! Hurray ! ~ Once again it’s May Day !!!

(LOS ANGELES) - Far, far away...
Where the sun shines away…
Paramount desires of the public, lay…

One day in reaching them,
They certainly may…
Endure obstacles, all along the way,
At times causing a gaze to sway,

Thank you Lina

This little Lina only months ago
Had a soldier’s gun
Pointing against her head

(LONDON) - When I visited my friend, we sat to watch the news together with her little girl Lina, who surprised us with her wisdom and compassion.

Six-year-old Lina, Sitting with her mum In her world of dreams, Watching news...

President Obama Calls Jason Collins

Doesn't President Obama really know what courage is? It seems his priorities are way off.

(CLEVELAND) - Jason Collins, NBA player and Stanford graduate, recently announced that he is gay, more power to him. But President Obama cited his courage.

You are God`s Masterpiece

Beware, don’t be distracted by signs on the way, they’re only means to get you by, don’t mistake them for your aim, otherwise; your harvest will merely be big disappointments and flat empty dreams...

(LONDON) - Yes… you
Those magical eyes

When you’re happy smiling
And even when you cry

`Benchmark`

Wars are fought on the battlefield, not at the beach, nor in the park, Whether you lead or follow make sure victory sets the, "Benchmark."

(CLEVELAND) - “A standard by which something can be measured or judged,” When on that premise under no circumstance will you budge,

Measured according to certain standards in order to compare, However, not by just arriving first class but to keep you there.

Of Forgiveness, Justice and Peace

People who are taught to forgive are the abused, those who are wronged in the first place, they are generally the passive, meek and good-natured.

(LONDON) - Forgiveness is not a one way street, just like love, forgiveness is an act of between two; the forgiver is the giver, the forgiven is the receiver to-be-given.

No matter how much willing the forgiver might be to forgive, his/her gift cannot be felt, sensed or received if the forgiven-to-be is not ready to receive.
