April PAD Challenge Day 6

Don't follow the dictations of society;
instead follow the beatings of your own heart.

Don’t follow the dictations of society, as you’ll
find yourself in a dark abyss so deep that all else
seems hopeless.

Don’t follow the dark melody of scarcity, you’ll
find yourself buried deep within your own misery.
Don’t follow ego or you’ll end up an endless maze
with no exit.

When sight is colored only in black and white, listen
to your heart. Color will bled through and you’ll start
to live life to the fullest. You will see joy where there
once despair.

You’ll feel love where hatred resided. Hope will blossom
on a plane that was barren wasteland. Light will chase
away the shadows of doubt to replace it with faith in the
impossible.

Stand strong when other thinks you are crazy. Face fear
with love when others would coward. While others are
doing what is expect of them. You are creating the reality
you want to live.

Live life to the fullest, experience the wonders of miracles,
love unconditional and know that you are not alone in this
world. We are all one on a much deeper lever than we can
understand.

April PAD Challenge Day 5

In a sea of nothingness,
A sense of awareness can be found.

In a void of shadows where no path can be seen,
A path is constructed from love and light.

In a world driven by the ego's dictations,
the voices of the higher self sing to be heard.

April PAD Challenge Day 4

Our friendship blossom over a decades
and over three sets of seasonal changes. We
shared in happy moments and secrets that I
trusted to no other.

Only to see you turn you’re back to me when
faced with truth and reality. Fear gripped you
tightly. I sought only comfort and support but
instead receive cold words of programming.

I walked a fine line that day with friendship
that was so delicate like a frozen lake with
cracks on the surface uncertain when it would
give way beneath my feet.

The trust was delicate enough that it shattered
under the pressure of others and the lack of
reaching out to help your fellow man in need.

The rope broke, I fell into a lake of desolation
only for the ice to break apart and I sunk into the
cold waters. I floated in the murky depths of a
nightmare.

I numbly tried to swim up to the surface but the
grip of betrayal held me tight until one day I
broke away and was greeted by the warmth of
unconditional acceptance.

The waters that once held me down, suffocating me
released me and I broke the surface with a new sense
of life and passion. To never look back on those dark
days and embrace what it is to live, truly live.

April PAD Challenge Day 3

The world would be a quiet place,
with no laughter and outrageous
thoughts. No fresh perspectives
to force others to think outside
of the box. One less individual
and one less voice to touch the
heart of others where it really
matters.

April PAD Challenge Day 2

Beneath a sea of gray clouds,
I find joy in the knowledge of
at being one with everything.

April PAD Challenge Day 1

Clawing and pulling clumps of dirt as
I climbed up the mountain side, the path
unseen, clouded by anger and resentment.

Lies and fears society manipulated me to try
to keep me from the true path. Light shone
brightly at the top of the mountain urging me
forward.

Urging me to reach for the truth despite the
uncertain that brewed with my heart. I let
instinct take over and found that what was
one took effort now became effortless.

I was given a rope, a life line to the top,
but the climb seem never ending and at
times I thought I show the light dim as
doubt stirred beneath my breast.

Persistence keep me going until I reached
the top, I felt warmth and safe enveloped me.
I lay there with the embrace of this essences and
I knew that my journey was not over.

I rose to my feet and look before me at the beauty of
lush forest and amongst the tall ancient trees lay a path
that of twist and turns. I look over the edge of the
mountain to find myself staring into an abyss of
darkness.

A chasm of dark history that beckoned my back into its
embrace and it sang of victimhood and lifelessness.
Behind me was only desolation and death. Before me
stood a world of wonder and miracles, a voice called to me.

Beyond the woods spoke a voice of guidance and unity.
I stepped towards the path with secure footing, the past
howled to me to stop. But its screams fell silent in the
face of divinity true essence of unconditional love.

I now walk the path where I am not alone. A path in which
I meet with great mentors and teachers that help me grow with
each step I take. Friendships help me to learn of the laughter and
love. Experiences that help me evolve into a better person every day,
in hopes to become that closer to my higher purpose.
