Wake Up

Poem: Wake Up

By Liam

My power to forgive

Tore down those fortresses, your castles of protection.

This epiphany of ultimate strength

Is my liberation from self-destruction.

For I’ve become accustomed to being alone.

Truly, unexpectedly, the immature shattered,

The me that mattered emerged,

Perhaps a little shaky,

Perhaps a tad unsure.

I recognized the moment was mine, not yours.

“You, you,” you said,

“I’d die!”

God!!! Thanks be, for true I did.

Not what you imagined—though! No.

I discovered behind the insecurity of immaturity,

A beautiful new stranger,

Who but me!

Naked, filled with identity, truth, light & love.

In death,

Transmutation turns to transcendence.

This is beyond the insignificance of your little egotistical theater.

Grow up, brother!

Grow up, sister!

For your time of insignificance is also over.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake the heck up!

Nostalgia

What makes you feel nostalgic?

Nostalgia, a sentimental yearning for the past triggered by memories of specific events, places, or experiences, involves a mix of positive emotions often accompanied by a sense of loss or yearning.

Its influence on temperament is diverse:

Emotional Well-being: By evoking positive emotions tied to happy memories, nostalgia contributes to an overall positive temperament.

Stability: Revisiting nostalgic memories provides a sense of stability and continuity, fostering a balanced and grounded temperament.

Reflection: Nostalgia involves reflecting on personal growth and the passage of time, fostering a more introspective temperament and increased self-awareness.

Comfort: Nostalgic memories offer comfort and familiarity, potentially contributing to a more relaxed and content temperament, especially during challenging times.

Resilience: Drawing on positive memories enhances resilience, providing a psychological buffer and fostering a more resilient temperament when facing difficulties.

However, excessive nostalgia or dwelling solely on the past can potentially hinder personal growth and adaptability. Striking a balance between cherishing past experiences and embracing the present moment is crucial for a well-rounded temperament. Liam

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

Building positive and supportive relationships involves effective communication, empathy, and mutual respect. Open and honest communication is crucial, where both partners share thoughts and feelings while actively listening to each other. Empathy plays a significant role – understanding your partner’s perspective and validating their feelings fosters a caring atmosphere. Treat your partner with respect, appreciating their individuality, and embrace differences. Trust, built on honesty and reliability, forms the foundation of a healthy relationship. Spend quality time together engaging in meaningful activities to create lasting memories. Establish and respect boundaries to ensure each person’s comfort and autonomy. Express gratitude for your partner, and focus on finding constructive solutions during conflicts rather than placing blame. Align on common goals and values, working together towards shared aspirations. Relationships evolve, so be adaptable to changes and move together, embracing the journey of mutual growth. Liam simply love ❤️

Seeking Silence

Poetry: Seeking Silence

by Liam

For it’s in the stillness, a symphony does reside,

A tapestry of insights, where answers do confide.

Yes, stop your weaving, yet embrace the tranquil air,

And witness now, how silence refines your every affair.

In the cadence of existence, it’s not mere words or verse,

The blink of an angel’s eyelash , a rhythm is immersed.

Within the pause of punctuation, your realization unfurls,

Melody and meaning, through the empty space, it swirls.

We discover deep within us, born in this tranquil place .

That which underlies our understandings grace,

A quietude of magnificence how peace thus found is heard.

Fly swift white dove to find us all, who seek their own true words.

Political Views

How have your political views changed over time?

Changing political opinions can be driven by evolving perspectives, new information, or a reassessment of values. It’s not mandatory, but being open to reconsidering your views allows for personal growth, adaptation to societal changes, and a more nuanced understanding of complex issues. Flexibility in political thinking can help ensure that your views align with your evolving beliefs and the dynamic nature of the world around you. Liam

MG

What is your all time favorite automobile?

In the 1960s and 1970s, MG (Morris Garages) Motor, based in England, continued its legacy of producing sporty and affordable cars. During this period, MG was renowned for its two-seater sports cars, particularly the MG MGB, which became an iconic model. The MGB was introduced in the early 1960s and gained immense popularity for its sleek design, enjoyable driving experience, and relatively affordable price.

MG cars from this era were characterized by a classic British roadster style, emphasizing a perfect balance between performance and style. The brand was associated with the idea of accessible sports cars, attracting enthusiasts who sought a dynamic driving experience without breaking the bank. For these reasons, I always have been and still am a great MG enthusiast, Liam.

Poetry: Let’s Find Love

Poetry: Let’s Find Love

by Liam

I’ve looked for Love since the beginning,

These pieces, each a part of the find,

Found in a puzzle called living,

Lost to my memory and mind.

Hidden for all to discover,

Written for all to read,

Spoken for all to listen,

Is pain that I sometimes bleed.

Cast off my dark cloak of fire,

I’ll ride through the darkness of doubts,

Burn too, I’ll with your desire,

Upon clouds, my soul screams and shouts.

My eyes,

My words,

My hearing,

Understanding stands too in my way.

For alone it’s love which is waiting,

On a rainbow to meet me today.

The Light of Christmas 🎄

Poetry: The Light of Naserith

by Liam

Many, the stars at night have been

Yet on this night, so bright was seen

A star ⭐️, a stable, manger small

Which shone from him, down to us all

The Shepard’s, Kings and those too who hear

A lamb was born from God on high

A babe in a manger did softly cried

While Mary, Joseph in awe did sing, songs of praise

With angels wings upon heavens gate

Rejoice with spheres of cosmic love

A choir of angels from heaven above

“He, is born to all this day,

He, will show mankind the way

Of peace, of love, of humble faith.”

Let’s open the gate of who we are

Receive the gift from Gods son afar

Shared this moment for ever more

Let in the light, open your door .
