"What if our religion was each other?
If our practice was our life?
If prayer was our words?
What if the Temple was the Earth?
If forests were our church?
If holy water—the rivers, lakes and oceans?
What if meditation was our relationships?
If the Teacher was life?
If wisdom was self-knowledge?
If love was the center of our being" -GW

Stupid Choices are not to be forgotten

These are memories of how we can change

The bad decisions don’t make us rotten

When we make a weird choice we aren’t strange


Choices are part of personality

People always choose different things

Who we are isn’t always banality

We each pull at our own puppeteer strings

 

Part of who we are is the bad and good

We aren’t just one side and that should be known

WE think to act bad is bad in childhood

But the truth is no one rests on some throne


We are not what our decisions may seem

Everyone is their own person and I, ME

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
