Some thoughts, mainly random rantings. I was 23 when I started this blog, and as time goes on some thoughts will remain the same, some views may change when I am no longer the observer but actually the performer, in this play that is life. These thoughts simply reflect a bit of the chaos that plays through my mind every day as I take a moment to observe the little details that I encounter along my path.

Sleepless Nights

Where the mind resists, why then does the heart betray?
When there is thought and logic, why is it ignored, for emotion?
When experience should enlighten a decision why then is the path so dark now.
When the soul has decided to stand alone, then why keep on searching?
In the process of untying the chains of the ego, then why was this soul trapped and betrayed by the heart?
In a lost moment of bliss, away from this ego, why then does the soul succumb to the treacherous lies of the heart?
Listening to the silence, there is the premonition of a shell that will be broken.
Now waiting, I wonder is the creature inside stronger or already dead?
Isn't it so that sometimes the most difficult battles are the ones that we fight within, trying to decide what is strength and what is weakness.


When the world is crying, do we like many others maintain the middle line of apathy, or listen to it and feel with it?

The temporal can indeed create a veil between the heart and the mind (ego)...the heart knows however we need to sort the emotional needs of the ego and the unlimitted possibilities of the intuitive nature of the heart...that has always been my struggle...thank you...nice post!

'apathy' is a worldwide epidemic waiting to happen. Someof us have kept it at bay, so far. But that isn't going to hold for long unless the hearts of the frozen/ anesthesized millions start to beat once again.
Great post.
