The Secret of Love

Love. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear that word? Anger? Romance? Enjoyment? Our emotions are automatically triggered, faulting our judgment at the very moment it crosses our mind.

In today's society of television and the Internet, life is exaggerated to its greatest extent. When you wake up in the morning and turn on the TV, what's on? Some soup opera about a steamy romance gone wrong. In the afternoon, we see talk shows about a woman who has cheated on her husband and doesn't know who her baby's father is. Then, in the evening we see either an out of shape husband with a super model wife who never get along or a nighttime drama about men and women having flings.

The answer is not simple. After years of watching television, movies, and reading books, we are tainted with false-truths which distort our thinking. Once we find someone, we never stop wondering whether this person is cheating or if they are real.

We don't! We let our lives be our lives and not let our minds get in the way. We try to realize that television is just television and the Internet is just the Internet. Just because Sally Jane's husband is cheating on her doesn't mean that your boyfriend is doing the same. Not all men are the same, no matter what your mother told you. And sorry guys, but not all women are the same either.

Love is everywhere! It's at the grocery store, at the gym, even at the gas station. There isn't a set time or place where love happens.

Just because you believed you met the perfect person, then later find you don't match doesn't mean you are a bad person or that you should give up. In fact, check it off as a learning experience. The more bad relationships you have the more you grow as a person; you start to learn more about what your likes and dislikes and how to find out more.

I've never had the chance

To kiss your beautiful lips

To hold you tight all day

To run my fingers through your hair

Or talk to you till the sun comes up

My mind says this won't be so

But my heart knows different

Someday I will do these wonderful things

And never let you go

No matter how long it takes

No matter how many tears it makes

I will see youKiss you

And hold you

Until the end of time

Forgiven

Saw you held

encircled

by pulses of the past

coming like a knife

with a point to make

over and over

You were blind in there

unable to forget

heavy as horses held

at the starting gate

Then light

sent speeding

straight out

tape falling,

free racing

Wings open

almost unbearable

being forgiven

The Lesson Of The Butterfly

Come, my child, come learn the lesson of the butterfly.
The lesson of the butterfly is the heartbeat
of freedom and life.
Come quietly now here, sit on this log in the glen.
Sh-h-h-h, quietly now, be still, don't move.
There, there he is, soaring on the summer breeze.
Bright wings flashing in the sunlight.
see with what glory he flies.
Joyfully sailing on a wisp of wind.
Ever onward ever free.

For love of you

Hand in Hand

Together

Let us immerse ourseelves in love

We are true beauty

أريد أن يقف على الجبال معكم

اريد ان الاستحمام في المحيط معكم

، اريد ان تضع في القاعده معك حتى السماء تقع على الارض...

بلادى كل يجرى تصبح اكثر اشراقا وأنت تمشي في الغرفة ، ودقات قلبي بعنف وتسارع النبض مع بلدي فرحان الفرح... كل ذلك لمحبة لكم

Dear Mr. President

"Dear Mr. President"

(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President,

Come take a walk with me.

Let's pretend we're just two people and

You're not better than me.

I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?

Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?

What do you feel when you look in the mirror?

Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

How do you walk with your head held high?

Can you even look me in the eye

And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,

Were you a lonely boy?

Are you a lonely boy?

Are you a lonely boy?

How can you say

No child is left behind?

We're not dumb and we're not blind.

They're all sitting in your cells

While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?

And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?

I can only imagine what the first lady has to say

You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

How do you walk with your head held high?

Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Minimum wage with a baby on the way

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Building a bed out of a cardboard box

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Hard work

Hard work

You don't know nothing 'bout hard work

Hard work

Hard work

Oh

How do you sleep at night?

How do you walk with your head held high?

Dear Mr. President,

You'd never take a walk with me.

Would you?

To You

Grow old along with me

The best is yet to be

When our time has come

We will be as one

God bless our love

God bless our love

Grow old along with me

Two branches of one tree

Face the setting sun

When the day is done

God bless our love

God bless our love

Spending our lives together

Man and wife together

World without end

World without end

Grow old along with me

Whatever fate decrees

We will see it through

For our love is true

God bless our love

God bless our love

love you

I LOVE YOU MY ALL...PLEASE UNDERSTAND ME.

You Are Me

You are me and I am you.

It is obvious that we are inter-are.

You cultivate the flower in yourself

so that I will be beautiful.

I transform the garbage in myself

so that you do not have to suffer.

I support you

you support me.

I am here to bring you peace

you are here to bring me joy.

- Thich Naht Hahn
