Artichoke Values

I feel like my values are like an artichoke.
Over time the outer leaves fall away.
What was once important is no longer.
Slowly but surely what's left is the heart.

Snail

I'm a snail
Continuously trying
To come out of my shell...

Romantic Diagram?

Is romantic love like a Venn Diagram???

Within

No matter what I do, it has to come from within, even those things that affect those around me.  I have to take more responsibility for my own actions or inactions.  I have to see my own part in all that transpires, no matter how painful it is to look in the mirror.

How To Love

Open a Sacred Space
For Another Person
To be All-That-They-Are
In That Very Precious Moment

A Better Means of Connection and Influence?

Sharing inner experience and showing others what I see, instead of preaching to the world...

Fear and Light

Locked away in comfort
Paranoid by perceived offense
My light begins to dim
Accusing others of sin
