Don’t ask me why I am not too big on crying these days… even when it’s a healthy release . This thread is about allowing tears Such a healthy thing .
Lee once spoke about a 15 minute wallow rule … I am
not going to time my tears 😂… Though will give myself permission to cry
For anyone else who wants to share on this topic … I wouldn’t mind your company (:
BE YOU
A poem
by Poppy:
Hope
There is HOPE
Always hope
There is BELIEF
Always belief
There is COMPASSION
Always compassion
There is LOVE
Always love
This is for YOU
This is for ME
What is hope?
A wish, a dream
An intention?
Rhythmic waves washing ashore
Into the hearts of men
Rescuing us from drowning
In our own selfishness
A soothing, comforting effect
A gift unexpected from another
Concentric circles rippling forth
Never ending from a kind deed
Returning to the sender
In a most unusual way
It is kindness in the face of despair
That gives hope to the world.
Hope And Love
Self Thoughts
Deaf thoughts
Lead the blind
To see clearly
Ears and eyes
Hear and see
False realities
Open eyes and ears
Hear and see
Hearts wisdom
HOPE and LOVE
BE YOU
Poppy Poetry
Let it go!
Hurt, disappointment, life ever changing
Dreams lost, family’s fractured
Realization of mortality
Fear, self-doubt creeps into reality
Your essence, core challenged, judged
By Most Very Important Persons
Crapped out!
Flick on the switch to your heart
Look into your soul
No one can smell the bouquet
Or comprehend the beauty
That is you!
Unyielding belief, faith in God
Doing simple unexpected acts
Offering just a thing
To unlock what you have hidden
Happiness resides
In great influence on
One individual
Just one!
The fact is
Millions sing your praise
You just don’t know it
Let it go!
Opportunity Awaits
Sun rising
Sleepy eyes
Opening
A new day
Dawns
Up and and atom
Nucleus surrounded
Electrons dancing
What a challenge
To create
A most beautiful
You
Spirit flowing
Fully recharged
Enriching lives
As you go
What a wonderful day!
Leap of Faith
Step right up
Outside of yourself
To where you’ve never been
The first step is the hardest
With or without a friend
A leap of faith is hardest
And scariest of all
You never know if
You’ll land or take a sudden fall
One thing for sure
If you freeze in place
You’ll go nowhere at all.

Connectedness, inclusiveness, community
Positive inclusiveness is
Your greatest strength
Challenging others
To release
Their thoughts
Building community
In all you do
Connectedness
Resonates in
Us all.

I Love You
A soft cool breeze
Blankets me from the
Mid-day sun
A shady Old tree
Props me up
As I sit and ponder
A lifetime of thoughts
Flood my mind
People, places, events
Bubble to the top
and gently glide
Down into my
Brain’s boiling pot
So much in a lifetime
Evaporates into air
But solid, friendships endure the pressure
Of life and time
They reside in the
Forefront of your
Most caring thoughts
Crossing energy
to and from each
Eternal respect
At every turn
Most time we spend
Not quite uttering
Heart felt words
We hem and haw
And dance around
But never say,
I love you!
Friendship
There is nothing like a friend
An understanding ear to listen
In the equation, there is no judgment
Honest caring, wishing the best
Longing for a way
To make things pleasant
Impossible to cure
Comforting words
Sometimes sounding hollow
What can be done?
There is no way
To right the ship
Titanic events
I will hold your friendship
In my heart
To the bottom of the ocean
And back again.
Giving
When we give to others
All we have to give
We strangely find
There is so much more
As days, months, years pass
Our hearts begin to burst
We find scattered parts
Ourselves have exploded…
Our heart bleeds for those we love
Yet still we leave us out
We grow old and tired
Some of us die a little every day
Never realizing how to love
The most important of us all
Ourselves
Kindness
As I look into your heart
I see compassion
As I look into my heart
I see thoughtfulness
As I look into your heart
I see friendship
As I look into my heart
I see understanding
As I look into your heart
I see graciousness
As I look into my heart
I see gentleness
As I look into your heart
I see tenderness
As I look into my heart
I see courtesy
As I look into your heart
I see tolerance
As I look into my heart
I see patience
As I look into your heart
I see kindness and love
As I look into my heart
I see love and kindness
Healing”
I am so very tired
My body heals from the day
My mind drifts into the cosmos
Words cannot describe
Breathing, I must breathe
To open my heart
To healing love and light.
Heart Talk
My heart is talking
Whispering in my ear
Screaming to me
Love, just love
Pour it out
Spill it
Drip it from your eyes
Let it flow
Infect love to everyone
Especially to those
Who have a hurt
Smear love salve
On their wounds
Heal by touching their heart
Place a smile in their hurt
Wrap bandages of kindness
Upon their heart
The miracle of giving
Of yourself is the key
To quiet your heart
Do this and your heart
Will be at peace
Resulting in happiness
BE YOU
More from
Poppy
There comes a time in your life when you totally realize and accept yourself. To be your authentic self. It is liberating. It is a hard but simple formula to follow in three steps:
1. Let go of the past.
2. Do not live in the future
3. Give today your best.
TIME
The past is unchangeable
The future does not yet exist
Today is my best day ever
Time moves forward
Second by second
It's time you have
Time past is unchangeable
Future time does not exist
Breath by breath
Heart beat by heart beat
Is the present
I am me
You are you
The same and ever changing, us
Accepting what is
Allowing Source
To fill uncertainty
Of being
Liberating authentic self
Instantly here
And gone
And here again
And gone
And here...
BE YOU
"We do not have a fear
of the unknown.
What we fear is
giving up the known."
~ Anthony de Mello
BE YOU
