Peace, Peace, Peace
My muscles are tense. My breathes are exaggerated and heavy. There is pressure on my shoulders and neck like someone is pushing down on them. I feel constrained. These is how I feel stress or uncomfortable situations.
I felt very uncomfortable the other day when I was talking to an old friend at a coffee shop because we had a disagreement several months ago and have not really talked much...

Love In Stereo: 7900 Miles →
From Memphis, TN to Addis Ababa, Ethiopa it’s roughly 7,900 miles.
That’s also the distance between the Osburn family and their little girl.
It has been estimated that over 149 million children are orphaned across the world in this global crisis. Amidst this overwhelming statistic there are…
Do it! They are an awesome family! Plus, Wade is probably the funniest librarian you will...

Peace Is A Choice: Millstone or Stepping Stone? →
Today I have been thinking a lot about regrets I have about my life, regrets that range the gamut of things I wish I had done-to things I wish I hadn’t done. What has been running through my mind though is conversations with other people the past few days that also seem to be thinking about…

Tell how someone feels by their breathing
Have you ever felt like you could tell how someone is feeling just by how they are breathing?
I’m sitting down, listening to the sounds around me. The sound of breathing catches my ear. The person takes in a long deep breath. But a moment passes before the exhale. Its almost like the sound of an old timey train releasing the steam but very quaint. The breathing is off beat. They are...

Love all people. Everyone’s character and dignity is worth the same. We are all equal. Let’s restore the character of those in poverty with love not just with money.

Snow.
The snow still hides in a mysterious place, but it slowly concedes back to the sky into its case.

Awareness.
So I’ve mostly just sat around for the last couple of day except for the 2 times I got out. One of them I went to the bottom of the hill and it took me 9 times before I could get back up. The other I helped a friend move a couch. Anyways…

I never realized how many things in life are attained merely by awareness. I think this is true of knowledge because as we become aware of...
Wrote another song tonight called “Deep Pockets.”

Use only what you need
Share the rest
So many others to feed
Let them be your guest
All have a niche in this world.
Hate cannot be dissolved with hate; it only breeds more hate. But Love can transform hate; it is the changing force and happiness.
Names.
Names are not just names, there are people behind those names. A person with a story, life, and history. And they are another to love.
Knowledge.
Knowledge is built by recognitions.
“So if you catch yourself thinking it has changed
for the best you better second...”

All have the power.
I believe everyone has the power, a power, or some kind of power. We can do more than what we really imagine. A part of power is a state of peace and tranquility. It is something that is very difficult to comprehend.
.
How do we access our power? I don’t really know. But when we feel our minds, hearts, and souls with the negative or the anti-Nature, it strips us of pureness and our...

Perception.
Here is part of a song that a wrote back in the summer.
Expectation demands conformity
Lets stay unique
Events happen
Not my expectations
Theres an advantage
in every happening
Perception makes us hide
but can reveal our best
Perception can be positive or negative. It can change how you approach something, react, and the outcome. It can literally change who you are.
No resolution but a good idea for the future.
Most of the time I tend to despise following the crowd; therefore, I shy away from New Year’s resolutions. After-all, I can create one ten days later or in the middle of a hot, high-humidity summer in the south, or another wherever and whenever.
Anyways, I was with a group of friends and we were talking about things we’d like to move towards in our every day lives. Its easy to...
