Why?
Why?
Why are we here?
It’s a question I’ve often pondered.
Many wonder if life has meaning at all.
No one’s ever came back to tell us otherwise.
Often we never get anywhere.
Many times too late, we’re already there.
Perhaps we have everything right here, or not.
Will we ever even know?
Life is truly a journey.
Why then does it feel as though I’m caged?
That I’m running in cirlces, going no where fast.
I see in others, what I see in myself.
Why then, do I not see this flower?
Even though, it’s right under my nose.
Struggling to reach the top, just to get a bit of light.
Only to fade away when winters frost comes.
Then I realize, that the meaning of life has always been here.
Right under my nose, just waiting to be seen.
To live, to grow, to die, to be reborn again.
Is it that simple?
Why did this not click before?
Just like the flower, growth takes time.
Time that there isn’t much of.
That is why we’re reborn again.
Until we learn what we need.

Nothing to Lose – Nothing to Gain
Have you ever sat there on the sidelines and just watched something happen? Perhaps you’re watching it for enjoyment, or perhaps you’re watching it to learn something? Either way, many people have sat on the sidelines of life and just watched. But, most of the time it’s for a short period of time. What happens when someone has the time to sit there for years and just watch life pass them by?
That was me for the longest time, I just sat there and watched life pass me by. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “Just One More vs Tomorrow?” I was the Tomorrow guy, always made sure that I had other things to do. My interest kept me busy, and these interest ranged from: Video Games, Culture, Food, Technology, Music, Youtube. Yep, I wasted away a lot of time on the web. Heck, I still do, but at least this time, I’m moving towards a goal.
Social media has had an impact in my life like nothing else has. Sharing my poetry and my blog post with others has giving me something to look forward to. When you have people adding you to their list of favorite poets, there is something there. It means that you have a way with words. I’ve been told that I have the greatest ability to say so much with so little. In fact, easy/simple poetry is often some times the hardest to write, because you’re trying to find the right word to fit in the equation.
My best poems though always come out right then and there. No time wasted writing, no time wasted thinking. It’s just there in a matter of a few minutes or less. Some say that’s a gift with words, others say it’s a gift of thought. Perhaps my imagination is much more than it seems.
When you’ve been sitting on the sidelines for a while, you have time to think, you have time to reflect. How much time do you have to do that in any given day? This down time, has given rise to many thoughts and ideas. While some of them are farfetched, others are golden gems ready to be plucked. Perhaps it’s time for us to set aside time, for time’s sake?
Poets and Writers aren’t smart because we were born smart. It’s because we’ve had the time to muse and think about things no one has dared to think about. All throughout my life, I’ve had very few friends. I could count all my friends at any given time, on my right hand alone. In fact, right now in life, I really only have one proper friend and that’s my cousin. I think it’s about time I changed that.
The world is a big place, lots of things to see and do. There are people to meet and food to taste. If there is one thing I’ve learned through Social Media and Empire Avenue, it’s that you have to be a “Just One More” kind of person to get ahead. I choose to be that One More. Just tonight, I was debating with a friend whether or not I should create a community forum. With her encouraging me too be that Just One More, I created that Forum tonight. It’s not public yet because I have a few things to add to it, but it’s there.
Now, there’s just one more thing I have to do tonight before I log. I’ve got to at least add one new video to my Youtube channel. You can find my Youtube channel below. Perhaps together we can all be that “Just One More” person that we all should be.
Many people assume that they have “Nothing to Lose and Nothing to Gain.” In fact, You have “Everything to Lose and Everything to Gain.” When you stop being you, you stop seeing with your eyes. When you sit on the sidelines, you learn to see again. When you stop procrastinating, you become someone you never thought you would. Join me today and Start Living.
Spontaneous Healing #1
Spontaneous Healing is a book about people miraculously healing. Many of the stories in the book are from people that were nearly dead, or should be dead today. There are also tips and advice in the book for people who want to seek alternative paths to healing. Rather than the modern methods.
In 1974 Kristen was 19 years old. She was living with friends in Hawaii when she came down with an illness. It all started with the sign of a Bruise that mysteriously showed up on her leg. When the iron supplements that the Doctor suggested failed to produce results, they did some blood work.
She was eventually diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, a condition where the Bone Marrow doesn’t produce Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, or Platelets. This is very bad for the system because it weakens your immune system. In other words, you’re much more susceptible to infections and viral attacks.
The bad part about this? The Doctors ended up giving her Immunosuppressive drugs. They also gave her something to keep her from having periods, so she wouldn’t have children. Why? The body was at risk of internal bleeding and damage. Not a good time to get pregnant.
Needless to say, the Doctors ended up not being able to help her. In other words, she was sent home to die, with support and aid from the Doctors. That alone wasn’t enough for Kristen, she wanted to live. She was bound and determined to live.
She managed to find a couple of Psychic Healers to work with over the time and also talked to a Nutritionist, that was a Certified Naturopathic Doctor. By changing her diet, and getting help from the healers, she was able to overcome her sickness.
Even despite the fact that she’s not supposed to be able to have children, she now have 4 children that she’s raising today. All because she didn’t give up, because she wanted to live. Her immune system is back to normal and she’s living a happy life.
I will be sharing other stories of similar backgrounds that come from this book. Not all of them, but a good portion of them. I’ll be posting them as I read them. The beauty of the Human Body is the fact that it can take care of itself. Let’s start taking care of ourselves so we can heal.

Happy New Year!
This is just a quick post to wish you all a Happy New Year.
New Years Resolutions are being made or have been made. I’d rather not make New Years Resolutions. Why? Simple really, most of the time we don’t keep them anyway.
What’s my plan? To set some goals throughout the year and take action. Rather than make a Resolution that I’m not likely to do anyway, I’ll just plan out my yearly goals and work towards them.
For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, here is my 2012 New Years Resolution List made by Gaye Crispin. It’s in reference to the image below.
