If you are depressed you are living in 
the past.

If you are anxious you are living in 

the future.

If you are at peace you are living in 

the present.

—Lao Tzu

MISTAKE (had to repost this:)

What a day today was as she grappled with the feelings that tied knots in the pit of her stomach
Wondering whether it was possible to surpass this present feeling of despair…
So damned she felt… soo frail and open to the wrath of the world
She focused calmly on how it happened.. and how it all began..
Puzzled as to why she ever decided to dance with control and sleep with freedom
She sighed at her lapse in judgment
The longing she felt within that made her leave behind any sense of reason and embrace naivety
Perhaps it was the slight nudge towards a fastidious result that unconsciously took over her awareness
Or maybe the ingenious idioms of her opponent as he made the solution to her problems look like fried plantain served with omelet…
Whatever the case…she was reeled in without fences….drawn in without barriers
And eventually … she was spat out with such venom that she contemplated biting back the snake that had just bitten her! Lol

READ "LITTLE BEE"

There is a shocking blindness about the treacherous reality of our world until it is unveiled through the stories of victims dealt a harsher hand than we could ever possibly imagine… their stories inform you of every aspect of our world… and shows you how partial and very limited your world really is…. It tells you how entrenched and self absorbed we are in our lives that we forget about the lives of the less fortunate… their world… and their painful experience…  sooo to bring a sense of their reality… their experiences into your world READ… “Little Bee” by Chris Cleave... your world will never be the same... trust me!
