Single Stuff I

If you don't stumble enough, you won't learn how to break a fall.

Not Taking Life Seriously

Incidents that were incomplete in memory,

ideas that never made to papers,

ideals that only existed in words...

I am the perfect example of imperfection.

Good times, bad times; some never recorded, some never reminded.

Gone were the winds, so were the thoughts...

Guts be it, insanity be it.

Glad those mistakes made their way into life.

Second after second, day after day, year after year,

I do, and I do the same.

Every single day that I wake up to,

I realize it's yet another day

and I'm still alive...

Another day that I'm thankful for...

For not taking life too seriously.

Seriously, life is too simple a thing to boggle about.

Life, the short little interval -

turns a lie without fun!

A pinch of hope is all it takes.

A pinch of hope is what is takes to keep going...

You see those homeless kids?
They might never have had three meals a day!
You see them when they play?
In the dirt, under the sun and while it rains?
You know what holds them strong?
Watch their eyes smile when they're happy...

Happy they are, they are in the moment
and happy they are, they have hope in their hearts...

Things would turn up alright for them
that's the hope... Amen to that.

They may face grave perils on their way, God forbid.
But their hope will keep them going...

You know what I hope?
I hope the faith in life never fades.

That tiny little belief that light their lives,
may that stay on forever...

More to it

Tiny droplets fall down.
Billions of them hit down every second!

What if they're all the souls that lived on Earth?
Coming down to visit their old homes...
Cursing us for the destruction we've caused
Wishing we're washed off of the face of this planet
Trying to drown us to cleanse the land they belonged to...

Billions of them fall down in the name of rain.
Rain, the grand melt-down. Is it just condensed vapor?

Or could there more to it?

That Makes You Human!

It's there. It's been there.
It's in us, deep within us.

It's in you. Inside of you...
Sometimes you nurture it.
And when you nurture it, you nurture it in your heart.

And no it isn't love.
Love's good, love's pure.
but then love's also got motive...
This doesn't. Its roots go longer than your veins!

I swear it isn't love.
Love's no fun when there's no getting back.
This is. It's more fun when you give it than get it...
Love's more fun when you were in love, in the past.
But so was kindergarten. Too much effort, but you forgot it!

This was fun then.
Do it now and it's fun now.
Trust me you have it inside you.
You did what you did then with heart,
You did good. It's good that you did good.
You did not have to do that. Yet you did, and did not speak of it.

You believe God knows it?
Well so he does everything else.
Your sins, he knows; you speak of it.
Trust me, I should know. I speak of mine.
You know it feels good when you do good!
You know why you do good when you aren't asked to?
Because you're hardwired to do good. You're designed with it.

Sometimes you raise it.
You raise it good, you spread it good.
And you end up great, making a difference.
But you're no different. There were others before,
and there'll be more after. But it's good there'll be more.
It is ok if that difference is short-lived. No, you are not a fool!
Fool is he, who looks to his shoulders and sees no brother, no peer.
He is that man who has no sister to wish him peace. You're not him.

You, you have compassion. Compassion makes you great, it takes you high. It makes you human!
