Mystique

There is a story told by young children who live curious lives, that are always playing strange games. It is about their past imaginings as animals of a most wonderful world. A world where there is no sorrow, grief and pain. All they know is how to have fun with each other.

Jungles, leopards, and panthers come alive in my rain forest.. When the boy across the street comes over to play, everything in my house changes. The walls become trees hung with vines. The furniture becomes moss-covered rocks. Tables become caves and the corners become our dens.

He was always a black panther; I was usually a leopard or a cheetah. And when my brother would play he’d want to be a panther too. We would climb in and on things, hide and growl ferociously. Then my mother would come down to the basement, and tell us to stop destroying her house. When she left, the dark, mysterious jungle, full of little animals would come back to life.

'mazy Mind

Why is it that we as humans are always filling our amazing minds with negative thoughts? There is so much good in the world, why focus on the bad?

Our minds are powerful enough they can fool themselves. If we always criticize ourselves, we will begin to believe what we tell our mind. We must be so careful to guard our minds from a world that is continually trying to degrade who we are. Though it may seem odd, I believe we should compliment ourselves often. Feed yourself with positive ideas, and feel good about yourself. Life is tough, we need all the encouragement we can get.

We must also stop apologizing to the world for who we are. Why hate yourself? Wouldn’t life be better, if we went through it loving ourselves, as who we are? Develop some self-confidence people! Do not just learn to live with yourself, love learning who you are; and be proud of whom you find!

Incredible people around us did not become incredible on accident, without any effort. No, they first knew they could be great. They believed in themselves, when no one else did.

Let us all believe in ourselves. Let’s go through life with a friend, instead of foe. I hope we all love and believe in ourselves.

Saran Wrap

You can never find the perfect kind
It's either too sticky and sticks to itself
Or it's not sticky enough and never works

You can never tear it just right
Don’t rip too slow or it will stretch
Can’t rip too fast either or it wont be straight

You should never use Saran Wrap
It doesn’t work because it’s stupid
Just use foil -a tip from me

Drive Home

I was very relieved to leave work today. Don't get me wrong; I love my job, and my co-workers, but I can only take so many 'One-hit wonders'. On my way home today, as I was listening to my 'Beatles' tape, I found the opportunity for an experiment. Driving down a two-lane road, the light ahead turned yellow, then red. In the lane next to me, a young man in a black Mercury swerved in front of me, around a stopped silver Sunfire, and through the solid red light. As I slowly came to a stop next to the Sunfire, I noticed the elderly couple in the car, they were obviously very upset about Mr. Mercury; and were probably saying something like "Dumb kids these days; they have no brains or patience". The woman, in particular, had quite a deep scowl on her face as she held her Chihuahua. Then, came my idea. I tried to catch her eye, and when I did, I grinned my biggest smile! Mrs. Sunfire first looked startled to see the neighboring car smiling at her, but then her face lit-up like a bulb. She grinned back, then looked forward still glowing. Wow, I wonder if her opinion of dumb teens was altered, or her day brightened; I sure hope so.

To My Sisterly

Life made us sisters
Love made us friends
Through all of life's twisters
All through the tough bends

After all the rough times
We are still going strong
Together our minds rhyme
The words of life's song

Please forgive me when we fight
I feel so much shame
I know I'm not in the right
I’ll take all the blame

I will love you ‘till the end
Hand in hand as Best friends

Words of our Language

Have you ever noticed that words are astonishingly like people? Every person is so different and unique; just like words. Words have characters, almost like personalities. They shift (as people do) their conduct with their company.

Our minds are trying to give word-form to the world surrounding us. We are endlessly studying, seeking for just the right word to use. We judge people, as we do words. They may not be the right shape or size. They may say too much or too little. They are too bold or too weak, too cruel or too kind. Acquiring a vocabulary can help us find the missing pieces to the puzzle.
