Regain

You say I have to be the one to lift?
You say you don't know, you say you can't
imagine, colors of blue, red, yellow, what
adventure each will bring. You admit yourself
you don't know much about vitality, what it
takes for the heart to keep bleeding. Thomas
Edison found 9,999 ways not to make a lightbulb;
I'm on about 1,348 ways not to be happy. What
more could I ask for but but blacks, blues,
and chartreuse? Couldn't. Can't. It doesn't get
better than this. Anyone thinking otherwise is
missing out on the great joy of failure. My goal
is striving, seeking, finding. My end is joy,
nothing more than nothing less of elevated soul,
complete procurement of pain martyred.

Bear All

Humanity's redemption lie in the honesty behind its motives, its aspirations, its mistakes, its successes, and its failures. When humanity is honest with itself it will break though the barrier that separates man from man and from God; the true source of our progression. If we intend on sharing our lives with others, we must intend on bearing all; what we have learned as a consequence of our sojourn here on earth, in this life, in this world.

Our moving forward and upward must be the consequence of us maturing on a spiritual level that allows us to be honest with what we have learned, especially honest with what we have yet to learn.

I have so much yet to experience, so much belief to turn to knowledge, and so much knowledge to turn to wisdom. I do not regret any experience in my life for the value of learning I place on all experiences. I believe the perfection we seek in God and towards a happier life is intrinsically staked out in the lessons we encounter in life; each lesson exposing an eternal principle for what it is, exposing our desire to learn, love, grow, and forgive to move on.
