Pretty and Smart

Smart girls can rule the world, the really can do anything.
Pretty girls can attract the eye of the entire world without saying a word.
Beautiful girls are both pretty and smart.

A poem inspired by all the beautiful women who are hiding their true intelligence. Let it shine. Pretty is only skin deep.

Dipping My Toes in the Dharma

Dipping My Toes in the Dharma

Stumbling out of the thick forest brush
I happen upon a river bank
Freedom can be seen in the distance 
Standing on the shore
straining to see the other side
I dip my toes in the pool
The water is warm and inviting
Clear waters, cleaning the mind
Venturing further from the shore
I am drifting away 

from a reflection of who I was before
I am swimming now
The water purifies and refreshes
washing away my imperfections
as I strain to reach the other shore

Dharma doors, gates are open

I seek them along the way

dipping my toes in cool water

till I reach the other shore

Dark Clouds

I love him so much. He gets me in ways that no-one else can, and yet he still doesn't get me. . . I don't even get me sometimes.
How foolish we are, expecting each other to understand deeply seeded emotions that we ourselves hardly know and recognize as our own.
Untangling Indra's net. . . Deeply reflecting.

We cannot shed light on one another without first pointing that light inward, where shadows and monsters lurk.
So dark. . . Emotional scars, twisting through the walls of our mind's like storm clouds blocking out the sun.
Bring the wind. . . Let it blow, hard, so that we may see clearly, obstructions cleared.

Amaya sat frozen, lost in the words on the page in front of her. So dark, and yet so true. She was in a dark place, but somehow she had never felt better.
