Wandering, In-equivalent to Lost

My life there has to be more than this.
My eyes are too open to be shielded.
My heart, full of passion, desire, wonder
I do not fear.
I want to feel.
To experience.
I want to create, inspire, perceive.
Within I yearn and ache for freedom of creativity.
Enlightenment.
I want to share.
There is so much me.

Me so much to offer .

Excess me.
An outlet... where?
A canvas... bare.
So much me that I can't control.
Me, I sumbit me. To inspire, to guide a dream.
I shan't conform. She won't.

An outlet...
I'm drowning in her.
I can't control us.
Her agenda is her own.
A mere capsule... Unknown.

Liquid crystals from within...

Still so much.

Wake Up...


Blessed are we all,
That were awoken today.
For Today is a new and lovely day.
The gift of waking Today would be shameful,
For the woes of yester to take away.
I thank you Lord for the gift of waking another day.

A Beginning, An End. Transition. Begin Again

"The Circular Rule, The circular rule is about beginnings and endings. It is about an ongoing process of self-renewal, growth, and discovery. Typically the cycle begins with a strong inclination to make something important happen and ends when that effort no longer works or seems important. Beginnings are romantic times, fostering passionate commitments. Endings require us to let go of some dream or effort that has gone stale or awry, and either to fix it or find a different one."

I would first like to say that the Circular Rule rocks from my interpretation. I learned about the circular rule via required reading in one of my courses this year (book: LifeLaunch). The reason I love it so much is because in learning it, I've found yet another healthy tool of reasoning to manage my life and processing my thoughts.

Specifically, what do I like about the circular rule? I like that it relates to traditional adult development theory because it encourages you to evolve. It prompts change. The circular rule doesn't allow room for laziness to set in, or for defeat to conquer you, this rules in my opinion teaches you how to take responsibility for your actions and own your adulthood. The circular rule, to me says, okay, you got a little bruised up now close that door and open a new one. Or dot that "i" and cross that "t"; put a period at the end of that sentence, and move your ass on to the next chapter of your life! What on Earth are you waiting on? I love it!

With every strength, there are the weaknesses. To benefit from this rule you have to know how to use it. You need to be capable of recognizing the cues of a beginning or an end. It's actually pretty simple, if a situation has played you into a stalemate position, it's time to transition, otherwise if your life was a book. You're basically reading the same chapter over and over again, and making no true progress all-the-while, whatever that situation might be. The strengths of the rule are an array of coping, discovery, and developmental skills.

The circular rule is non-stage in nature. Meaning it would be a blessing if this was one of the inborn biases or instinctive. However this is definitely one of those learn along the road of life type-rules. This rule requires self awareness and the ability to design the chapters throughout your lifetime. You must be able to embrace necessary transitions between chapters in order to renew yourself and the central features of your life.

The circular rule represents a certain part of moral reasoning. It is progressive rule that provokes positive change. If your path is limp and exhausted, which could lead to negativity and off base activity, this rule enables you to reconstruct your life and "do" something important or transition.
