The White Picket Fence Dream

I laugh as I think of people as being a well programmed computer. Somewhere early on I think it was in kindergarten during that Dick and Jane phase that major programming began.. Did you notice there was always a picket fence in that book? I am sure the" white picket fence dream" means different things to different people, but all in all I think it had to do with contentment and achieving the American Dream. Usually it meant you had financial freedom and reached a standard of living and all your personal goals were being met.
Of course this programming didn't stop with the " white picket fence dream, holidays, valentines day gave a full range of images that we wanted to bring to life. How many people actually experience the romance, the comfort and the joy of simplicity that our dreams indicated were necessary for a happy content lifestyle? Maybe it is in our maturity and growth that we realize there is more and that what is easy is not always what is best. An though the " white picket fence dream " is the goal of your average American household, it is by no means the only goal for many. In many ways it made me feel separate or very individualistic that my dreams were more diverse and my goals more in depth than the average individual.
I do believe that I hungered for that which my childhood did not easily offer and that was stability and security and in doing so had a blind eye to the red flags in my eagerness to comply with the simple comforts of life. What is lost in the process is the individual identity of a person and I find it troubling that achieving personal goals seem to be a threat to many.
I never wanted to feel different but in many ways I was, my thought process, my make it work at any cost attitude and my desire to not follow but to be me. I felt muffled for many years and as I see everything come together I hear the voice of my soul speak. It knows that the journey is not yet complete and there is so much more to achieve, that the average dreams of the " white picket fence" is not necessarily in my individual schematic. I asked myself than what will bring peace and love to my heart and soul? The answer was not easy because our vulnerability is altered often through out our journey.
Part of me still craves the comfort zone even though it doesn't exist in this chapter of my life and another part of me knows that life is short and I am to write the legacy that will follow me and my children. It is a fact that when all is said and done that our programming is a part of our culture and the social movement and that which the soul recognizes has nothing to do with " the white picket fence" it has to do with following the passion within. Don't get me wrong, I have the desire like everyone to be loved to wake up each morning to a kiss of love and to know that when I leave this earth, I personally have made a difference.

Imagine the possibilities if all choices

in life were made with love...imagine.

Light Up The Cloud

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your heart to mine,
rhythmic they beat,
spinning in circles
to memories.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Stars above us,
in the night of calm,
where we dance as one
all night long.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your lips of sweet,
pressed gently to mine,
sharing a moment
please stand still time.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Not Only in My Dreams

Singing>I wanna hold you forever, I wanna make dreams come true.I wanna love you like no other and make you love me to.Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no! I wanna create our eternity, where you are holding me.

I wanna feel you inside me, I wanna dance the night away.I wanna make you need me .... the way that I need you....Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no!. I wanna create our eternity , where you are holding on to me.

Not only in my dreamssss

Soul Mates

Most people relate to the study of Greek mythology, the magical stories of the heavens and the gods that ruled them. Zeus the God of Gods, ruler of the universe struck bolts of thunder down upon mortal man. The myth that humans were combined of four arms and four legs and a single head made of two faces which struck fear into the Gods, caused Zeus to split them in half. Zeus Condemned split souls to spend eternity searching for the other half that would complete them giving them the energy and power.
In our modern day era there is all kinds of talk of searching for soul mates, a loosely used term for finding the person who has the perfect fit. Soul mates could be defined as very dear friends who have a strong bond, two people who walk in harmony, a life lasting connection, spiritual companions, twin flames that burn as one, one that has an extreme , positive influence over another or in a more romantic way some have referred to soul mates as the reuniting of
split souls.
There is no doubt in my mind that an energy does exist between people, on a scientific note, they would break it down to mere adrenaline. I believe soul mates are much deeper, it is the equilibrium that causes an inner balance of happiness.
In our society there are the expected norms, dating marriage, love an life that we are somehow predestined to perform. As you look around you find that rarely do people find such a perfection connection. In my mind is a view of all the perfect weddings that I had attended to find that very few lasted the miles.
In the bonding of a soul mate, both must be standing on common ground, that which feels comfortable and in a state of normalcy. Each knows the others moments of weakness as well as days of strength and brings out the best in all situations. The positive cognation from one partner to the next creates a platform of encouragement, promoting one to strive for better, to create a desire.
In a bond of two inner spirits there is no demand set upon the souls, but an understanding that speaks without words. Emotions rise up from the flames to possess the energy of desire and create lasting moments that lift and bond two into one.
What is the possibility that two people will find such a positive energy of attraction, both in the spiritual and physical sense? I can address no formal number to the combination of a puzzle that interlocks two souls.
Do I believe soul mates exist? I in every sense of the word believe there is a connection from one human to another that is above the normal expectation. The interaction of souls is rare and gifted with trust, respect, faith and love. The crucial ingredients must be met with self first before they can be shared with another human being. Standing at the gateway of self respect, allow faith and the trust in oneself guide you to Love.
