Making Choices; Patterns in Life

  

-- Quote of the Day --

"Patterning your life

Around others' opinions

Is nothing more than slavery."

~ Lawana Blackwell

-- Brummets in the Media --

Author J.A. Laughlin has a generous list of other books that he is recommending to his audience - as well, he has a section for fellow PA authors. I sent him some information and a few images and he put them up within hours. It was really cool of him to do. Check it out, and if you like, send a request his way to see if he'd like to give you all a promotional link on his site as well. I noticed that he also has a small forum there, that you may want to check out too.

LOVE of a MANY FACE

Love of a many face,

I shy from your disgrace.

Love of a many hill,

I won’t let go of my will.

Tumbling, falling

Just tired of stalling.

Can’t let it fade away,

Yet won’t allow myself to beg.

My heart means so much more.

Yes, I step harder...than before.

Why jump blinded, headfirst,

Into the never ending thirst.

Slowly, I watch and sigh.

Silently, I smother my cries.

Trying to hold onto what, I don’t know.

But never - no never, let it show.

My eyes see danger up ahead.

Threatening to leave my heart stone dead.

Tonight, I caress my greatest fear.

To love you always, and hold you near.
