Simplistic Inspiration

So on Saturday 14th April, 2012 in Trinidad and Tobago there was a visible rainbow like halo around the sun. Everyone was sent into a frenzy and social networks facebook, twitter and BBM were all abuzz because of the rare spectacle. From comments of the world going to end, to just plain curiosity, confusion and amazement at the sight and of course lots and lots of pictures. 

After doing research people came to know that the occurrence was called nimbus, icebow or gloriole. Apparently it is associated with clouds called cirrostratus which are composed of ice crystals and usually form at altitudes above 20,000 feet! 

But apart from the science mumbo jumbo of how it occurs is the pure beauty, splendor and majesty of the sight was enough to make everyone appreciate the beauty of life.... Well at least I did. The sight was nothing short of amazing and inspiring and something that I will not soon forget. Coming at a time where I craved to be moved, here comes this remarkable phenomena to activate my senses and encourage my spirit.   

Life's simple wonders... simple pleasures always trump its complexities and difficulties. 

Enjoy the beauty of life with me through these photos the last two I took for myself the others I stole (borrowed from my contacts on BBM) :) This was one of those things where there was no way to take a bad photo of it, each is beautiful in its own majestic way and none less amazing than the other... 

Almost...

It had to be destiny the way we met and yet you're so far away
Far away from the warmth of my bosom
From the beat of my heart
Far away from my love
My love, where have you gone?
I yearn for your touch
I crave your being
I desperately search my mind for the images of your smile
The memory of your fingers intertwined in mine
But yet I'm not satisfied

These thoughts alone won't do
The reality is that I simply miss you
Your essence, your mind, your spirit, your heart and your soul, your body, your touch, your kiss, your love
To be close to you is what I want
To be and to have you inside me is what I need
For our bodies to become one
One flesh moving in rhythm
One heart racing
One voice moaning in pleasure
The ecstasy of our union, of the pulsating, in, out, in, out

The warmth of our bodies fuels the heat of our passion
Sweat
Tears of pleasure
Our mouths thirsty to taste each other
To bring each other to that ultimate climax
The feeling of ecstasy
One satisfied body, two lovers
The journey to get there is an exciting but rigorous one question is....
Are we up to the challenge?

Tomorrow

Tomorrow

A better day will come 

With the moment of the hands of the clock 

And the setting of the sun 

Tomorrow 

Holds all that life has is store 

New dreams, hope and aspirations 

A new song, a new door to escape from 

The pain and heartache of the day before 

Tomorrow is the yesterday of today 

So before I get out of bed, I pray that 

Today will be the best tomorrow ever 

I will accomplish all that I set out to and better myself 

Yesterday’s guilt, shame and bruises are long forgotten 

Today is the tomorrow of my future 

Now is my time to be 

Now is my time to see 

It is time to envision it, believe it and walk in the path of destiny 

Yesterday has tested me, but today is tomorrow which is not promised 

So I make this oath that as long as I am on this earth 

I will be grateful 

I will express this gratitude by being true to myself 

Not afraid to be me, to be individual 

Because in today’s world these are very few 

I will love, be joyful and find peace in myself 

Today 

Because why put it off for tomorrow

Nice things to say @ Christmas

Just engaging you in some seasonal quotes with some deeper meanings. 

"Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!" -- Hamilton Wright Mabie

At the end of the day Christmas is about love, love for family, friends, your neighbour and each other despite class, stature, race or ethnicity.  

"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other." -- Burton Hillis 

Christmas is about family, make sure to spend time with your family and make Christmas about your family, Christmas is one of those times of the year where family should come together despite any past quarrels or disagreements. Put that behind you, enjoy the season with your loved ones.

"For the spirit of Christmas fulfills the greatest hunger of mankind."  -- Loring A. Schuler 

The greatest hunger of mankind is love! We all want to be loved, be in love and to feel and experience love. Christmas makes it easier for that to happen in a special way that cannot be explained.

"I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month." -- Harlan Miller

Move over Facebook! Whoever could do that will be the next billionaire! lol But more so, we all can open our Christmas jars every month and we don't even have to do the painting, cleaning, baking and cooking :P all you have to do is be the best person you can be, be giving, be loving, be kind and be understanding. 

"Open your presents at Christmas time but be thankful year round for the gifts you receive." -- Lorinda Ruth Lowen

Give thanks for live always and every blessing that may come your way, big or small.

"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air." -- W.T. Ellis 

You cannot fake the Christmas spirit, either you have it or you don't and it is when we all have it that it gives the atmosphere a little extra something that makes the whole place brighter and more exciting to live in. 

"May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace, The gladness of Christmas give you hope, The warmth of Christmas grant you love." -- Author Unknown 

My wish to you... Love, peace and happiness... Merry Christmas! 

Simplicity

I met you under the simplest of circumstances

A shy hello and stolen glances

They say life is about taking chances

Well I’m glad that I took the chance to talk to you

Looked into your eyes and got lost in them

When your lips parted, soft, sweet vocals filled my eardrums

And I listened to the rhythm of you

The first time I saw you smile ever plays on my mind too

One day, that’s all it took

You mesmerized me with your personality

Astounded me with your beauty

Simplicity

Much easier than others who try to complicate

Evidenced by the theme of our first date

A picnic in the park

You cooked I ate

I held your hand, they intertwined perfectly

Foresight of a perfect match was it destiny?

Fate, a snowcone and a stolen peck on the lips

Can it get any better than this?

We’re in a relationship now and we are growing even closer

I introduced you to my mother and from then on I knew we’d always be together

We weathered many storms

Got each other through some rainy days

Not without our own arguments, highs, lows and rock bottoms

But thoughts of you and me, you and I, me and you

Have always gotten us through

From the day we cut that cake together and said “I do”

To the day Korbin was born

And the day Kammie started her first day of school

20 years later now and one thing still holds true

I’ve found simplicity in three words

I LOVE YOU 

Growing up Rights & Wrongs

My sis did that *beams with pride* she's 15. She used color pencils. Well you can argue that the art above is kinda lame for a 15 year old. But art is probably one of the most subjective things on earth. What makes art special however is how it makes you feel. It’s a connection and emotion you feel toward that particular piece. Is this piece any different from Da Vinci's Mona Lisa? What makes that art better or different from any other piece of art?

This piece inspired me, and had me deep in thought for a while. What was it? Why were the colors chosen? Did she intentionally give it that unfinished look?

Well even more impressive to me was the well thought out explanation about the piece which she wrote at the back. It went…

The mother is explaining to her fetus the ways of growing up. The piece starts out with you see two hands cradling a belly. The blue represents the closeness and no matter how far apart they are they’ll always be together. The orange around the blue is the bind between mother and daughter. The light green, brown and green represent her early childhood years and the peach next to it represents innocence. The child has a playful innocence. But as she gets older which is the purple she starts to love and the red represents her falling in love and becoming passionate. The black represents heartbreak where she may have dark times and the violet represents the hardness she has created from getting hurt. The purple represents forgiveness and maturity and letting go of the bad and embracing the good. Now at the end of the mother’s story she smiles and says the gray, “On my face represents the bad, the good, yellow and the conflicts that will happen between us, the brown. But no matter how bad things get, just remember I’ll always love you and you will always be my baby girl.”

Still think it’s childish?
