Light

"When hope turns dark, I will bring the sun to light it, I shall guide, protect thee, For I am the human spirit. Poem: God’s Dream, in ‘Chameleon Lights"

"O, weary angels, don’t look at me with those eyes. If that is your state then what of our cries?What can I tell you of goodness that you don’t already know?What can I tell you of faith,of hope and lovethat you yourselves bestow?O, angels, don’t pluck another feather,this isn’t the sky, it’s just the weather. Please, angels, try. We are one all together. Look up and listen, I’ll say it once and then put down my pen:We are sorry for our ignoranceand even though we are worldly,it might happen again. We are sorry for your wearinessand even though you aren’t worldly,we are no more than human."

"I don’t know why everyoneis still trying to find out whether heaven and hell exist. Why do we need more evidence?They exist here on this very Earth. Heaven is standing atop Mount Qasiounoverlooking the Damascene sightswith the wind carrying Qabbani’sdulcet words all around you. And hell is only four hours away in Aleppo where children’s cries drown out the explosions of mortar bombsuntil they lose their voice,their families, and their limbs. Yes, hell certainly does existright now, at this moment,as I pen this poem. And all we’re doingto extinguish this hellfireis sighing, shrugging, liking, and sharing. Tell me: what exactly does that makeus? Are we any better than the gatekeepers of hell?"

"Successes are those highlights of life we look back on with a smile. But it's the day to day grind of getting them that defines the laugh lines etched until the end of time. Enjoy each moment along the way"

"The pages continue to turn, and every day I'm a little older, hopefully a little wiser and a lot more grateful. Do I have regrets? I have a few - but not as many as you might think. If it hadn't been for the darkness, I never would have known the light. In life we all take different paths, some more difficult than others, but in the end, all that matters is whether or not they lead us home."

"It’s the ‘everyday’ experiences we encounter along the journey to who we wanna be that will define who we are when we get there."

"There is no such thing as loving a child too much."

"Without struggle, success has no value."

"If you didn't earn something, it's not worth flaunting."

"We love our partners for who they are, not for who they are not."

"At some point, you just gotta forgive the past, your happiness hinges on it."

"The freedom of the open road is seductive, serendipitous and absolutely liberating."

"There is strange comfort in knowing that no matter what happens today, the Sun will rise again tomorrow."

"You see a person's true Colors when you are no longer beneficial to their life. But there are also the other onces who burn like candles. They burn until theny give others Light!"

"Be a team player, not a bandwagon jumper."

"The highway of grace will get you somewhere a whole lot faster then the freeway of spite."
