Renewed

The promise of tomorrow

Brings with it the spring of  hope

Renewed dreams and multiple aspirations.

Therefore, let not the dim and dark

Recollections of the past

Anchor you immutably and

Out of reach of the dawn of hope

Embedded amid new beginnings.

Rather, with bold expectations

Embrace the future and strive

Unreservedly towards the

Treasure of your goals.

Nurture Not Complaining

Nurture not the practice of complaining

For it is but an anchor for stagnation,

Within which, withers due promise of hope,

Causing thereby, the gradual demise of motivation,

That otherwise, would have found abode to

Flourish towards the fulfillment of dreams.

An Unending Gift

My gift to you is this…
I wish for you now and always
The peace of God, the foundation
And maker of the whole universe,
Which peace, exceeds the knowledge
Of mere humanity, but from within its
Boundless and sustaining essence, remains
An ever faithful impenetrable anchor
Which, calms the ripples and turbulence of life,
Transforms the sphere of human perception
Yet, assuredly provides enduring solace
And the tranquility of comforting relief
In aid of the spirit that embraces it.

The Extraordinary Rosebud

This rosebud like any other …
Foretells in understated measure
The wonder of the beauty still to
Blossom forth with grandeur, amid
The intricate bond of life and time.

But this rosebud, beyond the usual splendor
Ceaseth not in the promise of optimism, for it
Springs eternal, beckoning with an elevating
Message of hope, yet seeking to be recognized
And embraced for the enduring nature of the
Fullness of its potential and reassurance within.

Move On

Do not castigate yourself endlessly
Nor subject yourself to constant reproach, or
Incessantly scathing personal recrimination,
For, but imperfect is our life journey, and
Blemished certain trails we sometimes pursue.
Yet know ye, that even the stalwart and ramrod
Of disposition are indeed still malleable, but
Shielded with the distinction of determination
Resolve not to disintegrate under the scrutiny, and
Limelight of the flawed existence of mortality.
Rather, cloak thyself with clear and piercing insight
To acknowledge frailties and experiences therefrom.
Arm thyself with the refuge of wisdom, to ensure
That thy perspective is unveiled in assessment
Of the failings that attend within thine existence.
Dwell not on the limitations or infirmities of the mould
Nay, courage most ardently seek, sufficient grace to
Forgive thyself embrace, while nurturing steadfastly the
Peace that elevates the spirit and dissipates confusion,
And with the confidence of maturity acquired through
Lessons, advance beyond the stagnation of shortcomings
To forge onward with confidence and enduring hope.

Benjoy’s Corner (5)

Inherent in the essence of life’s constant motion

Is the constancy of change, second after second

No moment is in complete dimension,

The same as the past, present or future…

Therefore, as the changing times of existence

May accumulate into centuries of progress,

Earnestly regard change as part of human enterprise

Thus, make it count on your behalf…

And not as an obstacle.

Benjoy’s Corner (4)

Love thyself unconditionally,
For, from thence followeth the
Courage, character and confidence
Required to journey onward steadfastly
And in virtuous measure through
Life’s undulating courses and adventure.

COURAGE’S STEP

Exude before thou tread
All confidence in thy being.
Shew not timid spirit.
Yield not to intimidation
And favor not like fears.
But with courage, step forth
To empower thy very essence
As enduring and reliable shield
In triumph over this pilgrimage.
For they that with thee likewise walk
Are better not in measure than thee,
Nor entertain they less trepidation.

For in firm embrace coupled with
Stalwart conviction and boldness,
Some in diligence proceed forward
To succeed and conquer still.

Therefore in all things
Embrace fortitude
… And stride.
