Build

You can’t beat someone in the game who enjoys doing it.

The speed with which she will soak up is exponentially more than those who sprint.

So, if you don’t truly enjoy what you do,

I suggest go look after what your heart and soul will contend in.

To do so, acknowledge what cannot be changed — the cornerstones first.

Then, weave your own storylines. Create the dream into the reality.

Yes, it is possible. So what do you wish for?

Keep drawing, even if it didn’t work out.

If it did, congrats. Let’s keep building on it.

Story

What is your story?

Not the one you made for jobs, schools, or whatnot.

What makes your heart beat with warmth?

Usually, it’s the simplest things.

The game, the song, the look, the feel.

It was the story of others.

To join the path along with others.

To seek the rhythm and celebrating with others.

To do the right thing — what I hope is the right thing.

To be good enough to be foolish and be okay.

To break things down to the fundamental childish play and simply enjoying things.

If you know what you want,

it’s time for you get to work.

Learn

RalphLeave a comment

You don’t have to be the smartest kid in the room,

but at least learn from your mistakes.

Rather than titles, focus on what you can do and what you know.

Make a plan, even if it didn’t work out last time.

Honor the promises you made to yourself.

Be honest, even if the shame electrifies you.

Stay here and now. Look forward.

Accept yourself, even the ugly parts.

When in doubt, seek warmth and light.

Be mindful of what you put into your mind.

Love and trust matter, in spite of it all.

Look into yourself, as you would look into a mirror.

Keep going. Keep calm. Keep praying.

Forward

Let’s look forward, marching onward.

Yes, there were beautiful days — but so will the future.

Let’s savor this moment, an act in itself manifesting a future you desire.

May us carry a heart full of love, contentment, and hope.

We will hold onto what we have,

celebrate the breath we breathe,

and remember this moment head held high.

Though we may falter,

I pray we rise and bring light again.

Keep going. Keep believing. Keep warmth.

Glimpse

I like seeing your smile.

Like a small white budding flower

on the eve of a spring,

It brings soft warmth to my heart.

Yes — there are times for the sparring —

Let us savor this moment’s scent,

cherishing this dreamlike ephemeral peace.

May it keep our humanity within us.

I like you, you know.

I think we are a good team.

I enjoy our journey together.

I want to be with you as long as the time allows.

Listening

RalphLeave a comment

When I shut my mouth,

but kept my eyes open to the logic,

I started to see who you really are.

I started to see where you come from.

I started to see your style — the patterns,

the scent, the softness, and the coolness.

I started to hear your feelings.

I knew the weight of your loneliness,

your burden, and your frustration.

I am honored to have shared this moment with you.

To be alive — and to feel the presence of the other — I have yet to count an instance more profound than this.

Observe

RalphLeave a comment

Keep watching —

No matter how sad, mad, or deadly you’ve had it,

observe what happened before, during, and after.

Experiment with what you can control —

test your curious observations, creativities —

while staying true to yourself and to your commitments.

It won’t hurt to keep your escape route in your back pocket. (Be daring)

Trust your gut; run on the wind, halt with the world, roll your dice.

Keep observing. Keep recording. Keep talking.

Keep breathing.
