TEE BIRD IS SOARING HIGH
LOOKING FOR MY SOUL MATE
-
HandsI haven’t forgotten
That I am just one person,
That I am but one voice
Attempting to stand out
From the crowd.
I remember
That I have fallen
Amidst the laughter
That surrounds me, and that sometimes
It gets too loud.
I know
That I can’t sit here
And expect my silence
To evoke change
Without reason.
I can see
That I don’t know everything,
That I can’t expect
My hand to be held
Always.
I can feel
That time is slipping
By me, that it
Will be gone if I just
Stand still.
I have heard
That there are a million
Other voices that sound
Like mine, that want also
To be heard.
I’ve been told
That it’s not enough to
Wish for dreams, that I
Have to work them
Into reality.
I know that I don’t know
All that I think I know.
I know I won’t see all of
The places I wish to go.
I know I’m not ready
For all that the world demands,
You don’t have to always hold me,
Just let me see your hands.
I know
That there’s a lot
That I won’t understand,
That you don’t have all
Of the answers.
I haven’t forgotten
That I have to grow up
And someday live without
Your voice, your opinion—
Making my own decisions.
I know that I don’t know
All that I think I know.
I know that I may not see all
Of the places I want to someday go.
I know I’m not ready for everything
That I won’t always understand
You don’t have to always hold me
But sometimes…
Just let me touch your
Hand. -

“Allah will hold each and every parent accountable of how they carried out (the crucial responsibility of a parent) and this will be present on their balance of deeds in the hereafter…Parenting is not only a responsibility, but it is probably the most critical duty in the world. Parent’s are raising the next generation that will either succeed or fail in re-establishing Islam on this Earth.” ‘Nurturing Iman in Children’, Dr. Aisha Hamdan.

Freedom of the MIND
In tracing the evolution of the mind in the previous session, I came to a point where life seems to be a series of occasions when the mind feels an irreconcilability with its object. All our thoughts have corresponding objects before them. We think things, persons and various conditions. The anxieties and sufferings of life can all be boiled down to attempts on the part of the mind to reconcile itself with its object.
The mind does not always succeed with this attempt because it can never become the object, and the objects cannot become the mind; yet, there is an unsuccessful attempt at bridging this gulf, which is the story of all human history. Every attempt of one individual to overcome another, in any manner or any capacity whatsoever, is only an outer expression of the internal tendency of the mind to overcome its object.
Why should the mind try to overcome the object or reconcile with the object? Why not be independent of the object and unconcerned with it? Originally, in its evolution, the primitive state of mind thought that the objects are absolutely independent of itself, that the world has no relation to it at all. Animals react only to stimulus. There is no judgement of values, no understanding the world, no raising the question as to why there should be a stimulus from outside. The animal mind does not question because there is no purpose in questioning. Its purpose is to react to stimulus whenever it arises from the outside world. It is the human mind that feels the difficulty in a greater intensity than the animal mind.
Why do we think we are so SUPERIOR, LET ME THINK …..

The time has reached us once again, Christmas in a few days, have you gone mad spending money on the unnecessary
Have we become so shallow running around each and every year like headless chickens buying presents to apparently show our appreciation, to WHAT ???
Majorirty of people, do not even realise that Christmas has become a farce, where it is supposed to be spent with family getting together, sharing the joy with love and consideration, it is now spent buying crap we don’t need, stuffing or faces, sleeping and putting on weight. Truth is, it has become another holiday, how false we have become.
Merry Christmas to You as well ?

Look beyond yourself and at the suffering people of the world.We’re in a world so busy
People running everywhere.
Forever looking at our watches
Our minds racing with cares.
We never see that lonely man
Sitting on the street.
We don’t even notice that hungry lady
Struggling in the heat.
Children so needy
Filled with despair.
An old grandma rocking sadly
And no one cares.
We must remember
Jesus left us with a plea…
“Ye did unto the least of these
my brethren, ye did it unto me.”
So what about you?
What about me?
What about the lonely man
Sitting on the street?
Will you reach out
Without a shadow of doubt?
Will you love the least of these
And fulfill Jesus’ plea?
A smile for the lonely man sitting on the street.
A bit of food for the hungry lady struggling in the heat.
A hug for the children so full of despair.
A cheery voice for the old Grandma in the rocking chair.
This seems so simple
Such an easy thing to do.
Let’s reach out for the least of these
And for Jesus too. -
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that’s not meant to be.Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can’t “be friends”. A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend.
Don’t settle.
If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is
Don’t stay because you think “it will get better”You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.
He didn’t marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later. .. THAT’S TRUE
You cannot change a man’s behaviour.* Change comes from within.
Don’t EVER make him feel he is more important than you are…Even if he has more education or in a better job.
Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else’s man.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.You should not be the one doing all the bending…
Compromise is two way street.
You need time to heal between relationships…
There is nothing cute about baggage…Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you…
A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals…Look for someone complimentary…not supplementary.
Dating is fun…even if he doesn’t turn out to be Mr. Right. Mmmhhhrrrr
Make him miss you sometimes…when a man always know where you are, and you’re always readily available to him - he takes it for grantedNever move into his mother’s house. Never co-sign for a man.
Don’t fully commit to a man who doesn’t give you everything that you need.*
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.Get on with your life, to stick around for a little pork ain’t worth even seeing a pig!

The realm of spirituality is mystical and mysterious. When we look at the world with an attitude of wonder and awe, we become aware that the world is filled with spiritual life. Part of spirituality is being willing to admit that something is beyond your comprehension.
Science has its place in understanding the world but it will never have all the answers. When we look at the universe and into our own hearts and see that which we don’t understand, we know that we have touched that which is unknowable and holy.
Who are they, what do they do?
Where do they come from, are they for me and you?
What do they look like, how do they sound?
Where do you keep them, where are they found?Can you hear them, see them, touch them
How long do they stay?
Maybe a year, a week or just even a dayQuestions you ask of them you see
They are here to help us you and me
To guide and love us through all our years
Keeping away darkness and negative fearsBut to find one yourself there’s little to do
Just relax and listen to the true you
The little word or thought in your head
Is it a guide or something you readMy guess is with little effort and care
Your going on a journey so be prepared
To a wonderful place that’s hard to have foreseen
Where your guides are and have always beenTalk to them and listen with ease
To what they say you will be pleased
So now you know your questions fulfilled
Because you took the time your mind you stilledIt doesn’t take much, just a few minutes a day
To meet your guides who have something to say
Words of great wisdom given with love
To spread round the world from up above -
If it was love… there is disappointment, pain, even anger, but deep down still caring for the other persons well being, even if you can no longer be with them.
Letting go may hurt, but rather hurt now, than live with animosity in your heart!
How is it that the deepest love turns so easily into the most intense hatred? In any relationship, the anger often gets rationalised into endless argument over parting arrangements. Yet even the most stable relationships are characterised by a balancing act between love and hate, hence perhaps once the love has gone, only hate remains. All close relationships are accompanied by tension because they involve sacrifice of individual needs to accommodate the requirements of a couple. Ironically, those prone to the most anger might be the ones who sensed something was going wrong early on in the relationship but mistakenly thought doubling their sacrifice was the answer. Yet they forget that just as it takes two to tango, so it takes two to tangle. The allocation of fault is usually fruitless.
