True Story.: RIGHT NOW

Thursday, 27 August 2009

I am a new person.
I will be happy because I choose to be.
I won't allow myself to fall subject to eloquence and flattery.
I will not let anyone dictate my emotions.
I will be studious.
I will do my best in everything.
I will not do anything that I don't want to do.
I will be focused.
I will still have a lot of fun. ...of course. Heh.
There's other stuff I can't remember right now, but basically I'm a new me that is going to be awesome all by myself.

The Bridge

by Joy Cowley

There are times in life  

when we are called to be bridges,

 not a great monument spanning a distance

 and carrying loads of heavy traffic,

 but a simple bridge to help one person

from here to there  

over some difficulty

 such as pain, grief, fear, loneliness,  

a bridge which opens the way  

for ongoing journey.   

When I become a bridge for another,

 I bring upon myself a blessing,  

for I escape from the small prison of self  

and exist for a wider world,  

breaking out to be a larger being  

who can enter another’s pain  

and rejoice in another’s triumph.

  I know of only one greater blessing  

in this life, and that is,  

to allow someone else

 to be a bridge for me.
