Brids of Paradise! Thats the truth!





I was amazed by these Birds of Paradise and the roles that they play within their gender. The male shows off by flaunting themselves in front of a female and nothing it ever thought about to be over the top. Is it not amazing that we as humans are basically doing the same thing. But instead of the males only showing off women do as well in the human culture. I like the role of the female within the bird world. Even though they are not flaunting themselves with a beautiful coat or outer covering, they get to decide which male bird pursues them enough and impresses them enough to agree to be one with. I am up holding the desire to be like that of the bird. Knowing that the male will work hard and will want to be everything and more for me. I know that God has that one bunch of feathers for me. One person. One heart. One amazing man. And that I will wait.

Candle Wax


I am like a candle...
my outer core is firm but inviting.
It may take some time to engage my inner being in a fire that burns ever so bright.
When it is lit there is no turning back.
For one flame is my purpose, one purpose is my life, and one life is to live.
My skin is never touched for it brings residue with warmth.
My flame flickers from one wind to the next, waiting to be illuminated to depth.
The depth that only comes from within, lit with perseverance and desire.
Upon the hour my depth comes to life thy heart lies with content.
Dripping layers with each drop, my inner self comes to light.
Character revealed.
