The Beauty You See by L. M. Montes

Some days arrive and words don’t come,
just relaxation to enjoy in the sun,
beams of light across the grass caress,
inviting air of smoothness to the breath,
lavender floats along in gentle breezes,
creating a break in all that’s really needed,
so come along and smile with ease,
enjoy in life the beauty you see.

When I Grow Up

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was five, I wanted to be an Olympic runner.

Standing and Sitting

In order to stand up for something you believe in, you have to sit and listen.

Life and Hunger Intertwined

In life we grow hungry for joy, love, peace, success, and food. Hunger is a part of life from which we gain sustenance.

Life’s Chase by L. M. Montes

Life walked by and told to sit
so I could grasp and take a hold,
but then as fingers touched its sleeve,
it turned and ran before I bit.

I dashed and followed, giving chase
in hopes of catching what is mine,
but then as I drew close and near,
life turned and told me “in your face.”

Then I tripped into a shallow well
of self and pity as I had failed,
but then a flower before me grew,
my life was mine, I would prevail.

Challenges and Fear

As you know, life comes with many challenges, and each challenge presents a varying degree of difficulty. For some an easy challenge may be difficult, and for others a difficult challenge may be easy. It depends on the person. Fear can get in the way sometimes when we want to tackle the challenge but aren’t sure if we can accomplish meeting that challenge. In the end we may not even try. Had we attempted it, we may have found it to be easier to accomplish than we originally thought.

How does one get over that fear of trying it?

  • Practice
  • Talk to someone
  • Gain more knowledge about whatever the challenge is. Do your research.
  • Think about the fear itself. What exactly are you afraid of?

Will it be easy to get over that fear? For some, yes. For others, no. If you don’t want to meet a challenge because you’re not interested in it, that ‘s one thing. But, whatever you do, do not run from a challenge simply because you’re afraid, because then you are stopping yourself from doing something that you might just end up loving and are very good at.

Rain and Compassion

Without rain/water flowers die. Without compassion/love humans “die”. Love in some form is essential emotionally. Some may say that is not true. But I believe it’s truer than one might think.

Sometimes life throws many mountains at us. Do we stand and look at them then turn away? Or do we latch on to them, climb them, and rejoice when we’ve reached the top?
