The Journey

Extraordinarily Ordinary

Age does not dictate maturity.
Maturity does not dictate wisdom.

Wisdom is divine and is a gift, just like Today. They are presents that are present in the same space.

We are born, with a purpose called light.
Lights shine brightest in the areas that are the most dark.
We experience darkness when we allow our purpose to  be diminished by limits,
When we allow others control over our existence.
That is not living;
it is being.
Seeing is not believing.
It is dreaming; it is action.
Freedom is fueled by light, by passion, by living the purpose of your own life
Unashamed. No need to explain.
Only God can judge. We must live above
The limits placed on our existence.
Our challenge is to be free.
Only then will we defeat the enemy........
Self.

The Rose that Grew from Concrete

"Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared. "
- Tupac Shakur


 We are all created unique, some more unique than others. I have had to learn that the key to true happiness is to not listen to the skeptics.  Listen to your heart ,but still think with your mind. Life is a balancing act between dreams and reality. I am most inspired by those who accomplish what was thought to be the impossible, people who become "Roses".  I have met many.

   One in particular, is a young Latina woman whose parents are immigrants. She was born with Cerebral Palsy. Through out her childhood there was an enormous pressure ,from both friends and family , to be like everyone else. She realized early on that she was born to be so much more.  She learned to walk in her own unique way by creating her own path, when she chose to follow her dreams, even when only she could see them.

       After graduating High School, she became the first in her family to attend Community College. After Community College, she moved on to a State University. From there, she graduated from Harvard and now works on Capitol Hill. Now, instead of people dismissing her opinion or ideas, they  pay a grand amount of money for her input.

"By keeping her dreams, [she] learned to breathe." 

Are you a Rose? or Concrete?
