I Will Not Be Silenced.

The urging of a friend,

The hanging promise,

The gentle nudge turn persistent tugs.

Yes, my soul cries out in agony,

At myself, the tyranny.

Belittling, defeating,

invisible locks imprisoning.

Still, she defies the throne,

To shake the slumber,

Her whisper echoes the sound of thunder.

Yes, my fears remain,

Though I will not abstain,

This slow awakening,

For there's much to gain.

Love

You'll Never Know

Until you try.

I've never heard the word 'No' so many times.

Why the Glow?

It's extremely heartwarming to know that the scramble and the tumble out of bed 4 hours after working on a media document to boil some rice and cook al dente supermarket brand pasta is helping kickstart a national campaign to mobilise some 4,000 Australians into action against poverty.

Fuzzieeeee.

I NEED TO START MAKING THINGS HAPPEN.

V.O.D.

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Mark 8:34

Ms. Know-It-All.

I never get it right!

Things to Live By.

Faith is not built in the storm, it is built before the storm.

- Ps. Jimmy

Embracing Adulthood.

As they say, age is but a number.

Only the churlish child would spell adulthood as adultdoom.

say cheese!

"Happiness isn't a commodity that can be purchased in a store....It's a byproduct of the way you choose to live and the things you choose to think."

A.R. Bernard

Quotable quotes, are quotable quotes cause they somehow seem to formalize all the mumblejumble that goes on in that tinkertoyfactory brain of ours huh.

Yet Another.

Its now 2, and I'm one for early nights, for early days.

But tonight's different. I'm not kept awake by urgent 'to-do's.
Neither am I particularly ticked off with myself that I'm not in REM sleep at this hour.
I'm relishing the dark skies + the gentle breeze + crickets (are they really crickets? I've never seen one in my life!)
My mind's abuzz with 'revelations' if you wanted to give it a name.
I'm more than happy to share with you in person, if you'ld like.
Give me a 'tinkle' as my momma would say.

Also did you realise I've been more open lately?
Must be the summer nights.
I really must collate date, plug binary (of course!) data into eviews to generate a function for my mood-swings. A model to determine significant contributing factors for me to manipulate the significant variables to ensure consistent 'OH HAPPY DAY' moments!

GEEK.

Switched On.

I can't turn the lights in my head out.

Try having a 40watt bulb beamed in your face,

Feel the heat now?

Is This Life?

1 application down, and only but a gazillion to go.
Only week 3 and my days are spent at the library.

I'm not complaining, I'm just writing to tell you,

The Story of My Life.

In the words of Beethoven,

Muss Es Sein?

Es Muss Sein!

The 5 W's.

What if I had never left?
Who would I count as friends?
Where would I be right now on a Friday night?
When and will I, have I ever got my act together?
Why and would I ever have thought to write this?

ms. drama queen

oh kill me.

kill me now.

Run in circles, no more.

Be Thou My Vision
Ancient Irish hymn by Mary E. Byrne

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one

Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower.
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

Young Folks.

Those young 'uns are a refreshing change.
To serve as a reminder of who I was, and who I can still be.

p.s. its very cute and terribly sweet when one of them calls to encourage me.

to be.

fearless.
unstoppable.
a force to be reckoned with.
warrior princess. aheh.
HAPPY.

a milestone age indeed.

think otherwise.

i thought i had it.
but i don't.

DISCIPLINE.

Bible Study and black sesame bubble tea.
Homebrand scorched peanuts and late night safeway strolls,
the former you should never try.

cliche(s).

i can have anything i wanted,
yet still
lack everything.

The natural supply of water, which came by common providence, failed; but the miraculous supply of food, made sure to him by promise, failed not.
