Looking for Cloisters


Hello fellow outcasts
Mornin' Non-members
Sneetches without Stars
on bellies of thars
Created equally
Different at birth
Living Life
Discovering Borders
Wherein Venturing
Separated by Resilience
Care to connect?
This work in Progress
Physical Walls
 contain,
 restrain
Mental Walls
confuse
deceive
Ah this internet
turns thought into microbe
allowing visa free travel;
these are the blessings
of healthy addiction
to growth
Just Asking

What's our Name?

From 
Ted.Com

"Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing and revived a human social unit from the distant past: tribes. Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change."

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

I would be honest, for there are those who trust me.
  —Howard Arnold Walter


Some of those around us seem to see only the good in us. They trust and respect us, even when we ourselves may not feel we deserve it.

A young girl once talked about her grandfather. She said, "He was the only person in my life who saw the good in me." She mentioned that she sought to please her grandfather and not disappoint the trust, which he placed in her. He brought out the best in her because of the way that he looked at her. Each of us can be like this grandfather by focusing on the good in other people. We can use our spiritual eyes to see love, honesty, trustworthiness, and unselfishness in the heart of another. As we look for the good, we are doing our part to help create it.

Do I see the good in those around me right now?
