You know that moment when you just sit back and think about life and say to yourself, "where would I be right now if I would've made different decisions in my past? If I would've made a right turn instead of a left, where would I be standing right now? If I would've driven just a little bit slower and actually enjoyed the trip I was taking? That moment when someone told me not to do something and I did it anyway." Should you regret some of the things you've done in your life? Maybe if you wouldn't have done those things, your life would be better, maybe even worse. We've all done things in our past that we aren't proud of, but we just have to move past those things and continue forward. Sometimes it's the small things that affect your life in a major way and the big things may have no effect at all. Should you tip toe through life, remaining cautious at every turn you make? Or should you put the pedal to the metal and roll over every speed bump you encounter. Take a second to think. If you had the choice to change your past, what would you change? Would you change the way you reacted to someone who disrespected you? How different do you think the outcome would be? Would that one moment of retaliation be worth all of the trouble it may cause? All in all, It's not about where you come from, but where you want to go. Never be a product of your environment. If you believe in god, I don't think he wants you to fail in life. Just think about all the things that you go through and make it out of with no problems. He has a plan for everyone, and they are all different. He doesn't have a plan for anyone to fall and never get back up. Just trust and believe in yourself and know you can accomplish great things. Never belittle yourself and say what you can't do. Never say you regret the decisions that you've made in your life and never say you wish you could turn back the hands of time. There is nothing wrong with your life, you just have to gra

I discovered many years ago that writing poetry is therapeutic for my anxious mind. Scribbling down words and rearranging them to form a poem, enables my unruly thoughts to escape from my head. This little book contains a selection of thought provoking, but ultimately, uplifting poems, composed by the author. That's me! The poems are complimented by the true story of how I developed my writing skills. First attempts in those early days were filled with fun and laughter for my family and friends. As I journeyed through life and experienced the highs and lows of living on this planet, my poetry became more inspirational and I am told, helpful to others struggling with bereavement, anxiety or just coping with today's fast pace of living. I hope you enjoy reading Take A Walk Through My Mind and perhaps will be inspired to put pen to paper yourself. Go For It!

Great poetry calls into question everything. It dares us to break free from the safe strategies of the cautious mind. It opens us to pain and joy and delight. It amazes, startles, pierces, and transforms us. It can lead to communion and grace. Through the voices of ten inspiring poets and his own reflections, the author of Sacred America shows how poetry illuminates the eternal feelings and desires that stir the human heart and soul. These poems explore such universal themes as the awakening of wonder, the longing for love, the wisdom of dreams, and the courage required to live an authentic life. In thoughtful commentary on each work, Housden offers glimpses into his personal spiritual journey and invites readers to contemplate the significance of the poet's message in their own lives. In Ten Poems to Change Your Life, Roger Housden shows how these astonishing poems can inspire you to live what you always knew in your bones but never had the words for.

An Ancient Collection Reimagined Composed around the Buddha’s lifetime, the Therigatha (“Verses of the Elder Nuns”) contains the poems of the first Buddhist women: princesses and courtesans, tired wives of arranged marriages and the desperately in love, those born into limitless wealth and those born with nothing at all. The original authors of the Therigatha were women from every kind of background, but they all shared a deep-seated desire for awakening and liberation. In The First Free Women, Matty Weingast has reimagined this ancient collection and created a contemporary and radical adaptation that takes the essence of each poem and highlights the struggles and doubts, as well as the strength, perseverance, and profound compassion, embodied by these courageous women.

A decade's worth of poems by one of our most reliable witnesses, National Book Award finalist Thomas Lynch. In his fourth collection of poems, Thomas Lynch attends to flora, fauna, and fellow pilgrims: dead poets and living masters, a former president and his factotums, a sin-eater and inseminator. Faux-bardic and mock-epic, deft at lament and lampoon, fete and feint, Lynch's poems are powerful medicines, tonics for the long haul and home-going. from "Walking Papers" You can think of it as punctuation and maybe take some comfort from that, friend— a question mark or exclamation point— no matter, we're all sentenced to an end, the movers and the shakers, bon vivants, all ne'er-do-wells and nincompoops, savants, sage and sluggard, deft and daft alike: everyone's given their walking papers.
