| - A symbol of purity as it rises from muddy waters in all it's beauty. - It essentially represents the clarity of heart as well as the mind. - It also represents strength, long life as well as honour and respect. - It has been used to indicate different meanings in different circumstances. - In a relationship, it is normally used to mean being totally in love with someone and being forgetful of all that has happened in the past between you. - It is also used in Asian religions especially in India to represent awakening to the spiritual reality of life. |
“Love the heart, Love the soul, without judgment should be the goal.” ~ #ArtsieladieQu

"My Stubborn Heart"
| Why can't my stubborn heart see That you really are the one for me? You're always caring, you never judge, You never hold against me any grudge. You stand by me through thick and thin, Even when not as nice as I could've been. You're always patient, always kind, Even though my heart is blind. My mind does see, my mind does know, But it's my heart running the show. It's not that I don't Love you, Because in fact I truly do. But there's one still in my heart, It will not let him to depart. I can only hope one day he'll be gone, So my heart can see a brand new dawn, In which the place that you should be Is in my heart, instead of he. |

"When we count our blessin's, include the lessons, for we will then live a life full of gratitude, nurturing an attitude for Love, peace, and harmony to thrive within us." ~ Quotes-By-Artsieladie
Truth Vs Spinners
When lies you have told and the Truth covered up,
Don't expect peace to be served in your cup,
Nor on your dinner plate, main course or dessert,
Lies are tempting but ultimately hurt
Not just those who are lied to, deceived,
But worse, the ones who, the lies, have conceived.
Truth will be whispering just softly at first
Easily dismissed, as the lies are rehearsed,
But with each rehearsal, a hole is discovered,
Another lie's needed to keep lies covered.
The web's been started, the web's begun,
A log must be kept as the lies are spun,
For even one tiny miss, one slight overlook
And the weave will unravel in the log keeping book.
The more spinners involved, the more lacy lies
Need to be spun to keep the disguise.
For the Truth ever lurking, so closely watching,
Is grinning triumphantly, noting the botching.
Each missed logging, each one out of place,
And the Truth gains ground with a smiling face.
While the spinners waste energy on keeping track,
The Truth saves energy for a strategic attack.
At some point the spinners begin to awaken,
Realise the Truth won't accept being taken.
As the Truth circles, psyched and ready,
Bullets of guilt, released markedly steady,
Relentless, continually, shot after shot,
The spinners are targeted, not forgot.
The Truth won't recede nor will it retreat,
Until all the lies spun are met with defeat.
The consciences of guilt, flushed out each one,
Taunted and tormented til the deed is done.
The Truth won't stop its deployed brigade,
Until for the lies all the dues've been paid.
The guilty conscience that turns inside
In an attempt to escape, to cower, to hide,
Will not beat the Truth or the war win,
Because guilt will devour the host from within.
So all of you spinners of lies take heed,
Truth has your number even before you proceed.
It just enjoys watching as you foolishly plunder,
And spend all your energy while yet you wonder
How your lies surfaced, became revealed,
Signed and delivered and by Truth unsealed.
Spinners of lies wonder no more
When the Flames of Truth are at your door.
Remember this, for lies you've spun,
Truth'll shoot you with your own lying gun.

| "When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a long time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it -- always." ~ Mahatma Gandhi |
..And I do know this. The pathway of the truth is not just always the best, but it is always the right path.
Just RIDICULOUS!!!!
Facebook: "Oh, peeps, this is a "social" site. We have installed many features for you to be 'social' and interact with each other. There's the 'like' feature, friend feature, sharing feature, tagging feature, commenting feature, etc.. We will and do encourage you every which way but loose to use these.
But... then we will and do enjoy being the Big Bully and we will and do use these same features to bully, ostracise, ban, jail, humiliate, embarrass, etc. you 'socialites' because we, Facebook, feel so much better about ourselves when we do these things to purposely annoy those who are the ones who really help us to make money hand over fist. Facebook just wants you users to feel "appreciated". We hope you all are enjoying your Facebook experience because we at Facebook certainly are!"

So many people are under the impression, false assumption, that Facebook is doing its users a huge favour by offering 'free' signup and use of the site, when the truth of the matter is, there wouldn't BE a Facebook in existence IF there weren't "users" and by "using" the data and information the users post, tag, share, etc., Facebook makes billions of dollars off of its users. So the next time you think as a user, Facebook is being so generous, Facebook REALLY isn't.

"In the darkest soul seek a Light
Something positive, beautiful, right,
And in your own heart will remain
No room for hatred's control to gain."

“Only when our Love is tried and tested, do we know how deeply our own heart is invested.” ~ Quotes-By-Artsieladie
"Tested Love"
Loving someone at their best
Is easy to do when there's no test.
But when at their worst your Love remains
True and strong through storms and rains,
The Love is genuine and is true,
With anything you'll make it through.
