5 Questions for Self-Discovery:

So, I found these five questions online and thought that they might be useful for helping people with their own self discovery and personal growth.  You can apply them to this community or to life in general, and you can be as detailed or brief with your answers as you would like.  Please feel free to share your answers here and to share your own ideas and suggestions!  :)   

1) Why are you here?

2) What would you like to learn?

3) What brings you joy?

4) What are you most afraid of?

5) What is one step you can take to move closer to your ideal life?

so sad this community fell apart.......so did all the others i was in.....last one who posted......

maybe livejournal just isnt' as popular anymore....maybe people got lives....maybe no one cares anymore....oh well...so goes life

Ohhhh dear i have a dilema!

Ok where do i start, well first off i went for the interview last week for subway, that went well.
I got a phone call the other day to say that i had been selected for a group selection with asda, i really want the job with asda as i have worked with them before and they are a good company to be with, plus when i become a student i need for them to be flexible for me as, i will need to have my hours cut, subway will not be able to do that, well least i don't think they will.
Now the fun begins, i got a phone call yesterday from subway, saying that the manager would like to meet up with me, to make her final decison, i said that was fine and i agreed to meet her today.
I thought about it for a quite a while and thought, i am going to phone them back and and say to them can i meet up on the wednesday instead,(to buy me more time with asda,) as with subway they are wanting someone to start straight away. as she did orginally say wednesday, or the monday, but i picked the monday as she did not tell me what time on the wednesday, the wednesday is when i have my group selection with asda, but the group selection is not until late afternoon, the subway meeting is early morning.
When i phoned subway up today saying that i could not make it today, the manager was fine with me but said that she was going to make her mind up today, but cos i am there top choice, she said that she will hold off until she sees me, the job thats available is 35hrs, which is great!
It is just such a mess, arghhhhhh!!, what do i do? do i take the job in subway and still go to the group selection at asda? or do i turn down the job in subway and then could end up with nothing argghhhhh!

Another new poem...

THE MOON


Behold!

The moon rises over the pallid sea and
The silvery mist of the meadows –
Silently one by one,
In the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossoms the lovely stars –
The forget-me-nots of the angels

Her level rays, like golden bars
Lie on the ground below
An eerie green with
Wild shadows cast in brown in between.
Silver white the waters gleam,
As if Artemis herself,
In enpassioned dreams,
Has dropped her silver bow
Down upon the quiet earth.


A very soft spirit worships -
One lovers know and love so well –
Whose influence over
All tides of soul has true power, and
Who lends a pale light to
Rapture and despair;

The glow of hope and wan hue of sick fancy
Are each reflected within the mirror of slivered rays
Lighting the path of meeting or of parting love -
Illuminating the mingling of and
The breaking of hearts one in the same…
An ethereal smile enthroned in beauty.


In the same breath,
The governess of floods -
Pale in her anger –
Washes all the air
That rheumatic diseases do abound.

Through this fit of temper,
We do see the seasons alter
victory against death

New Poetry

My muse, the vengeful little bitch that she is, is stirring there in my mind right now. She hasn't decided whether or not her presence needs to be forceful today, but it has inspired this...

The Muse


There, in the thicket,
Can you see it?
A half-wild beast supping on
A half-cooked stew,
Lingering close to the clearing
Yet not quite willing to enter.

Drawn in by the stench of
Eagerness and hope,
It releases a gut-wrenching snarl and
Enters,
Moving ever closer with
A gleam and a dare in its eye.

Do you have what it takes –
The depth of faith;
The constitution and patience to
Go as far as needed –
To tame the beast…
To train this thing?

The stench of a still life,
A snapshot of some story
Rattling about in your head,
Draws the beast ever closer –
Snarling, drooling, and
Ready for battle.

Suppositions, superstitions and
Half-finished stories –
The fruit of your imagination –
Is the stuffs of which
The beast creates and cooks
Its nightly repast.

Do you possess it –
The patience and passion necessary to
Tame the beast…
To tame your muse so that
You can put pen to paper and
Clear your wild mind?

The muse is in control yet again!

Music


A harmonious voice of creation
An echo of the invisible world
An outburst of the soul

A moral law which gives
Soul to the universe;
Wings to the mind;
Flight to the imagination;
Charm and gaiety to
Life and everything.

The art which is most apt to
Give way to tears and memory.

That which washes away from the soul
The dust of everyday life.

It speaks what cannot be expressed,
Soothes the mind, yielding to rest;
Heals the heart, making it whole again;
Flows from heaven to the soul.

It causes us to dance -
For laughter and tears;
Hopes and dreams;
Fears and madness;
Love and lust.

Music.

To stop the flow of music would be akin
To the stopping of time itself –
Incredible.
Inconceivable.

Music is enough for a lifetime,
But one lifetime is not enough for
Music.
