Poetry On Odyssey: The Defined Blur

"As I strut on through the blur, forever and always towards thee."

Poetry On Odyssey: The Defined Blur

Not piercing, nor shuddering, but simply all is cold.

For life is about to, it seems, unfold

Before my eyes

And throughout the skies...

In the defined blur.

The generous blanketing of this space

That was begotten by the face

Of a man presently at home by the fire,

And all I do is walk and stalk…

Through the defined blur.

Gazing, perhaps searching, expeditiously for you,

Along the white-lines of the pew

Made up by the glory of this street,

Stupefied by the religious persistence…

Of the defined blur.

My vision is fogged, but ever so clear,

My limbs are numb, but not from fear.

For, the time, though late, is no stake

To pause my stroll towards you and for you…

Within the defined blur.

My heart doth stir.

The wind doth whir

Through the limbs of the trees

And through the limbs of me.

But it sustains this beautiful white cloud

Encompassing everyone, all to be wowed,

Of the ever-presence…

Of you and me,

As I strut on through the blur,

Forever and always towards thee.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
