Share Your Thoughts

* What Are Your Thoughts? *
I created this space to offer you a place to share your thoughts. While most of the responses have been about my website (of which I am very grateful, thank you so much!) I'd like this space to be filled with real thoughts from real people about real subjects such as spirituality and religion, world conditions, humanity, Mother Earth and so on. Let's show positive diversity!

life...
We only get to live it once in this world
We get to make good or bad decisions
We pursue what we want to do in life

This is what I always tell myself
what's in store for the future...
what will I be
How I will be
what decisions I made as a youth will affect me as an adult

I hope my life will be good and others that i love... especially mom and dad who raised me as a kid

Ive been rebellious.. no doubt
I want to be good with you
Im gonna change
please forgive me
Youll see a new me one day

Love.... What I want
What I need
Im so tired of being lonely
If someone could help me find it
It would be great
please...

My thoughts.... AIron

Hey Brennie

Thank you, Jeff, that truly warms my heart and means the world to me. ~Brennie

I believe I did not come from here.
The spirituality I search for is way out there.
Beyond the milky way,
journeys to the stars,
they are my home,
my spirit sparks.

Sorry, I most often speak in poetry when it comes to writing. Anana-goodbye in Shiasym. That's because I'm...
Ajrnahasiyaha Vayahamani, Stachild!

~*~
Where to start?
Where to start?!
Where do I ever start?
I just start at random.
I'm a random person.
I have random thoughts,
random emotions
and spiritual experiences.
I came here searching for castles online,
castles of words on glass,
castles of poetry and the teachings of God,
the teachings of the universe and our own dear souls.
As you can see,
look how random I can be.
I went from one subject to the next,
in a flash,
a flickering of a candle flame.
The one thing consistent?
It is always that one flame,
flickering and dimming,
often becoming more radiant.
Someday it will be a wildfire...

Life is great, live it up, stop worrying, stop stressing. I wish we could change things but whats done is done, people, your alive, be happy-you could not be. And I know some people are gonna say that would be better-no it wouldn't!... sure, you may not have a great family, or great friends-but heres some advice-go on a hike, a real hike - look at the trees, and the grass-the sky and the water-you don't need anything except yourself! ...you are your own best friend! ...i know I cant change the world-and I don't want too. But I do want to change people who need a new look at life-hopefully I will, Who knows. Maybe you Will be doing sumthing and think about this. Then ive made an impact-small,but it is one!
Guys,
Live life
The end

Hello Brennie, Thank you for your story about saving Butter. It made me cry. I share your love for animals. I feel like you and I also sang love songs for my Great Dane Ludwig, who died in 2004 at age 11 1/2. I miss him eternally much and still cry about him. I sang blues songs for him that I created just for him alone. We still have the girl Samantha, she is a Great Dane mix with Labrador. I sing songs for her that fit her personally as well. She is my lovely English lady. She is very elegant.

Take care, Brennie, much love for you. Nicola

We live in a world of turmoil and strife and receiving is wonderful and adds much to our life.. But there is no joy like that of giving.. for opening our hearts makes life worth living. When you tuck your children in for the night, say "I love you" before you turn out the light.. because the next morning the children will recall, that your love is the greatest gift of all. J. Lynn

I don't understand how people claim to be one way and actually are another. I am around many woman that sit around and talk about me because I am Bi; beause I am going through a divorce and dating a mutual friend of ours; because I am just now what the percieve as perfect in their community. They have done vindictive and malicious things to me that have hurt other people and when I jump to that person's defense or if I say anything to them about it they shove all I say in my face. I believe in Karma and I believe that if they do malicious things than it gets them three fold and if I do something in defense of myself or family its justified. They belittle me for challenging everyday views, they berate my morals and values, they question my spirituality. I am at a loss as to what the right thing is to do anymore. abbykorinne

There is alot that i just dont understand. why cant someone have there right way of thinking. and express there way of thinking. but not get negative feedback. i understand life. alot of people dont. im not insane or f***ed up i just really love life and if theres answer to why this why that and i have exsplanations that arnt bull***t than im going to share them. :) .

some people realize some just .. wont ever. there to stuck up with all there negativity. but thats one thing that im working on is my negativity. i try and be a free running person and happy and loving towords other but just sometimes it gets alittle hard. but i am strong and i dont let little things bother me. because i understand that alot of people just dont get life like i do. and its not thre falt they know it. but they just havent found the way to it yet. but they will. its there.

i wish that i could get to everyone. try try try and exsplain just one simple little concept. that there is more to your thoughts. it dosnt sound very intresting and im only 16. but i know its all right.

disease and health, like circumstances are noted in thought. Sickly thoughtd will express themselves through a sickly body. Thought of fear has been known to kill a man as fast as a bullet, and they are continually killing thousands of people. The people that live in fear of disease are the people who get it. Anxiety quikly demoralizes the whole body. and lays it open to the entrance of disease, while impure thoughts, even if not physically indulged, will soon shatter the nervous system.

If there was no purpose to thought. Than why do we think. Why do we think into our head. not outloud? why cant we hear what someone else is thinking? i know why. beause we think for a reason the most inportant reason, for life. scientists cant study your exact thoughts, becuse than life would be changed. you have to "know" and feel your thougths, yourself, your life.

everything that you see, was created by your past thougths. and your current thougths will make your future. becuase your brain wouldnt try and find the place for your though to fit into. and make what you call, " your reality".

Remember the wish I sent about finding my pet rock? I finally found him... actually these other people found him in my teachers desk. I was so glad when I held him in my hands. I thought someone had smashed him. I realized something... that sometimes if you keep on thinking about a particular wish it won't come true. The moment Marcus came I hadn't thought about him for a while. So now, whenever I have a wish I forget about it after I make it. When I do that the results seem to come a lot faster! :D

In the moment that I saw her and read her sweet beliefs, Life took on a new meaning about friendship's love released.

I longed to hear her voice and to know she was sincere, She accepted my humble offer and my eyes let out their tears.

To have a friend so sweet to accept the love you give, Is to know that there is heaven on this earth where we all live.

Thanks is not enough and yet it is for gifts so preciously rendered, When two hearts and minds give love the joy it needs to be remembered.

Morning Bear

WOW!~ Thank you Morning Bear for sharing. Truly Beautiful... your words spoke to my heart in more ways than you could know, thank you. ~Brennie

It is very hard to express all that I am feeling at the moment, but I am going to try. God, in a way only God can, is showing me things beyond description! After 25 years of simply breathing, I am beginning to live! After discovering my gifts, I realized there is more to life than simply breathing. Our creator has worked in very strange ways, but I am simply glad to be in this moment, in spite of the fear that comes and attacks me like a vulture. Still, I am beginning to realize I am loved. When I open myself up to what is out there, I realize I can do anything if I just believe.

~*~
MY THOUGHTS?!!! I lost all of those when I read those words... my words... your remembered words of some unknown dance encounter with God you and I have shared. Now to know of it!! I am crawling with the touch of reaching you at last... I know of a stranger that shares my soul and together a song sings of an inspired dream... awakening me. In real time inspired here as I type this to you... Screaming for you to get this and the other post NOW!!! I am giddy and again a child dreaming into the day... hope I have found in this moment finding me here... oh my dear I'm taken away by this... it has been so long since the last time hope flickered in my eyes...

thank you for the dream of you breathing in this beautiful site... true. Breathless, I thank God, for this - you. Lana K.

Inspired dreams, title poem that you already know of... wow. Tytytytytytytytytytytyty thank you. My reflected of a shared gift of words in the wind... brings us to this... my friend... there is so very much to share for us both... busy days touched as the wind of inspiration moves...

My name is Shakayla and I'm so in love with poetry, the poems that I went over here today are so amazing. There were things I wish where true. I'm so happy that this is here and I could read over them.

~*~
I go one step forward and two steps back sometimes, yet I think what I am learning is that as I learn to love myself more, I learn to love others more; as I learn to forgive myself more, I forgive others more; as I learn that the world does not revolve arond me, I open myself to seeing how mch I appreciate others. Becase I didn't love myself, becase I pt myself down, I pt down the things I loved and cared abot and gave most of them away. I cry abot that all the time. It is only when I learn to vale myself and my own feelings that I can learn to vale the feelings of others. For so long, I looked for the approval of anyone "above me" becase I thoght they were all my higher power .. forgive me God for forgetting the importance of trning to yo.

Life is not what happens in the head... it is abot what's going on in the heart... becase it's the heart that grieves, it's the heart that loves, it's the heart that cares and that speaks the trth. I try to nderstand the importance of honesty, please help me with that... for every time we (I) are dishonest we tear into orselves and or self-esteem and become less of what we cold be. Thanks.

P.S. As yo may notice there is a letter missing.

It's me again... the person who is so confused about whether there is a God or not. Today there was a line of ants in my kitchen. So I got the bug spray and destroyed them. But when I see ants crawling around outside I just let them be. Is that what we are to the gods... just a bunch of pests crawling around the surface of the Earth? That sometimes they just let us be, but sometimes they decide we're a nuisance and destroy us? Why is it that some of us live in peace and prosperity, yet some of us have to face earthquakes, floods, starvation and the like? Why is that-I just don't understand. Is it by chance or by design? I wish I knew... I don't want to be an ant.

There are so many confusing things out there in the universe... things that I don't understand. But is it for us to understand? Like is there a God-I was always taught there was. So why doesn't he talk to us or communicate with us? Now I'm being told that maybe God isn't a person... more of an energy that is in each of us. I just don't know what's true. But if God exists, why does he hide from us... doesn't he want us to really know him instead of trying to struggle through this thing called life trying to figure it out on our own? Is that fair - I don't think so.

We are told that if we don't do as we're supposed to, that'll we'll be punished or burn in hell. I just don't believe that... that just can't be fair or right. Not when we're just left alone to try to figure out what's right or wrong. I don't mean the obvious stuff... we all know that it's wrong to kill, etc. But if one doesn't pray everyday, or go to church or live this perfect life, that somehow we'll pay for it. That can't be right. The one thing I do believe is that we all have power inside us... that if we BELIEVE, not necessarily in God but in OURSELVES that we can achieve what we believe. I think that we all have more power than we give ourselves credit for.

My dear Brennie: See my heart we as human beings are all acquainted with the misery, the pain, the darkness in our lives. When I came across your site my faith in humanity and god increased. My brothers and sisiters of the world let's become the insruments of God's mercy just by disarming smile, or by a kind look, or at least by a sincere prayer for each other. I LOVE YOU NOT ONLY FOR WHAT YOU ARE BUT FOR WHAT I AM WHEN IAM WITH YOU. ISMAIL MARUTHERI, INDIA.

In your 'Signs Intro' you mention that you intend on creating a page for people to share their experiences. I look forward to this especially if it is in a forum format similar to the dream forum you have. It will be interesting to get other people's views on signs that we believe we see and discuss similarities, etc.

Hi Brennie, I just want to let you know that I find your site truly inspiring, uplifting and enlightening. The poems and other writings are really impressive. There is a lot I can identify with (that's probably because I m also a Pisces with Pisces rising). I m very happy to have found this website.

~*~
I found your site today while looking for information and perhaps concrete evidence (if any exists) that the universe does guide and answers questions with signs.

I have been going through a very emotional time after the end of a long term relationship and have been asking for signs all over the place that would support my inner voice and strong intuition sense telling me we will reunite. I have been very specific too in the things I want to see and they have appeared. Funny thing is that sometimes I didnt even realize anything manifested until some time later. So I know I was not looking to create in my mind that I saw something.

I think there are still signs being presented to me, signs I have not particularly asked for but hold symbolism for me just the same. I have used this in the past for other not so sensitive times in my life and have trusted the signs and acted accordingly if need be. Now the lesson I guess is to learn to trust and have faith during a time like this.

Thank you. The information here helped me a lot.

My stomach started turning... You are the one i want. I almost gave up on love until your eyes met mine, and i felt something i had never felt before. My stomach started turning just as if i was riding on a roller coaster. At first, i thought it was something i ate, but when i didn't know what was happening until i caoght myself daydreaming about how i would feel in your arms. After weeks of denying it, I have to admit that you are the one i want to hold me all night through and to cheer me up when I'm down. I could go on foreever, but to make it short, I'm falling in love with you!!!

~*~
In a dark time, I found you. Of course! It was and is meant. Thank you all angels here:) Blessings,love & light ~Mare:)

Wow, Brennie, I think I've just connected with one of my Star sistah's ;) The things that you are saying and the way you are conveying them on here... you sound so much like me! I guess I shouldn't say you're fabulous after that ;) but you are! I have this "thing" with stars as well (they're twinkling on my main web site too) and I also have a deep love for color, especially violet... And I also started my web site adventure in 2003, same as you, no html and all (and currently working on 3 new ones)... and I use these thingees (~*~) all over the place, hee, hee ;) They say in these times we are being drawn to our soul family... :) Namaste, Star Sistah Dove~

The more that I wonder, the more I become lost. The more the mind thinks the more I become enlightened to who we really our in the vast reality in which we live our everyday lifes. All the illusions around you are so great nobody notices the beauty around the world. I have did all I could to continue and this is where we are now, in the dark still lost in our spirits forever. Ontill we all awaken and realize that everything we think in our thoughtless minds will always become that in which we think. Even though it is so so simple people continue to look for ways to keep it so complicated. No longer will I allow this world to be complicated whenever it is right infront of us all.

Out in the darkness is a beacon of Light that will overpower anything in the Lights way. That Light is you and only you, for it shines past our Universe and all others in the way of its goal to enlighten and be awaken in the souls of all. We are everything already living in Heaven, can't you see the magnificent events that happen everyday on this elegant planet that we call Mother Earth???

Life; Handle with Care: To achieve any kind of fulfillment you must care. Care enough to expect the best of yourself, and to expect the best of others. Care enough to challenge and to love, to give and to create. When you care enough to take action, you make a difference -- in your own life, in the lives of others, in the world. Caring is not easy. It takes effort, and it often hurts. Because caring is more than just a thought or a feeling. True caring is doing. It is vital to those you care about, and to you. The more you care, the more real joy your life will have. When you truly care, giving up is not an option. When you care, you won't allow yourself to become distracted. When you care, you are powerful and effective. When you care, life matters. Look around you at the beauty and abundance of life. Every day, remember to care. Fred, Hikers-Delight

If there was peace how would we know violence, and better yet if there was only love, would we know of hate? If there was only the color white, would we see black? If this all to happen, being one sided, would we have only day hours and no nights because we could have both? My whole thought is we need the "other" side for balance... why? So we can show our true colors, our true love and sit in a green field and pick yellow peddles off a daisy. I like to laugh and cry, be mad and to be happy. I like to break things, and build up other things. Are you one sided? One feeling? One color? If you think you are one sided, take a closer look...

"To Love Oneself Is The Beginning of A Lifelong Love Affair" -Oscar Wilde.

This quote waved to me from a store window just before Valentine's day. It quite literally took my breath away. The message which took so few words to express had the same excitment of a breeching whale for me... so out of the ordinary, so thrilling. I foolishly looked around for someone with whom I could share. Finding no one, I wished for the charisma of Robert Preston in the Music Man; a captive audience and few minutes to convince them to be smitten with Oscar Wilde's words and then to fall in love with themselves for having heard them.

It has taken me many years to understand loving myself. For most humans ther is much trial and error. There is so much resistance to being in love with this miracle of energy. We worry - 'but that is selfish or a sin or what if everyone only thought of themselves'. Well, if the truth were told, no matter what the outcome, very few actions are selfless. Even those we call Saints are living lives they feel drawn to live for themselves and their God, not for others. An this does not diminish those lives. It teaches us how to be closer. Closer to Awareness, God Goddess... If like them we honor our own truth through listening and loving ourselves, only good comes from that. No one is left behind. If we truly cultivate love and romance in ourselves those around us feel raised up and loved in our presence.

Love had enormous capabilites even without doing. The challenge is to - love before doing. Love before buying. Love before helping. Fill every cell, every fold, every organ, every thought with love, then see where love takes you. Oscar Wilde's life ended when he was 46 years old, poor, of cerebral meningitis. After many years as an acclaimed poet and writer he had been 'convicted' of having a love affair with another man in the 1900's.

I wondered if after two years of horrible prison conditions he was still romancing himself. These words he write a year or so before his death. "All trials are trials for one's life, just as all sentences are sentences of death, and three times I have been tried...the third time to pass into prison for two years. Society as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on just and unjust alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hand with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt; she will cleanse me in great waters and with bitter herbs make my whole."

Oscar Wilde Such beauty, forgiveness and equanimity he show in his relationship with nature. Only if he still held himself in sweetness could he have taken such comfort from her. May my love honor yours Mr. Wilde.

The sarcasm of life has sucked the tapestry of time right away from where it use to be and right away from where it belongs. many people don't even realize the purpose of life, they go about hier lives ignorant and lost; not even knowing they're lost. when are we going to realize what we really should be searching for? One day eveyone of us will die and there will be no escaping the truth. we may be able to out run it while we stand behind time but, time eventually runs out and it runs out when it's least expected.

We always look for the easy way out. We hide behind tradition, we make any kind of excuse we possibly can just so we can go gliding through life with out putting any consideration to what life is. Those who have nothing are better off, they become strong through adversity. the rich waste away in a false sence of security. If only we knew the truth? Prayer is the only way we can truly find the truth for our selves but, don't be fooled by trying to rush in. The path may be straight but it's the simple things that are often over looked. Patience must be learned and we must be tried as silver in the refiners fire. Strength comes only after we have been purifide.

First i want to Thank God for this opportunity to say that i admire this site and what all my brothers and sisters in truth have created. I'm reminded that in heaven we will feel the symbols expressed in poetry as reality. Poetry is a self thing and once expressed it brings hope. Enjoy your creativeness. Sincerely, Nancy Machuki

You are my idol! I have never read or felt so much beauty from one persons site. You are a God Child. You are awesome. Your poetry is spiritual & full of what makes us beautiful. I'm in tears. God bless you, child. I feel so strongly about giving back to the world. You do that so well!!! I'm trying to think of how to post your site on mine other than just a banner. I'd be honored to share you with others.

~*~
Brennie...what a wonderess web site you have created...gorgeous! I'm sure everyone that visits here comes away with something good in their heart. I especially liked your Quotes page, brennie, & here is a quote that I love that maybe you would want to add. It's from Gandalf, the Wizard in the "Lord of the Rings": "It's not how much time you are given, but what you do with the time that you have".

~*~
Hi Brennie, I found your website through (youdonkey.com) and he's right, that you have put a lot of thought into this site to make others feel better about themselves and honestly you do. I am the one who "wished" to be out of this wheelchair forever and ever, it's not came true yet, but I'm still hoping it will. Thank you, Jeff

What a place to go to for absolute solitude! What a great job and a great idea for a website. Love the Dream Forum! :)

THANK YOU!! I woke up from a nightmare at 5:10am this morning. I prayed like I never had before that the nightmare never come true and I instantly felt a peace come over me! I began looking for inspirational input--I found this website! I not only plan on returning but will recommend it to others!

~*~
Good morning! I've found my self looking for inspiration once again, and again, I've found you! Thanks for being here. I love your favorite quotes and would like to share one of mine with you: "My past is a speed bump, my life an open road. I am my own driver; I'll decide where I go." I've told several people about this site with hopes that they will enjoy it as much as I have.

Take care and God bless!

~*~
Hi Brennie! You don't know me, but I've been visiting your site off and on for the last few months. I think you have some wonderful poems and thoughts on this site; I write poems myself sometimes, but there have only been a few times I think I've done as well as you. I've thought about crawling out of the woodwork and telling you thanks for sharing all your beautiful work with the world for a while now, but just never did it. So anyway, thanks for putting this site up and sharing what's in your heart with the world. If you have no objections, I'd like to link you from my own webpage; just let me know if it's OK. And have a wonderful evening. Namaste, John
