Wisdom, beauty, and strength is what I see when I see you. When you see yourself, you see success, accountability and strong-will. When others see you, know that they see hope and attainability. When God sees you … he sees his Masterpiece. He loves you unconditionally. I stopped by to remind you that he has everything concerning your life in the palm of his hands… trust that when the road gets bumpy … around the curve, it will be smooth again … thank you for resting in him and letting him carry you to your highest level of expectancy. Remain confident my friend in knowing that greater blessings are on the way …

HI
I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out.

now she' s walking through the clouds with a circus mind that s running wild

We want you to forget about today, about yesterday, and about tomorrow. Tonight we’re gonna create a whole new world. - May 3rd 1968 - Talking to the crowd about his arrestation by customs in Toronto.

"Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens"

Excuse me while i kiss the sky

The one that rambles for a million miles, yes, I walk down this road searching for your love. - Gypsy Eyes

When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power the world will know peace.

Hurray I awake from yesterday, Alive but the war is here to stay So my love Catherina and me Decide to take our last walk thru the noise to the sea Not to die but to be reborn Away from the lands so battred and torn Forever...........

the story of life is quicker than wink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye, until we meet again.

JIMI HENDRIX

I'm tha diamond in tha dirt and I ain't been found. I'm tha underground king and I ain't been crowned.#50 Cent

When you feel down and out Sing a song, it'll make your day. -Earth, Wind, and Fire

Don't be afraid, just believe (Mark5: 36)
