Power comes with the knowing of a thing; these visions that lie within us all.
Each of us seek peace and understanding in our own individual light,
yet there are times when that light is dimmed; darkened by the rants and diatribes of others and... most often, ourselves.

Man is his own worst enemy, it is a fool that blames God for his misfortune.
It is a fool that clambers to self deprecating  perpetration's.
How is it that we can believe in God, and then not give him the opportunity to bestow his blessings?

For each day indeed is a blessing bestowed by him.
To some it may sound as though I am preaching, or that I am dictating an order of thought. Far be it, for I am simply sharing my version of common thought.
Understandably, all pallets will not cotton well to the taste that I have developed.
Nevertheless, It is a thought process that will continue, If there is any righteousness within me, it is that of self. I will not purport to be all knowing, for in the true sense of the word, I am not.

this is a simple opinion of only one. It may not be pretty, it may not even be poetry, so for minuscule point I will not depend. It is far better to spill this cup of self perceived truths. So, Power is in the knowing of a thing, in the knowing of one's self. The inclusion of which, should also be our weaknesses and our strengths.
yes this knowingness, once truly, truly revealed; will lead us to the natural journey of our lives, where we will walk unopposed, unimpeded for then and only then, we will find ourselves in the truth of this thing we call life.

Peace of  mind can only be achieved when we find peace with self
