I owe this to michael who always has kind words for my work...thankyou michael

               Orbit The Zenith...

When things go wrong don’t jump to believe that the times are bad...
Take the time to stop and think...maybe these are the good times...So even the bad things could not do more damage...
consider yourself spared...
Things could always get worse...
It might have been a great time or event that you could have made colossal but you did'nt cause you thought the picture was good enough...it's good but there's always room for better...and maybe the best...
Well look again! There’s could be more in store.

If your life seems meaningless...reconsider maybe it’s the most meaningful right now!
Cause it’s always better to face the truth than to live with lies...
Though often painful and destructive...it is the truth...the fact...the path...
and so the meaning...

While you are lost and wandering you’ll stumble on new paths...and you’ll find yourself with more Direction than ever.
Suddenly you’ll be walking and the wanderer in you will have wandered.

Ever motionless like still waters...left numb in pain of any kind... could have been a setback in your career or the demise of your love... remember feelings run in parallel to the depth of the situation...
Admit you are in pain...it’s progressive to go through life in acceptance than in denial
Don’t deny the validity of the past or the present situation...

Just go out and live life...to scale the acclivity...to fall hard and still rise but this time stronger...
To laugh at the imbecile you once were...to not just snivel when you are hurt and howl if you must...
To love unconditionally and still completely To grow each day and be a better person...
Just have the zeal to orbit the zenith!

******************************************************************************************
You don't have to understand completely to love completely...
Even the darkest night has a morning to meet
you'll understand someday...
Avanti rao

Well, I certainly did not expect to find this dedicated to me when I opened it.  Thank you so much, Avanti.  What a beautiful message this is too.  

You know, a year ago I was a very sick man.  I was coughing up blood every day from a hole in my left lung.  Doctors refused to operate because they didn't think I was strong enough to make it through.  I was literally staring death in the face - just waiting it out as it were.  

You are so right, things could always be much worse.  I finally did get an operation where they removed 1/2 of my lung, but I tell you what - it never felt so good.  Of all the things in the world, it made me realize just how sweet life was.  I will never take a breath of fresh air for granted again.  I live for today - and even though I let my sadness out in my poetry, for the first time in many years my life is not based on that sadness nor held back by it.  I have dreams and I plan on fulfilling them.  I will continue to love unconditionally.  I will "Orbit the Zenith" and I'll sure remember my true friends when I do.  Thank you, Avanti.


Michael

This is very nice...lots of wisdom in here. Some parts that really touched me and seem to apply to my life right now.   "cause its always better to face the truth than live with lies",  "admit you are in pain..its progressive to go thru life in acceptance than denial", "to love unconditionally..and still completely..to grow each day and be a better person."   James
