“Jagged Rusted Daggers” My Poem About Verbal Abuse

JAGGED RUSTED DAGGERS

WORDS CUT INTO FLESH

TONGUE TORTURED TURMOIL

A CHILDHOOD NOT LAID TO REST

A VIRUS HIDING DORMANT

DEEP WITHIN ITS PIT

AWAKEN IT WILL BITE YOU

INFECTIOUS SPREADING SPIT

WORDS HOW THEY BEAT YOU

BATTERED BROKEN BONE

A STILLNESS IN THE DARKNESS

A BITTERED SOUL ALONE

HOW DO WE STOP THIS?

THIS TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE

PATTERNED IN OUR CORE

TUCKED AWAY… UNSEEN

WHY DO WE UNEARTH IT

MAKE IT GO AWAY

WHY DO WE HOLD ON TO

THAT WHICH LEADS ASTRAY

REFLECTION… REJECTION… STUCK ON REPEAT

AND SO WE WALK THIS ROAD ONCE MORE

UPON… BEATEN TATTERED FEET

 

HE WHO SPEAKS WITH JAGGED TONGUE

SHOULD BE WEARY OF THE SONGS HE HAS SUNG

FOR HE BE KNOWN AS NOT A GENT…

BUT A WICKED ONE…

If there is constant drama in your life…

“If there is constant drama in your life and you really want your life to change… Then you need to take a step back and ask “yourself” why? You must set your ego aside and take a look in the mirror at “yourself”. The drama you are experiencing can not be everyone else’s fault all the time. What are your programs that are making you the play “the victim” and in what ways can you make a positive change in your life that will serve you better? Empower yourself.” ~ A thing or two by Mary Lou ~ Sending you love and light.

Let’s make it Women’s Day Wednesday!

I woke up today with the thought… Hey it’s Wednesday! Let’s make it Women’s Day Wednesday! Let’s start EMPOWERING WOMEN EVERY WEDNESDAY! So much so that instead of hump day, Wednesday becomes Women’s Day! Every day I wake up to my phone, reading emails, checking FB, etc. (I know I should probably start it off with water, food, exercise, meditation, etc. which I am going to start working on and THEN go to my phone, computer etc. and this means YOU too!) but I digress… So I read every day how my lady friends have drama with each other, fighting, telling lies, making assumptions before getting the facts, gossiping, feeling unloved by a man, cheating, feeling fat, feeling ugly, feeling, hurt, domestic violence, talking like a dirty filthy pirate, posting demeaning half naked photos of themselves for attention, etc. etc. etc. When are we ladies going to STOP with the nonsense and BE LADIES and talk to each other with respect and communication? When will the vicious cycle STOP and we start loving and empowering each other? We as women go thru enough daily pain with the media’s perception of perfection causing us to feel ugly while men and society expect us all to look like a photoshop’d photo. Daily we say hurtful things to ourselves, hating our bodies. Our monthly visitor pain comes, our hormones go crazy and so do we. We wear clothes that are too tight for us, spanx, high friggin’ heels, etc., etc., etc. I WANT ALL OF MY LADY FRIENDS TO STOP STOP STOP AND DO 3 THINGS TODAY!! 1. Look in the mirror, smile, and say I LOVE YOU ten times to yourself!! 2. HUG a lady friend or family member (a DEEP HUG not a one arm pat) 3. Share and Spread this message of love and support for women everywhere! Sending Love to you from Mary Lou!

Enlightened Epiphany

I just watched the history of Buddha. When I had my tattoo done by Luis Vargas. We had originally started it in 2006 but I had to learn 3 life lessons first before I finished it… We finished it in 2009. I had the spiritual lotus flower done with the om above for the same Buddhist reasons below but I had NO IDEA that it came from Buddha! I have spoken these same words below verbatim when people have asked me what my tattoo means! I am really tripping out in a good way right now! How did I know this?!?!?

(Buddhist value: Like a lotus flower that grows out of the mud and blossoms above the muddy water surface, we can rise above our defilements and sufferings of life)

Imagine that you are a lotus seed buried beneath a muddy lotus pond. There is mud all around you, and you can feel them clearly. Above you, above this muddy pool of dirt, mud and filth, are sunshine and air. You are not disheartened as you begin your journey towards the surface.

With a determined heart, you begin to wiggle in the earth. You grow roots deep, deep into the mud. Your little stem grows up slowly. Suddenly, “pop” you are out of the mud! Your stem grows higher and higher, taller and taller. You rise up slowly, fighting against the muddy water. All of a sudden, you are out of the muddy pond! You reach up towards the warm sun, shining down on you.

Your lotus bud begins to grow on top of your stem. It expands and grows larger and larger, finally bursting into full bloom. A white lotus flower. You stand beautifully above the muddy water, not dirtied by the mud from which you grow. You are white, fragrant and beautiful.

Everyone who saw you marvelled at your beauty! Your determination to grow out of the muddy pond reminds them of the Buddha and his journey towards Enlightenment. The Buddha, like a lotus, is determined to grow out of the muddy surroundings, that is the defilements and sufferings of life. He has done all that is to be done and he is showing us that we can all do it too. We may have defilements but we all have the potential of growing out of our defilements and achieving wisdom, like the Buddha.

You are a beautiful white lotus flower, and your role is to remind people to rise above their defilements and sufferings, just as you are arising above the muddy water and not dirtied by the mud from which you grow.

February 26, 2009  ~ My new tattoo!! I’m so HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!! It turned out sooooo beautiful!! I’m gonna be sore for a few days ha ha Thank you for being on my life journey with me
