“But rains pour down upon us, storm clouds darken the skies and we get lost in the storm. Have you been there? Wandering in the darkness, crying out only to be greeted with utter silence?"

~ Lesley Hitchens ~



"God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us in the dreariest and most dreaded moments can see a possibility of hope.”

Particles of Sand, Rain Like Shards

How the world can still spin after so much goes wrong it amazes me.... So many are so dumbed down that they don't see the enemy right in front of them, ready to devour.

I'm listening to Audiomachine again and when I do, it's like it just feeds my writing energy and thoughts so you have been warned.
As the rain gently falls today, I can't help but think of it as it being God's tears over the grief in his heart over the world be so full of hate, greed, poverty, hate filled humans killing their young in awful ways, the sad state that we as the world have become.
Yet I also see the rain as it is when a storm is blowing in, high winds causing the rain to sting our faces like tiny glass shards from something previously shattered, the winds sweeping us off our feet and onto our faces in helpless and hopeless fury with no signs of mercy in the ongoing rage.
Someday there will be victory on both sides of that. As each storm passes, hang onto knowing that it will pass, eventually. We rise to victory only to be pushed down by a wave of hurt but we shall stand again and this time not fall. We walk through those problems and see the light. It may take weeks, months, years but we still have the light and hope to go on.

Each second in time passes like a grain of sand on the beach, all going to and from the vast oceans across our planet. Each grain of sand didn't start out like that. They started from one solid piece of earth and over time as it got more and more worn, the more it broke down till it eventually became millions or perhaps billions of particles of sand. I'd imagine there are probably as many particles of sand on our planet as there are stars in our galaxy.

Yet people claim there is no God, it is just happenstance that we are all here, as we are now. Yet with how dark this world is, I can see why some question if there is a God.
When will we wake up? "We are but sparks lost in a hostile universe. But together, our sheen may bathe this world in glory!" - Garrett Gregory
Nations, kingdoms and empires that are divided, will fall like a house of cards....... When we are united, we would be an army undefeated. The greatest battle we humans are within is the battle with every individual self. And that battle is led within ourselves,and that is a battle for the greater "I".
Deluded mind is our opponent,and it's up to us to change it. Yet will we change it? Are we all really only for ourselves anymore? Working at our jobs just to make money, buying our kids the latest things so they will shut up and let us do what we want, then wonder why they want nothing to do with us later.... Is it all about making everyone else happy when in reality we are dying inside? That inner death causes us all to become cold and calloused to everything and everyone around us to the point where even the horrors we see on the news or social media doesn't even phase us anymore. No outrage (Unless it's about political correctness) no sadness, no sorrow, no empathy, no compassion, just every man and child for himself. Seeing a child get beaten to death with no punishment to the murderer, the elderly forced to starve to death in their own feces, healthCARE having no regard to the CARE of others, just making money and forcing those who really need CARE to suffer and possibly die just to gain a bigger profit. Governments spending on themselves and politicians to the point of debt that can't be saved on the blood of those who died to make the nation what it now is. 

Is that how many think it works? Is this what we are as humans now? Is this what we have become?

We are all individually just merely a tiny speck of sand trying to find our place in the world... Trying to find our purpose, our meaning of life, our dreams and hopes all vying to either come true or shatter into tiny sharp shards piercing our hearts in just a moment in time. Is it that there is so much evil and hate in this world that we all have grown cold knowing that those titans will be after us, just ready to throw us to the abyss at a moment's notice? Yet if we all were united and heated, each of us that is a grain of sand will become glass, that can be used for beauty, protection and as a weapon.
Which will we all choose? 

Reincarnate My Heart :
Here comes the darkest part
Of the world, ripping lives apart,
Filled with rage and fear
Like the end is getting near,
When the truth is found no more
Don't give up nor ignore,
Scrape together all your strength
Arise for your love and fight to death,
Though the celestial sphere has darkened
It should never be forgotten,
That you've promised to always stay
To never give up and run away,
As the sky is falling apart
Always remember in your heart,
After each and every rain
To heal all your wounds and pain,
Emerges a radiance of seven shades
Like how a true love never fades....
~~ Fiona BlueStar (YouTube) ~~


So much hurt, pain and anger almost everyone carries. The older we get the worse we get. Maybe better in a sense since we all wear masks to hide from everyone else in the world. Perhaps that's why Jesus said to be like the little children. They have not let the world harden them, and those that have still have the chance to be healed, given the right people. Our bodies are nothing but a place where we choose to have the soul within us be seen. The good, bad and ugly. 


The Nameless Heroes
By: Silent Watcher

Here they stand
In a world of great sorrow.
In a world of lost values.
Here they stand
In a land of great beauty.
In a land of hope.
They who watch from the shadows.
Here they stand
In a paradox of painful joy.
In a sea of confused waters.
Where the titans walk among the dwarves.
Here they stand
In a place they can't seize.
In a place they can't exist in. 
Through time they see.
Through ages they form.
A myth they can't unsee.
Here they stand.
Among history's greatest.
Among history's nameless.
In unwritten times they be.
In unrevealed events they do.
Here they stand
Among thieves.
Among gods.
Among ghosts.
The last men standing.
The last men hoping.
No songs to be sung.
No stories to be told.
Here they stand.
World's fearless warriors.
World's nameless heroes.


I took one of those supposed personality quizzes this morning. It said I was an emotional introvert. I wouldn't say I am overall an introvert but... "Most defining characteristics: You are sensitive, melancholic and a perfectionist.

You are a very emotional, caring and dedicated person. You believe that there is a bigger picture in life, one that we can’t really see, but we can feel. 
You are very compassionate, strong minded, and devoted to your beliefs. 
Although you tend to get melancholic, your ability to empathize for others is a true gift and you possess a sort of kindness that is rare."

I do get melancholic fairly often.... I definitely agree with that. Frequently when I get lost in thoughts that is when my mind goes all over the place, usually flirting with melancholy but not in the sense of depression. It's different. Just sadness for where we are, the issues all around us, yet nobody willing or able to stand up and fight it hard enough that it makes a difference. There is a darkness in this world that exists at the edge of thought. Sometimes, in moments of silence, it creeps too close. The air is too thick to breathe. Can't catch ones breath. An  anguished cry crawls up your throat, begging for release.  But you hold it in. You wont let it hurt anyone else but yourself. 


Fire today, Frost tomorrow
If hate progresses greed will follow
Who's here to tell us whats right or wrong?
Is our morality ultimately strong?
Or is it a figment of our imagination?
Like emotion, just another sensation?
Do we do the things we do, just because they're right?
Or are we all evil when out of sight?

Not all wars will be won that we fight. We can hope for the best but sometimes we will walk away defeated. There are days when the storm just will suck us under.... Those days it's only God who keeps us alive.... I don't mean just physically either. Every single day we are at war, the war between our heads and our hearts. Often what is at stake is our very soul or the souls of others around us. Heavy burdens that we often feel we can't keep carrying, especially when the weight is added to by rain, sand, wind, and darkness. 


Make your heartbreak the reason you succeed. May God give you the strength to face each day's new battles or the ongoing ones with wisdom, patience and guidance. May the burdens we carry be lifted... May each of as a grain of sand on Earth make a difference to those titans who try to defeat us into the abyss. May the stinging rain and wind in our lives not stop us from going to battle, even when we know we stand against Goliath. It was just a rock David used that killed the giant. Victories will come, even if there are times we don't see it. I think it is then in those moments we need to look back and see where we have come from, where we have been and survived and remember that if we can get through some of those impossible places we once were, we can again.
