The past is gonethere is only today and thoughts of tomorrow. Yet the past still haunts usaffecting our decisions todayprohibiting us from the freedom of tomorrow. Each time there is something newwe think about the pastforget to live for todayand worry about tomorrow. It is time to let go of the pastfocus on the beauty of todayand hope for all the joys that may come tomorrow. -T~January 1, 2009

“The root cause of almost all people problems is the basic communication problem – people do not listen with empathy. They listen from within their autobiography. They lack the skill and attitude of empathy. They need approval; they lack courage.” When you listen, you transform a relationship by understanding another world view, thereby changing your own.

My mind spins in circlesWondering if I’ve ruined all that is goodCausing you to run away… How do I stop myself from thinking?How do I stop myself from worrying?How do I stop myself from hurting? My heart beats rapidlyThinking of you and how you might be feelingHoping you’ll not run away… -T~December 26, 2008

You… Is it true?
You said you would be willing to tryWhen it comes time to say good-bye. You said you wouldn’t share,Does it mean that you really care?

Slowing Down
It’s because we’re adopted that we are rushing to love rushing to be loved rushing to fit in rushing to be accepted rushing to be known rushing, rushing before it slips away like our mothers like our fathers like our native land like our native language It’s because we’re adopted that we long to be loved to be accepted and to be allowed to just slow down… -T ~December 10, 2008
