“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”

"Life has not been the easiest, but it could have been worse!" MwsR
Life is about doing all you can to help others.
Don't go chasing rainbows, make your own pot of gold.
Love, Hope, Faith, the greatest of these is Love!
Seals and Croft, Hummingbird/Song Share
Oh hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you to come flying along.
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong. We’ve harmed you.
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings. Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha.
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness, oh source of our being, oh hummingbird.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
In you I’ve found a fragrance. I’ll love you ’til I die.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don’t even know the reason why.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly.
I just love you, love you, love you. I don’t even know the reason why. Now,
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
Haven’t you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices whisper in us all.
Haven’t you noticed the rays? The spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning for us all.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.

Devils Delight
Stranger than fiction it starts and continues
Wondering eyes are trying to follow your every move, hoping to escpaee all that you do not want to endeavor
Dealing with things becomes so mundane
the rest of this life can be a pleasure fair for you if you give in to the devils delight
take a life because no one cares, hurt another because you can. let go of your conscious self and rest in the mirror of a façade. Twisted meaning is given to everything, twisted thought with no moral compass, the devil seeks to dvour us all should we let our guard down for one moment of our little time here on earth he is waiting in our shadows, watching for the right moment to bring us to him. He does not care who is affected see that is the power of selected memories and games he likes to play. He is strong when you think that is wht you need, he is bold when you feel you have no strength, he is fierce in that he can plow down anything that keeps you from being his. He is the master of disguise, master of the night and discourager of the heart. He delights in our demise and our suffering. He makes you see thing sthat are not real, he has you believeing that he is the way to bring about your utter most desires. He thinks that iif you will relax he he aill capture you and your heart. he does not like to fight for your affection if you follow him and partake in his desires or delight he will want you day and night. Things that use to matter will all be obsolved, he will not care for them and will want you not to yourself. He is srange yet the easiest thing youu will ever choose. He makes the things you most want the things you must mhave. He really is clever, wise and cunning. he will offer you the moone and stars and leave you with sadness and disappointment seeking to find something else to comfort you, you will hold out your hands ana dhe will grab onto them and suck you into his ways, his desires, hs Delights. he is vermon and he is the ruler of his twisted kingdom, on this very earth. If you believe him to be light of the world, you will be sorely disappointed.

Word of the Day : October 1, 2018
manifesto
noun man-uh-FESS-toh
Definition
: a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer
Did You Know?
Manifesto is related to manifest, which occurs in English as a noun, verb, and adjective. Of these, the adjective, which means “readily perceived by the senses,” is oldest, dating to the 14th century. Both manifest and manifesto derive ultimately from the Latin noun manus (“hand”) and -festus, a combining form of uncertain meaning that is also found in the Latin adjective infestus (“hostile”), an ancestor of the English infest. Something that is manifest is easy to perceive or recognize, and a manifesto is a statement in which someone makes his or her intentions or views easy for people to ascertain. Perhaps the most well-known statement of this sort is the Communist Manifesto, written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to outline the platform of the Communist League.

Examples
“Mr. Eddie Lampert, the chairman of Sears Holdings and mastermind of the Kmart/Sears merger … famously published a 15-page manifesto in 2009 which covered everything from the economic meltdown to civil liberties, and contained a suggested reading list that included free-market Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek.” — Mary Jane Quirk, Consumerist, 8 Jan. 2013
“American Audacity is the rare example of a collection that coheres into a manifesto. Its essays were published during the last seven years, many in The New Republic and The Daily Beast, on topics as various as the art of hate mail, Herman Melville’s life and the Boston Marathon bombing….” — Nathaniel Rich, The New York Times, 19 Aug. 2018
