All The Ifs...
If time were of the essence, would you spend yours with me
If I dared to dream, would you be my fantasy
If I accepted life's journey, would you be my guide
If I got down and proposed, would you be my bride
If ever the time came for us, would you accept our fate
If I uttered the phrase "I Love You", would you have any words to say
If I told you I wrote a book, would you want to be showcased in a chapter
If I stated that you were beautiful, would you think me to be caught up in your rapture
If I told that I was tired of waiting, would you say my wait was done
If I said I wanted to make 1 and 1 into 2, could I do that arithmetic with you
If all the ifs were simply questions affixed to our time line, would you pass by gingerly, or stop, stare, read, and take care to answer, with me.
If...

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather, we have
those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle
The presence of virtuous acts does not in fact make us virtuous. Deception is an affront to goodness and virtuosity. In time your true colors will shine through for you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Courage under fire, bravery in the face of fear, conviction of character, humility in ones achievements and endeavors. Many a conscious effort go un -applauded, but not unnoticed. However these are not meant to be praised, for they build us spiritually, emotionally, mentally. Be you, the true you, for anything else is a lie.

"Modern families are neither composed of blood nor water, but rather, an infinite mix of the two".
Gone are the days of kin simply referring to a blood relation. To date, some of my closest family has been comprised of those whom fate has blessed me with, and not those I was born with. Family supports, nurtures, aides, and in those oft-needed times, offers invaluable and blunt criticism. At times they tend to encroach upon our lives causing instantaneous discomfort, yet we accept and welcome these acts because they are family. In person, or long distance, family is always there, even when they are not, for even they're absence speaks volumes. When surrounded by family we are afforded the opportunity to see our past, develop the present, and embrace our future. Through their faces we see us. Know where you come from, and embrace and learn from those generations past, lest history repeat itself. Live love life

"What a tangled web we weave, when first we aim to deceive"...
Playing with ones emotions, is a dangerous game to play. Such things should not exist in healthy relationships, but now and then they find the way in the door. Lies and deceit have no place in life and love. If this is your aim, then please move on, or better yet, don't start to begin with. Do not take comfort in hurting, tricking, lying too, breaking another down, because in the end it is you who will pay for these grave errors. Lies, adultery, secret children, violence, theft, std's. Your union should not read like a wrap sheet. Your partner should not act as the parole board, weighing your 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th chance. To do so is ludicrous not only on your part, but should be unfounded on theirs. Granted, love beats not from logic and reason, but the gravely illogical and unreasonable should cause the inverse reaction. Live learn love. But play no games when doing so. Be forthright. And you will be blessed.

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T, it should mean the same to you as it does to me"...
Respect is one of those things aft taken for granted. Always commanded, but nigh given. When addressing and interacting with people, you should do so in accordance with the level of respect you wish to be reciprocated. In being condescending to others, you should expect entirely and unequivocally to be treated in the same regard. Respect is one of those many powerful yet simplistic things in which everyone speaks about yet simply fails to understand. A word which encompasses acts, thoughts, and emotions. In the event you feel you are not being given your due, simply let professionalism and courtesy lift you higher. Silence speaks volumes, and kindness overwhelms.

She
Why do people play with your heart, your mind
Why torment the soul
Where do i go from here, I'm lost
Who will find me, how do i find myself
I'm stuck, falling, sinking deeper
My sorrow, my grief, my pain pulls me down
A light shines, I can barely see it who stands before me
Reaching in to save me
Can she help
I reach back, i see her
Come closer, closer, she's in front of me
She's...

"Men are from mars, woman are from venus, and relationships can be a pain in YOURanus"...
It will always be a chore to be able to understand the opposite sex as we have many a different view on a plethora of subject matter. Often men have one understanding, woman have another, and within the union itself occurs a whole another instance. A mish mash of overflowing ideas, thoughts and expectations. The best tool to have in your arsenal is effective interpersonal communication. The ability to talk, listen, interpret and respond is indeed a great thing. And like all things, it takes practice.
Live well, talk long, fight less...

In knowing me, would you assume to know me
Richard, RdotGreen, RichnerD
Who am I, who am I, who am I
My writings not on the wall, its on my blog though
Dare to meet me, attempt to know me
Dare to read me, try to teach me
Never who you want me to be
Always who I'm going to be
Me
When your thoughts flutter do they fly my way
Do you care
In my life I've seen a lot, done a lot
Life is not easy, but hard work
A lot
Always pulling overtime cause the work pays off overtime
I'm going to end where I began
Consciousness within a vessel
Going to the hereafter in knowledge
My vessel
The final destination
Transcend*

"Compromise, if not the spice of life, is its solidity. It is what makes nations great and marriages happy".
When it comes to faith, integrity and human rights (to name a few), we should all strive to be unmoved, and remain steadfast and be forever unyielding. For lesser matters though, compromising may indeed be the name of the game. Marriage, family, and relationships are a prime example of the importance of compromise. The achievement of such a dyadic consciousness (mutually beneficial/give and take relationship) in and of itself denotes compromise. "For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you loose something else". These accepted losses only go to strengthen bonds, for in the end what is gained is truly more valuable.
