Hi. My name is Martin and I am soon to be 45 y/o. I try to convey the thoughts that have been inspired by my teachers. They are in no particular order...Ram Das, Neale Donald Walsch,Eckhart Tolle,Don Miguel Ruiz, Dr.Wayne Dyer ...among others.Only now, am I actually allowing others to see what I have penned...yes, I still use paper and pen!!! I have been writing since I was a teen, never sharing my thoughts for fear of ridicule, or maybe even success. My writings are an attempt to simplify that which we tend to complicate, or even worse...ignore. I wish all of you whatever it is you are seeking to gain from your writings. Whether it be a cathartic release from your percieved pain, or just to blurt out a passing thought, or success as a poet.If nothing else, love yourself and know that you are truly a miracle, and love others... for they are too. Life is short, so go and do...LIVE.

My Sayings...{and some that are borowed}

"It is the folly of men, both young and old
that they seek out grief where there need be none,
and in so doing, bring forth the suffering of all Mankind". {mine}

"Don't be so hard on the rude and ignorant, without them we'd never recognize the kind and compassionate".

"Rehearse all you like, but you're only getting to do this once!'.

"The truth will find you...what you do between now and then is up to you".

"I never said I knew it all, but that doesn't mean it's not true!".

"OK...I have ten fingers and you only have to smell one, alright?" [I know...gross...but I like it!]

"Laugh...and don't stop laughing, the alternative really sucks!".

"Love one another...or Perish!" ...W H Auden

"So this is where you are...and this is where I am,
somewhere between unsure and a hundred."...The Fray

Hail to the light, that my baby's watchin' me
In the darkness of the window, I can hardly get to sleep
Wish for the hour, that the night time soon shall pass
And the morning dew will bring us to a day our souls can last


Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
(Yeah)


Situation candle light
Enough to see the bits around you
But it's never very bright
Stare at a memory
You through the grapevine heard the truth
It's good to learn from your mistakes
But that only works in youth


Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Giving love
Giving love
Giving love


Restless minds, curtain calls, follow fanfares
Troubled hearts, just a walk down the hall
Restless hearts you take a punch, just to land one
Troubled minds, it's only fair after all


Mountin' the trail, but you got it in sight
Sometimes our only way is jumpin' I hope you're not afraid of heights
Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there
To face all of the undoings is still more than I can bear


Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
Giving love
Giving love


It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me


Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world
We're giving love
