Inspiration From A Muse: Poems To Her

A Lightness of Being Created...a Wall demolished. "Facing the Fear of Embarrassment" (Part II)

Greg Frucci — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:57:16 +0000

As I wrote the last post about facing the Fears of Embarrassment and Humiliation (see link at bottom of post), something wonderful began to happen.

Yes, I had the conversations with my Personal Devil in my head like...

"Dude...do you really want to admit to telling a massive lie?"

"What will people think?"

"People thought you were crazy before...now they will know."

Tuesday TALKS: Brené Brown

Reblogged from Lifelong Learning:

I'm going to start collecting my favorite inspiring videos. Once a week, I'll share them here on what I'm calling Tuesday TALKS. I know you'll all love them as much as I do!

Brené Brown is my new favorite speaker! She is a researcher from Houston who has studied vulnerability and shame extensively.

From this particular TED Talk, here are some of my favorite Brené Brown quotes:

Swimming against Currents?

Greg Frucci — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:33:26 +0000

Reblogged from Path of Three Hundred:

a friend recently asked, "How do you get out of a rip current?"

Rip Currents are easy to navigate...

the mind is the greatest challenge to overcome and one can do this easily...

it then becomes an understanding of simple geometry...

Always swim perpendicular to the current and parallel to the Shore...

for the current is narrow...

once out of the current...

"Written like a Novel...It showed that someone who was told that they couldn't do something, could do it if they have a bit of knowledge, strength and could set their mind to it."

Reblogged from Path of Three Hundred:

"I received this on October 18th from the Good Reads First Reads contest. I started reading this anxious that it may be a "how to" book or a book where it just preached at me the whole time. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this is written like a novel. It is a true story of an incredible journey across the ocean.

The book is now available at Barnes & Noble online

Our Foreheads [the last poem in the book]

Greg Frucci — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 12:57:16 +0000

You placed your forehead on mine the other day…

I felt your aura…

as I opened my eyes…

I saw you smile…

I delivered my voice to you as we embraced…

silence was your voice…yet…

song was your spirit…

within a reflection upon the glass of your vehicle…I saw you smile as your head was on my shoulder…

Voyagers of this Life you and I…

our paths are so close…

we See each other…

we Feel each other…I have seen your smile…

My Past is just that oh Muse of Me…

never will I return to it for I cannot, nor do I wish to go there even for a moment…

if my Past approaches me, I will turn my back to it and walk away into the Future…

this is my Way as it has always been…I see the Future and there is where I will always go…

Here in the Present, I feel a great Peace within me as I realize what my Soul tells me…

Our Souls speak to Us first…the Voice of which is always right.

The poem above is the last poem of the book….yet…

I have faith in new beginnings…

an ending in it’s essence…

marks not a stopping place…but…

a course changed…with…

hope…

love…

Peace…and…

with positivity we can apply what we feel to all things…

including a One we Love.

Peace To You.

Yesterday

Greg Frucci — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:32:59 +0000

Magic…

one word can describe us…

one word can describe a feeling…

one word can describe a moment in time…

Breathe…

being with you yesterday…

“our time” is what I am breathing now…

slowly I feel all of the emotions as I inhale what was a peaceful experience…

Silence…

as I watched the orange moon rise above Masonboro last night…

my voice was quiet…

my soul was singing as thoughts traveled across the quiet night to you…

Peace…

is what I am…

is what you are…

is what the future will bring as we manifest a Way…

Home…

is where my soul is now…

a physical place is wherever my soul travels…

freedom achieved upon the realization of acceptance…

and…

Oh Muse of Me…taught me many things did the Indigo Sea…

things I already knew deep within my Being…

now on the surface…

Water…

The cleansing element I have always known…

You have always known…

I am now cleansed by going to the Sea…

the Storm…

A Gale did not try to destroy me…

the Universe sent the challenge so that I may learn…I did…

find what was always there…

Love…

Of Self unconditionally…

a lesson of Life now consumed in Me…

so that I may be able to spread the feeling to all humans in all ways…

You…

The High Temple…

the highest Love is one of an unconditional reservation with a soul connected…

all Love is acceptance of a respect for others than Self…

Freedom…

A choice without pressure…

without conditions projected…yet…

the voice of the feeling will come from me to you…because…

it is Truth…a Truth of me which I alone must put out there to the Universe…I alone will accept the result of my affections delivered…

The Past no longer exists…

a place to go only to remember lessons…

the physicality of which will never return…

ever…

The Future will come…

a place we will go to Live…to feel…

the physicality of which will be real…inevitable…

the product of lessons learned…lessons which have given us a Strength to keep the pain of the past from ever returning again…

I am real…I will always be the Way I have learned to be…

and I will grow stronger in that Way…a Way you are…a Way you see…feel.

A Belief…Gifts

Greg Frucci — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:27:35 +0000

Gifts from the One…

connections from all directions on the compass rose not expected nor sought by the Voyagers…yet…

they have become the most powerful ever experienced by either soul…I felt the Power upon the indigo sea…

this we have shared…this I accept…a gift to us from above…

Gifts from the One…

an ability to translate who we are…

the unseen to the dimension we all perceive…

yours is the lens…mine is the pen…a gift to us from above…

Merely two of many gifts from the One…

one of Peace…one of Love…together the gifts become whole…One.

And…

I receive your gift to me…

that which inspires my innermost being…

your Way…You…

inspire such abundant creativity from within…

Obrigado, oh Muse of Me.

I Believe

Greg Frucci — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 13:13:03 +0000

I believe…

Hard for some…

simple for me…

these two words…

I believe…

The two words apply to many things in Life…

as does the word…

manifest…

connected they are…the words…the souls…

I believe in Life…

I believe in the now…

I believe in the future…

I believe we will find our place when it is meant to be…

I believe in…

you…me…us.

Peace to you on this night…focus…manifest…dream…flow…chill…breathe…

sail away in your being to the place you want to be.

Our Time

Greg Frucci — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 11:54:32 +0000

Ahhh…

and the Me looks forward to a Peaceful time of Us as well…

trading stories of who we are…

where we have been and where we will go…a calming of spirit…

Finding the commonality of our paths is wonderful…

seeing the individuality of our Ways…yet…

the two become intertwined as the realizations surface…

and…

Like ships at sea…

like voyagers on a course…

we see each others light…

we feel a future not yet written…unknown…

We go into the unwritten without fear…

it draws us…

beckons us…

others fear what is beyond the walls of here…we are drawn to that which is not yet seen…

Like the Longtailed One…

we fly…we return…home.
