By the time she looked in the book and found the page and reference, and came rushing back ready to open the tin, the servant had already opened it.
She asked, "But how did you do it?"
The servant said, Madam, when you can't read, you have to use your mind."

Sometimes they hide,
While I count and try to find them,
But sooner or later I see their cheeky faces hiding,
And I can't help but smile.

It is my constant game of hide and seek
With the fairies,
It is our game, which taught me,
To always stay strong,
And believe in good times to come.

While they hide,
I can hear them whispering to me:
“Hold hope of light through dark
And remember the warmth through cold,
Hold your smile even through tears,
And you will always find happiness.”

So Everyday, with the fairies' whispers,
I learnt to believe in what was myself,
and love the world i was born into.
And now everyday I look to the sky above us,
I see the sun and the clouds.
And Some days I watch raindrops fall,
Then the wind comes along,
He blows them onto my window,
and I can see them run down the glass pane,
Playing chasings with the wind,
running never looking back,
always looking forward.

Every night I catch a glimpse of the beauty
Held in the moon and the stars resting on their bed above,
Shining their little lights down on earth.
And amongst the many stars I found one so special,
With its own beautiful light,
It was like no other I could see in the sky.

Then one night a dream came to me,
and i could see the fairies pointing to the star,
which i had seen in the sky.
It was hidden beneath abandoned rubble...
The fairies placed it in my hands,
And the star began to glow and shine,
It was then my happiness felt freed
Unlocked...
From then on,
I could always see that light...
That gift from the fairie...

... My beautiful star on earth.

The reason i think christians referr to god as a he or an actual separate being higher than man is because they don't want acknowledge that there is something, more wonderous than a being, a personalityor a ruler. They worship 'the lord' why do they worship 'the lord'? what makes god a he? where did they pull that from, and why should you waste energy in worshipping something that does not ask to be worshipped? Hiumans, are so wrapped up in fear, fear of the unknown that they have to make something false to make things seem better. No one wants to know more than beyond their shelll. No one wants to admit they know fuck all about what life is. Life isn't anything to do with society, money possesions. Life is only made that way to cover up the truth. But i refuse to just get covered up in my little blanket and hide from this earth, this whole universe. I know nothing about why i'm on earth, or why earth spins, or where the end of universe is, or whether its doesn't, or why the stars shine in the sky, everynight, but aye, but all i can say i know what i have to know to be able to live in the this lie that is society i guess its some sort of start.
I may not know, but i can always believe, always hold hope and always have faith in everything i do. I've come to discover that belief is your power, and in life you learn to use it. and if you don't, anothers belief or will can take you over or influence you into living a life that isn't yours.....mmmm i'm tired and i have so much to spill out of me that i've lost track. infact i bet no one can make sense of all this but maybe someone did haha
Anyways earth is a spirt, and we're all a piece of it, the whole universe and beyond that is just a big mass of energy, a spirit. Thats what i believe. so there....one day when i've come across something else, that might change that i'll write it all down. no doubt it will though my mind has too much crazy stuff up here lol i love being mad, because if i wasn't i would get really really bored. haha i love all the people i love, and they make my life better too.
And my initials spell joy, heh though i figured that out when i was like 10 or somthing, so its nothing new really. But thats kind of cool, that my initials actually spell a real name. Maybe because i laugh at everything, lol maybe thats why it spells joy ]]> ~Jem16 http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/8484780/ http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/8484780/ Sun, 16 Apr 2006 01:37:28 PDT mmm anyways, if easter means something to you, happy easter hhehe -Jayd ]]> ~Jem16 http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/8350883/ http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/8350883/ Mon, 03 Apr 2006 07:04:48 PDT ~Jem16 http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/8194284/ http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/8194284/ Sat, 18 Mar 2006 03:23:34 PST Whole of a Morning Sky by Grace Nicholsand in the front it had a poem:

no matter wha race
no matter wha creed
is all ahwe taste
de sweat o we brow
is all ahwe bleed
fo de bitter cane
is all ahwe feel
a similar pain
is all ahwe share
a similar need
is all ahwe hoping
is all ahwe groping
is all ahwe dreaming
an is all ahwe
gon wake up an burn
if we don't learn...
if we don't learn...

Gosh there are so many things i'd like to just ramble on about lol
Life is so hurtful at times, but its never with out love and hope.
I think hope keeps you sane, it helps you keep strong...when ever something becomes diffficult for me now i just think of every other time things have gone wrong, and i think about how things have always in the end lightened up and was alright. It doesn't take the pain away, but it just strengthens me so i can endure it all.

Another thing i love is being in different places, because even if you've been to a place before each time you go there you get a different atmosphere, a different feeling or different mood. Like today, it was cloudy and it was half snowing and sleeting, and i was outside a supermarket, because id been shopping with mamma and papa..and i was just walking through the carpark and there was this mood this feeling about the place that was different to anyother time i'd been there...hahaha oh ok crazy jayd will shut up now....i just get high on life sometimes, i think the effects are so much better than drugs so much more varied, the imagination people have, the power to create is much stronger and last for a life time and is so much better than trying to stimulate your body with it with out of body substances, drugs. I'm permanently on my own drug i think hahahaha ohh dear.... ]]> ~Jem16 http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/7930441/ http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/7930441/ Sat, 18 Feb 2006 00:14:01 PST ~Jem16 http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/7838586/ http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/7838586/ Wed, 08 Feb 2006 14:50:17 PST And every time you face one of these times, you always feel as though theres nothing left, this is the low of all low and you can't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But eventually it does come and your in light again and happy, or soemthing good comes you way. And this seems to happens like all the time, unhappiness comes and goes and comes and goes. and each time its there we're fooled in to feeling more and more low because we think thats theres no getting out of it, until suddenly something just brightens up our eyes and thank their lords that they can be happy again.
But i think people fail to see this reoccuring pattern i think that if people looked at what they've been through in past experiences and see how constant it is, and that it kind of resembles a really simple pattern. and i think when you see that it helps you to get through the hard times easier each time.


Anyways it has for me, over this time of being away from home, being away from people i love and care about, and having to endure all kind of blows that affected me really deeply and i did a lot of hurting and being lost and upset and unhappy and alone and now i sort of look back on it, not as if its just been and gone and its never gonna happen again, but in a way thats shown me this kind of pattern in life, that hardship in life seems to uncover character in someone, and each hardship that you come by, strengthens you for the next and and then the next and next, and from each experience you can learn something different ontop of what you aready have learned to equip you. Like hope, believing in yourself an believing that somewhere the light will pop out at you and make you happy again and its only a matter of time to get through something, and in some was, it can help you to love and believe in other people at the same time.

hehe anyways, thats just what i've come to see at this point in time. ]]> ~Jem16 http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/7800534/ http://Jem16.deviantart.com/journal/7800534/ Sat, 04 Feb 2006 14:37:38 PST The Travel Song
