Thank you for life; it truly is a gift.

Thank you for love, without it we're adrift

Thank you for the sunrise,the swirls of orange and blue

Thank you for sunsets, the beautiful indigo hue

Thank you for beaches, seas, forests and hills

Thank you for our conscience and the gift of free will

If we look around and beyond our eyes truly see

We witness the abundance and divine mystery

Now with a grateful heart, I humbly request

Please with that abundance, let my life finally be blessed

Of course not to be selfish, as my goal is to share

But I really would be thankful.... to be a millionaire.

Thanks in advance.

Yours sincerely

Dear Universe,

Fuck you. Fuck you for all the pain you have caused. Fuck you for all of the innocent lives that have been taken. Fuck you for the fires that have burned people. Fuck you for the rapists and murders you let walk free. For all of the unjust things that have happened that have passed without being punished. “Life isn’t fair,” they say. Well, you know what? It’s people like you that make life like this. There’s a piece of the universe within each human being on earth. And why, just why, would you let little kids be kidnapped? Why would you let drunken dads abuse their children? Why would you let teens who hate themselves slice their skin until they land in their grave? Please explain why you let mothers hurt their innocent little babies? Why is it every time I look at the news I want to cry? Why would you let people be so cruel? And why do they get away with it? Why don’t you do anything about it? Is this like some TV show to keep you entertained? Is that all we are to you? Fuck you. Fuck you for everything.

I want peace. I want hope and love. I’m not asking for a perfect world. I know death is a part of life. I don’t want evil people to walk away free. I don’t want toddlers to be abused. I don’t want teens to be homeless and cold. I don’t want people to suffer. I don’t want society to oppress those of color, or different religions. I don’t want girls to be scared to walk home. I don’t want people to feel ashamed because of their sexuality. There are so many problems I want to address right now. There is so much that I could blame on you, and so much I want you to change. I want to punch you in the face for all of this. I want you to fix it. Fix the things that you have destroyed.

Sincerely,

Me.

Hi there,

It’s me here to speak to you and ask you to send me grace for these tough times. I could use a break from the worrying, the constant stressing and the anxiety. I know I oscillate alot, one minute I’ve managed to convince myself everything is fine and I am at peace. The next I am up at 3.30 a.m wondering how I will make rent. Universe, I pray you teach me to find the right balance. I’m not quite sure the path that life is taking me on, I mean I had a plan and everything, but here we are. Be patient with me as I question you, question myself, it’s not that I don’t trust, it’s just that life has knocked me down a few times and well, my trust could do with a boost. I’m working on it though and it’s hard but I think I’m getting the hang of it.

Send me love Universe, kind love, peaceful love, happy love, accepting love. Send me love that teaches me to accept myself and be ok with not always knowing. I’m working on loving myself and you know how this is a daily battle. So send me a sign every day if you can that I am doing well. Teach me to be happy and be alright that some things didn’t work out. Could you also stop doing that thing where you send me someone, we have a connection then you snatch them away? Please and thanks because it’s getting a little exhausting and I just want to jump straight to the reason why they come into my life without all the heartbreak.

Take care of my mother would you? She drives me crazy but I love her so very much and I just want to know that she will always be alright. Thank you for giving me such a kind and caring mother and thank you that we are friends. I am aware this is indeed a rare thing. And while you are at it, would you take care of my sister too? Don’t tell her I told you but I truly wouldn’t be me without her. Would you remind her that she deserves all these good things happening to her and that no, I do not forgive her for always snitching on me when we were kids.

As you can see Universe, my list is quite....extensive and so I hope you hear me. I know that I am not here because I am special but rather because I still have a purpose to fulfill(help me find that too). And if its not too much to ask, can I always have a supply of mint chocolate everywhere I go?

Yours always,

Cynthia.

Hey, the way you twinkle is the most endearing feature you have.

You do not take or give but we appropiate blame to you, anyways.

We, humans, try to survive in any way we can.

We want to blame you. We want to have something to take the burden of despair off of our shoulders.

You... do not even notice the responsibilty that we accost you with.

Yet, we continue treat you as an anthropomorphic thing with desires or intent.

Despite the intensity and fervor of our blame, you continue to twinkle with a vast array of colors that shock and astonish all of those who are willing to look.

It is almost as if our blame is misplaced, misjudged, and misappropiated.

How wonderful it would be if it weren't.

Fairness, equality, balance.

These are words that we made up and have no effect outside of our meager existence. I mean, even within our existence we cannot agree on what words mean or how to say them.

What gives us the right to blame an unconscious and unfeeling universe that merely provides the setting of our lives unintenionally?

Universe, you are beautiful today and tomorrow. You are a chaotic vastness of awesome size and probability. I only dream of viewing you through lenses wide enough to capture your entire being. In reality, doing so would leave me with nothing new. For I cannnot comprehend even the size of the mote of dust I live on.

Universe, continue on. With or without us, you will still be the most enrapturing thing to look upon.
