...AND THEIR MEANINGS...Since so MANY have ASKED ;)

written in HEBREW:

(Hebrew word translated) QAVAH = to WAIT/HOPE

According to Hebrew definition, waiting is like wound up strands of rope.  Those strands are PATIENCE and HOPE.  Waiting must have the elements of PATIENCE and HOPE otherwise the integrity of it's meaning is compromised and the experience is invalidated.

PATIENCE:  Is bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.  It is the willingness to suppress restlessness when confronted with delay.

HOPE:  Is looking forward to a favorable end result with expectation and confidence.

The Hebrew word for QAVAH (WAIT) is sometimes translated "HOPE" or "LOOK EXPECTANTLY"

BE PATIENT AND DON'T QUIT.  HAVE HOPE AND DON'T DOUBT.  THE WAIT WILL EVENTUALLY GET YOU OUT.

written in HEBREW:

(Hebrew word translated) EMET= TRUTH

In the Hebrew meaning of TRUTH, it is not a question of WHAT but WHO.  TRUTH is not a thing.  TRUTH is a way of living, a mode of existence.  TRUTH is intensely personal.  It is a feeling, an emotion...it is compassionate and angry.

"TRUTH IS A FIERY BREATH THAT BROODS OVER THE EVENTS OF THE PHYSICAL WORD"

Truth is in the formation of the character and the restoration of the world.  The nature of TRUTH becomes grounded in the moments of decision.

"My DRAGONFLY..."

DRAGONFLY SYMBOLISM:

Change, Dreams, Deep Thoughts

the DRAGONFLY represents the ability to see around things by looking from different angles. 

Life can bend, shift, and adapt in various ways, making life's appearance never be what it appears to be.

The MAGIC of the DRAGONFLY shows us to see through life's illusions and find our true vision.

DRAGONFLIES are the keepers of dreams. 

They embody a stripping away of all the beliefs that say we cannot achieve a dream or goal; they are to remind us that anything is possible when we really get the understanding that we are part Spirit and as such we have the power to manifest anything that we desire.

Dreams are like stars. We may never touch them, but if we follow them they will lead us to our destiny

Sometimes you need to be a bitch to get things done.
- Madonna.

I know change can be scary, but it's part of growing up. It's how we find out who we are and who we're gonna be.

"Why"

Walking madly - feeling strangely and I'm not sure where to go
I got a funny feeling - Have I lost my meaning
I wish I could go home
When you said you were leaving I didn't let it affect me
Sat on the bar and let them flow
Now I'm lost and lonely
I wish you never told me what I didn't want to know

And I will crawl on my own -
I'm taken by your smile
As I'm lyin beside you dying inside
I don't know

Why I try to save this when all I ever want to do is get as far as I can go
Where there's nothing left of me and
You're now worthless to me you are no more
I'm as far as I can go -
nothing left of me and you

I thought the buzz would help me
I think it just made me crazy
Can't pull me out of this hole
You say you could not save me -
You wouldn't stay to watch me
It was too much on your soul
Now I'm feelin alright to get us back to right
And you're nowhere I can find
No longer living blindly
Just seemed to be bad timing
Cuz you walked into the night
Why

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”— Rumi

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Marie Rilke

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze that it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." 

- Jack London

I started to listen to my dreams and the enticements of my heart. I slowly let go of things I thought I had to do for years and years and started doing the things I felt I needed to do.

But tonight, instead of taking the easy road, I’ve decided to think about the ways that I can open up this shell and see what is inside that is so tender it wants to hide all the time.

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

Trusting your intuition means tuning in as deeply as you can to the energy you feel, following that energy moment to moment, trusting that it will lead you where you want to go and bring you everything you desire.

"Strong enough to stand alone, yet humble enough to know that everybody needs somebody sometimes."

God puts people in your life for a reason, and removes them from your life for a better reason

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
