"An idle mind isn't the devil's workshop. It is merely a mind in park. It has the potential to go anywhere and do great things. An overactive mind is the devil's workshop, because it often takes one to dark places with no escape." CK Thiruvathukal (April 2, 2014)

"You can't lose something you never had in the first place. Not really." C.K. Thiruvathukal
"An artist from my soul and an innovator at heart.
I am a constant flow of progression. I flip my life like the pages of a book, so I can sometimes go back an take a look. I feel that everyone should live life to the fullest. Smile and laugh wild, feel sad but cry mild. Be free but always in style. Life is too short not to lose it and go crazy...but always remember your center, where you come from, who you love and who loves you. When you fight, fight to the death, always look forward, but never forget. Unless it’s a grudge then hurry up and forgive. This life is a limitless enigma of emotions so enjoy, that is me."
My precious Joshua's beautiful writing

"When we give to others, we should be sure we are doing so with their best interests using our minds and "hearts."

"The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is." Brooke, Phillips
"One who dervives pleasure from the demise, despair, or misfortune of others is a person who needs to look inside of themselves to find what went awry." C.K. Thiruvathukal

Bow your head in prayer
For the soul that could have been.
For the tortured soul caged in pain.
What would we change if we could do this over?
Numerous ideas make their way through the grapevine.
Guilt abounds and bargains are made.
Flowers laid out.
Candles lit.
Dying light.
Apathy speeds impermanence.
Don't have these regrets.
CK Thiruvathukal

More about CK:"I am a human being first, and one that has a drive to change my life. Vector-borne illness has had a great impact on my life. To the public, that's called Lyme disease, but it's so much more. It's a variety of infections, and they are typically missed. I'm a writer, animal/human rights activist, and my goal is to find my place in this world. I also love to sing, am trying to learn piano, and love sociology/social psychology. I'm fighting every day to regain my health.".
