Words of Deryo

Acceptance

I look out and see that people are viewing the act of acceptance as one where a person states to another:  you are fine, as long as you live up to what I feel is acceptable. Sure that has value, but if you give in to that, you’re not being true to yourself. Because truly the only person that needs to accept who and how you are, is yourself.

This is a necessary value in shaping yourself for belief, reality and growth into the person you are and will be. As an example, I can remember a time when I was creating a musical project and since I was producing the project, I needed everyone to buy in on my view and direction to establish the existence of my creative identity, and then lend in with their point of view to round the totality of the vision and creative process. If I had received push back instead of support for my vision, as a young songwriter, I would have lost my way.

The source of anything of value is the beginning or the foundation. I say this, because it shows how important it is to accept a person in relation to who and how they are and not simply how you would like them to act and be. See, when someone positions his or her views upon you, this is not an act of acceptance. It is creating a standard on how they would like you to be. So if you know yourself, then accept yourself and if you don’t, find yourself and then accept yourself, because that is the only way you will find happiness, contentment and your glory in life.
Accepting me as you accept you,

Saying Goodbye

Many times saying goodbye is a hard thing, whether it’s someone passing or just no longer wanting to be in your life. The important thing for us to remember is the love; the joy and great experiences are the foundation of what we know our time spent with them is all about. Also the great thing that can come from this, is to remember the love, joy and experiences and keep it within your mind, heart and soul. With that you enable that person to continue to be a positive influence and be a part of your life, even though they may not physically be there. Yes, saying goodbye is a choice, because you have the memories to keep. Aren’t those memories the source of all that will continue to be with you?

Because of love and goodness, I never say goodbye, just see you later,

Ten Thousand Years

Sometimes it feels like it’s been ten thousand years that I’ve traveled this road. A road that was first started; before I began to even understand my destiny. But as I walk each step, instead of getting closer to the light, there is a mirrored reflection of a mirage that only seems to become further away the closer I feel that I get. It is not the things you see, have or want that is the glory that waits, but that certain knowing that exist only in what is true to your life.
So I ask myself, should I change directions and give up on what I now feel is not true or do I plunge continually forward by design, because of my faith or do I question the thing that drives my being? Ten thousand years, it seems like a lifetime but truly it is only the experiences that exists at the end of everyday of my travels.
My faith is my guide,

Creative Being

Most people feel as I do, that the most positive and creative thought or gesture is the showing, being or about, love. So that would be the greatest factor in your creative being. Lets try this, turn to the person nearest you and display an act of love. This doesn’t mean you have to be in love or make love, but simply share with them an act of kindness or a positive gesture. The love comes in when you let that thought or feeling come from the center of your individual universe, your heart. 

Creative being is when you do something selfless in a positive and spiritual giving way, without the thought of any desire for a direct return, because we all know, what you put in the universe is what you receive in return. Creative Being, try it, it’s good for you.

Paying it back,

Deryo

Trust

Trust is something that we all have to share in at one time or another. So why do so many of us find it hard to do? It’s something we do without trying or noticing everyday, like trusting your doctor, or your banking institution, or as you drive down the street or the highway. You trust the person driving in the next car. I’m not saying to be foolish, but it seems since these and other things call for trust on a day-to-day basis, we should find it a simple and desirable daily happening.

But when you truly look around there isn’t very much trust among us. It seems to be the continuing source in our lives that we have so little of, because if we did the world would be such a wonderful place. So I’m just throwing this out there as food for thought.

Trust me, things could be a lot better with a little bit of trust.

Trusting that you understand what I mean,

A New Time

Today I opened my eyes while standing in my backyard and I could see that springtime is here. I took in a deep breath and through my body I could feel that it’s a new time of the year. We experience the wonderment of each new time of the year and it plays such a valuable part of our lives.

Since I am a creative being, I knew that the spirit of these words wasn’t enough.  I had to put the joy of spring and new beginnings to music.
So open your minds and hearts, because once again it’s A New Time. Are you ready to begin?

Control

Being in control or attempting to control a situation or someone, is a task that varies in each its own way. Belief in yourself or the things around you is a type of control that is vital for your individual self-everyday, but when you are trying to control someone else, it’s a choice I would advise you not to try. Even when people speak about controlling their children, I feel that’s a non-starter, because it is for you to teach your kids and show them guidance with a little love and understanding, giving them a chance to grow into themselves.
If they don’t understand or they are acting in a way that’s not desirable to you, you can help show the way by giving a hand in developing a foundation for them and your advancement and not your frustration. Control: control yourself so you can lend a hand to the next person to be in control.
Attempting to control myself everyday, because every Brand New
Day brings another challenge,

Lady Love

“Dedicated to all the ladies that haven’t been told.”

I saw you walking, no. gliding like on air, seemingly without worry or despair.  Headphones on listening to your music, I could see the music expressing itself through the motion of your body as you went your way. In my mind I was doing just fine, just when I saw and felt my emotions go from excitement to the first welcoming of love, because I could surely see you were a lady simply by the way you carried yourself in presence and rhythm. In my mind I could hear myself softly saying: ladylove, ladylove where have you been I must be your friend, because it’s love I seek and you are a lady to be loved.

Just loving the ladies,

Deryo

Your Eyes

In your eyes I can see what my life should be and not what’s put in front of me. You see, even though things are said and feelings are shown, it’s not necessarily the way some say it’s suppose to be. I knew from the day that the truth showed itself to me, all that had come before was just a miss-directional thought, that would lead me not to where I need to be, down the road of seemingly no return.

So I say thank you for your guidance, thank you for believing in me. Sure, I know it’s everyone you give this to, but once again I must say thank you for your blessings. I know the blessings you give is for us to live, because that’s the only way they can come to be. But with the greatest blessing of all, choice, I choose to see it all, through YOUR EYES.

Your eyes is the light,

Deryo

I Object

I object to all people that don’t respect or understand the value of another life.

I object to the rudeness and non-understanding that people display; whether it’s because of race, skin color, religion or belief.

I object to the lack of love we have for one another.

I object to children and adults not having food to eat or the proper nourishment to supplement a healthy physical temple

So I ask the question, what is the point of an objection if we all don’t fulfill the promises of the objection?

Just trying to understand,
Deryo
