Randy Ponzio, with love

A good friend of mine and local Vancouver musician Randy Ponzio, passed away on November 17th, 2011. He left behind three beautiful children, and lots of friends and family. We all miss him dearly and have done our best to celebrate his short life. He was an amazing man who did everything in his power to pass along his message of LOVE PEACE FOUNDATION FAMILY.

here is a tribute podcast made in his memory with a good selection of his music.

If you'd like to help support his three amazing children, you can buy his album, as well as donate.

A beautiful piece was written about Randy, click here if you'd like to check it out.

Any other inquiries can be Googled, but please remember; Everyone has an opinion on what may or may not have happened. Whatever the true story is, all we can hold onto is the memories we hold of him and not worry so much about how he left us. I will remember him for his endless words of encouragement, his fantastic hugs, his mesmerizing energy and his inspiring music.

words beyond my common mind

Peace of mind. Thoughtful mistakes. calming breeze from your gentle expression. Laughter from smiles and play. Light, slight, quiet contentment. With ease, I smile at your inner beauty, your special essence. I appreciate your calmness, your kindness, your attention.

when i look at myself, I feel my beauty, my love, my spirit and my joy. My happiness spreads across the oceans and out into the universe like a never ending vine. I sweep the earth and feed the souls of those lucky enough to stop and listen to my kind voice. I am special, I am kind, I am wonderfully strong in my mind-body-soul. Sit and enjoy my sacred being. I want to spread the positivity as far as I can. We are all stronger as one. Unity is the pure essence of peace.

Love yourself and others will follow.

WE ARE ALL ONE

I have recently started reading the book The Path of the DreamHealer, by a young man who only goes by Adam. He deals with the quantum world of energy healing.

I am unsure of how this book got in my possession as I am pretty positive I did not purchase it. This is not the first instance I have had with self help books in my possession. They have a weird way of finding me and of showing themselves at the times when I am ready to receive them.

The DreamHealer is all about healing yourself; harnessing the power from within. We all have the capabilities, it's up to us if we choose to use it. I have been on a personal journey for six years now, one of self growth and empowerment. The more I learn about myself, the more confidence and love I have for myself.

I have always been a human that wants to share anything and everything (that has helped me) that i come across with others. I often struggle at finding ways to do so without feeling as if I am intruding or saying that someone else is unable to do so for themselves. Sometimes I feel this blog is not only a way for me to express myself fully without threat of being rejected, but also as a platform that may just inspire someone or help them to realize that thing they've been looking for to unlock the next part of their own journey. We are all connected, or as Adam says "We are all one". Why not lean on our neighbor for support or talk to our friend about our secret struggles. If we are hurting, then surely the ones closest to us are hurting as well. So if we heal, we in turn help others heal. Let's be healers, not victims. We are unified, we are alike, we are one.

to be, is to..

to be understood is not to have people know your story
to be heard is not to speak the loudest or longest
to matter is not to have everyone know your name
to be considered is not to have the most impressive experiences
to be respected is not to out-do or put others down

to be..

..is to be and nothing more

a pleasing smile

the pain created from minds worn down to weakness
placing obstacles in your path made from lying thieves
to be born with everlasting potential
infinite options and unstoppable ability

to be a human
to be born to this earth perfect
to somehow forget or to not believe it at all
the shame of the blind, for all the beauty we hold

the beauty not of what we're told to be
but that beauty that comes from within
the one people stop in awe and can't seem to put their fingers on
an unmistakeable glow
a highlight to your already perfect smile

the true essence of beauty is a woman
free from self restraints of ideals from unhappy souls

never do to please
but please to do

letting it flow

just let it flow,
let it go
and you're the one walking away with the smile

flowing intentions


place the peace
a droplet in your palm
fumbles through gaping fingers
no way to keep water
it flows how it wants


12.03.2011

from this life to the next

the love that sprang from our bodies
that day,
your day,
our day for remembrance

we love you so
that we celebrated
we danced,
we sang,
we smiled.

for not the thought of your departure that was in our minds
but all the moments before
the ones rich with color and energy
the ones blasted with love and support
the ones cherished for all your positivity; your goal to share

in our memories
and those of others,
we will keep your image strong and true
your accomplishments we choose to keep
your love we choose to hold onto
your legacy we choose to pass through

this life,
next life,
all life

11.30.2011

to let one fly

the silence that surrounds us,
your earth body lay still
yet your power so strong
to still hear words, songs you wrote
to have mouths of others sing them

your message stares us blankly to the tip of our face
Peace, Love, Foundation and Family
we not only understand your words
we recite them
we deliver them
we live them

you empowered us
you moved us higher
your faith in our abilities made us believe we can

your faith too strong for your body
your message too big for your lips
you delivered to us a gift
one we will hold onto
and pass along to any open ear

you left us to start a new mission
one that needed you more than we
left us with poems and prayers of lyrics
to guide us safely through

you wrote to us almost knowingly
your suspicions exact as to what was to come
your exit not so smooth
many questions left unanswered
perhaps your way to show us our own strength,
so we could understand that we had it in us

your light stays burning strong and bright
my dear friend,
never to fade out of sight

pure light to fill our souls
you are a good friend

all love, all the time!

trapped in my head



to finally see your own beauty,
to feel trapped inside your own head,
to wait with desires of others acceptance.

10.21.2011

completing the circle of madness

i can no longer ask myself why
for the answer is no truth
a fabricated reason created to ease my worry

to assume out of need to know
the wrong makes you but embarrassed
to try again with same results



this madness we force on ourselves
creating this perfect circle of deceit

didn't he once say, the definition of madness
is to repeat the same action again and again
and expect different results?

yet we do not see the madness we create
we choose to look past it
creating delusions and excuses
all so we can feel this power as it rotates
we feel strong and right
until the part of the circle where
we fall into our wrong
live in our pain

to bask in the pain of a victim
not a comfortable place to be

i refuse to complete your circle

10.20.2011

to be kept in their darkness

crawling from the depths of an others worse fate
emerging from the strangling hole of hate
stars were aligned to bring you here
yet there another lesson to be learned
each more difficult than the last

as you crush each obstacle
you feel stronger, wiser, smarter
yet each new hurdle presents itself a greater challenge

the test to always make you wonder if
you're capable
if you can withstand
if you're worth it

to feel worth it,
to smile from within
no worries of self doubt

only pride in aptitude
in willingness to push further
on towards greater rewards
and wonderful experiences

a smile to an inner love

10.14.2011

who's the victim?

my unhappiness no other fault but this mind
lost in food
unable to feed this ever demanding brain
no fuel to keep this unhappy engine going
expanding the wrong way
losing sight of real purpose

self sabotaging
staking more pieces unevenly
teetering on edges of confusion
creating unnecessary hate
and dislike

to work in the hands of the victim



unhappiness of self
victimizes under pity
no sign of self restraint
to sobs of the victims despair

she finds good excuses to cover blame
to distract real purposes
to send the scent adrift

a negative entity working slowly to destroy me
to a point of no return

but the power of love strikes stronger
and bolder
to be one of great faith
and inner strength
to believe thy words of awareness
and truth

to not give into her
to stay neutral
to decide not to be that victim.

10.01.2011

rehashing old potatoes

the past so fresh to my face
places to return to lost time
unpleasant moments of young girls lessons
mistakes and judgements ablaze on the nose

to fear to let go
clinging to images
so old of self rejection
unstable ideas of what things were

to grow those wings
to fly so far away
to lands of age and exploration
becoming of wisdom
set free young hearts to soar
to commence on journeys of own feet
to follow no others path

yet, when time returns old
flooding memories of old injustices
unfair to blame yourself
old sores sear red with fresh openings
unable to find a rock to hide under



to keep yourself, to repay again each new breath
unwise and untold to continue
for with our own leaps, others bound as same
to stake them to that moment in time
to force them to await your return

the patience of taught
time to deal with feelings of pain and guilt
to release yourself that hook
allow yourself your freedom

this day the best
this day, a day to start from scratch

9.30.2011

A pen.

to halt need for reason
to accept this moment as it is
i would not be this person
if i stayed that person there

to be a person
such a fragile place to be
no hallucinations
no fantasies
or blind faith

to believe,
to trust,
so much more than just because

i free my human form
to stay to this place
as long as it enjoys the play

the light i follow
calls me
the feeling so good
so true

you keep those thoughts to those minds
trust honesty
keep my ears clean of your filth

i need not a thing but air
not a pulse but empty thought

i accept my reality as passing.

growing stalk

to release the thoughts
to not hold onto the judgements
to forgive yourself your assumptions
- your accusations

to shed this idea of unworthiness
how light to feel
so free to move
to change
to be

i cannot detain my potential much longer
i will not punish my naive being
i will allow myself the freedom to grow

9.23.2011

the misguided nature

this looming cloud,
pinned atop a head
foggy views
on miss-appropriate situations


stuck in this mist
unable to see 3 inches ahead
afraid to trust own judgement

scared this won't pass
will not get better
how to believe another fate?

this negative mind set scary
the fear running so high
you cannot be my own brain
my own thoughts

these views not mine
i am not accountable for any harm
or injustice
i was used.

not me, but it

to read your words
ones you wrote with your own hand
your pen on paper
how unforgiving ink may be

how your hurt, your hate,
your sadness flows through that ink
splashed across pages and pages of sorrow

i recognize you dear ego
your lack of attempt to hide is not brave
it is not bold or attractive
it is sad how powerful you feel when you tare me down
upsetting when you berate someone else
mean when you use my words against me

in my most vulnerable time of need
you're there, on the dot
to push me down even that little bit further

you know how i tick
you understand my moves
you've got me to a science

you believe you have won
you believe you have power
what you don't see is the work i've been doing to silence you
say your farewells

9.20.2011

to walk with closed eyes

there is no need for an explanation of how
to trust in what is
the faith of the blind

eyes create stories
fueled with adventures of risk and fear
fights on swords of words
oceans filled with tears

in our rush to the top
to look down on those we have surpassed
to view shattered faces
and broken bodies

although physically they are sane
mentally they are changed
never to return to that naive state again

beware of your actions
for they do not just change your course
but those of others that happen upon your path as well

safe travels and bright eyes

9.17.2011

the path to move ahead to

forcing its way out
more and more unforgiving;
disastrous fate meant not for this time

slow thy breath down
calm this fire of beats so red
breathe slowly and surely

resting heads on pillows
hands in hearts
patient in thoughts

not alone
not deserted
nor forgotten

to only see,
to look beyond thee
your ever more is but slightly ahead
pace yourself,
it will make time to show

these tears fresh
frustration clasped between clenching fists
not an end to run to or a beginning to start from

release, it's not worth the sweat

9.13.2011

brain be gone!

please be kind to me young brain
please respect my wishes of silence
please listen instead of always trying to be louder

your narcissistic tendencies will not be tolerated
your egotistical ideals shut down
i look forward to silencing you,
as good as i can get you gone.

jelly beans and junipers

a late thank you
perhaps believed never owed
an experience is still a lesson
still a discovery

meaningful moments of company in keep
expressions of desires to be had
cracking that stone shelled surface

it may have felt only as if a moment
but to thy heart much more
my keepsakes of memories
my appreciation of hearts

j.

you are your own protagonist


to be happy from the deepest within
to be loved by our truest self
to be sure from our strongest core

trust your intuition above all else
faith in your divine


i thought i was a car

forgetting of lies
living in truth
little thoughts if any
surpassing unrealistic ideals

your mind a vehicle
powered by reasons of belief
never empty, the cost; L I F E

a slow leak, attained through awakening
unnoticed to the driver
driving closer and closer towards empty

the lower the tank descends
the closer the freedom appears
no fear, no judgment, no nonsense

completely depleted, no gas to go
only then will you take a second to look around
and realize your car is a plane
a plane that runs on purity of spirit
without the need of greed or power to run it
you take off and fly with ease on open awareness
to be weightless, to be hie, to be free

9.10.2011

my unsettling position

my unconscious nature
freely flying silent heart
caught between a sun and moon

twinkling tears of fury
always struggling to find balance
to shift the weight onto more loving things
to heal from within

to have the ability to slow
the patience to calm
and the dedication to forget

to live in the abyss

9.09.2011

no explanation necessary


you will understand once you no longer need to explain why.


the view

the view
to view from a different angle
another point of view

gathering your experiences
sifting through thought and lesson
summing up your entirety

what our mouths speak
our ears hear
our brains believe

we are but puppets to our own show
we mimic
we recite
we lie

to hum
to buzz
to silence the dialogue
peace is in the distraction

a humble request


please accept my love

please accept my gratitude
please accept my admiration


nothing more


subside my anger
drop by my side
quiet my frustration
the need has passed to worry

linked feelings of vulnerability and inept
every step, a falsity of truth
every breath, an exhale towards death

to have no meaning
to purely be based on moment
a moment to end

to succeed such a life
one of pointless determination
the determination to matter
to affect
to deliver
yet one of pure reason
to just be

be and nothing more

9.06.2011

the crutch of fear

to fill a void with nothing but a different void
gains only further distraction from your acquired task
to be unsure of how to pursue
or how to move forwards
is a tough feeling to overcome

chained by these negative desires
ones that slow my progress
ones that taint my objective

feet feared in their place
mind occupied by distraction
time may pass but my life shows no age

wisdom comes from those who try
those who fail and then get back up on their feet and try again
those whose nerves run high, yet leap faithfully anyways
those who differ

the only one who is fearful, is the one whose existence depends on it

9.03.2011

innocently sweet

when in a state of vulnerability
unable to uncloud the mind
fogged interpretations of innocent reactions
never look further than knowledge given by that one
never make assumptions of their kind
never believe you're greater to know than them
for if you do,
you will not only suffer a state of embarrassment
but one of poor sight
and self judgement

keep your eyes clean
and your heart pure
leave your nose on your face
and a smile on your lips

stay innocent

craving the love of need

fighting off feelings of loneliness
where do these feelings originate from?
why do i feel the presence of someone will upgrade my life?
how to break this attachment
for it is not real
just mentally chaining myself down to an idea

i miss because inside i ache
my heart feels it cannot produce enough self love

if i love myself;
then i enjoy the company of others
if i feel i need the love of others;
then i crave their company

i am free to accept love
in all forms it takes

clouded brain

can you be quiet and still?
resistant to time and space?
oblivious to boredom?
past need or desire?

no need for object or prize
mind free of dilutents

how your peace calms me
how it floods my system
and send shivers down my spine
how it mutes my thought
and brings a smile to my lips
if your peace was an action
it would envelope me like a warm embrace

thank you for sharing your peace

8.30.2011

strengthening our peace

this ability we possess
to learn this language
to give a voice to these thoughts

all so we can communicate with others
have them hear our story
their sympathy
their elation
it all means we have worth
...right?

you view my opinion as a direct correlation with who i am
my opinion is only as real as that blimp of a moment in time
it does not carry forward,
it stays rested in that second

a new discovery changes our view
and now your information is outdated and useless
to you, i stay frozen to that moment
you stay rested the same to me
until we meet again in the future to pick up where we left off

after a quick catch up,
feel as though we've been with you the whole time
is it that easy?
it would be nice to say so.

how a yes can bring us so much comfort
a falsity we care to believe
because we feel if we push it off, it won't hurt now
how mean we are to our future selves
how we don't care enough to protect her
how selfish to think she less deserving

--peace in this moment and the next--
--is longer lasting peace and happiness--

changing minds, seated views

to desire someone more than you desire yourself
what little you know of them
yet to be so certain they're perfect
to know they will fulfill your every need and desire

let time take its course
discovering the little annoyances
seeing the habits you wish to change
cause as you grow, so do they
never following the same path
how can they fit your perfect mold anymore?

now to nag, to change
holding onto ideas of the past
not seeing their present self
confused by their developed mind

who is this person i once thought so perfect?
i've allowed you to control my world
yet you're not who i agreed to anymore
i've been tricked, fooled

i want out.

8.29.2011

words of thought


a spoken thought
released into the universe
awaiting a response

Infinite



a halted heart
paced and swollen to time
never seizes to find a reason to ache

until discovered
will it understand the depth of love it holds?
all this love intended for itself
yet distracted by thoughts
words muttered in our unspoken ears

to question itself
to believe lies of fear and vulnerability
to release sparingly so as to never run dry

yet if trusted
we will be elated to discover
its infinite depth
its infinite power
to spread our love throughout our body
to project onto others our unconditional love

8.26.2011

lead the follow

with the presence of unsettling nature
every bit a tad askew
with feelings of resistance
noticeable to the still

to find the nature of the change
to fix the gap of the miss-ranged
you fill the void of the movement

pieces shift when needed be time
we cannot view the cause
since it's purpose is the result

we follow the guided
trust in our delicate foresight
we see but touch
we know from failure
we shepherd our flock
our i

a try is better than none at all

a guilty thank you
a mistrusted appreciation
against truth in a state of unhappiness

defeated by own useless beliefs
to be looked down on in occurrence
my self trait of absurdity

thy divine nature
makes no part of me false
my truth is existence
what is

my only lie, thought
a life lived as free as possible from
is a life rich in happiness

quiet from the drone of the machine
free from the chains of form
diluted from the constraints of this mental plane

my purpose unspecified
my result still pending

8.22.2011

unfreeze the frozen

verbal stretch
play of words to create new meanings
bend the mind and its capabilities

who says it can't be different?
who says we are the same?
who says your worth?

when all i have left are questions
only the unanswered will live as time
only the unthought will manipulate existence

an imbalance of direction
causes tidal waves of destruction
we are our worst enemy
our captain general, our knowledge
our only escape, self destruction of thought

silent enough to hear a first breath
still enough to feel life move
brave enough to let go

reclaiming our purpose

you mean a lot

three words that present;
union, kinship and love

three words that express;
admiration, loyalty, an over abundance of smiles

three words that when it comes down to it, mean;
forever, ever flowing, present

three words that when spoken, sound;
i miss you


8.20.2011

halted mental strain

within these human hands,
superhuman abilities are achieved.

those scared of this power

sneak away into the depths of the shadows
all attracted by the bright pretty white light,
then under realization of the magnitude,
scare of the possibilities.

those with strength of spirit

stay rested in their feet,
in some way aware of the good
aware of the bigger

we are not you, not me
we are unknown, unnamed.
weightless,
sightless,
soundless.

we are breathless.

an unsaid knowledge

quiet and still my breaths
beats slow to and from my breathing heart
steadily, silently, i weep for my solitude.
my brain unable to stop
it does not know how to sit
it does not know how to silent
it does not understand why

my self prayer of peace
comes through practice and belief
belief in myself
belief in the universe
in the unsaid wisdom

i love you
you are the divine
i will work with you and for you
my number one priority

the goal to redeliver
only improving to be done onto others
a treat for the unaware
my love for you is continuous.


a see you later'


the moment of a person in your life
attachments grown
afraid to say goodbye


we are the blind [for listening]


following a curvy path,
leading nowhere in particular
ending out of sight of eyes
ending out of sound of ears

not so dangerous as faith
not so cunning as the taught
disguised in good graces
meant for all the best
undeserving of such lies

sour tastes
hungry breath
sucking the very life of your own soul
you blind your very being
with all the lies we listen
we believe
we teach

i used to love the knowledge
i've learned to question the told
question everything

for nothing is ever certain


a quest of ions

a solitude
because i choose it so?

a quiet
because unasked of more?

a lone
because awaiting the best?

unanswered
unbelieved
silent to the tips

once never believed so
never delivered
never opened
never received

a silent heart remains so
until believed more
i am the divine

dream walker

sleep traveler
time shifter

to possess such a thing
so powerful
so precious

to defend with good
fight away the terror
and the bad

dream walker
sleep traveler
time shifter

8.12.2011

still unbelieving


unaware of how to start
or where to end


The Voice Of Knowledge


you will know that you are free
when you no longer
have to be you.

-Don Miguel Ruiz
[The Voice Of Knowledge]


silent mirrors

if i am perfect,
then my love is abundant
i have enough for myself
and plenty to share

my story is my own journey
which takes no other tale
you cannot see my path
or hear my foot steps

i am but a mere memory in your story
your own path
sullen with your imprints
a sole pair travel that route

we interact out of love
share thoughts and ideas
express kindness and pleasantries

i am your silent partner
yet both our own stories
share similarities
carved by our love

a changed looking glass

i've rebelled against truth
i've dismissed any intent of good
i've claimed anonymity

afraid to be false,
afraid to fail,
afraid i wasn't real

i exist, but on another channel
pure thought cannot be expressed
words complicate truth
truth is trust
and trust is perfection
perfection equals love


8.04.2011

what is really real?


as soon as it is a thought
it is no longer "real"

[it no longer exists]

all just a manufacture

i am the reproduction of a society.
i am a manufactured product.
i am the falsity of realism.
i am a denial of reality.
i am a tool to sell you on ideas.

--if i was really here, i wouldn't have a face--


7.28.2011

my baby girl

i love you my darling baby girl;
you are my moon, my earth, stars and sun.

i love you my baby girl;
to want to give you the moon, the earth, stars and sun.

i love you my beautiful baby girl;
to treasure you most important, even above myself.

i love you my sweetest baby girl;
with the purest intentions to protect you and help you grow.

i love you my most treasured baby girl;
that i have to stand by and let you fall or you will never learn at all.

eloping

the words ran away with the spoon.
they hid under the porch steps with the neighbors cat;
sneaking nibblets out of the raccoons dish,
and laying underneath the twinkling sky,
catching rain drops on their tongue.

until they became speechless
and all that remained were a bunch of letters
arranged in a row,
making sounds emitted from humans mouths.
ears catching reverberations
that used to hold meaning,
now just clusters of curious mocking sounds.

with nothing left to do,
the lips sealed themselves shut,
allowing the ears to awaken from their slumber.

to sit there and listen.
