In the turn of this new year
I look back to sense what's here
trying to see how things have changed
helps me see what's still the same

I learned that more and more is more
there's isn't meaning behind that door
I saw my closet full from shopping days
and learned that freedom comes in other ways

I learned that anger speaks to me
of things inside, disharmony
I learned that trying to make it right
just increased my appetite

I learned that blaming you that day
was really my ego out to play
and realized that, with every word
my own demise I never heard

I learned that I made lots of mistakes
and felt the sting, like bites from snakes
but with each one came a message to know
and it was here that I would grow

I learned that as I judged you wrong
my heart could never sing its song
and missed the reason that came to me
as I told the stories from my history

I think I'll choose a new true path
to walk with flowers and flowing grass
to create on this land, a brand new life
where love rules over trouble and strife

And if I get angry or fearful this time
I'll keep my heart open for a new sign
I'll look to see what the mirror of life has to say
and see in my self what I don't like today

And as the sea swells and it turns with the tide
I'll look for your friendship, for you by my side
and as each wave comes to crash on the shore
I'll feel its streaming love, for there is no more

And in this year, I will come to show
that love can keep standing through all the blows
and with my heart, authentic and true
I'll rejoice in the lessons I learn from you.

Daring to be Yourself The aim of this book is to help you achieve a 'wide-awake' state of consciousness, with integrated use of left and right brain abilities, forming the bedrock for breakthroughs in personal consciousness and spiritual insight. The practice is based on the premise that we have learned disabilities which set boundaries to our action and knowing. But no one need accept that they must remain as they were shaped by their hereditary body-mind and by the conditioning of their childhood and culture. This 264-page paperback book is like a "best of" the trans4mind site - that you can read snuggled up on the sofa, away from the computer! But much more than that, it's also an incredibly powerful program for personal growth. Remove the barriers to self-knowledge and reveal your full potential with this step-by-step approach. Our Blog features excerpts from the book plus current news, views and links. "I realize many people use praise in ways that sound frivolous...but I must tell you that your book has changed my life AND I mean that in all ways. I found the entire work wonderfully upbeat, readable and valuable! It really was quite a wakeup call. In the midst of my "trials and tribulations" I had failed to be "me." Anyway, this "talk with you" really did change my life. Thank you! I needed this kind of "kick in the pants." It worked. WOW! You made a huge difference in my world."–Becky, USA
