“The Gentalist Sonnet
I only ask one thing of my soldier – everything!
Give up all, so that those with nothing receive life.
What can I give to thee, except for this life of mine,
Says the brave gentalist across all personal strife.
Gente means people, and people are the music of life.
Love the people, lift the people, people are the way.
Not your people, not my people, it's all one people.
Once you feel it in your bones, uplift is on its way.
I don't believe in a messiah, I don't believe in a god,
‘Cause I’m far too accountable for my society, my world.
Thus speaks the gentalist, burning with a sense of duty,
Thus speaks the living aid, who ain’t no mythical lord.
If a chunk of alum can purify a bucket of putrid water,
Your heart can purify the world with its gentalist power.”

“The gentle waves caress the shore, each ebb and flow echoing the rhythm of her heartbeat. As the sun climbs higher, casting golden rays upon the water, she feels the warmth envelop her like a lover's embrace. It’s a sanctuary, this beach, where the weight of the world melts away and the whispers of the ocean harmonize with the stories she carries within.
In this serene moment, she reflects on the journey that has brought her here ~ a tapestry woven with threads of joy, sorrow, love, and loss. Each experience a lesson, each heartbreak a stepping stone. She understands now that the divine feminine within her is a wellspring of strength, intuition, and creativity, guiding her through the labyrinth of life.
As she walks along the shoreline, the sand soft beneath her feet, she feels a connection to the earth, to the ancestors who walked this path before her. They, too, whispered tales of resilience and transformation, of standing tall in the face of adversity. With every step, she honors their legacy, embracing her own story as part of a greater narrative.
The ocean glistens like a thousand diamonds, reflecting the brilliance of her spirit. She closes her eyes, breathing in the salty air, allowing the sound of the waves to wash over her. In this moment of stillness, she hears the call of the wild ~ the laughter of the gulls, the rustle of palm fronds in the breeze, and the distant echo of her own heart.
She knows that the divine feminine within her is a force of nature, unbound and free. She dances with the wind, swaying to a rhythm only she can hear, celebrating the beauty of her existence. In this sacred space, she is both the storyteller and the story, weaving her own magic into the tapestry of life.
And as the sun begins to set, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, she feels a profound sense of peace. She is whole, she is glowing, and she is ready to embrace whatever comes next. The tales she whispers are not just echoes of the past ~ they are the seeds of possibility, waiting to bloom in the light of the future...”

“The gentleman has nine cares. In seeing he is careful to see clearly; in hearing he is careful to hear distinctly; in his looks he is careful to be kind, in his manner to be respectful, in his words to be sincere, in his work to be diligent.
