  • Being old is actually true freedom (i love this poem)

    Monday, August 31, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Being old is true freedom (i love this poem) 
    As I've aged, I've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend. I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying something silly that I didn't need. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be silly or eccentric.
    I have seen too many dear friends lea...

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1 Corinthians 13, its another scorcher

    Monday, June 22, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
    All life is an experiment.
    The more experiments you make the better.
    What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again; you shall never be so afraid of a tumble."
    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    Sometimes things have to fall apart,
    so that we can ch...

  • Who is this girl? And why does everybody like her?

    Saturday, October 18, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Who is this girl?
    And why does everybody like her?
    I see her on a daily bases.
    Girls envy here from afar,
    And guys want her.
    Who is this girl?
    She has soft almond shaped hazel eyes deep enough to reach her soul,
    Pink pouty lips begging to be kissed,
    A cute smile, front teeth slightly apart
    Brown and blond hair wisped behind her ears.
    Who is this girl?
    And why does everybody like her?
    Where did sh...

  • hospital poem

    Monday, October 20, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    Perched in a leaning tree, in the midst of God's art
    I like to believe that we are all works of God's love
    A love that fills the senses and blots out the pain.
    I fear that the pain, however, is something else that God made.
    Hope or caution--which should we have more of?
    If God is in all of us, where do I find Him in Hitler or Mom?
    IS there a guiding hand that dares lead us so slowly and is pati...
