Affirmation for November 4, 2009: Epicurus
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. ~Epicurus Greek philosopher (341 BC - 270 BC) ...

I am so exhausted. He called this morning, and acted as though nothing happened last night, and I have no reason to be upset. Yet he asked me if there were going to be any surprises when he gets home. Meaning have I gone to file for divorce and will he be getting served when he gets home. I am really not feeling up to having him here, I am not up to pretending that nothing...

I cant believe that I have actually played host to TWO greyhounds here tonight - when Daisy is coming tomorrow.
The greyhound I fell in love with last month, which gave rise to my having Daisy, had a friend staying - ARNIE!.....who was absolutely huge. Her owner brought them both! The meeting I have monthly at my house, to do with some work I do, is very informal, about eight of ...1 Recommendation12 Comments

Trees
by Sergeant Joyce Kilmer
1886-1918
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of Robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,

Truth is I didn't really think my poems were worth sharing but maybe they are. I wrote this one in early '07. It is dedicated to Fibromyalgia. Although, it could be written to any disease that has such an extreme effect on our lives.
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I yell
Silent screams within, is this hell?
Sometimes I fight, sometimes I flee
Even freeze as it torments me

Some may think I have never been down in the deep, dark pit of despair but I have been there more than once. So, about a year ago I wrote this poem. I have many dark poems and some dark songs I wrote, chorded, played and sung. I have been there.
On the road of fear
Darkness, only darkness
Fully frightened
All alone I was
They looked me over
My family did
With eyes cast down
They turned ...2 Recommendations10 Comments -

Why
I need a hand to hold
To hold me from the ledge
of all this craziness.
Why all the rain?
Why all this pain?
Why all these tears?
If you can walk on water
the put the pieces of
my heart back together.
I need sanity, I need Joy
I need love! Why are
You hiding from me?
I know the darkest part
is right before the dawn
I know you have my back.
This thread I'm holding onto
will soon break. So here

heart cracks, not broken, just cracks
missing those that are gone, that is all
feelings, sneaking up are not fair
leaking out into the day, slipping I fall
into the gray of the thinking pain
that washes into my chest, I fear
there I will stand revealed ,the real me
that the strength I pretend will disappear
No, no think happy thoughts
I am waiting for the healing to begin
heart cracks, I am told mend wit...1 Recommendation8 Comments -

The old lose their language
In native tongue timing is clean, like water
Sparkling, clear, simple
Like before the war.
Why waste time with English?
It has no space for memories
Clipped, efficient, like soldiers
Marching through the mind.
When I was young we spoke feelings.
Beauty, nature, song prayer, a baby's cry
A girl laughing and a tear
How it feels when the wind blows
abd the sun shines.

A Ode to Arthritis
I’m not disposed to hysterical bursts or emotional crying,
but since I’ve had this damned disease, to deny it would be lying.
Doctor sent me to a rheumy specialist, a master of his field,
“I think you have Rheumatoid Arthritis” he said, your future now is sealed.
I’ve had that many X-Rays, I’m amazed I‘m not glowing bright green,

A question in one of our groups caused me to dig out one of my favorite poems by Amy Carmichael, I know I posted it in my journal at least a year or more ago, but it is one you couldn't go wrong to read again, especially if there is anything in your life that is less than p e r f e c t !!!!
