    Tuesday, February 12, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    I am becoming all sentimental... bare with men....
    I Will Not Die an Unlived Life, Dawna Markova
    I will not die an unlived life 
    I will not live in fear 
    of falling or catching fire. 
    I choose to inhabit my days, 
    to allow my living to open me, 
    to make me less afraid, 
    more accessible, 
    to loosen my heart 
    until it becomes a wing, 
    a torch, a promise. 
    I cho...

  • Beauty

    Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    She Walks In Beauty by George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
    Composed June, 1814
    She walks in beauty, like the night
    Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
    And all that's best of dark and bright
    Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
    Thus mellow'd to that tender light
    Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
    One shade the more, one ray the less,
    Had half impair'd the nameless grace
    Which ...

  • We Will Never Forget

    Wednesday, September 10, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    Where Is God? A plane hits- many will die
    Another hit- people begin to cry
    Where is God?
    A third plows into the Pentagon
    Plane number four crashes- many more are gone
    Where is God?
    Rescuers rush in- the buildings fall
    Our country mourns- death has touched us all
    Where is God?
    Churches open- people come to pray
    People are found in the rubble- alive they say
    Here is God
    Strangers helping strangers fast become ...

  • Song for My Grandpa

    Monday, September 15, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    "A Little Bit Longer (You Don't Even Know)"
    Got the news today
    But they said i had to stay
    A little bit longer and i'd be fine
    When i thought it'd all be done
    When I thought it'd all been said
    A little bit longer and I'll be fine.
    But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
    And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
    And everytime you smile or laug...

  • Courage to face tomorrow

    Friday, October 3, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

     
    Courage is admitting that you’re afraid and facing that fear directly.
    It’s being strong enough to ask for help and humble enough to accept it. Courage is standing up for what you believe in without worrying about the opinions of others.
    It’s following your own heart, living your own life,
    and settling for nothing less than the best for yourself.
    Courage is daring to take a f...

  • Prayers

    Saturday, October 11, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    I
    C stands for concentrate. The first word in the model prayer is “Father.” Almighty God says that His children are to go to Him and call Him Father. We are to concentrate on Him as God, Father, His nature, His character, His dominion, His omnipresence. That’s the first ingredient.
    H stands for hallowed. “Hallowed be Your name.” The name of God is not to be used in a ...

  • Tears and Pain

    Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    “There is a general notion that if we go through suffering, tribulations and physical pain then our system will be purified. This idea is not founded upon reality.”
    “We shall not welcome pain; we shall try to conquer pain if it appears. If we can take pain as an experience, then we can try to transform it into joy by our own identification with joy, which we then try to bring int...

  • Angels Sing in Me

    Monday, November 17, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

      Angels Sing In Me
    Angels sing in me.
    I rush to write down what I hear.
    I carry a pad and pencil everywhere,
    for this singing may come at any hour in any place.
    I must get it down quickly and turn it into words
    and phrases before it passes away,
    leaving no trace.
    For the Angels, I have noticed,
    hardly ever sing...

  • The stalker

    Saturday, June 13, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    I looked in my rearview mirror. His black shiny lexus was there. He followed me but never spoke. I must admit I was intrigued. When ever he was close by I could feel him drawing me in Like a moth to a flame. I knew him from high school. He had the biggest crush on me. I don;t know why. I was.nt anyone special. Just another average person who wanted to make a difference in this life. All I know is...
