In previous entries I have documented the fact that it seems that just recently that more and more doors are closing in my life giving me less and less opportunity.
At the same time it seems that as a result of my process of self exploration, it feels like more and more windows are opening in my soul.
Today I find that, stuck in the US with a house which is effected by the falling house market...1 Recommendation6 Comments

Poem written by my daughter for her little baby girl
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 |
This was written by my daughter Cynthia for her daughter Lorelei and read it at Lorelei's memorial on 2-5-09
My heart has been ripped out, with only remnants left behind, I hold onto life, holding on to what's kind.
I pray for the pain to end, waiting for my sweet memories to begin, closing my eyes I find her inside, the love of my "Sweet Pea" will never end.

Once upon a time there were two seeds on a maple tree.... One was named Him, and one was named Her.
Him and Her grew among many other seeds, not noticing each other. During this time, the branches and leaves instructed the seeds of their job on earth. They were to leave the tree, and follow the wind...and if possible, they were to find a place to land where they could grow to be big, stron...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

Marie
thank you.....
you taught me so much, with what little you had
your mind was not par with the rest
your behavior not the same
your were locked away and ignored
left to die alone
the music played through you in ways
only an attuned listener could know
and echoes today as ripples
i hearyour voice in the rain, feel your presense in the wind
thank you.. thank you.....1 Recommendation5 Comments -

There Ia a Reason for Everything:
By: Helen Steiner Rice
Our Father knows what's best for us,so why should we complain?
We always want the sunshine,but He knows there must be rain.
We love the sound of laughter and the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts would lose their tenderness if we never shed a tear.
Our Father test us often with suffering and with sorrow;
He test us not to punish us but t...2 Recommendations4 Comments -

We are all the pearl within the shell. One day the shell will disappear and shining will be the pearl only.
As I get older, and for me its only 43, the small child in me still drives this vehicle. The being that I know I am is still the one trying to park this body, pick up this body and , aaaand... deal with the storms of emotions that pass through it. Have I improved the body, yes at time...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

Everybody has down periods from time to time even somebody working on developing a positive attitude like me. The key thing is that there for you when you are up against it.
Recently I have been suffereing with lack of sleep. I seem to wake up at 5 AM everyday at the moment for no apparent reason.

the cool snow covers the grass
locking all sound into silence
as lovers sweat out their passions
between the bed sheets as the sun comes up
his hands stretch across her body
touching deeply her inner soul
and taking her away to a thoughtless place
where the wind and light are formed
a joining of the two, thrusting like the tides
and the sea, in and out wrapping and losing themselves
guided by the strength...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

Perfection
Names and reputations burn out like embers
Turning to dust in the night
Building and holding up a name
Watch others to see how you should look, talk and live
Judge your self according to media, and casual opinion
Work on ourselves spiritually to ensure a future happiness for our self
Walk through life with walls and fences up at all times to protect your self from invasion of pain and...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

Because the things I have found in myself were never there until I needed them.
The strength to accept today and enjoy the pleasures it will bring.
The fortitude never to give up hope in tomorrow.
The wisdom to teach my children that our strengths are found in our hearts and souls not our arms and legs.
The courage to give and take love unselfishly, knowing that the more I love,the more my hea...2 Recommendations2 Comments -

We need friends
We need each other...
In times of private pain,
of fear and stress;
We need each other...
to share our joys,
our times of happiness;
We need each other...
to hold on and be strong, and
encourage when things are going wrong;
We need each other...
to keep the faith and love,
and remind each other of all
the things we're dreaming of;
We need each other... now and
