my hurt WAS the definition of my life

silence mind ..
open heart ...
welcome home ....

 

 

 

The Dance ..... for Spencer

 

Music - Lyrics: GARTH BROOKS Photos: Kristi

Lyrics:
  Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above.
For a moment all the world was right .
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye .
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance.
Holding you I held everything..
For a moment wasn't I a king.
But if I'd only known how the king would fall..
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all.
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance.
Yes my life is better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance.

BLOOM . . . where you are seeded

I believe that God is in me

as the sun

is in the color and fragrance

of a flower ~

the Light

in my darkness,

the Voice

in my silence

Adversity CREATES a better World . . .

Adversity

is a strand
that mother nature

weaves
into
our lives

along with other strands
of various aspects
to create a
spectacular tapestry ...


reds for excitement and joy,
green for new growth and hope,
blue for calmness and meditation,
purples for higher spiritual self,
yellows for happiness and comfort
blacks for grief, sadness and trials.

But without the blacks and darker shades

there can be no depth and dimension in the pattern.

Being a Christian nun originally from India, I believe in the hand of God leading and guiding us all to our destiny. But we are all pilgrims and we cannot do it alone. We need one another especially in times of adversity.


It is at that time that God shows Himself/Herself to us in the form of friends, relatives, neighbours and people of good will, irrespective of Creed, Caste, Colour or beliefs. We need one another and we need to empower one another especially women where cultures and countries have shackled them.

Together we can make this a better world for all.

POETS, SEERS and SAINTS....

The Souls of people, on their way to Earth-life,

pass through a room full of Lights;

Each takes a Taper

(often only a spark)

to guide it in the dim country of this world.

But some souls are rare fortune

they are detained longer and have time

to grab a handful of Tapers which they weave into a Torch.

These are the Torch-Bearers of humanity...

its Poets, Seers, and Saints,

who lead and lift the race out of darkness

towards the Light.

They are the lawgivers and the Saviors,

the Light-Bring..ers,

Way- Show..ers and

Truth-Tell..ers

and without them,

Humanity

would Loose its way in the Dark ....
