The Dance ..... for Spencer

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.

WHEN to fly .....

How do they know...

What separates
one moment
to the next
of knowing
HOW ...
WHEN ...
WHERE ...to leap
and fly ....


I noticed the
cheering from
three ~ four
encouragements
on the
sidelines ...
it got louder
& louder ...
the nest stirred
more & more ...
each one popped up
taking the first flutter
of feathers ...
moving to the song
of the chorus outside
the nest ..... wake up,

it's time ...

come ... come

come with us !

JOY .... !!
the tribe
really matters
in times of
remembering for us
when we need to
spread
our wings
to fly ....

I am

now

forever

changed ...

I became

the witness

to a precious cycle ...

The miracle

of life ....

Music : "The Prayer" by Rhema Marvanne (7 yrs.old)

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 ....

LOOK DEEP ENOUGH.......

Let us live

for the grace beneath all we want,

let us see it in everything and everyone

till we admit to the mystery

that when I look deep enough into you

I find

me

and when you dare to hear my fear

in the recess of your heart

you recognize it as

your

secret

which you thought

no one else knew...

Poetry by ~ MARK NEPO ~ Photo by ~ GREGORY COLBERT ~

SAY WHAT YOU FEEL.....

Be who you are
and say
what you feel
because those
who mind don't matter
and those
who matter don't mind.

~ Dr. Seuss ~

ENTER into the Divine......

God enters by a private door

into every individual

BELIEVE ... in Angels

There are only two ways to live your life......

One is as though nothing is a miracle.....

The other is as if everything is a miracle......

~ Albert Einstein ~

LOVE

......where there is love......there is no question

~Marianne Williamson~..just one sincere surrendered moment when love matters more than anything and we know that nothing else really matters at all.

We are so

lightly here

It is in love
that we are made

In love we disappear

~Leonard Cohen~

"To know love of another....

you must find it

within yourself.

You manifest only that

which reflects

from your heart"

~ RUMI ~

In order to create...

there must be

a dynamic force....

and what force

is more potent

than love?
~ Igor Stravinsky~

today's epiphany..................

i'm repeating my un-happinesses based on
someone elses idea of being happy.

...REACTING to how they think i should be

...BELIEVING them when they tell me who i am.

now i feel
the reflection is me

this is the day to change the dream..........

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~


The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
~Eleanor Roosevelt ~



A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life.
~ Abraham ~

Look deep,

deep into nature,

and then you will

understand

everything better

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.
