Family and friends are all the flowers in a beautiful garden.
Husband is ‘Hand in Hand’……’Heart in Heart’……’Mind in Mind’……strolling together through the garden of life.
He is the sun that warms your heart, the moon that romances your soul, the rain that cools the sweat of your brow.
One and One MAKES ONE as you toil together through life’s journey.

Until an emergency, ‘we the people’ are unaware of the magnitude of those who ‘raise the bar’ to protect us.
As a nation we are in AWE to our witness of each brave outpour of professionals and bystanders, again in action. Our lives and very breath we take, depends on their loyalty to sacrifice.
Now for the rest of us, let’s do our part.

Dear People,
Don’t ever be afraid to LOVE because you hurt so hard.
Don’t ever be afraid to HURT because you loved so hard.
Life is a RISK and to be experienced and LIVED.
Focus on the WONDER of it all while here in touching the hand of a stranger or the fleeting passing of a loved one.
We each take our turn traveling that bridge between LIFE & DEATH, being part of the mixture toward eternity.

What a wonderful thing called ‘life’ that comes but once in the form of your own lifetime.
The wonders of ‘living’ are thriving all around you and what great pity if they be ignored.
A city becomes a robot because of its independence of one another. The country has a heart that reaches out and touches all its dwellings as if they were under one roof.
To be in contact with nature brings more of ourselves to the surface which otherwise would be isolated or smothered.
The simple basic things are still the surviving things that must be expressed or starvation sets in, creating the need and desire for substitutes.
‘Living’ positively demands increased alertness and awareness in the preparations of things. To strive towards any goal and stumble or fall is a far difference to careless blundering which paves the way down a negative path.
This world is an investment which adds or subtracts to our own ends. The fine art of living requires our own contribution of self in its entirety.

A ‘Tree’ impresses upon me the reason for living.
A feeling of purpose in the process, emanates from its boughs.
All the virtues of living stand true in its varied majestic expressions of knowing, that it is to JUST BE.
Strength and determination show in its steadfastness to survive.
The message towards completion of its aims, are indelibly marked, in its ever presence of long standing.

Heavy is my heart for another’s sadness, how to bring about this robbed gladness.
The long and empty stare through space, that’s written across the lonely one’s face.
Much longer I cannot bear the weight, of this pain so inflicted upon their fate.
Will ever the warmth of life’s embers be near, to once again bathe them in the light of promise here.
Somehow a newness must be known, for only they who are willing……it will be shown.

Through many worlds we come to be, found and then again lost in the vast sea of infinity.
What purpose all this fervor be, this endless search for one to be.
A restless hunger so great indeed, driven in such desperation to succeed.
From this life’s learning can mean in HELL BURNING, or graciously growing towards humble knowing.
Where then does beauty be, amidst much pain and misery.
The price sooner or later paid we find, are only our dues over the great span of time.
Let not rare moments slip by unknowing, hold fast this precious works its showing.
Alas comes the darkness…then more light, as can only be in the way of life.

Off into the distance I look to see, the height, breadth and depth of thee. Thine eyes scaling the highest peak, only begins the search I seek.
Across the mighty plains I scan, seeming more the wonderment in his plan.
Below the valleys dip and curve, bearing quiet knowledge that they too serve.
These moments shared of brief pleasures, touch upon another of life’s treasures.
I listen to the stillness……feel the presence of the bigness out there, like the softness of a whisper, speaks the silence everywhere.
Comes suddenly this feeling welling up within, filling any emptiness that has ever been.
Again, tuned in oneness with all nature has to bear, shows the purpose and its meaning that a human must share.

“MIND MATTER MOTION”…………Throughout my life I have learned to appreciate this existence through the internal and external teachings of ‘mind’ ‘matter’ and ‘motion.’ From these universal principles awakened an insight for me wherein exists a world of depth, never ending in wealth and enrichment of spirit.
Human beings I have come to know as a natural phenomena of most amazing sorts for we have shared the paths of grief and glory. Man, woman and child constitute a uniqueness somewhat elusive in character which I care to define as being Mind-Matter-Motion……the unique ‘intelligence.’
This intelligence is time and cannot be measured as it is a growing thing. You need only to look around you to see the intricacies which balance the scales in all of nature’s living things. A flower completes its experience from seed to bloom only through the process that takes place with the passing of time. Animals possessing instinct need time to master their built in set of tools. Humankind, an even greater network of complexities must combine a balance within of mind, body and spirit. The origin of all things is a continuing process of change as a rolling stone reshapes and refines its material over the vast span of time.
What possible testing or judgement could determine the inner destiny of what is always a beginning? How could the depth or breadth of character be accurately weighed before life’s hurdles passed over, enroute in the course of living. To capture the meaning of intelligence through any means would be to question a wave born of the sea, weaned about the jagged cliffs, breaking into endless spray or to account for every grain of sand upon a beach. No……we can only know fleetingly the moment which slips away into inevitable disguise, becoming something more.
What then is INTELLIGENCE but the INFINITE WHOLE, ‘ONENESS’……humankind down to their individual contribution of self. Then who be this self but a unique being molded with the ingredients of all things, insignificant within its size in number, yet greatly significant in its presence and purpose of meaning.
Man, woman and child are linked together in a mixture of molecules and mystery, uncertain in their destiny through the movement of life giving processes. MIND does not die, MATTER momentarily disorganizes from whence it becomes reorganized, MOTION is the act of becoming inevitably something more.
In this moment I am focusing my being upon mind and matter, the vehicles of process propelled by the expression of motion, so vital in discovering and defining my identity. Journeying within this moment I am sensing earth and space with great intensity as the activity of life and living burst all around me. HAPPY EASTER!
