I sit alone and listen

To the still breezes of the night

As they bounce from tree to tree

Like thoughts roaming through my mind

I wonder if this is it

Will I ever find true love

Or will I always be alone

Like the darkness up above

I pray that there is someone

To love and hold me, too

And if my destiny doesn’t hold true

May I find peace in friends like you.

The sky

Seems to be turning black

The wind

Coming at high speed

Ripping the leaves

From the trees

Only minutes go by

Leaving creeks everywhere

The sun breaks through

The clouds above

Showing off its radiant light

Giving the world a fresh new look

People go on about their business

Others about their work

Deep down inside we somehow know

Today

Is one of those perfect days

Outside!

There’s a story that the Earth would tell

Of man that did not know himself,

Yet God granted him His Earth to rule it kindly.

And, what the Earth does know and ever tells,

Though man chooses not to hear it well,

Was through how he ruled he’d know himself more clearly.

Dear Ones, if you could only see

Your reigning glory like the tree,

Made of Oak, so strong, its leaves so green. It grows for All...

So, think first before you’d cut it down,

Or scatter parts of Earth around,

To build castles made from Him, but made unloving.

Your Earth still waits for man to see

His reigning glory like the tree,

To find shelter there from wind and storms surrounding.

Know God’s love for you throughout His Earth,

And, make life around you One to serve,

The One, your King, who knows his son so kindly.

Within man and Earth lives God, so love Him kindly.

I never felt I was good enough...

Not a good enough daughter, sister, 

friend, teacher, mother, neighbour etc...

Because I never felt I was good enough,

I gave too much and tried too hard...

I wasn't aware of this feeling...

I didn't know how to deal with it...

I tried to get others to like me,

appreciate me, approve of me, see me and value me...

Now I am just me...

Good enough as I am...

If I could tell you that the love we experience in this life carries on when we die, I would, and I AM and I WILL!

The wind blowing a certain way makes you remember ME; it is ME!

The scent of my cologne/perfume makes you remember ME; it is ME!

The warm feeling in your heart, followed by the ache in your heart, makes you remember ME; it is ME!

The movement from the corner of your eye makes you remember ME; it is ME!

The feeling in the car when you are alone makes you remember ME; it is ME!

Sitting in MY favorite chair, makes you remember ME; it is ME!

Thinking of ME all of a sudden during the day makes you remember ME; it is ME!

You thought I was in your dream last night, makes you remember ME; it is ME!

You found a penny today, makes you remember ME; it is ME!

When you remember the dancing/laughing/crying, makes you remember ME; it is ME!

I am always with you. I will never leave you. The love we shared keeps us connected forever and until we meet again, remember, IT IS ME!

If I could find the perfect words, I would. 

If I could explain why death occurs, I would.

If I could explain why we go when our number is up, I would.

If I could do anything to take the pain away, I would.

If I could explain to a mother/father why their baby was called, I would.

If I could explain why we love so hard to experience grief later, I would.

It is not other people’s obligation to make you happy; your family, friends, children, lovers are not responsible for making your life exciting and successful. It is entirely up to you to create the best you can out of your life. You have to fill your days and years with meaning and value the special moments and remember to write them in cursive in the book of life! 

If you got the chance to read your book once more, would you read it again or would you ask to be given a new book with blank pages and a different content?

I would ask for the chance to write a new book. Some chapters I would keep but rewrite while I would remove other, but special occasions and moments, the pages in cursive I would keep and read them once more!

Most of the time I was not present in my life – today only was. I did not notice that the days just passed while I was waiting for something to happen in the future, in a week, a year, next month… fame, happiness, success and love. When the future was there I had already lost it. I was not present that day. I had forgotten to stop and smell the flowers. In my thoughts and mind I was planning next week and month. The days turned to nights and was over and forgotten before they had even started.

Life is like an unwritten book, you write new pages every day and each sunset you turn the page and start on a fresh new sheet of paper. Don’t go back, to much to read of your the old chapters, they are written and are the past. They have given you experience and wisdom and stories about joy, happiness, sorrow and pain, good and bad days. They tell you the story of your life as it was before! Do not worry about the rest of the book, new pages will come, but they will never be the as you dreamt about. Your book can have many pages but little content, or few pages but still contain a lot! Enjoy the ride, write as much as you can on each sheet to make your life an exciting story that you would like to read once more!

Do not forget to live today. It’s the moment you waited and longed for while you dreamt about the future.

are angelic deeds angels working through us?

or

do we all have angelic qualities within?

either way life becomes much more beautiful 

and rewarding when we let angelic deeds flow

through us and from us...

Who are they?

Some say they are spirits...

Where are they?

Some say they are in heaven...

How do they look?

Some say they have wings...

How do they work?

Some say they help us...

What do you say?

Be proud of yourself

when you follow your dreams

Don’t look back,

look ahead 

you are right

When you follow 

the tingling

feeling inside

it’s a sign from your soul

start the fight

Fight for your talents

for what you believe

Fight for what’s true for you now

Some steps on the path

are just placed there to show

you the stairs 

and the next road to go.
