Raindrops. Soft, quiet, serene
Unlike the noises of thunderous terrains
Raindrops breathe life, love, play; in a stillness that comforts
All wrapped in covers so deep.
Waters pour; let it rain.

Having you around makes me happy, makes me smile.
Having you here …but there,
Makes my smile …like clouds,
Afraid to come out.
Response
Don’t be, I feel weird all the time.
When I come I want you to shine like the sun you are.
You pour positivity and smiles into me.
If you’re afraid to radiate we’ll both suffer.

To thine own self be true
Appearance is a concept that leads to perception. We envision, perceive, admire what we see in outward appearances, and cast them all as true.
Looking, believing that all things are true. That all things are for real. That things are always what they appear to be.
Love, hate, success, failure, laughs, cries, happiness, sadness, beauty, life, stillness, peace, turmoil.
Things aren’t always what they appear to be. Look deep inside yourself. Uncover the truth. All that glitters is not gold…But to thine own-self be true.

To lead, to Wade…Darkness. Life’s unexpected changes often knock us off our feet. Business fail. Sudden job loss, relationship spiral, sickness, accidents, natural disasters, tragic losses. These changes knock us off our feet causing darkness in our souls, our lives, our all. We look around and all we see is gloom and doom.
Questions abound often going unanswered. Why? Why didn’t we listen? Why weren’t we forewarned? …Then how. How could this happen? How could we have not seen, or heard? How can they not care?
Enter the example of the ‘sudden’ departure of Basketball’s Icon Dwayne Wade from the Miami Heat . The why’s, the how’s, and the blames reign. Answers provide little comfort as he walks behind the heels of those gone before.
That’s how it is with change. It throws us off balance and causes alarm, cries, and sighs. We want things back the way they were!
But often there are warning signs.
So today activate your senses. Keep your eyes wide open…see. Keep your ears attuned. Look around. Listen. Often the signs are very evident if only we are in tune.
Stay healthy. Stay alert. Stay focused. As darkness draws nigh, we always see the sun setting.
Peace.

The vibes; the rythms; the mystic music enthuse our frame of mind and instigate thoughts that Quiets our souls in distant love. Island… creates the feeling of contentment that all is well. No matter how busy life gets, an island waits in the distance to soothe our longings.
Why not plan a getaway to any of the caribbean islands – Jamaica, Trinidad, Bahamas, Cayman, and more. Listen…can you not hear it? They are a Calling with promises of lazy days basking in the sun, sea and sand.
One Love…
