Time Out…
Peace, quiet, calm, serenity. That’s what weekends, holidays, vacations are for. To reboot, unwind, and get back in the game.
As workaholics, we don’t often do it. We feel it’s a Luxury that we cannot afford. Still, we spend time wishing, hoping, even complaining at times. But we can do anything that we put our minds to. And …relaxing is one of the most important things to do.
So plan a getaway! Or a Staycation! It will work wonders for your mind, your work, your business, career, and your life.
Breathe.

Silent Praise…
He awoke. Leg gone but still with us. We give praise. Quiet at first, then with increased resound!
Reminds me of other life experiences that creates desires for thanksgiving. Birth. Marriage. Abundance. A job; a contract. Storms pass. Sweet revenge. Birds tweet. Insects move. Lions roar.
Wonders of the world. All sing silent Praise.

Beneath The Surface…
What we don’t see….CAN hurt. Violence, anger, strife, held beneath the surface can cause harm. Such harm often leads to hurt, fear, pain that maim, and even ultimate death.
Look around. This has been on the rise. Happening often with the common comment “quiet person causes no harm”.
Silent River Runs Deep.
Silent River Runs Deep… is an old fable that seems to be applicable these days.
Woke up to the news that a father shot his 2 kids then turned the gun on himself. The feedback …”good parent, no signs of child abuse, always good father”. And there are many many more stories like this.
What’s going on?… is the common question.
Time for society to pull together. To work together within our communities to help. Signs. There are always signs. If only we see, if only our eyes are open. We’re now a society with heads down. Heads down in our phone. Heads down in virtuality, when the real world holds us as victims.
It’s time to raise our heads up. Open our eyes. Take a look at our neighbors, coworkers, friends, families; and at times our foes; our haters, our enemies. Let’s look; recognize the signals being sent. All around us there are signs.
Let’s not wait until it’s ….too late.

Future Nightmares Degenerate
Nightmares of the past creep into the face of the future. Stares so deep triggers haunting thoughts of shame, disgust, turmoil, and fear.
Tis only with strength that the force awakens the face from sleep. A sleep that sparkles promises of a future composed of beauty’s quiescence. A face filled with smiles, calm, and joy. A face of Peace.
Smile my face smile. Nightmare’s gone. Softly and tenderly the future calls.

Coward’s Radiate
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.
(Writings to my beautiful college teen)

Water …
Water…a necessity for life. For living. We can’t do without it.
Surprisingly, I came across a site that captures only raindrops. It caught my attention as I love the different forms water comes in. It may be the river, the sea, the tap, waterfall, canal, stream; it may even appear through bursts of lightening and thunder!
Water though essential to living can also be extremely dangerous. It gives life and it can take it. Should we be afraid? No, not at all. As with many things in life it’s our approach that counts. Either we care for it, plan for it, or neglect it as in hurricane warnings and suffer the consequences.
Today, may we bask in the comfort and delights of magical streams. Let’s dream. Let’s quiet our hearts with distant love.
Drink deeply.

Survive. Mourn. Rebuild
Tears in the night..awaken to the voice of the weather forecaster’s prediction of “Lots of sunshine; everything remains calm”. Calm I say? Calm? How can everything be calm?
Only a day before terror skirted the environs of the happiest place on earth…Orlando. A place now scarred by the insane. A place now recorded as the deadliest nightmare in U.S. History.
Tis sad. Questions reign. How? What? Why?
Mourn we must. But then after, we must take courage and turn our questions into acts of Valor. Acts of strength to survive. Acts of boldness, togetherness. Only then will we be able to dispel fear. Together we move forward. Together we rebuild.

The Scene…The Silence
Sitting, observing nature’s sound at play. The outdoors quiet, peaceful, calm
Kids playing
Nature responding
The canal flowing..slowly moving gently in the wind
Light breeze
Trees swaying
Dark clouds…Will it rain?
Squirrels climbing trees
Lizards missing
Dog running
All seems happy. Curious . Excited.

Blank Stare of Memories
Some days I just sit quietly and reflect. Life evolves, but the more I stare blankly into the distance, I become certain that the more things change, the more they remain the same. So the conclusion is to do what we can to help another person survive, thrive and succeed life’s evolving chain. To bask in the memories of those who sacrificed for us and more.
While so engaged, let the words of Dionne Warwick’s song ring….
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for…
Keep smiling.One Love
