A Beautiful Dream

~

A beautiful dream like laughter in summer
A ripple of water over stones
A moment of silence before the song starts
A voyage home

A forest caught in the late rainstorm
A shiver from the open window
A cobweb of rainbows in the sunlight
A moment alone

And where the skies and waters meet
Pour my eyes to sleep
I'll wait and see

I'll wait and see a beautiful dream

happiness

~

a smile is a light from the heart to illuminate the world with



~

love

~

the heart is a vaulted cathedral where angels sing


~

horizons

~


We shape our own horizons


~

Peace is...

~

Peace is a hope you can fill your heart with
So there's no room for violence, hate and anger

Peace is a feeling you can share with everyone
All it takes is a happy, loving and honest attitude

Peace is a gift I would love to give to you
But I will need your help to build a world
Where we can celebrate peace every day
Until then

Peace is a smile you can wear for me
On World Peace Day

danse macabre

~

No matter how bright the light shines
We'll never escape the danse macabre

~

Constant

~

Finding a rhythm
Through the changing seasons
A wider view from within
Beyond here and now
But still a part of it

The tide flows out and returns
Leaves fall, blossom to fruit
All is change
Yet remains constant


~

this journey

~

Over the years - this journey
I have walked these steps
Taken to find a place inside

The quiet spaces
The loud ringing sounds -
Thoughts and words

All and nothing

~

River/Ocean

~

River/Ocean
Start/Finish
Life/Death

~

The flow of the water is always to the sea, whether over rapids or through slow pools, the journey is the life of the river and the ocean is where the river becomes one with all rivers, regardless of where they started or what they became.

balance, growth, hope, love

Balance:~
Harmony in our natural and manmade environments and in our relationships with each other.

Growth:~
Internal (spirtual) and external (hobbies, work, family) growth and progression. An open mind is the door to the future.

Hope:~
A positive mental attitude. The belief that change can come from within us and that we can be involved in our envornment and society.

Love:~
A love of life (joie de vivre). If we cannot love our life, we are living it the wrong the way.

Spring

Each year
A renewal
Each flower
A confirmation
Of life now

What we learn from
What we nurture and grow
What stand we take
These three things define us
And shape our world
