Category: Grateful Moments
I call them time flash, in a blink of an eye, it’s gone. But like special pebbles, you store it in your treasure box.
Invincible Summer
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
Albert Camus
For Gin, who taught me the Blessings of life.
Everyday is a Good Day
Everyday is a good day
each moment a blessing,
each breath a prayer of thanksgiving
Just as the sun lay to rest
with Grace,
Strength,
Courage and
Love
In my heart, with you
everyday is the best day.
As the day ends the skyline of Boston was a glorious perfection. Its magic light suspended the burning sun who’s going to leave.
Together they traveled many miles and like floating clouds will drift apart. There will be no tears for no one is gone. The days will be silent not forgotten for as long as each sacred moonlight glow. Only happy times linger just as the sun rises.
The memory of that day with Gin & John will forever be with me. That day was a good day !
For Gin

Gratitude
GRATITUDE doesn’t change the scenery
It merely washes the glass you
look through so you can clearly see the colors. R E Goodrich
A Blessed Thanksgiving !
One Spirit Soul
Red Rock Canyon, Nevada
ONE SPIRIT SOUL
One spirit soul for the sacred pride,
One spirit soul for the tender times,
One spirit soul I do believe
Grace flowing in symmetry force
In you, I live… I breathe…
Evermore.

Finding Gifts in All
Finding gifts in All
Tonight, remember the best gifts
you don’t recognize right away.
Blessings come in the face of adversity.
Count
Patience
Wisdom and
Fortitude
alongside the other gifts of the day.

Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow bridge
The twists and turns in your path
lead to unexpected destinations.
Both long and short roads
are sometimes curved
and sometimes straight.
As you cross a bridge
remain flexible and continue the journey.
Enjoy and learn from the adventure
as you walk the Rainbow bridge.

Remembering
The Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us
who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
Often we do not observe the day as it should be,
a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members,
our loved ones, our neighbors, and our friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
The GIFT
A beautiful offering
Like wrapping paper and ribbons
Honor lie inside it
Don’t hold back with the process
Let them go in the awareness that
They were never ours.
The gift
The offering
The giving away
Make up the joyful experience
Of giving offerings to the world.

The Old Mission Road
The Old Mission Road
By the shade of a sad willow tree
the road lead to old land.
The markings of hardships remained
and echoed the joy of triumphs.
As the padre walked the streets of kindness
the church blesses the road.
His silent footsteps reaching out
to touch the ways of the old.

More “Window” thoughts/shots Here
Sunrise – You never know what obscurity is
You never know what obscurity is
till lightness is covered in rouge.
At first light, cries of indistinct sound sidled
the world of darkness with infinite grace.
It will never be the same.
It will always be absolute.

Spirit of Rose
From within you there is a single rose.
Reach out past the torn of your faults.
You will see the Spirit of Rose bloom that is You.

Dearest child of mine
Dearest child of mine
I have this little angel who left her wings to be with me.
Her smiles brighten my days.
Tiny hand in mine, I saw rainbows through the rain
It is the soft voice of sacred trust.
Of all the sweet little things she shared
It’s her childish scribbles on the ground,
I ♥ Mom ~ Dad,
So precious, I am moved.
Dearest child of mine
You are my little angel who left her wings to be with me.

You are special
You are special
I want you to know.
Your smiling face
forever in my heart.
You embraced and defied all odds.
Against the unrelenting heat of the rising sun,
a pattern of melting blues rest behind your steps.
Amazingly, you’ve turned this test into an art.
And soar above the clouds of eternal spring.
Reflecting on the tranquil beauty of your courage.
Let me say, You are not alone.
Take my hand and together we will
run through the hail of storms.
For my sis
