Finishing
“When you think you have given it all, when you don’t even have the strength to stand tall, think of it as just the beginning, of the pain you will endure until finishing.”

Break, that sky,

Stratofortress
Stratofortress
Please be patient.
I am an aged relic, a distant memory.
A witness to cycles of defeat and glory
Through unfriendly skies,
I rise again
for one more roll in the distant horizon.

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons.

Boeing B52 D Stratofortress
The B-52 is considered the longest servicing front-line military aircraft in aviation history. With air-to-air refueling, B52s are truly a global aircraft and have flown nonstop around the world, some 24000 miles. B-52 bombers were considered the weapon the enemy feared most in the Vietnam War. B-52Ds would fly too high to be seen or heard, dropping over one hundred 500lbs bombs each.
The BUFFs (Big Ugly Fat Fellows) have survived wars, modernization and remained in the active Air Force Inventory for almost 50 years.

I see the many colors of the ocean
The surf breaking on the shore
and cries of sea gulls.
oh, so, gently take me into dreamland.

Writing on the Wall
You can clean away the graffiti
place cameras on the wall
but one thing that you can’t destroy
is my dreaming soul.

Under the Lilac tree
Under the lilac tree
A purple sunset inspire the soul
to release the past
embrace new ideas
new relationships,
new perspectives.
Sweet flowers alone bring
visions of future
Resilience,
Richness and
plain perfect beauty of life.
It wasn’t so long ago
the cherished thoughts become the loveliest bouquets
Under the lilac tree.

Your Light
Your light has illuminated darkened paths,
your gaze has lifted broken spirits,
and already your life has changed the course of history.
This is the time of year we celebrate.
Here’s to a year full of Happy Days !

The smaller things
Focus on the details of the world around
as it expand into a never-ending stream of delight
Notice the petals of a flower
The fine points of a building or
the play of light and shadow on an object.
Breathe …
See things as they are
Welcome inspiration and
Remain in this state of pure awareness
You will learn Clarity.

The fire that goes down at sunset
The fire that goes down at sunset
takes a part of your life.
Everything that you have in this moment
is just enough.
When thoughts veer toward colorless darkness
Know in your heart
Soft orange,
Bluish red skies
Pink clouds …
Say
“I have everything I need at this moment …
My world is full of abundance.”

The Sun Life’s Nourishment
The Sun
Life’s Nourishment
Learn from our sun
It is light.
Look at the beauty in the world.
It is a creative force of great strength,
courage and hope.
At the start of day,
Close your eyes,
Bask in its light,
Imagine your soul ascending alongside it.
Without the sun’s golden light,
the spirit suffers.
When we take time to bask in the sun our spirit soars.
radiant in its Blessings.
