the lonely tear

53b3037e89f46a09108070fcbaccc56e

the rain fell, I could hear it beating relentlessly on the window pane

I knew eventually it would end, just like I knew that tomorrow

would be another day,  whether the sun shone, or it didn’t

the pain inside, would still be the same

8bf23507538bc3655ab0431529e65183

when we open our hearts to love without restriction, only unconditional love

we agree to the live the roller coaster of emotion that will eventually

wash over us. as we are betrayed by the one lonely tear

that single tear that escapes to leave a trail of scaring from the past

reminding us … that… like the love songs on the radio

to know love is to know sadness and sorrow

216c6caff6949fb03250ac9990371645

no, not for love lost, but for a love so strong that it embraces the hurt and disappointments

of another, and cries in frustration at not being able to erase the other’s pain

to love  with untethered , unbridled passion, so intense, so powerful

that the one single tear,holds the commitment of all eternity

a love pure. strong and so divine, that no name or word can describe

the wonder of that single tear

7380ae85341f0780d0857903e4efa13d

one can’t know love without knowing the agony of a bruised and broken heart

to open up to a love so sublime that the single tear  is a subliminal message

to the brain and heart, that at this moment, at this time, you are in a state

of now and forever… the lonely tear is a testament to all that has gone before

and the proof a human heart beats in time to the

rhythm of life’s ongoing energy

of love in the now

forever and always

This song played over and over in my head…I felt I had to express how it affected me,,

me?

China Dream Wow… what a start to the day

you have no idea how simply amazing

it has been, to wake to so many birthday greetings

friends from far and wide, saying Happy Birthday!

You simply will not let me forget =^_^=

but then how could I, nor would I want to

you know why, cause each and every one of you

have touched my heart in so many ways.

remember when Q was making her Tiny clothes

I was a sweetie wasn’t I, we had so much fun

and all the waffles we ate, and the dancing! too much

yes, many of you have traveled the years with me

big or small, you all have the biggest hearts

and I am truly blessed to have lived

laughed and loved amongst you all

Sept.17 may be my day of birth,

but to celebrate my life without you, it just wouldn’t be

as special and happy… as you dear friends, make everyday

a celebration, 

with your sharing, caring, and special ways

of staying in touch, and living the chant of

‘WE ARE ONE!

which one is you – which one is me

Love YOU all

each and every one of you..

Inspiration

To come across this colourful vignette

on the forest floor

mushrooms

the magical world was suddenly at my door

I could smell the moss and ferns,

the chirping of a bird  music in my ears

I felt the inspiration swell into full bloom

and I knew I would sit and write to you

frigm red eyes

oh!  a visitor, leaped across the forest floor

he/she has come to say hello

is this prince/princess charming in disguise

if I close my eyes. 

I will know and feel the love he/she brings

Nature is,  the Divine

the fabric and energy that keeps us

ONE

Sometimes

what we see

is not what is

happening.

Kittens are cute.  If you  have ever been owned by one, you know just how captivating they can be.  You also know they can have a mind of  their own.  Their personalities are so different, not one is the same as another.  And when a cat/kitten wants something.. they know how to  find it.      *Siamese and Russian blues,can be sooooooooo “royal” ..if you have ever had one in your family, I need not explain..”

422724ce6a538e8cfc669347429ff0a8

True, life is never as simple as we would like at times

but everything in life is attainable, when we believe

and when we care and trust in our “inner voice” …

realizing that we, each and everyone one of us

deserves peace of mind, a happiness within

is the first step in true happiness…

the look on this great Dane’s face, says it all.. “like what is 

happening here, where is a human when you want one?”

72ecbb48d39030ab1f51327c4f1eba86

This my friends is a mistake (depending on whether you are the human or the cat)  once the cat knows that the chocolate thing in your hand will be vanilla ice cream once you start eating it… if the cat is around, you will always have to share.

ba1ad29494c9b68db26744e9b373f547

Ok some cats share better than others…….. but just maybe we got you to smile…..     and that what this is all about….

Ok now take your pick on the

ending… =^_^=

love a duck

Duck puppet 1

I took my duck puppet to church today… I wanted to talk about LOVE, and “ducky” is a good  ice breaker… kids and adults alike smile and chuckle as soon as “ducky” makes an appearance. Why the prop, well, love although a small four letter word, really packs a punch, and to everyone, it means something different.

Children have no problem saying the love you, or showing they love you, but … for many reasons, adults have a more difficult time with the word.  AND if you have a problem with the word,  how do you manage the emotion that goes along with that word.

When you love someone, you are saying, I care, you mean something to me.  Loving someone is including them in your life, in your heart, in your space.  it isn’t a restriction, it is am embrace.

Love is the freedom to be………………. love is knowing that happiness or sadness is all part of the embrace ……………………. love is being able to share your vulnerable moments and know you are safe …………………… love is knowing when you fall, or make a mistake, it is just a moment in time,  that true love is forever, always and everlasting.

Friendships are built on trust

Love is the thread that binds us all

it may be small, however

the word, is one that has the power to  forestall

the negatives in this world, to erase
fear,greed,wars and strife

so that, we all live with love in our life

yes… ducky went to church and made everyone smile today!

LOVE to each and every one of you.

First sign of fall slipping into the area, and the sign of imperfection on  sun filled days,  as cataracts take form, or aging eyes begin to see less clearly.  Give thanks each day for the blessings you have had, still have and will have if you live with love in your heart, and faith at its core.

All too soon the years fade away, and friends we haven’t seen in a long time,  have found their way to  another place in time.It doesnt matter the age, it seems that today, the world around us has changed, unfortunately in some areas,it is not for the better.

The major key to understanding and acting harmoniously lies in living a life centered in makoto (sincerity)  Sincerity of mind,body and soul.  Actions can speak louder than words. It is not in what we say, but what we do, and how we do it.  Silence can speak volumes to the one who listens.

invisible

new 50's club_005    new 50's club_002

Seems we missed a great time in history., I meet many interesting people in my day to day, many seniors, white hair, gray some stooped, some very active who have kept the same colour for years..so are still brunettes, blondeds, etc… there eyes light up and sparkle when they speak of “the days when”  Some of you, may or may not venture into the many virtual worlds that are now popping up all over, you can access them through FaceBook, either read about them or see pictures friends have posted.

Casablanca 9.9.15_007    Casablanca 9.9.15_009

Last night I had the opportunity of visiting a virtual club where a very good friend entertains on Wednesday evening with recorded music.  She grew up with the big band sounds, and she was playing them last night, what a turn out the club had. DJ Yume as she is called in the virtual world,  in the physical world is a modern-day diva, she works, lives and is active in her community, but volunteers some nights to entertain the virtual community.  For two hours she plays non stop tunes of the various eras she has programmed for the evening’s    entertainment. The guests all come dressed in costume to enjoy the party.

Who are these guests, having now spent many many years on virtual platforms, I know many are shut ins, or care givers, people who for one reason or another cannot get out to “kick up their heels”.. they are stay at home moms/dads, young men and woman who due to circumstances find themselves tied to the house, their contact and way of meeting others who share their need for social interaction.  People like DJ Yume, Tango and Peggy the owners of the club, they work very hard to provide the space, and the talent, so that others can enjoy.

Where in the physical world, they can feel invisible… on the virtual platform, they can be anyone they want to be.  Keep in mind that the number 1 rule in virtual worlds… is that kindness is key.. behind every avatar, there is a human being sitting at a computer.  We gather, we play, we chat and have fun… yes.. genuine heart-felt laughter.. there are no distractions, we talk across the miles… we are not invisible.

slow down

Lady in red, is Kyra Wyldfire and the builder of the new 50’s club you see in the first pictures.  She also owns and operates her own  blues club on the InworldZ platform (Rocking the Blues).  It sits on a beautiful sim, of bayou country   Kyra built the 50’s club on the Canadian grid, The Great Canadian Grid.    A very talented woman, a survivor, she manages her day-to-day life, her family and still makes time to come in to share with friends who love and care for her on the virtual platforms.

We are no invisible, we are real.

Spread your wings today… smile… show someone you care…

road blocked, road closed

road blocked

road blocked lava,hawaii

Stop… the road is closed

hmmm yes so it appears to be…

Wow, what a sight, nature’s work of art

the results of a volcanic eruption

the passion of the Universe unleashed

in a river of hot molten lava, the spectacular

spewing forth of the internal heat and combustion

that could no longer be contained

the fire’s lust for expression

and the results of its ardour

is this also what our pent-up emotions

would look like if we were to see

them expressed in physical form

lava flowing

heartburn, heart-break,  ulcers and indigestion

oh the pain, the discomfort when we block our true feelings

when we ignore or try to push away what is really happening

in our minds, our hearts and our reality

Hawaii, Kona

we can’t relive the past, nor can we live tomorrow, today

yes, we can come across a detour, an impasse

but, if we stop to take it all in   ..     there is always a way

Hawaii, mountain, valleys

another mountain to climb, another valley to explore

roads are man-made, when one is closed

take yourself in another direction, enjoy every new discovery

the paths we cut/make are our own

hawaii a wandering memory

Sometimes I am at a loss

Sometimes I am at a loss

the words will not come forward     9e419a34c708b9f212d55495df1ead08

to be released, spoken and heard

Instead, I feel the emotion

start in my head, and work its way down

to the soles of my feet..

They say the eyes can often

be the window to one’s soul

Yet, I know when I am not angry

the sparks that glitter from my eyes

are not a reflection

of what I feel inside

NO, of course I’m not hiding

it is only that what I feel

and what I want to say

get lost inside my head

I feel the pull, I feel the need

but to feel is not to comprehend

there are times when what is said

is not what is really in my head

Like i say, sometimes, I’m simply at a loss…

has my ability to speak died, am I dead

of course not.. it is merely that at times

it is not what is said, but rather, the actions

of the moment, like when you fall out of bed

8e30fda3daff00573e6d80afe596d4f2

when the world says wake up…

and you still want to lie in bed

sometimes that can’t be done

it just happens that way

one minute you are alone

and the next…. someone else

has stepped into your head

and now

the words that come unbidden

to the conscious mind

leave you at a loss.
