Awe and Wonder

When I think about life
I am filled with awe and wonder.
Our human bodies are so
complex and so well designed.
The thought of how all of that
has come together is a true
wonder. 

Often I stand up my hands
reaching toward the sky  
to touch the Spirit of my
creator and humbly give 
thanks and praise. Each of
us is so unique in O so 
many ways. We are unique
and unrepeatable miracles.

Yes, as for me, I am in awe
and wonder of the miracle
of life. Each day is such a 
very special gift.

Mirror Image

When we look in the mirror 
what do we see, who we were
who were are, or who we 
are becoming? Does our mirror
reflect what's in our hearts and
who we really are?

Do we see an image of ourselves
through other people and how they
treat us, what they say to us, and from
their point of view. Do we accept their
images of us because we want to
please them and be accepted?

We all need a positive mirror image
of ourselves. That allows us to 
accept who we really are and get
a glimpse of who we are becoming.
So see all of the good about you
when you look in your mirror.

Painting Folk Art

With Granddaughters

Young artists may be two years old
or four years old. The ages of my 
granddaughters. We love to paint
together. My oldest granddaughter
saw the guy in the middle of this
picture that I was painting and she
painted her vision of him, which I
may share later.

This painting represents our joy in
sharing our imaginations with each
other and having a lot of fun painting.
But I think that gradually my granddaughters
are learning how to paint and their 
confidence is growing each time.
Lots of encouragement is given to them
and bright and wonderful smiles are
returned to me. The stuff of golden 
memories, painting folk art with       
my granddaughters 2 and 4.

Gentler Times

There were gentler days when 
we weren't always in such a hurry.
A gas station was not just a place
to buy gas. We also gathered there
and talked about what was happening
in our lives. Perhaps it is time for us
to get to know each other; know all 
of our neighbors and spend time
together at familiar places like gas
stations.

It's not about knowing a few people.
It's all about bonding with the 
people in our community. That 
means that we are no longer strangers
that we know each others names,
we discover who each of us is and
what they are becoming. I am not
sure how or when this will start. but
it is a dream that lives in my heart.

All So Beautiful

I want you all to know that you are
O so beautiful. No matter what anyone
says or does you are truly beautiful.
Beauty so wonderful that it can't be
seen with eyes. A beauty seen with
each heart and O so delightful.
Yes, YOU, you are beautiful and if
someone can't see that then he or
she is blind or has no heart at all.
The ugly truth is that some are so
blind that he or she can't see the beauty
in others. Yet all that they need
to do is to open their hearts and 
see the auhthentic and true beauty,
O YES, I want each of you to know
that you are O so beautiful.
