Mega Hertz Man

He is a computer man

wherever he goes.

His laptop computer

is always with him

though he uses his computer tower

when he gets home

because its so much faster

than his laptop.

He takes his laptop everywhere

he even takes it to the bar

and even there he's on his computer.

You see he connects with everyone 

electronically and never in person

maybe that's because he's a shy man. 

Like his computers

he continues to work faster and faster

because like his computer processor

he strives to be working 

at the fastest speed possible

no time to relax and slow down.

He's a mega hertz computer man

and he processes O so much data

and he keeps storing it so he can use it.

Well that's his life and he enjoys it

because it has become his form or reality

he likes his Internet world and that's all.

We are one in our humaness

We are one and good friends.

The true feast is full of joy

as we celebrate our friendship

Knowing each other

is a priceless gift.

Many blessings

as we share Thanksgiving

Thank you friends

for being you.

        

Is Hell Real?

Evil and good are two very real powers.

We can't control either of them, but 

they can control us.

Some ask if free will is actually 

choosing good or evil.

Once we choose one of them

we are under their power

and what we are is what we choose.

What we choose has control

over us.

The Greek philosopher Plato

wondered how evil

could come into this world.

How could their be evil

if good created the world?

Why do we begin life

as innocents and later fall?

Isn't evil a cancer

that devours us?

Some say that each of us

creates his or her own

personal hell.

It is very hard to accept

that there is an awful place

of eternal torture and pain.

But if we choose evil

why is it hard to believe

that we will reap what we sow

and then die and go to hell..

When the evil that we chose   

has almost completely devoured us

do we see what our choice has done

to us and the obvious consequences?

We can't really love anymore

because whether or we know it

we are the servants of evil

and evil rejects true love

sees love as an abomination.   

But there is one other thing.

We can choose the good

and no longer choose evil.

Only then will we be truly free

and be able to love 

with the love that's real.

Only then will we begin to heal

and eventually get well.

So it is plain to see.

We become what we

believe

and we have that choice.

So choose wisely.    

    

    

 

Getting Through

The Holiday Season

Some people never believed in Santa Claus.

There were busy dealing with pain and heartbreak.

As for me, I have compassion for all of them.

Many people are filled with holiday blues.

They have memories from the past that arrive

and fill them with anger, pain, and sadness.

Loved ones have died, and others have hurt them.

The question is, "Will they let go and forgive>"

The question is, "Will they allow anger to dwell

in side of them and give them a negative attitude?"

The question is, "Will they let all of that anger

well up and boil inside of them?"

The answer is, "We don't have to live in the past."

The answer is, "We can let go of bad memories."

The answer is, "We can draw on our inner strength."

The answer is, "We can be free of anger and misery."

         

   

  

Wisdom

Those who seek wisdom

will not find it

until they empty themselves

of all the stuff inside of them.

Then they must sit quietly 

and patiently in silence.

Only then will wisdom come,

and they will be filled with peace.   

   

 

Big Bird

Some friends are very colorful.

Other friends seem plain in comparison.

But we should like both of them.

It is plain for us to see

that each of them is truly beautiful,

each is a treasure in his or her own way.     

The Gentle Giant

The gentle giant seemed to scare a lot of people.

He would never hurt anyone; he was O so gentle.

But everyone liked to watch him play football.

When he was on the grid iron

he made most of the touchdowns.

He was the star on the team and on the field

he had to be violent to win the games for them.

One day on the field an accident happened

and someone on the other team was hurt bad.

It wasn't intentional; it was what happens in the game.

But the gentle giant decided not to to play the game anymore.   

You see he was a true star in another way,

he cared about people and wanted to be gentle.
