Pools of reflection~~~~

My brother Wayne in his island paradise...

You will never experience the earth with all it's wonders in this time again.

Don't wait for one last look at

the ocean,

the sky,

the stars,

or a loved one.

Go look now.

 

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler

 

 

 

Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.

 

Walt Whitman

Your own song is within you...

start composing TODAY.

 

Rhonda

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each man's genius contracts itself to a very few hours.

There is a river

called HOPE which flows through the valley of the forgotten....

 

Micah, my son

Another thing I've always known...

 

My big brother Wayne could make a living giving "COOL" lessons.

 

Rhonda~

 

Sometimes I wonder why I am so happy and then I remember...

Every morning I ask myself

 

"May I have this dance"?

 

 

Rhonda

I love the way the hand's shadow falls upon the harp, like the haunting of music from a moment of nostalgia...
Moorlerche said at 2:37 p.m. on Jun 7, 2009:
...and in moment of anger, frustration or boredom remember to shut the door from the outside, and go for a little walk. Appreciate the sunbeam that cherishes the daisy, enjoy the rain in your face that refreshens your skin, listen to the wind that rushes through the leaves, take a couple of minutes, half an hour, an hour to breath life. Suddenly the world looks brighter.
Eduardo.affonso said at 6:58 p.m. on Jun 9, 2009:
A phylosopher (Nietzsche, I presume) said "I can't conveive the idea a God who can't dance". Maybe that's why dancing makes you so happy.
Welshchick said at 1:06 p.m. on Jun 10, 2009:
Oh Thank you dear YC~~ you always "get" me~ ;^) Thank you Anke for the golden soothing words that should be taught to every child and every adult on the earth! Yes, Edu- you are so right...the Lord of the Dance fits my vision of God~DANCING: it's an inborn yearning that sometimes can be smothered by rules and regulations but... freedom shows the way back to the child! :^)
