Desire,Is Lifes Magic Potion

The flaming fire of desire, has consumed
me most of my revolutionary life.
And beyond, far, far beyond the 
confines of being just a Mother and 
dutiful wife.

It drove me out of Chicago on a
mad hunt, for a beautiful city to
do more than just exist in.
Somewhere, where I could contribute
to life and see a massive win!
 
I found that magical place, where 
this became so wonderfully true!
A transformative place, wherein 
integrity and telling truth was most 
a pleasure-filled requisite to do.
I participated in both guest seminar 
leader and trainer-to-be programs,too.

My life took a shift at that point 
in time.
It was both demanding and spectacular.
Yet in a way, most gentle and kind.

I started living beyond friends and family.
Halted blaming world history for the way 
things, "be!".

Waking people to get their hands on the 
steering wheel of this,present life.
Developing programs to rid the world of 
strife.

Never using illness as a way to manipulate 
people.
My soul shines as bright as one on any sunny 
church steeple!

San Francisco will always be very spiritual 
to me.
It's the shiny, satiny ribbon on my life, based in
this century, in truth and integrity.

Poetry, for me, is but a minuscule beginning!
Humanity over government and confetti fears?
I would call that a most blessed winning!

Walking on the edge of the eternal, indeed!
To do so with alacrity, joy and speed!

Tom, each day is magical even tho I grumble art times. I ADMIRE YOUR CONSTANT centered ness and peace, goodness and friendship. I have yet to pen more goodness I have experienced. People better wake up and grab that steering wheel.Ever drive using your mirror for steering wheel? NO!From what I see, most are driving with hands on the mirror.and worse, believing leaders with deadly directions! We better change things, fast! Your friend, Pangie xx
