I wonder from all the seasons,
which one is me?

How do nature's elements
define my identity?

When clouds reflect judgement,
it does not matter what they think,
I do not reflect what they see.

I've seen petals blossom through concrete,
felt the turbulent tears of Everest's crumbling peaks

and I know 

I'm no...

For years before the narrow windows of my senses

Stop being so downcast!
Stop feeling so blue!
And please, stop caring about how many here like you!
On this planet we have but a short time here.
Don't you understand this basic truth?
There is nothing to fear!

If only for today...
Would you believe?
Not in a deity
Not in someone else
Not in some grand idea
But in yourself
We put faith in what is around us
But little of it finds a home
Within the depths of our soul
But there is one reality
Nothing is realer than you
Nobody ever...

It's easier to focus on what's gone wrong,
Than it is to see what's gone right.
But in every life there's accomplishments,
Like wisdom, gained goals and touched lives.

Celebrate all the things that you've done,
And all the things you plan to do.
Remember that from an acorn seed,
The mighty...

If there should be a pot hole as deep as Satan’s pit
appearing as I’m driving, I’d run right over it!

My husband’s luck is worse than mine, but we’re a package deal.
So every bad thing that befalls him, I can also feel!

One day I lost my...

I invite you to go wild;
laugh until your sides near burst.
And play like you were a child,
letting raindrops quench your thirst.

Start a fire with scraps of wood;
or sculpt castles made of sand.
Pick some berries that taste good;
or stroll through the nearby land.

Splash in the creek...

Go now, rest your weary heart.
Against the soft moonlit night.

Walk into the valley of peace and tranquility.
Loosen those chains that bind your soul.

Let them fall to the ground, never look back.  
Let the veil of time lift you up.

As the last breath of life...

Please love yourself,
My daughter wrote
As we chatted away
About my upcoming trip
And yet my tears spilled over
As I bared my heart
To my 19 year old daughter
The joy of my life
The light of my eyes
The reason…..
The reason I go on with life
It’s for her
I try to survive
And...

BE YOURSELF 


Be yourself 
Avoid comparison ,
Be Satisfied ,
Remember the deprived .

Be yourself 
Look at the handicapped ,
Are you not blessed ?
Count your blessings !!!


Be yourself 
Don’t be someone else.
Your opinion of you-
counts  more.


Be yourself 
Ignore others judgement,
Who you are-
That matters.


Be yourself 
Your life...

           you move towering mountains like faith,
                 and you run from pillar to post

The future holds no premium
For a person brawling with their past.
There are no birds in last year's nest.
There are no rememberings to unmask.

Memories are the fruits of our existence
Where some bloom and some may die
When exposed to an aura of understanding
Life's lessons shall provide.

'Tis Human...

Every living thing.. Every breathing one..
Changes in life even for once…Some for good and some for bad..
Some where someone will always change..
Are you feeling betrayed and neglected... Did the one you dearly loved changed..?
Are you feeling all down and lonely…?When you knew the love for...

be 
gentle 
with yourself 
like fragile glass. 
you're only human,
imperfectly perfect,
we're all a little broken.
it's no use dwelling in the past; 
abandon regrets and mistakes there. 
whenever you fall down, you'll rise back up.
no matter how i n f i n i t e s...
