Joy

There is nothing I can give you which you have not,

but there is much that while I cannot give you,

you can take:

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today.

Take Heaven.

No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.

Take Peace.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow.,

behind it, yet within reach, is joy.

Take joy.

It is easy to be pleasant

When life flows by like a song,

But the man worth while is one who will smile,

When everything goes dead wrong.

For the test of the heart is trouble,

And it always comes with the years,

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth

Is the smile that shines through the tears.

Happiness is possible only when one is busy. The body must toil,

the mind must be occupied, and the heart must be satisfied.

Those who do good as opportunity offers are sowing seed all the time,

and they need not doubt the harvest.

I have noticed that folks are generally about as happy as they have made up their minds to be.

@,~>

If you want to be happy,

Begin where you are,

Don't wait for some rapture

That's future and far.

Begin to be joyous, begin to be glad

And soon you'll forget

That you ever were sad.

A smile is cheer to you and me.

The cost is nothing - it's given free.

It comforts the weary - gladdens the sad.

Consoles those in trouble - good or bad.

To rich and poor - beggar or thief.

It's free to all of any belief.

A natural gesture of young and old.

Cheers on the faint - disarms the bold.

Unlike most blessings for which we pray.

It's one thing we keep when we give it away.

Love

To love is virtually to know., to know is not virtually to love.


~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~


To love life through labor is to be intimate with life's inmost secrets.


Let us be the first to give a friendly sign, to nod first, smile first, speak first, and - if such a thing is necessary, forgive first.


For we must share if we would keep., That blessing from above., Ceasing to give, we cease to have, Such is the law of love.









Measure your life by loss instead of gain., not by the wine drunk, but in the wine poured forth, for love's sacrifice., and who suffers most has most to give.



Return to him who does you wrong your purest love, and he will cease from doing wrong., for love will purify the heart of him who is beloved as truly as it purifies the heart of him who loves.


It is in loving, not in being loved, the heart is blessed., It is in giving, not in seeking gifts, we find our quest., Whatever be your longing or your need, that give., So shall your soul be fed, and you indeed shall live.







~ * ~

Love is the passionate and abiding desire on the part of two or more people to produce together conditions under which each can be, and spontaneously express, his real self., to produce together an intellectual soil and an emotional climate in which each can flourish, far superior to what either could achieve alone.


Come what may, hold fast to love! Though men should rend your heart, let them not embitter or harden it. We win by tenderness., we conquer by forgiveness.


~ * ~
I've found a little remedy
To ease the life we live
And make each day a happier one -
It is the word 'forgive'.

So often little things come up
That leave a pain and sting,
That covered up at once would not
Amount to anything.

'Tis when we hold them up to view,
And brood and sulk and fret,
They greater grow before our eyes.,
'Twere better to forget.

Politeness is a small price to pay for the good will and affection of others.

He drew a circle that shut me out,
But love and I had the wit to win.,
We drew a large circle that took him in.

~

'Twas her thinking of others made you think of her.

pay aware or not

My music goes with you for cure of humanity's wrong.

To invert the affront when you fail to sing my song.

The script codes on the surface are in line with time.

The spirals twist and unfold to form a line.

Take a walk in these fields where all things form.

Seek the root of the atoms which stray the norm.

Levels of esters in growth as enzymes catalyze.

Amino acids build the molecules for protein we synthesize.

Learn from the message inlaid, how to genetically realign.

Growth of the plant and man are intertwined.

Primal DNA is gift of Mother Earth no man claimed.

All memory of time in soil or script in stone are here engrained.

Man's sight to enable the brain's circuitry recognitions.

A stimulus for our thoughts cognitive revelations.

Messages on Earth's canvas guide us in time of need.

Historical repetition of linguistics mankind must heed.

Renditions by an unknown artist paint a lost memory now past.

A forgotten language in the shadows time has outcast.

Earth's mass must reciprocate unto Light's energy demand.

The black of night absorbs in silence the need of reprimand.

Empty spaces hold, contained rest energies.

Where diffractions of the Light bends for gravity to appease.

Perfusing now these long forgotten links to thought in time.

Awakens simplicity to complex reason without rhyme.

Take a ninety degree angle, lay it on a line and a convex curved.

The geometric design signifies what the Egyptian long ago learned.

To heal the Earth is to free the Mind.

Absorb the Sun, to reach height of our climb.

Evolutionary leaders sing a song of mutant codes.

Evolution without time is song only time's past knows.

The Earth sings the song whose harmonic is for the Cosmic race.

Therein is so defined, the music humanity's imprint could not erase.

Path of Inner Peace


By feeling satisfied with what I have,
I feel no envy.
By giving freely to thouse who will take,
I feel no anger.
By understanding the fears of others,
I feel no hate.
By accepting the diverseness of others,
I feel no judgment.
By recognizing the specialness of all,
I feel no self importance.
By sensing the wonders of Mother Earth,
I feel humble.
By knowing all that I can do,
I feel humility.
By these feelings,
I walk the Path of Peace.

~ Mississquoi Nation (Virginia)

Thy Divine

The fountains mingle with the River
And the Rivers with the Ocean
The winds of the Heavens mix forever
With a sweet emotion

Nothing in the world is single
All things by law divine
In one another's being mingle
Why not I with Thine

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And waves clasp one another
No flower would be forgiven
If its disdained to set assunder

And Sunlight clasps the Earth
And the Moonbeams kiss the Sea
What are all these kissings worth
If Thou kiss not me

Breath

Always will I bask in your Sun of Suns
As your rays of purity breaks through my clouds
Never will rain find its way into my world
As long as you are there to push away
The storms that try to cease my Soul
Speechless, am I not...
For your words become mine
What molds that heart into something pure
I am so much more inside your arms
Although, when it cannot be...
I also cannot seem to have enough of you
I take in every breath of you
As if I will never take a breath again
The sweetness of your taste
The softeness of your golden skin
Takes me to a realm of supreme ecstasy

Take My Hand

Take my hand in your hand
take upon my only heart
Bind me close to you
under the Moonlit sky

Dance with me near
where your heart beats
Sweep the skies with beauty
from end to end

The clouds hidden stars thrill in secret
sparks ignite
Filling the hot Summer air
let me fill the fullness of your heart

I praise your returning glance
the infinite skies motionless
With the thought of a touch
I am filled with awe

Take my hand in your hand
be with you in you with me
To you within, from within
no struggle crossed the Sea of desire
As you sink deep into my Soul
