So today I am wondering: what's up with this world? Innocent families going to the movies for a night out to watch a new movie are victims of a young man, with so much promise for a future, decides to use his crazy antics to kill and maim so many others. I can't seem to put my mind around the WHY's of such an act of violence.
I'm sure he knew WHY he was doing this...but it had nothing to do with the reality of the world I live in.
This brings much sadness to my heart and I'm sure to many others too!
So for all the people touched by the awful event, I say a prayer that they not lose their FAITH in the human kingdom; this too shall pass. I want to erase this event from my consciousness but that would be just as bad. We can not run away from the world...as it is...but with the GRACE of God we can move forward and try to make some sense out of this event, and use the knowledge from this event to see that it doesn't happen again!
Something went very wrong ... and someone... somewhere should have picked up on this man's actions...long before this event happened.
We need to make friends...and notice...if they are suffering in silence about something. Perhaps some kindness could have changed the awful events from happening. I don't know, but I do know that IF someone asks for help; they should be directed to a area where they can receive it.
May this blog be a place where people come to post their thoughts, ask interesting questions, or just to say hello. As I read various books, I will post a book review for your information. I will share places that I have visited and people I have met. Thank you for joining me.

A RENEWAL OF YOUR LIFE PATH~
There are times in your life where things are seemingly slowing down and you just can't see the changes that are happening to you. You go along living like you have always done; and then something happens. Like a crack in the pattern of your life. You may not even notice it but the change has happened.
You decide to take a different road, try a different store, go to the movies, or maybe just take a walk to the beach. But your path has shifted, you are on a different voyage. Try to enjoy the ride; don't anticipate what will happen, just let it be. In time you will see that the change has occurred and you feel different about life. Your thoughts of yesterday are just memories and your day is new and bright. This is your renewal of your Life Path; and each of us has had this experience or will have one. Your energy has changed and although your pattern of your daily activities may remain the same ... you have had a major or minor renewal.
As you can see during the course of your life there are many such renewals...this is your pattern of growth and the increasing of your awareness of who and why you have been born.
Just for today ... try it.. make a change in your thought pattern...check out that new path and see where it will lead to.

A POT OF GOLD ~ 6-12-1975
In this long plan
Laid before all Man
The Path was set
In this challenged Land.
The Rainbow seals
A promised Land
Nor Pot of Gold
Shall be unfold
Without a thought of men of Old.
The Land lies there
Sometimes in VEIL
Along some brook
Or in a deal.
Look around
Look up
Look down
Look deep
and it shall soon be found.
In days of OLD
No one known
That man possessed a Spirit of Soul,
Life they thought
Just began
It knew no plan
of all on hand.
No seed
Did they understand
No atom
In a land of MAN.
Some men searched
For not in vain
Many suffered undo pain
Some founded Church
and In they lurched.
I can not end
This song of old
Without a thought
Of our Men born BOLD.
Many faces
March on by
A few I place
A few I try.
It is not for me
To try to BE
A person held on high
For all of US
Have found a place
IT'S ONE AND ALL ARE GOD.

WHEN THE WORLD STOOD STILL
There have been moments when people feel the world stood still. They have ushered in many actual occurrences in our life's. Probably the first was our moment of birth. Most people will never remember this actual event; some people claim they do. I am not here to argue that point; but just to remind people that the world does stand still in your life. Other moments that make me believe the stillness of Mother Earth, is at a special event...like a graduation speech; or any speech for that matter. The silence before a storm; the stillness as the wind seems to stop; and breath in; before the winds kick up and the trees bend from it's gusts. In the stillness of the night; when you watch your baby breathe or the face of your loved one silently sleeping. In the soft sounds of the waves as they roll into the rocks...gently rocking the boats from side to side.
Yes, the world stands still, as you contemplate it's depth of meaning. It's meaning is so different to me as it is to you. That is the beauty of this world, it's complexity. My world is much different today than it was yesterday; as your world too has changed.
Some ideas need to stand still; and be tested by the winds of change and the stillness of your mind. You may ask what idea's are these; and I can only answer the idea's that I question ... for my world and your world are not the same world. Our perceptions are different! The colors that I see, for example, are not the same colors that you see. So too are the people of the earth; for they come in all colors too. Again our perceptions are different. That's what makes this World so Special and it occupants, special too.
I think that at the moment of our death; the world will also stand still! For your perception will be on the spiritual path before you. We think of death as an ending; but in essence it is the continuation of your life. The earth journey will have ended but you the spiritual being will still exist and still experience the wonder of the universe. Many paths have crossed here on this earth journey, some will have ended and some will continue on. This is your spiritual pathway to the infinite conception; and it's journey takes many twists and turns; but you will remember this "When the World Stood Still."

STRANGER IN MY SLEEP~5-19-1976
I dreamt of you last night, my love.
Your arms held me so tight.
We were together again, free and young
to romp among the meadows and hide among the trees.
The sky was blue with fluffy clouds, as white as new fallen snow.
The heaven's smiled down so bright; as you smiled back again.
There was so much strength in your stride as we walked along together.
Time stood still, as I watched with thrill.
We embraced and all the world stood still.
Twilight filtered thru, the stars shone bright on high,
as we gazed into the sky.
We spoke not..for sound could not be found
Our bodies stayed; but our minds drifted far away.
For that short time, as the hours swept by,
Our spirit knew that time means nothing at all;
It exist's not.
Somewhere in the universe, although I know not;
We shall meet again. My dearest friend and I shall
Know you and we shall both be Free!

THOUGHTS ~ March 30, 2012
I had some new thoughts in my mind this morning, and I should have written them down. But, alas, I didn't and I can't remember what they were. So I thought I would just type and see what comes out of my inspirational mind.
Everyone in the New York/ New Jersey is having lottery fever. The prize has escalated to 640 Million Dollars. The Largest ever winning for Mega Millions Jackpot. I bought a few tickets...you can't win it .. IF your not in it!
It's nice to dream about what would you do IF you won that jackpot. That is a lot of money. I would love to win it! Pay off bills. Fix up my home. Buy a new car. Travel. Set up trust funds for my grandchildren. Set up a business, or a few businesses. Travel. The list can go on and on! Mainly I would want the money to continue to make money for the future.
I just noticed I wrote Travel down, twice...I guess that is what I want to do most. Visit different places in the world.
I am not selfish so I would share money with various charities, after setting up more trust funds. I know people say they have to go into hiding for awhile to get away from the hoards of people that will be coming out of the wood works clambering for a piece of your pie. I know my grandkids will have paid up college fees, but only if they finish their studies. This would be a dream come true!
Wouldn't it be nice to be on top of the hill...able to do everything you want without the fear of not having enough funds to meet your monthly bills.
I AM ready for the challenge, and I AM already rich in LOVE and HONOR...to add unlimited financial bliss would be the icing on the cake.
This is the ultimate honor of the UNIVERSE to allow me unlimited financial ability to my journey here on earth. I AM that I AM. Thank you and many blessing to all! I AM ready to be tested. ^i^

THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS
I wanted to write "Where will you be in the next One Hundred Years!" Answer: Dead. So I'll change it to the next fifty years...although I'll probably be dead anyway. 69 + 50 = 119 (Maybe?) People are living longer and longer these days.
In my high school days we had to write a composition on What would the Year 2000 be like. That was in 1961 and at the age of 18...I could not even imagine that. But it is now 2012; and I am still here. The projections were space travel, moving sidewalks, cars that flew above the roadways...not just the ones that FLY on the roads. Cities enclosed in domes. Robotic police patrolling the cities. Camera's watching the roadways, and streets of the cities. Outrageous clothing, well we did accomplish that one! Technical advances in the Medical field...study of the chromosomes, the pathway of life itself. Telephones that can see you as you talk to someone on the other side of the world. Our cars are now talking to us, and parking themselves. We have weapons that can destroy our world ... and we pray that they are not put into the hands of a madman. We live on the edge...always looking to do it faster, bigger, better. A world that, in my opinion is spiraling out of control.
We look to a GOD to save us; and do nothing to save ourselves. We were given the keys of life and the brains of a snail. (Does a snail have a brain?) People that are trying to change the world and bring peace into it are looked upon as "crazy"... while our scientist are trying to recreate life in a laboratory, and produce food that is unnatural to our bodies.
This is the world of the future, based on what we thought we could accomplish as a teenager. So the world of the future based on the projections of the year 1961...has meet some of its predictions and some that we couldn't even fathom during our teen years. Are we happy with it, have we found the utopia that we imagined? It hasn't all been BAD but IT COULD and SHOULD have been BETTER! Time is still on our side ... so hopefully the Children of the 80's and 90's have a new vision for the betterment of the World we all live in.
Peace, Light and Love....to ALL the Children of the Millennium!
