we spend much of our live deep in thought
and at those time we think deeply of or baggage
and we think the world has gone bad..
now let me tell you a story which may make you think more.
this is part of script from love is the essence of our being it was to give insight to our selves
the park bench
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read. Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down. And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, A young boy approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found."
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of retreating he sat next to my side And placed the flower to his nose and declared with overacted surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it's beautiful, too. That's why I picked it; here, it's for you."
The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors: orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need." But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time That weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.
I heard my voice quiver, tears shone in the sun, As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, unaware of the impact he'd had on my day. I sat there and wondered how he managed to see, a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true sight.
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see the beauty in life, And appreciate every second that's mine. And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose And breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose. And smiled as I watched that young boy, another weed in his hand, About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

I do agree my friends , life has 2 sides , the bad and the good one, but no matter if we are into the bad side , always there is the worse one. I have seen so much pain and death in my life and believe me we should always look forward . There is only one way , to appreciate for what we have and to love all the people.

as we all have things to say and share we will find that ideas and thoughts do no become fixed we need to know that anything is able to change for each day we will find many new and wonderful things that teach us who we are we need to know truth
To be teachable we must be willing to surrender our dearly held beliefs and allow them to simply be ideas about any given topic.
An idea is a fluid, flowing form of energy.
It is vibrant and alive, flexible and adaptable.
The moment we take an idea and make it a belief, we have crystallized the idea and made it stagnant.
It is no longer available for modification or growth.
It is this crystallization into belief that causes us to collapse into duality, for we must now “defend” our belief.
If what we believe is truth, then what others believe must be untruth and the ego has temporarily distracted us from the remembering of our spirituality.
our journeys that we have are unique none will ever be the same
and yet our interactions create new and wonderful thing

love is a amazing thing
we have it in our lives from the time we are born
and so experience in that time many many loves
these loves have brought many thing to us and so made us who we are today
so with me poetry is something that creatively express what we feel this next piece is called
lost love by me.
I saw you standing there staring at the moon.
As the stars twinkled from red to blue:
I saw a radiant glow around your body.
And you looked so beautiful
And I new I would miss you.
The world seems to be standing still. As I remember the times we had together,
Knowing I would never do them again.
Except in my mind;
I remember the first time I met you
Even thou my heart ache’s for the longing
To see you again.
I can never forget,
The love we held outweighs all the material wealth.
For once I was rich with your love.
And now I am poor
There can never be anybody to replace you.
For everything reminds me off you.
Your scent is all around me
Every where I go I see you
I don’t know if it is my imagination.
But I do know that,
I miss you dearly.
so with each love you have experienced keep some of that person in you

in the time before time
I was introduced to a incredible part of my life
by a lady who treated me like a son and her dedication guided me many times
and this next is one of my favourites and I feel has a lot of truth
Desiderata
Go placidly
Amid the noise and the
Haste and remember what
Peace there may be in silence
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to
others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others you may become vain and bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your
career however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortune of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be your self, especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the council of the years gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with your self.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
There fore be at peace with god, whatever you conceive him to be; and what ever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.
