“I'm not crying because of you; you're not worth it. I'm crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.”

~ Steve Mariboli ~

We are all on our own journey and who am I too question why things are the way they are.  If this is what is meant to be to be the lesson we all need then so be it.  It takes two to tango and there is a lesson for the other person also.  Nothing is without consequence.

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on Facing our fear and standing out there alone A yearning and it's real to me There must be someone who's feeling for me

Think about it, there must be higher love Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above Without it, life is a wasted time

“The Seven Social Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle.

 From a sermon given by Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925.”

Politics without principle.

Concerning aboriginal art ...

Art is like all Aboriginal art in that it relates specifically to the artist dreaming and to the country where that Dreaming lives.  It is important to note that while the Dreaming is concerned with ancestors and myth, for individual Aboriginals it is a vital and living force whose presence is clearly seen in the landscape of the Country.

"People just love nature and are drawn to the experience of sitting with and depicting the extraordinary detail and beauty of flowers."

A flower at the Fernmount Cemetary.

I was amazed with the exquisite detail these flowers displayed.  They were in a country grave yard.  I took as many shots as I could possibly manage.  I thought they were very special.

"God's delays are not God's denials."

~ Robert Schuller ~

I believe I chose the life story I have in a far off distant ancient time.  We all choose our parents and therefore none of us can emit any blame for any thing,  we knew before we came.  I knew before I came that I would be abandoned and hurt.  But inside of that hurt there is learning and who among us can say what the length of a persons life should or should not be.  Its one of those 6/9 situations.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

That butterfly feeling is so good for your body.  Cells are healed and new growth occurs out of such a high vibrating love environment.  Enjoy Love.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.

~ Tagore  ~

In the dark of the night I often cry out for help to still my sadness.  I become so overwhelmed by my grief and I suffer alone in the dark as the tears push and shove their way out of my eyes.  I promise myself every night before I fall asleep that I won't be upset when I wake up.  So, it appears I will be waking up this way until my last breath is drawn.  Its not easy being brave in situations like this.  I don't want my kids to suffer unnecessarily. But they are the ones with the stubborn uncaring spirits so it appears suffering their own karma is all that will enlighten their spirit in the end.   It is out of mans care now and in the care of the Gods.

 I like to be prepared.  So that I am never caught short, I am always sure of where I travel to.  If I were to be stuck at that place unable to come home I would like to be happy where I am.  So I usually don't go too far.
