May peace and love be with you.

We all seek peace, love, purpose and fulfillment in our lives. All the other "stuff" we fill our lives with only satisfies the ego for a short time. But continually living with love for your self and all life around you — and giving back to life something good from within yourself — will bring the mind and heart long-lasting peace. May peace and love be with you. 

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism, This-ism, that-ism, ism ism ism, all we are saying is....

Spiritual living

Buddha, Ghandi, Jesus say

Peace and Love, the way.

Happiness, is still breathing.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. ~ Buddha

Love Life.

Can being at peace with ourselves become the given way of our lives?
Of course. Think, pray, speak, desire, and act only of peace.

Can we find love in our lives?
Yes. Love abounds, love is everywhere—everything that is alive really is a gift of love.

Can we change the world for the better?
Absolutely. We are the world—we are what we think, teach, and act upon.

Remember, every act of kindness—no matter how small—makes our world a better place for us all—and that’s what it’s all about. ♥ ♥ ♥

The human spirit.

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit. ~ Helen Keller

Gratitude.

There are many reasons to be thankful, in spite of any adversity we are facing, and we all face hardship. Gratitude helps defeat adversity.

Very little is needed to make a happy life: it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. ~ Marcus Aurelius

Happy Father's Day!

As I walk, as I walk.

The universe is walking with me,
In beauty it walks before me,
In beauty it walks behind me,
In beauty it walks below me,
In beauty it walks above me,
Beauty is on every side,
As I walk, I walk with Beauty.

~ Traditional Navajo Prayer

Peace and Love.

I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of a nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love. 
~ Red Cloud (Makhipiya-luta) Sioux Chief

All love needs is you.

Love is.

Love is you, You and me, Love is knowing, We can be. Love is free, free is love, Love is living, living love, Love is needing to be loved. Thank you John.

With a smile on your face, love in your heart and good thoughts on your mind, every day will be a great one. ~ Kuntala Roychoudhury

Life is a trip, enjoy the ride.

the flower

I stooped 

to observe a flower

its brilliant, radiant colors

shone like the sun

its petals shaped like

a star in the heavens

and with the depth of a valley

with tentacles like 

an octopus

capped with seats 

befitting insects

and with a smell like

nothing than to itself.

Choose love.

trees are like people

trees are like people

they come in many shades of black and white

and yellow and brown

trees are like people

some are round and short, others tall and thin

but all wear colorful adornments that change with the seasons

trees are like people

some like the sun, while some like the shade

some bear fruit, while others were not meant to

trees are like people

they have limbs and knees, and scars and crowns and lobes and teeth

trees are like people

seedlings, fragile, young and needy

that, nourished, grow strong and secure
in their roots

trees are like people

some stand alone atop a hill

with prickly needles on branches bent and beaten by the ages

while some flourish in groves, happy to be
surrounded by their own kind

trees are like people

they all grow from the warmth of the sun

and drink of the rain

and stretch to reach the heavens.
