winter

wicked cold bone chill
old man winter’s hearty self
snowflakes are blooming.

Peace and Love, the way.

winter

good night, it is winter

the cold white snow blankets the earth as far
as the eye can see

yet winter berries and wildlife abound

and a beautiful sunset beckons me to find warmth in slumber and in dreams.

Today.

Today, I will strive to carry a smile on my face as a reminder that life is good.

Today, I will give gratitude in silence and with spoken words for the gift of life.

Today, I will find a way to give to life something good from within myself.

Where winter wolves bark amid wastes of snow and icicled trees. ~ Walt Whitman

Live each day.

Live each day to its fullest, remember time is a precious gift, given to us only one moment at a time. ~ Maci Usher

The wound is the place where the Light enters you. ~ Rumi

Love will change you. Be love. Be the change.

Humanity is an ocean.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. ~ Gandhi

one

We can all help change the world for the better. 
One day at a time. 
One person at a time. 
One step forward every day. 
One voice — Love.

and peace will be with you

let your smile be radiant

and peace will be with you

let your eyes see beauty

and peace will be with you

let your hands know nature

and peace will be with you

let forgiveness cleanse you

and peace will be with you

let your thoughts be pure

and peace will be with you

let your life be a joyful ode

and peace will be with you

let your dreams become reality

and peace will be with you

let your love touch all

and peace will be with you.

you are you, a wonderful you

is the rainbow jealous of the ocean’s grandeur?
do the trees judge each other?
does the sparrow mock the robin’s song?

does the rose think the daisy foolish?
does the sun envy the moon’s glow?
does the sky not share with the brilliant stars?
you need not long to be another,
you are you, a wonderful you.


©2012 Thomas Hillman, Mere Words Evoke, poetic expressions

hope, joy, love

a broken spirit

seeks to be whole and at peace
be the hopeful hand

be the light of lights
create a beautiful song
bring joy to the world

open up the heart
judgment melts, know forgiveness
offer to be love.

look within

if your eyes are looking for beauty in the world, first look at your own soul.

if your ears long for a delightful sound, listen to the beat of your own heart.

if your heart is searching for hope, start first with belief in yourself.

Creation is too grand, complex, and mysterious to be captured in a narrow creed. That is why we cherish individual freedom of belief. At the same time our convictions lead us to other affirmations. ~ William Schulz

lesson learned

I stopped to rest off a quiet trail

to try and observe and meld with nature

away from the constant unnatural noise
of humankind

the wind was whistling and whispering in
my ear with a tickle

but I could not understand its message

butterflies and a multitude of other insects
flitted by, each for a brief visit,

but we could not share in conversation

robins, sparrows and a crow sang a variety
of unique songs

but I could not mimic to sing along with them

the sun and the rain took a few turns
drenching me in showers, it seemed 

puzzling, until I saw the rainbow’s finale

but my sojourn held no shortcomings after all, for an important  lesson was learned –

all that is alive is amazing, and all that is alive is a gift.

@2009-2012 Thomas Hillman, Mere Words Evoke, poetic expressions

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. ~ Og Mandino

Veteran's Day

In remembrance...

In remembrance of those fallen, disabled, with wounded hearts and minds, and for all that served for the pursuit of freedom, with the hope that peace and love will rule our lives, that peace and love will truly be the essence of humanity’s being every day.

Yes We Can.

The vast majority of the people in the world live their lives with honesty, love, and giving. The universe does not favor the vicious, though it may appear so, it helps the honest and virtuous. 

If we put our collective efforts together—one good deed per person, given freely with love, with constant effort every day, and multiplied by the vast majority—then we will eventually shift our world towards peace and love as the given way of life. 

We must believe it, and strive for it—every day. 

Love is all. Love is the answer. Love first, then peace will follow.
Namaste' friends.

let it become

let your needs turn into what you give away

let your dreams become your reality

let your reality be all that you love

let all that you love be for the good of others.
