The Best Within You!!! Worth Reading!!

Start/The Stopping

my flames rise to the gulf of you.
i am the orange parachute in your black and white dream.
as my brilliance flares, your leaden tent
begins to form as skin.
my light is too slow in reaching your constellation.

depression takes over
in the two minutes since you have left.
you move over me like frost.
if one hundred seconds
have wrenched blood from my heart so fully,
how will hours pass?
this minute prays for childless seconds, the time filled like ashtrays.

the evidence has mounted:
a hand held loosely, by you and my wrist.
you surround me fruit-like, the rind torn away.
the pulp without shelter flows unconsenting.
the moon hits and hits
again. i trim the hangnail moon and close the blinds.


there is no action kind enough to express heartbreak.
I am left
shut,
the quietest of blossoms...Stella Padnos

Fast Cancer

In a lab somewhere downtown
Trained eyes peer through a microscope
Curled fingers type a report
Ominous words slide under my door.

Shock grabs the moment
Disbelief interrogates my past
Uncertainty clouds my future.

Tiny terrorists steal my own blueprint
Use my nourishment and transport
And lock on to corrupt my body.

While neighbors fret taxes, lawn, weather
And strive for a better cappuccino
I do needles, cold metal surfaces, and gigantic futuristic machines
Then I wait in the doomsday room.

Favorable results come quickly – a day or two
Unfavorable results take longer – a week or two
Ultimate results – six months, one, two, five years.

Rapid pulse . . . amor? tennis?
No. My heart is nourishing the tumor
Elevated fever . . . the flu? amor?
No. My body is trying to burn out a new activity.

Acquaintances quickly forego clichés, advice, and anecdotes
Precious moments and hours are spent with treasured friends and family
Thoughtful notes slide under my door
If there were only a silver bullet...Author Unknown

MJ thank you for sharing that poem with us..xoxo,Patti

Nine requisites for contented living:
Health enough to make
work a pleasure

Wealth enough to support your needs

Strength enough to
battle with difficulties and overcome them

Grace enough to confess
your sins and forsake them

Patience enough to toil until some good
is accomplished

Charity enough to see some good in your neighbor

Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others

Faith
enough to make real the things of God

Hope enough to remove all
anxious fears concerning the future.
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe~
(1749-1832, German Poet, Dramatist, Novelist)

God Speaks to Each of Us

God speaks to each of us before we are,
Before he's formed us then, in cloudy speech,
But only then, he speaks these words to each
And silently walks with us from the dark:

Driven by your senses, dare
To the edge of longing. Grow
Like a fire's shadowcasting glare
Behind assembled things, so you can spread
Their shapes on me as clothes.
Don't leave me bare.

Let it all happen to you: beauty and dread.
Simply go no feeling is too much
And only this way can we stay in touch.

Near here is the land
That they call Life.
You'll know when you arrive
By how real it is.

Give me your hand...Rainer Maria Rilke

The war had turned inward until it resembled
suicide. The only soothing thing was water.
I passed the sentries, followed the surf out of sight.
I would sink into the elements, become simple.

Surf sounds like erasure, over and over.
I lay down and let go, the way you trust an animal.
When I opened my eyes, all down the strand
small crabs, the bright yellow of a crayon,

had come out onto the sand. Their numbers, scattered,
resembled the galactic spill and volume of the stars.
I, who had lain down alone, emptied,
waked at the center of ten thousand prayers.

Who would refuse such attention. I let it sweeten me
back into the universe. I was alive, in the midst
of great loving, which is all I've ever wanted.
The soldiers of both sides probably wanted just this...Marilyn Krysl

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insight with a classroom of students.

As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there. With a gentle look of reflection on her face, she paused and said, "Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is very important.

"Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is God’s way of telling us that we must make the most out of every single day."

Her eyes beginning to water, she went on, "So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see, it could be a scent-perhaps of freshly baked bread wafting out of someone’s house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground.

"Please, look for these things, and cherish them. For, although it may sound trite to some, these things are the ‘stuff’ of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for granted. We must make it important to notice them, for at any time… it can all be taken away."

The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what an impression she made on all of us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all overlook.

Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double-dip ice cream cone. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.

Make it a fabulous day!

Very true and excellent advice. All of us should be more aware of the beauty of nature.

I am your friend and my love for you goes deep.
There is nothing I can give you
which you have not got,
but there is much,
very much,
that, while I
cannot give it, you can take.

No heaven can come to us
unless our hearts find
rest in today. Take heaven!

No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in
this present little instant. Take peace!

The gloom of the world is but a shadow.
Behind it,
yet within our reach is joy.

There is radiance and
glory in the darkness could we but see - and to see
we have only to look. I beseech you to look!

Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its
gifts by the covering, cast them away as ugly,
or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you
will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of
love, by wisdom, with power.

Welcome it, grasp it,
touch the angel's hand
that brings it to you.

Everything we call a trial,
a sorrow, or a duty,
believe me,
that angel's hand is there,
the gift is there,
and the wonder of an
overshadowing presence.

Our joys, too, be not
content with them as joys.
They, too, conceal
diviner gifts.

Life is so full of meaning and purpose,
so full of beauty -
beneath its covering -
that you will find
earth that cloaks your heaven.

Courage, then, to claim it, that is all.
But courage you have,
and the knowledge that we are all pilgrims
together, wending through unknown country, home.

And so, at this time, I greet you. Not quite as the
world sends greetings, but with profound esteem
and with the prayer that for you now and forever,
the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.



This letter was written by Fra Giovanni Giocondo to his friend, Countess Allagia Aldobrandeschi on Christmas Eve, 1513.

Born in Venice, Giocondo would become a priest, a scholar, an architect and a teacher. He was indeed a true 'renaissance man.'



May your day be blessed...

The Word of God

From desert cliff and mountaintop we trace the wide design,
Strike-slip fault and overthrust and syn and anticline...
We gaze upon creation where erosion makes it known,
And count the countless aeons in the banding of the stone.
Odd, long-vanished creatures and their tracks & shells are found;
Where truth has left its sketches on the slate below the ground.
The patient stone can speak, if we but listen when it talks.
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the rocks.

There are those who name the stars, who watch the sky by night,
Seeking out the darkest place, to better see the light.
Long ago, when torture broke the remnant of his will,
Galileo recanted, but the Earth is moving still
High above the mountaintops, where only distance bars,
The truth has left its footprints in the dust between the stars.
We may watch and study or may shudder and deny,
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the sky.

By stem and root and branch we trace, by feather, fang and fur,
How the living things that are descend from things that were.
The moss, the kelp, the zebrafish, the very mice and flies,
These tiny, humble, wordless things -- how shall they tell us lies?
We are kin to beasts; no other answer can we bring.
The truth has left its fingerprints on every living thing.
Remember, should you have to choose between them in the strife,
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote life.

And we who listen to the stars, or walk the dusty grade
Or break the very atoms down to see how they are made,
Or study cells, or living things, seek truth with open hand.
The profoundest act of worship is to try to understand.
Deep in flower and in flesh, in star and soil and seed,
The truth has left its living word for anyone to read.
So turn and look where best you think the story is unfurled.
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the world...Catherine Faber

If you can look at the sunset and smile,

then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of

a small flower, then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement

of a butterfly, then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,

then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,

then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still

lull you to sleep, then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you

stop and stare in wonder, then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant

under your fingertips, then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement

and optimism, then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,

then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to

others that have touched your life,

then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter

still brings a pleasant surprise,

then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills your with

pain and frustration, then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die,

or accept that it must end,

then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of

quiet and reflection, then you still have hope.

If you still buy the ornaments, put up the

Christmas tree or cook the turkey,

then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile,

then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told

everything is futile, you can still look up and

end the conversation with the phrase...

"yeah...BUT.," then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing.

It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides,

but rarely does it break.

It sustains us when nothing else can.

It gives us reason to continue and courage

to move ahead, when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.

Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured, and

something that will refresh us in return.

And it can be found in each of us,

and it can bring light into the darkest of places.

NEVER LOSE HOPE!

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she
filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it
before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It
symbolizes Love."
This was how I saw it:
As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to
remain there, it will always be there. However, if you
attempt to close your fingers round it and try to possess it,
it will spill through the first cracks it finds
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet
LOVE...
They try to possess it,
They demand, they expect...
And just like the water spilling out of your hand, love
will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you
cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow
them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a
lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To
truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations
from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.

The managing director of a large company has banned the words"I THINK" from his everyday vocabulary.
"The person who keeps saying "I think" or "I don't think" is simply beating about the bush," he told his employes."There should be no doubt about whether or not you want something to happen." On his desk he had a card with these four lines of verse:

If you think you are beaten,you are
If you think you dare not,you don't
If you'd like to win ,but you think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't!

I think----sorry,I know!---you'll agree that this positive way of tackling any task is the sensible way to go about it.

“Haze hung over the valley
light as gossamer
and clouds partially dimmed the higher cliffs
and mountains.

This obscurity of vision
increased the awe with which I beheld it,
and as I looked,
a peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being,
and I found my eyes in tears with emotion.”

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF

Be Good To Yourself.

Trust yourself.

You know what you want and need.

Put yourself first.
You can't be anything for anybody else unless you take care of yourself.

Let your feelings be known.
They are important.

Express your opinions.
It's good to hear yourself talk.

Value your thinking.
You do it well.

Take the time and space you need.
Even if other people are wanting something from you.

When you need something, don't talk yourself out of it.
Even if you can't have it, it's ok to need.

When you are scared, let someone know.
Isolating yourself when you're scared makes it worse.

When you feel like running away, let yourself feel the scare.
Think about what you fear will happen and decide what you need to do.

When you're angry, let yourself feel the anger.
Decide what you want to do; just feel it, express it, or take some action.

When you're sad, think about what would be comforting.
When you're hurt, tell the person who hurt you.
Keeping it inside makes it grow.

When you have work to do and you don't want to do it,
Decide what really needs to be done and what can wait.

When you want something from someone else, ask.
You'll be okay if they say no.
Asking is being true to yourself.

When you need help, ask.
Trust people to say no if they don't want to give.
When people turn you down, it usually has to do with them, and not with you.
Ask someone else for what you need.

When you feel alone, know there are people who want to be with you.
Fantasize what it would be like to be with each of them.
Decide if you want to make that happen.

When you feel anxious, let yourself know that in your head.
You've moved into the future to something scary and your body has gotten up the energy for it.

Come back to the present.

When you want to say something loving to someone, go ahead.
Expressing your feeling is not a commitment.

When someone yells at you, physically support yourself by relaxing into your chair or putting your feet firmly on the floor.
Remember to breathe.
Think about the message they are trying to get across to you.

When you're harassing yourself, stop.
You do it when you need something.
Figure out what you need and get it.

When everything seems wrong, you are overwhelmed and need some comforting.
Ask for it.
Afterwards, you can think about what you need to do.

When you want to talk to someone new and are scared, breathe.
Don't start rehearsing, just plunge in.
If it doesn't go well, you can stop.

If you're doing something you don't like to do, (such as smoking or overeating), stop.
Think about what you really want.

If you're stuck and can't think clearly, talk out loud to someone.

When you can't think straight,
Stop thinking. Feel.

When you're in need of love, reach out.
There are people who love you.

When you're confused, it's usually because you think you should
Do one thing and you want to do another.
Dialogue with yourself or present both sides to a friend.

When you feel harried, slow down.
Deliberately slow your breathing, your speech, and your movements.

When you have tears, cry.
When you feel like crying and it's not a safe place to cry,
Acknowledge your pain and promise yourself a good cry later.
Keep your promise.

When everything seems gray, look for color.

If one of these rules seems wrong for you, talk about it with someone.
Then, rewrite it so it fits you.

Remember, Be Good To Yourself!

Lord, bless our friends today we pray,
Wherever they may be;
And help them as they go their way,
To keep their trust in Thee.

Lord, hear each prayer they raise to Thee,
And dry each falling tear;
And hover o'er them constantly,
For treasured friends are dear.

Surround them with Thy mercy,
Lord, Protect them by Thy power;
And let them feel Thy presence,
Lord, In every lonely hour.

Stand by them when the road is steep,
And no one seems to care;
Thy arm of love around them keep,
And whisper You are there.

And give them strength to bear the cross,
As through this vale they go;
And stand by them in every loss,
That they meet here below.

And when at last the hour shall be,
That life's short journey ends;
O, let them lean the more on Thee,
And comfort these, our friends.

And open heaven's gate, dear Lord,
And let them enter there;
For heaven will be heaven,
Lord, Because our friends are there.

Never Be Discouraged



There is really nothing we need know
or even try to understand

If we refuse to be discouraged
and trust God`s Guiding Hand...

So take heart and meet each minute
with Faith in God`s Great Love,

Aware that every day of life
is controled by God above...

And never dread tomorrow
or what the future brings,

Just pray for strength and courage
and trust God in all things...

And never grow discouraged
be patient and just wait

For "God never comes too early
and He never comes too late!"

Hey Boop: I love Helen Steiner Rice's poems,I have a book of them.Here is a nice poem by Kilbee Gordon another favorite of mine.

Peace
Once, in the hush of an evensong prayer,
There came a sweet light thro' the dusk-laden air,
As bowed down with sorrow and weighted with care,
I spoke, in a whisper, with God.

The organ subdued, and the voices sublime
Both faded in quiet, and silence betime,
Save wavelets of seraph wings, whiter than rime,
Betokened the presence of God.

How long I remained in that church I ne'er knew,
But o're me the rays of that light fell as dew,
My heart opened widely for all to review---
The peace, in my soul, was from God!...Kilbee Gordon

Patience Taught By Nature

'O dreary life,' we cry, ' O dreary life ! '
And still the generations of the birds
Sing through our sighing, and the flocks and herds
Serenely live while we are keeping strife
With Heaven's true purpose in us, as a knife
Against which we may struggle ! Ocean girds
Unslackened the dry land, savannah-swards
Unweary sweep, hills watch unworn, and rife
Meek leaves drop yeary from the forest-trees
To show, above, the unwasted stars that pass
In their old glory: O thou God of old,
Grant me some smaller grace than comes to these !--
But so much patience as a blade of grass
Grows by, contented through the heat and cold...Elizabeth Barrett Browning

One Perfect Rose

A single flower he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet-
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
"My fragile leaves," it said, "his heart enclose."
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

"Why indeed must "God" be a noun? Why not a verb...the most active and dynamic of all?"...Mary Daly

Some of us have difficulty with the concept of God because we have seen God evolve into something or someone who is static, a mega-controller, and frankly someone who is not that nice to be around. Traditionally, we have tried to make God static so we would feel safe. That is our problem, not God's.
What if we see God as a process---The process of the universe? What if we begin to understand that we are part of the process of the universe? What if we realize that it is only when we live who we are that we have the option of being one with that process? Trying to be someone else, who we think we should be or who others think we should be, ruptures our oneness with that process.If God is a process and I am a process, we have something in common with which to begin...Anne Wilson Schaef

A NEW MEMBER

I see you at the meetings,
but you never say, "Hello",
You're busy all the time you're there
With those you already know.

I sit amongst the people
Yet I'm a lonesome gal,
the "new members" are all strangers too,
And the "old timers" pass me by.

But darn it, you people asked me in,
And you talked of fellowship
You could just step across the room,
But you never make the trip.

Why can't you nod and say,"Hello"!
Or stop to shake my hand,
Then go and sit amongst your Friends?
Now, that I'd understand.

I'll be at the next meeting,
Perhaps a nice evening to spend;
Do you think you could introduce yourself?
I want to be your friend....Author Unknown This article is from The Anglician Newsletter of The Greater Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada Pastoral Unit.

My Thanks

People everywhere in life
from every walk and station,
From every town and city
and every state and nation
Have given me so many things
intangible and dear,
I couldn't begin to count them all
or even make them clear...
I only know I owe so much
to people everywhere
And when I put my thoughts in verse
it's just a way to share
The musings of a thankful heart,
a heart much like your own,
For nothing that I think or write
is mine and mine alone...
So if you found some beauty
in any work or line,
It's just "Your Soul's Reflection
in Proximity with Mine."...Helen Steiner Rice

"The Colossus"

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed , sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lighting , and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes
command
The air-bridged harbour that twin cities frame
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled massed yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me ,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door... Emma Lazarus sonnet to the Statue of Liberty.

To the women on my Journey...Rev.Mellisa M.Bowers...

To the women on my journey
Who show me the ways to go and ways not to go,
Whose stregth and compassion
hold a torch of light and beckon me to follow...

To the women on my journey
who show me how to live ...
Whose grace,success and gratitude
lift me into the fullness of surrender to God...

To the women on my journey
Who show me what I am and what I am not,
Whose love,encouragement and confidence
hold me tenderly and nudge me gently...

To these women I say bless you and thank you
from the depths of my heart,
for I have been healed and set free
through your joy and through your sacrifice...

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly to-day
Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still.

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And they cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear;
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets,
The same look which she turned when he rose...Thomas Moore

24 Things To Remember

Your presence is a present to the world.
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You'll make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.
Don't put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize.
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
Remember that a little love goes a long way…
Remember that a lot…goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life's treasures are people…together.
Realize that it's never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take time to wish upon a star.
And don't ever forget…for even a day…
How very special you are...Collin McCarty

HOW many times these low feet staggered,
Only the soldered mouth can tell;
Try! can you stir the awful rivet?
Try! can you lift the hasps of steel?

Stroke the cool forehead, hot so often,
Lift, if you can, the listless hair;
Handle the adamantine fingers
Never a thimble more shall wear.

Buzz the dull flies on the chamber window;
Brave shines the sun through the freckled pane;
Fearless the cobweb swings from the ceiling—
Indolent housewife, in daisies lain!...Emily Dickinson

Lord, we are your people,

the sheep of your flock.



Heal the sheep who are wounded.

Touch the sheep who are in pain.

Clean the sheep who are soiled.

Warm the lambs who are cold.



Help us to know the Father's love through

Jesus the shepherd, and through the Spirit.



Help us to lift up that love, and show it

all over this land.



Help us to build love on justice

and justice on love.

Help us too..

Believe mightily,
Hope joyfully,
Love divinely..

Renew us that we may help renew

the face of the earth.



Amen
