You are just the breeze

that delights the trees

You are the heaven

that brings the rain

and then nurtures

life with a prize again and again.

You are human eyes

that can dispel

the kind of love

that warms our

very own might.

Oh- you are majestic,

in life you carry

such delightful angelic eyes.

Keep the glow

that is in you right now, under the snow,

Keep the truth and grow until you're old,

like my 95 year old friend who looked at me lovingly again,

with a glow that overflowed.

It is that glow that to me matters most.

-all these poems are created to me with divine love, this picture however is the art of someone else's flowering craft but I just had to place it here for it is such beautiful delightful art.

Today is a great day.

I choose to start it that way.

I choose to go within and find the peace that eternally has been

the root of my presence, the root of all of we.

Oh dear God may I see with eyes that glow majestically.

I see the thoughts popping up again,

I see the emotions bringing me there and there and there, but will I entertain for too long the madness for hours on end?

I choose to feel my heart deeply sing as I hear the birds outside by the trees.

I listen to my cat's purring delightfully and become embedded by the aliveness that within and throughout will always be felt when I choose to connect to it willingly and wisely.

Then a true peacemaker can I trully be as I connect to the spark of love blissfully.

At each moment I can be a peacemaker or a maker of drama.

At each moment.

But that's okay, when I fall again and again, I learn better and better what not to do to fall again, and learn better and better how to connect and become friends with life again.

Everything that is not love eventually brings us to love.

Michael Jackson day started with Suchi and I going for raw Food at Om's and sitting at the park.. ahhh. and then To Lisa's for Michael Jackson Karaoke, and Om's and yummy food as Monica joined in, singing with everyone to the loudest of voices while we laughed and had such amazing fun, and then finally To see the movie, meeting with Vero, and finding ourselves having a great time in the midst of such crowds in the movie theater, we finally managed to get great seats and watch "This is It'. We kept screaming "We Love you Michael Jackson, and the girls infront of us would look back annoyed saying "We know U love him.. already.. "

We sang along with all the songs, and cried more times than 10. We sang his songs in the car all the way home. What great fun!

When we can share our secrets, our stories, completely feel ourselves, and count on eachother always,, ahhh what a great thing..
I thank God each and every day for the amazing friends I am so blessed to have :)

Suchi
First glance we met
I saw a gentleness and
that gentleness kept
and kept and always has kept
us near,
we are here for eachother
in both happiness and tears.
Always if I frown, I think of my best friends
and then I calm down.

I know we are all in the same boat,
different experiences but one lesson
that's ultimately told.
One lesson we hold
is how
to be gentle with life- with others and with ourselves
Somehow.

But for some reason,
it is serenity,
when I am with my best friends,
I feel I am in a peaceful sanctuary.

Oh Such, You are dear,
you hold a place in my heart
where there is no fear.
All my friends, love ya til the end,
you make life worth living it again and again.

Aww Sahiti!!! and Grandma!!

Children and Snails

All is well
When my heart dwells
At loving children who look at snails
Snails that innocently look up
And antennas they wear
I start to hiccup
Oh I can’t stop
The children smile
I sit on the tile

The flowers gaze
At the sunset above
The flowers pink
I look within

I look with love
My hiccups stop
The children mop
The floor that mom
Was mopping before she took a nap

We're responsible for you
To take care of you
and what great mommy and daddy
you decided to have to help you be trully you.
And I laugh and I giggle
As you clean your room
Because you look so cute
While you mop so clumsily
Reminds me how I just adore you
Quite so lovingly
Quite so sweetly
Quite so well
You are always in my heart
In there you dwell

May we share more times like these
Just simple days filled with ease
Filled with kindness and grace
My heart remembers your gentle face.

Some of the words in this poem are meant for one child I've grown to love and some other words are for another child I've grown to Love. Love you both!

Aww mom... Love love love.. ya beyond boundaries..

Hair wrapped around your head
All slick and smooth
And straight and pressed

You look at walls
while you wait
I pat mom’s back while my mom pains

She whines and pouts
While she awaits

To see the dentist
And let him peak
to see what’s wrong
Deep in her teeth

Dear sweet woman next to me
And dear sweet mom
That sadly weeps
Sometimes life just has to be
Sometimes life just has to be
Can we allow it to just be?

2/2/10

Television is on
I’m sitting far from the storm

It seems the TV is filled at times with hate
Loud noise
Filled with a frustrated voice
Of a journalist
Blaming
While people here are sadly waiting

This poor place
With people in pain
What is worse than
Dear old teeth inflamed?

My mom distracted so she won’t feel
Poor thing “she’s scared”
Her feelings are real

Duality of life
What else to say
But that every moment helps us stay
In wisdom to learn the lessons at hand
All bad feelings help
to better respect our land

Our land is the territory in which we live
It’s also
Our bodies, our thoughts, and our sweet old bliss
May we take care of it every day
And let the light shine love our way

We spread the love just like a flower
Shine our light and not devour

We may mess up
Forget to love
Forget to sweetly
Kiss the dove

The dove symbolizes our freedom to be
Light and airy and sweet and free
I know the pain sometimes is insane
And dear old friends may come our way

I’m glad I was there to come her way
When she had such a painful day
We left the night with some words I regret
But laughed it off with a gentle gist
Of love and always
forgiveness.
