"me"!?

And---what?...of “me”?

 

Just---simple-humble Love…of Truth!...and sacred-Life!

 

Amen!

Celebrate---Life!...with Love!

 

A-Celebration---0f…Best!...

 

More than once, (Simple-humble)-I have been severely chastised

and berated for expressing the conclusion that I know many more

“good”-people than I do those of less savory-intentional character.

 

Well!...

 

I maintain that determination---based solely on…Truth!

 

Just maybe, if thee chooses to be “miserable-by-intent”, one might

consider “attitude” or “facts”-founded-in-(sacred)-Truth! Amen!

 

People are: Bored! Lonely! & Afraid! It is a focused personal-choice.

 

If one wants to “feel”-better about self---maybe…“celebrate” others!?

 

 Need someone to celebrate?---Someone…Worthy!?

 

I have two considerations for thee to celebrate divine-“talent”:

 

Malea Emma (age:-7) & Darcy Farmer (age-13)!

 

Little-Malea Emma “sings” the “Star Spangled Banner” at a soccer

game and can be viewed and heard on the internet. Fantastic!

 

Cute-Darcy Farmer does a ventriloquism-act with several-voices and

even sings in the tenor of her “friends”.  Absolutely-Awesome!

 

Okay!? So? These-two have “some”-talent!? Maybe? So what?

 

Soooo!!! Start “looking for the “Good” in others!---Even…you!

 

Not all “Good”-people can save the world---maybe…all can smile a bit!

 

Heroes!? Few and far between in the cursory glance---myriad…in reality!

 

Accept the “gift”-of-work---out of respect & responsibility…to Family-love!

Practice Christian-generosity when no one is watching. Make it habit!

Say “something”-nice to or about another; even, thyself!? Celebrate!

 

Learn to fully enjoy each instant---this ain’t dress-rehearsal…Only…one-chance.

 

So? How do you choose to live!?---Your “choice”…choose Love-wisely!

 

Celebrate: Life & Love!---“See”-the-Good!...in everything & everyone! Amen!



"One-day"?---uh!? Yeah!...TODAY!!!

 

And---one day…then!?

 

Incarcerated a-purpose in those deepest recesses of the secret-mind:

Little wishes---river- mountain- ocean-adventures…one day? Soon!?

 

Yet, I dare not allow the poverty of lament; me-spirit soars-wild! By-choice!

 

And---I have been and am and come…sweet Life & Love! Embraced!

 

My one-day needs not await the dawn---for…I love life. Now!

Amen!

Liberty & Freedom!

 

“Liberty” sanctions “Freedom”!

 

“It’s my right!” Oft declared faux-conclusion sans clarity.

 

Precious-Liberty fosters sacred-Freedom!

It is precisely the exercise of Liberty (rights) which results Freedom!

 

“…inalienable-rights which among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

 

If one cherishes apple-pie but never indulges the delicacy,

one’s desire for such can never be satiated. So? The point!?

 

To embrace the virtues of Freedom one must exercise the value of Liberty.

 

And, just how might a blessed-recipient focus-conclude such exercise?

 

Maybe---just…simple practiced-contemplation of purpose. To wit:

With the sacred trinities of life/love:

 

Good-enough is absent focused-effort.

Better initiates value-ambition.

Best celebrates success-virtue.

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate!

Vigilant-be! No one’s future is ever late!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

 

“Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth!”

Amen!

 

 

 



Slumber-time!---and...more

 

Horizon-vistas infinite---

 

Embrace, do (simple-humble) I, that texture-soft midnight-black

punctuated with myriad blue-white diamond-sparkle kaleidoscope

wooing a willing spirit-wild with anticipation for adventure

dreams-of-Hope for an ever-better dawn-of-day future-come.

 

In some wee-hour space to indulge a fantasy-plethora delight.

Always---satiating-good, the images…Pleasant-slumber! Son!

 

A body and mind respite---A soul replenished…Awaiting…

 

…Dawn! A first peach-blush of the promised ’morrow-come.

She soft-kisses away the night-of-dreams coaxing Life!-renewed.

And, I’ll not fight her subtle-invite; rather, luxuriate in her embrace.

 

Sunrise!-soon! To stir the winds in struggle-reach above a far horizon

in that coldest several minutes of another new-born day now red-ablaze!

 

Quick-now! Up and fresh, a banana, perhaps, to stave a hunger-pain;

then, out the door to feed the critters hay and grain, their breakfast.

Open the gates and herd them out to forage for another day-fare treat.

 

Mid-morn to rest upon the ancient hand-made oaken century-bench by

Grandpap-built ’neath the giant silver maple filigree-shade; a respite-earned

in strenuous-labor spent playing with alfalfa-bales too heavy-in-resistance.

 

And---at the (finally) long-awaited lunch-time…nourishing food-fare.

 

I live yonder-south of warm-comfort high-sun noon;

a bit west of illuminated-alabaster pale full-moon.

 

Mid-afternoon, an ice-cream treat, to cool a heated-spirit, already satiated.

 

Eve’s lovely purple hue-delight enhanced with elegant-supper fare.

Gathered-family thankful-celebrate another “little”-victory of love.

 

Porch-swing time to savor-sweet the day passed in solace-replete.

Perhaps---some hot-tea and toast…then greet the night-time space.

 

Slip into slumber-blessed in honor Praise-prayer to Glory Truth!-chant:

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

 

Amen!



1st day of my beloved---Autumn! A bit-early for Santa...but...

 

Christmas-tender!

 

In distant yonder-tiny desert-town

Pure-white snow drifts velvet-down

 

Midnight-Angel clarion-calls celestial Alleluia!-sing

Trumpet-echo! Cherubim & Seraphim celebration-King

 

Oh! Come all ye Faithful! Praise! Thy Savior-born!

Rustic stable-manger King worship Christmas-morn’

 

Pray simple-humble I be among the gathered lowly-beasts

In Grace to sacred-celebrate His heaven-holy gifted-feasts

 

Silent-night! Holy-night! All is calm! All is bright!

Vow-I: Let every-day be Christmas-Peace delight!

Amen!



Home! & Books & blog-info.

 

Home!

 

 

“Home is where the heart is!” Some say.

 

Home is where I hang my hat! I practice.

 

I am always “Home”! I purpose-conclude.

 

In this pulsing-time beat is permeated trinity-value:

Live! Love! Laugh! And, Faith! Family! Freedom!

 

And, the greatest of these is: Love! The sacred-virtue!

 

For I demand-of-self that I live in soft Light-of-Truth!

 

Home resides in this simple-humble heart-of-mine!

I live a “home”-value by virtue of loving Peace!-eternal!

 

Some never find “Home”-Peace---absent Love!... Amen!

For such, I humble pray to exorcise their lamented-loss.

May they embrace a simple-spirit knowing a humble-heart.

 

Lo! Amazing Grace! Satiates my spirit! Brings me strength!

Of all the places in all the world---I choose…Home! Sweet-home!

 

Amen!

Two-gates---choose...wisely!

Two-gates: Pearly-white or pitch-black

 

One-day will come last-breath---the “tunnel”-gates…one-White, one-black!

 

Lived Life true---Denied Truth! Even a rose-beauty!

Lived in the comfort-light!---Refused to embrace any delight!

Practiced-focused Christian-generosity---Hated indiscriminately!

Lavished-Love! Accepted-Love!---Indulged only selfish-intent!

Found and practiced Tolerance!---Never lived outside my-Truth!

Used less than I needed---always took and demanded even more!

My-word! My-bond!---Whatever it takes to get my-way. Always!

I will always offer anything!---I will always demand everything!

Beauty is anywhere I look---All I see is “ugly”!

I am Traditional!--- I honor no-values!

No problem is too difficult!---It’s not worth any effort to me!

I care too-much!---I don’t care…at all!

I can teach you!---Too dumb!

How about dinner?---Doubt that you can cook!

Cool-car!---It’ll be rust in 10-years!

Pretty-girl!---Soon, fat and ugly!

Ah! You can be polite!---(expletive)-you!

Let’s plant some trees?---I hate “shade” and “leaves”!

I planted 10,000-plus!---Why? Stupid-idiot!

Good! Better! Best!---Who cares!?

Live! Love! Laugh!---Cry! Sad! Hate!

Cloud-fantasy

 

Yonder! In cerulean-abyss, white puff-ball fleece-delight!

 

Wish might-I could canvass-palette bristle-hue such grandeur.

 

But, better, perhaps, to simple-enjoy the Artist-talent perfect!

 

Prayer: A humble return-thanks: Praise! Honor! Glory!

I took the time to simply notice Thy awesome-wonder gift.

Breathe-deep the fresh after-storm upon yon whisper-wind.

Caught the sparkle-diamond glint in “innocent” clear-eye.

Hugged-tight slim-shoulders of one lost in lonesome-night.

Refreshed-senses delight in Thy frigid-winter reminder.

Sought the rainbow-hue trophy of a world clean-washed.

Love pink-blush-dawn kiss to awaken another day.

Fashioned butterfly-delight in vagrant color-pattern wild.

Grew seeds to trees then planted in Thy-honor 10,000+!

Soared-high in silver-bird to view the “Paradise”-below.

Satiated-sailed yon ocean-blue found awesome-adoration.

Kissed the summit white and cold warm-mantle of the mountain.

Played “surf”-tag on cool-white sand-beach in time-to-contemplate.

Appreciated Life-gift absent any complaint for sanctuary-blessed.

Learned Love-gift to be best freely-given and reverently-accepted.

Saw the “elephant”---and, hopefully…gleaned lesson learned-well.

And---was and am and will be?...if come the ’morrow-dawn call.

Cherished all was offered that I took---I humble-Pray!...gave more!

Embraced Freedom! born of sweet-Liberty! Forever grateful-proud!

Gentle-kissed Mother Nature-cheek in wondrous-adoration grace.

Came through unscathed---head held-high…eyes on yon golden-horizon.

When I stumbled in a falter---found Peace!...at Thy Redemption-altar.

Dawn! Sunrise! Mid-morn! Noon! Eve! Midnight-dark!---I Live!

No trepidation! Fear! Nor Worry!-conjure because…I know Love!

When sometime I be alone?---Never…for I am filled with Life-Love!

 

Find me in some midnight-garden alabaster-pale full-moon soft-light—

Riding Rainbow-hues of Butterfly-design soaring winged silver-Unicorn!...

On this most time-space awesome-journey in simple-humble Life!-Love!

That I might be assigned to choose---Do it all the same!...my foregone-conclusion!

 

To each and all, my gratitude---Thank you!...What an exquisite adventure-ride!

Pray (simple-humble)-life honor-reflects me sacred-mantra: Faith! Family! Freedom!

 

One-day join-me to bounce cerulean-abyss on white puff-ball fleece-delight!

Amen!
