A New Year has just begun...

Last year has come to an end
Time to let the pain fade
Time to let the anger heal
Leave yesterday trapped in the past
Leave behind the old point of view
Leave all the negatives behind
Take along the valuable lessons
Take along the good memories
Bring along family and friends
And close the door

A New Year has just begun

Time to move to a better place
Write and sing a new song
Live our lives anew
Work with renewed purpose
Love everyone that is in our lives
And all members of the human race
Find happiness along the way
Enjoy the journey
And be amazing

Clear the Old, Make Way For the New

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma--which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."  ~Robert Glenn

Living out our Existence

In my most recent project, I have been researching the genesis of life.  The emergence of life on earth is one of the most enigmatic scientific subjects I have ever researched.  One thing that is clear to me in the mystery is that the very fact that life exists is amazing.   As we live out our existence we are meant to love each other, do something productive with our lives, reach for our dreams, and help each other out.  In doing so, we will make our world a better place for ourselves and for our children and further our evolution.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

“We are the light at the end of the tunnel. No matter what trials and tribulations we go through, deep inside us there is a light that shines bright. It was there from birth and streams messages of guidance from our inner wisdom every day. The light within can guide us through all the forks in the road of our life. Find your light and find your way to a better life.”  ~Don Shapiro, author Life Is A Fork In The Road.

The Love From Beyond

Gazing at the nighttime sky
Pondering the vast universe
Wonder about our very future
Struggle to find our common ground

Hoping that the light of the Moon
Shines her wisdom on the masses
Opening our hearts and souls
Awakened to the love from beyond

The Power of One

One person may be just one

But one can make a difference

And one can share their love

And one can touch many lives

And everyone has their part to play

So go out and live, love, and be

The power of one

The Promise of Spring

In the Northern Hemisphere, we have just entered winter, with its short days and long nights.  Synchronistically, during the darkest days of the year many of us celebrate holidays and feasts.  Having our celebrations this time of year I believe serves a purpose - to carry us through the winter and remind us of the coming spring.  With that in mind, as we continue to celebrate and especially when the holiday season is over, let’s bring the promise of spring into our hearts and share our light with others, especially the forgotten and lonely.
