Happy Holidays!

Welcom! A day in the life! The last month of the year! A season for all seasons - a moment in time to reflect on the past...

Our thoughts turn at this time of year to family - friends and the giving of gifts! Each year end celebration brings its own glorious traditions to the table literally! The carefully prepared foods - the candy the cakes the pies - the strudels the sweet breads and pastries - remind us of times long ago and far away.  Times which in our minds eye we see joy and peace sprinkled with a winter-wonderland aglow in love!

 Moments celebrated by all people - all faiths - all cultures.  Peace on earth - no longer just a phrase we say - but a true reality in time...  Even if just for a moment!  We dream. We laugh. We sing songs to a baby - born a king! We honor the hope of peace on earth!

It is that time of year again! Join in the festive spirit and be merry!  The problems of life will still be around in the new year...  But this moment was made for peace and joy!  So forget your sorrows and dance the night away! Lift a toast to the Lord of Love - and Christmas merry!  Blessed Eid! Happy Hanukah! And to all a good night! 🎉🎁

Looking Within...

    Looking Within...

In a world where all we know is what we experience with our senses it is easy to get lost in sensory overload and begin to shut down.  Shut down to the real essence.  To the real beauty in all things.  When we stop trying to mold the world into our own making and we let ourselves go instead deep within - we begin to appreciate the little things.  The things that make us smile. The way the ocean turns on itself creating a rainbow dipped wave.

We see what is there when what is not there is sometimes more important.  Like a cup, usefulness comes from the space created within.  Too many times we fill our lives with many things in an attempt to find meaning and purpose in all we do.  Sometimes it's best to "empty our cup" and just let the wind fill our sails.

Inch by inch - mile by mile, our time to shine is dimming!  Just now, we need to find that inner light we all possess, and throw open the blinds of our heartaches and just let our vision sparkle anew.  It is never to late to start over!  Life is always here for us; until it's not!

So, just now resolve to bask in the glow of the setting sun.  Enjoy the simple things in life.  And then find someone to share in your new found joy!  Smile! Laugh! Love!...From the inside OUT!

Fall In Love!

2016!  A year that can only be seen as one of the most unpredictable in modern times.  So many issues to deal with which up until now were only in the background of a fanciful world gone amock!
ISIS ISOL Taliban Terrorism... Horrors on a scale that   that most cannot fathom!  The insatiable desire of insanity carried out by an insane world driven by insane ideology; which cannot be addressed or touched by the political or religious bigots we find ourselves surrounded by.

Why is this the case?  In the 21st Century - when advancements in science and education have seemed to elevate us far above this stone-age thinking of eons past!  And yet the serpents ugly head rises to meet the most sophisticated weapons of all time.  War has become a fine art.  Killing has made its way to center stage...

In this world - Blessed are the peacemakers - seems to be about the farthest thing from true reality.  We look for the myst to rise - the smoke to clear so we can once again see clearly... Yet here we sit in a pile of disjointed thoughts and endless feelings of helplessness.  Where did we go so wrong?

The only way to find our way is to make a break with the routine - to step back from the brink of chaos and to look around at what is left.  Close our eyes and to let go.....

                        Close your eyes
                         Fall in love
                         Stay there!
