CALLING YOU…CALLING ME…

This is a call out to all creative souls:

“They need us now, more than at any other time in history , to create our works; to help creation make sense where there is nothing but chaos.”

Sing it

Dance it

Invent it

Design it

Write it

Paint it

Dream it up

Express it

But whatever you do…

Do your part 

A new era demands a new expression …

What do you do when youth is fading fast?

Well darlin’ I must tell ya,
A heart made ready for aging in your glory days, will be what keeps you going when the last vestiges of bloom , sparkle and splendor make their lingering exit out the back door.

What prepares you best for your golden years? Being fully aware that your character has been tested in the furnace of much affliction. Knowing that the dross has been scooped away and what’s left is genuine precious metal .

Foolish are the ones who arrive at the doorstep of their golden years still covered in the dross of their vanities . What a wasted life! They refused the furnace of much affliction during their youth , when a soul can actually withstand such melting and refining . To be purified and tried during your golden years has got to be hell itself.

Blink

Your kids are yours for a blink in time

Hold their tiny and not so tiny hands while you still can

 Before you know it ,the future you prepared them for shows up to claim them 

And when that certain future comes around, you’re left with only memories to hold

Letting them go is heart ache never ending

Set Them Free

Wings are for flying, don’t set them back, set them free to soar heights you yourself never even dared to ascend to. Your young eagles will astound you with every feat they accomplish because you had the guts to release them when their time came.

Judge N Jury

PARENTS: Our children are our judge and jury

There is no mock trial

We’re summoned daily 

And there’s no acquittal come execution day

Our last minute stay of execution will not come

As we’d hoped

But karma is a karmic wheel

She goes forward as well as back

Children then be careful, lest she rolls back on you

You will remember your judgements of us

When you become parents.

On Bended Knee

Sometimes our bended knee supplications mix with our tears , then all of heaven takes note. Abide there for that’s where clarity resides.

The Nature of Nature

Nature always does her thing

No one ever disuades her

She’s unstoppable

She’s uncontrollable 

So why do people try to stop and control others ?

When clearly nature is unstoppable and uncontrollable
