What net?

best friends sharing joy in the white sand...

making birthday cakes out of sand...

a wonderful party was there...

a great time was had by all who attended...

laugher was felt as sand flew into the air...

a celebration of sharing in the vastness of suggested imagination...

only the adults noticed the volley ball net that crossed the white sand court...

can we ignore the net...

can we enter the fantasy world of four year olds...

the cake was amazing...

The ride home...

The wheels of our vehicle turn...


the magic flows...


Every little twinkling light brings such joy to Morgan...


Daddy look another Ho, Ho...


Daddy look a candy cane...


Her joy is a warmth that fills my heart...


Its like a golden light that shines in soft beams, caressing everything it touches...


I begin to see with a new sight inspired by this joy, and love that she bring out in me...


Though the eyes of a child, its as if I am seeing everything for the first time...


We stare in wonder as the wheels of our vehicle continue to turn...


It is our magical ride though this kingdom of lights...


As we travel along...


Each corner we turn another house with more joy to share...


We laugh and point, and laugh some more...



Each string extending out with many little lights that come together to make a shape, and form, making a object that brings smiles to our faces, and joy to our hearts...


How many more smiles will we add when those catch lights in our eyes are shared by others?


Who will you brighten up this holiday season with the joy in your heart, and the twinkle in your eyes?

The painting of our thoughts...

I watch as Morgan pulls her rainbow plastic slinky out the soapy water...


The water flies into the air, as if each drop is racing to touch the sky...


The orchestra of laughter comes from one tiny musician of joy...


One larger musician joins in with deeper laugher...


The audience of Barbie dolls are speechless as they watch the performance...


She plunges the rainbow slinky into the water again...


She pulls it with both hands and the rainbow colors of it remind me of life...


There are many colors, none more important than another...


All in harmony, as everywhere we see one color touches another...


As you look down at the colors you're touching, all the sudden you don't feel so alone...


If you were to continue along the colors you would eventually touch the colors beneath my hands...


Our hands would touch...


And I would smile, as I would call you my friend...


All that we experience in this moment is a painting of our thoughts...


What will you paint next?

The world we live in...

I Am Angry (probably not at you)

Lately, I have started to notice just how angry of a person I am. If you know me either personally or through my writing you may be shocked to find out that I am riddled with anger.

Anger is an easy emotion to find.

It comes from our perception of unfairness.

From our expectation that people are going to be a certain way.

If you expect that people some are not going to "think their way is the only way" then you will be disappointed and angry.

With many people that is just the way that it is.


Our world has a perceived population of over 6.5 billion people with each and every person seeing life from a different point of view, and we wonder why our opinions and actions differ?

I wonder why they don't differ more often (smiling)



There are as many paths as their are snowflakes...


Many lead to anger...


Others lead to other emotions...


Which ones should you take?


What do you wish to experience?


It's your choice, you choose to experience everything you see, hear, touch, taste, smell and more...


I have learned one very important thing which is this:



Choosing individuality holds us to experiencing what is here...

Letting it go frees you to experience what is beyond here...



Observing and experiencing it seems to be that way for everyone.


Not everyone wants to experience what is beyond here.


For it is what is not familiar to them.



Your all in the drivers seat...you are in complete control over where you go next...



I gave up on trying to change the world a long time ago, I decided to change my mind about it instead.


Through my blog I try to share some paths to peace for those who wish to walk them...they are not the only paths but ones that some will relate to.


How many will?


Maybe a handful at most.


Thats fine with me.


Even if I only touch one person in a positive way, then all the writing I do is worth it.


My goal is to be positive with every person I meet in person, or don't meet though my writing.


But that's just my gig.


It doesn't have to be yours.


You choose where you are right now, and where you will be tomorrow...


If you want to be angry, then it's your right to be angry.


If you don't want to be angry then drop your expectation of people to zero.


The number of total acceptance and be free of the anger.


I am telling you nothing you don't already know.

Fun with shopping!

While I was grocery shopping I focused on the love in the hearts of each and every person my eyes fell upon.

I felt sadness and hurt with some people, others were very guarded...


I focus deeper beyond that hurt, beyond those wall and shields...


I focus deep inside their hearts to a love that is beyond all hurts...beyond all need for protection, for this love is timeless and eternal, and can never be taken away...



Then I met their eyes and smiled at them...

As this store was very big, and very crowded their were many people who I did this with.

People smiled back...


Some said "Hi"...


Some even stopped and talked to me as if they have known me all their life...


Some seemed busy and upset, till our eyes met...


Then they seemed to forget what they were upset about, and started smiling...


how simple it is to see the beauty in each and every person on a walk though a store...


How simple it is to bring joy by seeing the love in everyone...


Will your next shopping trip be boring, or will it be an experience to remember?


Will you experience the joy as you recognize it in others?


Will you share it with a stranger?


Will you experience that they are not really a stranger after all...


Will you smile today?
