you say you wanted....
to be my friend...
A light shone in

hard times began
And so you ran

some real friends I have
more precious than gold

so you go run
you have become old

The Bliss

The bliss you bring
Is full of light
And full of love
and warm

The strength you know
Is not of limb
But is aglow
When you enter
the room...

The take I get
Is so big
And so fun
I hardly
Can take it in!

The wonder is:
You never know
How much
We all

Love you

I walk the night
the blight
of misinformation
covering my path
here and there...

the lack
of communication
darkening
my door

Springing
from my path

I seek
new friends

new waves of hope

And aspire to bring
My loyal friends
with me
to the gate

Lee Child

Have you read any books written by Lee Child?

He is surprisingly original; his plots defy the imagination easily!

There are many twists and turns and... one never feels that Mr. Child

is done with them!

Back in the Saddle

Looking out from the saddle

I see

Where I have traveled to

And where I want to go

The question now becomes

How to navigate 

How to articulate

And Most of all...

How to continue 

To dream....

So... 

My question is...

What do you dream of?

What means the most to you?

And

What are you looking forward to?

Are you looking forward to

a sci-fi existence?

A future type world?

Or

Are you looking forwards to

Learning more about what drives you

and Who you are?

communicate...what did you say?

Dear Bloggers,

What is the best way to communicate with teens about deep/spiritual matters?

Spring begins....

Spring is starting now...

We hope that in Japan people can get some relief and enjoy spring...

We hope that in Libya some brave people can start a new society....

We hope that in America more of us can enjoy spring..together..

as a community....

hugs.....

book review of "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortensen

"Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortensen combines extreme athleticism...(climbing the Himalaya mountains ...) with passionate idealism.. " Mortensen pulled together the most overachieving and most underqualified staff of the world" to construct his school and teach the children of Pakistan
and Afghanistan who lived in his village.
There are many surprises: a local leader Changazi decides to move all of the school supplies to his own village of Korphe. He claimed that Skardu was "too dirty!"This village was a long hike (114 kilometers) from his village; and yet Mortensen has little choice but to reclaim his goods there.
I hope you enjoy this book....comments...?

European legislation has been passed which finally recognizes biodiversity in Europe and the need to support it...however , Mr.Nash says it will take years to enforce it.Meanwhile there are intuit fishermen who try to catch whales around Iceland ,and other fishermen in Denmark and Japan who still fish for whales.

Certainly there are errors in fishing but how do you feel about people actively killing whales?
Do you think they will have a chance once Europe finally gets these new laws enforced?
Some scholars think that the intuit should be treated as a "special case" and allowed to fsh for whales. What do you think?

Iceland's volcanic ash halts flights across Europe

by Robert Barr and Jill Lawless

Barr and Lawless explain that an ash cloud from Iceland's volcano halted flights to and from Europe and closed the airports of Europe. Tens of thousands of passengers are stranded they said. It is not sure when they can fly again...
Unfortunately, this already prevented President Obama from representing the U.s. and it prevented other countries from going to the funeral of the President of Poland this month.
Please think of these people. Please leave comments for these people. I hope that they can get home soon...
