The Canvas of My Life
by janstevie On the canvas of my life I have seen many paintings Of the times gone by All left my heart aching As the canvas gets full And the corners start fading I search for a place To draw my lifes ending Will there be enough paint To draw two people Or will i run out of space And forever be single. |

Rachel Carson
"If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation of things artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength." ~ Rachel Carson in The Sense of Wonder.
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter." ~Rachel Carson in Silent Spring. |
Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.

A gift from a friend:
There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.

Glynn |
Help set the world on a brighter path by countering the negatives with positives. It will help tip the balance in favor of light. If you dislike rude people, be extra kind yourself. If you dislike anger, be extra slow to anger. If you dislike judgment & condemnation, be extra compassionate. If you dislike hatefulness, give out extra ...doses of love. This is how we will change the world.
~Sherri Lane~ |

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

This is a poem i wrote for a beautiful woman i know called Rose, she has been my muse for quite a while now.
You MUST sing it to the tune " Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer" Rose has a couple of puppies, Hidden down her sweater top. And if you ever saw them, You would think their gonna pop. One of the little puppies, Has a cherry for a nose, And I would love to see it, Can I have a peek dear Rose. Then one frosty Christmas night, Rose fell on her ass. And the puppies both fell out, And rolled round in the grass. Then as I watched her struggle, To get them back inside her bra, I smiled and I whispered to her, I love them just the way they are. |

You have the power to follow and reach your dreams. You have all this power because you have the CHOICE. In each moment you can choose, independent of all other factors. What you think, what to say, and WHO YOU WANT TO BE!!!! - - Unknown - |
