Four things you can't recover: The stone........after the throw. The word.........after it's said.. The occasion........after it's missed. The time..........after it's gone.

Put back the pieces

One of the most highly developed skills in contemporary Western civilization is dissection: the splitting-up of problems into their smallest possible components. We are good at it. So good, we often forget to put the pieces back together again.

She

She bought a large canvas sometime back, it was a large boxed canvas so she wouldn't have to worry about framing it. She knows what she wants to paint, its in her mind. Although she has been busy and a virus kept her down for quite a while she has not "gotten around" to start the painting. It's been such a long time since she has brought out the brushes, could she be hesitating, letting her insecurity get in her way, does she think she has lost her touch,,, she is basically a strong person, not afraid of much of anything. I think she should shed whatever is holding her back and stop procrastinating, such a waste of time! Life is short, no time for nonsense. You see, the "SHE" is ME!

Puzzle

Our mind perceives, while our heart experiences. Some folks forget about the heart and become wrapped up in the mind. The point is to get the soul to express itself in the heart by reaching through the mind. I feel the heart has minute pieces like a puzzle. There are parts of the past and present, forever attached and fit snugly together. They do not come apart, forever entwined with lasting memories of the past and memories that are being made now. We select the ones that are most meaningful and they become a part of this never ending "puzzle".

Coming of Spring

The sound of rain is soothing as it hits the ground that means when spring comes i will have plants abound The buds of beauty will bloom to my delight they will seek the sun with all there might The rabbits already looking for food but come spring they will have a brood The birds will be looking for a place to nest angrily fighting over a tree that is best Butterflies coming out of there cocoon soon take flight over the flowers they will swoon As the rain keeps falling and may turn to snow i have these images of when it will go The cold i feel now will give way for spring is coming not to far away

Winter Of Your Life

And it's winter before we know it.... You know, time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young. And yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all... And I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams... But, here it is..the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise... How did It get here so fast? Where did the years go? And where did my youth go? I remember well.. seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like... But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting gray. But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last... I know, that when it's over...its over....Yes , I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done ,,,,,things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime....Life goes by quickly. You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life..."Life is a gift to you.
