An Unfolding Adventure...

In a book - not yet published, she writes:

…her strength can be seen in the most blinding of snowstorms, in the small, steady footprints she leaves behind. But the greater discovery is with every season... for hidden in her tracks is the mystery of the snow that never melts around them - as though winter was touched by her growing strength - and waits as a sign of her determination to save it.

My Father's Hands

My Father, thou art here,
with my spirit of heaven.
In all my days I needed you,
you failed me not.

It is often not enough said,
of the impression you leave,
I, in my heart,
do solemnly believe.

I have grasped for the wind,
and tried to hold it palms tight,
but only a God, like you,
could part those waters with your Might.

There was a time,
I was deeply afraid,
in my own troubled waters,
I could not have made.

Openly you would listen,
Graciously you would give,
only a Son, like you,
could walk on those waters and Live.

Now on my way,
palms open wide,
I am feeling the wind,
cleanse through my eyes.

In all my days coming,
and since my birth,
only a Man, like you,
can save thy heaven on Earth.

• Do you see the question? Started with one message, resulted in two, three actually.
• Thought this poem also fitting with my concerns of global warming. Even now it still stops me and makes me think about this planet we abuse and the environment.
  

Note: Artist embedded moving water and sound, I can still hear the waves and birds overhead. I hope to find the artist one day as I couldn't recall the site where I found the photo. The text you see on the photo is what I included as part of a Powerpoint presentation for a writing class.

An Inconvenient Truth

What are your thoughts, whether you saw this powerful message on DVD or read the book?

A wonderful contribution to our climate and planet from Al Gore - and above all, leading our world of generations to come by encouraging greater responsibility from all...

More than 50,000 scientists from 63 countries will be conducting and sharing research during the two-year program, assessing the Arctic and Antarctic and making forecasts and recommendations for the future… [read more]

Intuition: You Just Know

A novel I'm writing:

Deals only happen where the truth is hidden.
Change only happens when the truth comes out.

I had to write legal documentation a night in November 2004. In early Summer 2005, I started writing a letter to myself - always a form of clarity, organizes priorities, strengthens focus. What started out eight pages became over eighty pages of compelling evidence, scandalous ways and immoral truths.

A gift.

Words.

© All rights reserved.

We all exchange words.
Nothing is more powerful than words and is in the attitudes in which we share them...

Communication:
a) Dejamoo - the feeling you've heard this bull before.
b) "You demand mental compatibility in order to be turned on, and you're not likely to let anyone dance with your body if they can't also dance with your mind."

Confidence:
It takes confidence to say what's on your mind and let's you share with others. When I can scream Dude Looks Like A Lady at the top of my lungs - well what is more powerful than that!

Sense:
"I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun."
- Katharine Hepburn

• BTW: Katharine would have married if she weren't being herself :)

Born Talent:
There are secrets in the hands of an ancient storyteller that give life to the voice of a sleeping soul. No idea where that just came from! Give me a pen or keyboard and the words are there that I can see them before I have even had a chance to think about them. I have not yet researched this to understand how or why that is - but perhaps it must be talent?!

Awareness:
Though we are born of a science we do not understand - we certainly connect with life and loss. Awareness then reaches beyond any border imaginable.

Inspiration:
As a writer, singer, songwriter, or musician, to name a few, you have the opportunity to draw out in people what's more than likely there, but what no one has given attention to - and that's pretty powerful, don't you agree?!

Leadership & Responsibility:
Then there's the responsibility in words: requires a leader with enough courage to say or write them; to represent a strength in who they are; to stand on solid ground and stay true in who they are. You have an opportunity to lead a country or reach the entire world...

And there's something really fascinating about that.

Hey, like Snoopy :)
