Sat, 17 Jun 2006 On this day I was born, years ago my grandpa would smoke his pipe and play the violin. As I sat by his side the wood burning in the stove brought warmth to us both, most of all I remember that I didn't need the stove at all, my grandpa was warm enough for us both. - Aug 2, 2005 Sat, 21 May 2005
Look above and see my light; as I look down and watch over my children I rejoice at what I see, I enjoy what I have made, rejoice as each new dawn shines over the horizon. Eat what I have provided, grow strong and give something back, as I continue to nourish you we'll be one again. As the grass grows and the plants florish a balance can be found. Do not trample my roots, share with me the sun and water and we will live in harmony.Fri, 20 May 2005
A true friend can see the tears in your eye without a drop shed. The test of time will tell all. Is the shoulder I weep on a lasting friend or a passing aquaintance? A true friend is for life and always in your thoughts, I thank you my friend for you have made my life worthwhile. I wake and see the sun shine, trees grow, grass turning green. And soon the flowers will bloom. We will share this day as if it were our last, Enjoy today together and not worry about tomorrow. Tears may flow, but they shall be for the joy we have together.Thu, 19 May 2005
I dance around the table seeking home, You try your best to let me sleep in my hole. When all is done we will all sleep at night and awaken for a new game tomorrow.The Stranger - undated (20:47)
The stranger stalks us in our darkness, I can run and hide but the darkness follows. I only seek the path to the light, Help me find the bright blue sky with the sun shining above Green grass makes my feet feel as id I were floating on air, Look around and see my perfect world that would be.Fri, 22 Apr 2005Water runs over my wheel, I turn the mighty stone so it may grind the wheat. When my work is done the flour will be gathered and used to make bread to feed many.When I smell the fresh scent of the bread I know my toil was not in vain. March 2005Thu, 21 Apr 2005As a dart seeks its target I look for the truth and meaning of life. While one may fly a short distance and another may travel many miles, hopefully both will find the end they seek; truth today.Wed, 20 Apr 2005I stand alone on the dark ground, my brothers and sisters are placed next to me. As more and more family are added, our wall begins to be stronger. When the final course is laid on top, we will all be as one again. March 2005Tue, 19 Apr 2005Though my ribbons and medals may show where I have been, not one can talk and say what I have seen or done. Pain endured and help rendered, our ideals remain the same. We have a vow to uphold, remain strong and true; In the end we shall all be judged on our actions and deeds. March 2005Mon, 18 Apr 2005 As the clouds loom above I look forward to the showers that will follow. As spring arrives the flowers will awaken from their winter slumber and bless us all with their colors and scent of renewal.The dark grey granite wall looms above; should I try to overcome the obstacle or walk around it? Should I take on the challenge and fail it would not be in vain, it's better to try and fail than to just walk around the mountain.
Looking around the forest I see one majestic tree standing alone. It watches over the rest of us to keep us safe and warm. Let no harm come to my grove that I watch over.
As my thoughts run through a pen, water will continue to flow, hot or cold, dark or light, they must be let out. Should no one see the stream it still flows along its own path. Day and night it will persevere until it finds the lake where it can at last rest.
The dark grey clouds are approaching over the horizon, should we welcome the rain to feed the earth or seek shelter from the upcomming storm? As I stand in the field and watch, there shines a stream of light through the clouds. The warm rays of light slowly melt away the greyness. Leaves unfurl and animals come out of hiding to find the warmth. Together we all gather in the glade and rejoice. Another cycle has begin.
March 2005Sun, 17 Apr 2005 Was the duty that I was called upon to do worth the sacrifice I made? It matters not what I think, all I must do is obey my orders hope that the best I can do will help us all.Darkness has fallen around us, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. If we are strong and one, we can prevail over the darkness and see the light of day. Our light will shine again.
March 2005Sat, 16 Apr 2005 The demons beckon at night; when I awake in a cold sweat I expect them to go away but even in the morning's new light they persevere. A mighty battle continues, I seek to send them to the darkness and they try to break into the light. Hope and faith will keep them at bay so the sun will continue to shine.
March 2005Fri, 15 Apr 2005 The dragon soars above me, her talons reaching out for me, is she here to help or hurt me? I look into the dark eyes and decide my fate, she will help. I stand fast as she approaches with those large wings flapping and blowing in the soil around me. At last I stand in front of the beast, the only question I'm asked is "How may I help?" I ask for and am granted one boon; to travel with her to the land I still seek.-March 2005

The lone sparrow sails over the new spring grass, all I look for is food for my chicks. The sun is bright, the air is brisk; what a glorious day to sail above in the blue sky.A SHORT ROAD TRIP WalkAs the March showers fall to feed my flowers, so do my tears cleanse my soul. Renewal can be found in both.Wed, 13 Apr 2005As I look upon the rushing water I see an obstacle. With plants, animals & earth, I see the nourishment and renewal: Should we view the rapids of life as an obstacle or a challenge to be embraced, to help us grow anew with more strength and vitality Let us pass the rushing water and wander on the fresh meadow beyond.Mon, 11 Apr 2005No matter how high the mountain peaks may rise, the sun will shine above in the new morning, food to be found and peace of mind. It's time to wander the meadow of life and smell the flowers, should it rain, take solace that the flowers & trees will grow to feed us again. 2/1/2005Sun, 10 Apr 2005As I look out from the safty of my cave I wonder what beast I must face today. Food is scarce... I must forrage out and find it, weak of will & tired of hunger I must go. With no skins or weapons I must persevere. ca. 2/7/2005Thu, 07 Apr 2005My soul is strong & true, but yet my will fails me. How weak we can become at times. Look not for the clouds but search the sky that will shine above and bless us all with warmth again.Sun, 03 Apr 2005Today's sunlight shall fade and tomorrow's shadow will arrive. One light & one dark, who shall prevail? What a quandry we live with. A coin toss? A card draw? What is left? ONLY TO THYSELF BE TRUE! 1/24/2005Fri, 01 Apr 2005The farther I travel the clearer my path becomes, I must continue along this winding path until the desert finds an end. What shall happen when the path narrows and the end is near, light or dark no one can tell; Move forward & look not back, choices good or bad are predestined and made for reasons above us all. Learn to accept & not to try and change what must & will be.Wed, 30 Mar 2005As my clay bird takes sudden flight I pause, take aim, and fire. I hope my shot is true so I can score again. As I hope to be true with aim and time another bird has fallen.Tue, 29 Mar 2005As I lie here in the darkness my friends come to talk; "Come see the light" they say, but all I see are the dark clouds on the horizon. A welcome breeze may arrive soon and clear the clouds away, let the new light shine through. Goodnight my friends, I will see you another day.Sun, 27 Mar 2005The sea laps against my shore, the cool ocean breeze blows through my trees. Soon the rain will come and cleanse us all. I'm not an island of one, but one part of an island.As ashes fall upon my burdened shoulders, I struggle to go on, my journey is long. I must not fail, not for my weakness. I shed the ashes; walk tall with a mighty stride & finish the quest, for the ash is only as heavy as we let it be. ca. 2/7/2005
