I hear the shots, bang, bang, bang!!!
I hear the cries of despair
I taste the salty tears falling from my eyes,
Instinctively knowing…
Another mother ‘s son has fallen today
Such a rainy, gloomy day…
Through my teary, blurred vision
I see the orchards in bloom;
Such vibrant colors,
So mystically beautiful
So miraculously peaceful
I suck a sweet honeysuckle,
arousing my senses…
mouthwatering, leaving me wanting more…
such sensuous fragrance…
Tempting me to lie down in the grass
Until late afternoon
To bathe in the warm rain,
and listen to its rhythm so perfectly peaceful;,
no man can compose the rain symphony
And in this bounty of priceless love gifts,
Among the anquish of senseless violence and destruction..
Stands a single red velvet rose. . .
Creation among Destruction…
I look up to see an expectant mother
Hurriedly being pushed into an ambulance
Instinctively, I know she will soon hold
The joy of her life…
And I wonder…
How can we deny unconditional love
When even in the mist of chaos…
Perfection evolves, and Love endures?

More on Colors. . .Just in Case You Didn’t Know. . . 
Almost all visible colors can be obtained by the additive color mixing of three colors that are in widely spaced regions of the visible spectrum. If the three colors of light can be mixed to produce white, they are called primary colors and the standard additive primary colors are red, green and blue.
Two colors that produce white when added together are called complementary. The color complementary to a primary color is called a secondary color. The complementary or secondary colors for red, green and blue are cyan, magenta and yellow respectively. These three colors are often referred to as the subtractive primary colors. When the three are combined in subtractive color mixing, they produce black.
Peace, Light and Love. . . C.

He was sinfully proud of her beauty
Her complexion and velvety touch brought him immense joy
On occasions he’d simply watch her with passion;
Delicately caressing her softness…
To keep her closer, he removed her from her essense.
Inevitiably, she withered away.
Thus, he lost not only his pride; but also his joy;
the Rose.
Written by CordieB.
Quote for the Day: If you allow pride to cause you to cut your rose from its root, you’re bound to lose not only your pride, but more sadly your joy. ~CordieB.

No, I can’t see the wind. . .
but I can feel her chill down to my bones..
I can feel her warmth as she comforts my soul…
I see the effects of his force as he bristles over infinite blades of grass;
Each blade dancing individually, yet collectively to the wind’s sweet song. . .
I can see the magnitude of his majesty as the tree branches sway, too and fro…
No. I must admit, I have never seen the wind. . .
Yet, I can see how she touches all and everything…
in unison. . .still, independently…
I have seen how she has changed whole landscapes in seconds…
I have witnesses her bring the 200 year old mighty oak to the ground…
I watch her invisible force lift vast oceans onto shores…
I have witnesses her carry a kite into the glimpse of the sun
She gently lifts the sparrow into graceful flight….
He gently runs his fingers through the strands of my hair…
I feel his gentle touch caress my skin…
And. . . there are times when he simply takes my breath away…
Alas, I am but a feather in the wind…
she picks me up and takes me on many experiences,
then she gently lands me on the bountiful land
No. I confess, I have yet to see the wind. . . himself…
But I feel his effects each moment I live. . .
I feel his presence…omnipotent…
I know his power … and his grace…
and I am ever so grateful for the wind….
I shall forever love the wind. . .

- In life, pain is inevitable, the suffering is optional… by tapperboy
What Is, Is.
The nature of my blog tags often draws individuals who are spiritual, deep, and quite inspiring; but on that same token, it also draws many individuals who are searching, depressed, and looking for light in the depths of their perceived darkness. I’m emphathetic to all of these emotions, as I too have experienced most of the feelings I often see on many of my fellow blogger’s pages and comments.
Often, I see personality traits that lean toward the inspiring, enlightened, and enthusiastic about all of life. The sky could be very well be falling, yet these individuals will see the positive in such.
But there are often times where I see personalities that lean towards the darkness, the depression, the truely pessimistic approach towards most of life’s issues. I often want to simply hold these individuals up and let them know that all will truely be ok. I sometimes do not understand why it is that they do not see that this too shall pass. . .
But, in the interim, I am reminded, that we are all individuals with different experiences, and our experiences form many of our perceptions.
And so, for today . . . I will simply deal with the present moment. Because, what is is. How I deal with the What Is is a reflection of how I feel about my self at this very moment. There are times when I choose to look for the possibilities…it is where dreams are manifested…but it is also where nightmares are manifested…depending on my frame of mind at the time.
I often wonder what it is about us that determines what we lean more toward. There are truely those who relish the darker side of life. The darkness, depression, and sadness, gives them a certain melancholy of life noir that makes life more interesting for them. Then, there are those who truely relish the light. These are the optimist…those who see the rainbow after the storm, the light at the end of the tunnel–all the time.
But in reality, life is filled with ups and downs. We will have our good moments and our not so good moments. But as human beings, I feel we must strive to endure with a sense of love for life…no matter the circumstances. Our love for life must reflect love for all life. . . so that life will continue for all. You see, what is, is. But if we look around us and take in more of the other is’s other than what is in our own mind, we might begin to see What Is in a different light.
Look at nature today, nature Is. Feel the warmth of the sun today, the sun Is. Gaze at the stars tonight, the stars Are. Watch the moon tonight, the moon Is. Examine individuals walking, talking, whispering. . . come out side of self for a moment today to truely experience What Is. Experience the allness of allness. Experience life as if you were God overseeing all creation. . . listen to the small sounds of the small animals. Look at the blade of grass sway in the wind. Take a closer look at what really Is. . . it may give you a perspective about life you never really gave thought to before. You may come to the realization that life Is. . . . forever changing!

God is Real
The sweetest honey to the brightest flower
The largest planet to the smallest atom
Snowflakes and the bird kingdom
Smaller thatn the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive
Heard a man on the radio today
(spoken)i mean I’m not going to believe in anything that I can’t see and i’ve
Been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life
Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say
How he could he not believe that God is real
I don’t understand how
He could feel that way
When there’s earth, air, water, and fire
So many different flowers
Sunshine and rain showers
So many different crystals
And hills and volcanoes
That’s how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
That’s how I know that God is real
In st. lucia I jumped in the water
(spoken)it was like I was seeing it for the first time. it literally changed
My life.
For the first time I understood it’s power
As I swam I was cleansed
If I had any doubts
This experience cleared them
Now I know for sure that God is real
I know that it’s the truth
By the way it feels
Cause I saw starfish and sponges
Fish shaped like trumpets
So many different colors
I stayed out there for hours and I only saw a fraction of a fraction of the
Deepest of the deep of the great blue wide
It brought a tear to my eye
That’s how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
We’re made of the same stuff
As the moon and the stars
The oceans saltwater just like my tears are
You feel me
The sunrises and sets everyday without fail
That’s how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That’s how I know that God is real
