Nature's Colors: Perfectly Matched!

Do you see...
The birds seemed to be perched
Where the colors are matched...
Perfectly!!!



The Robin

Downy Wood-Pecker

The Hawk


The Pigeon

A Sparrow?




Do you see
How magnificent... our Creator IS?



*You should read Oprah's 2010- March issue of 'O' magazine where she writes in AWE of Nature; she is truly Blessed to have touched that realm of O' (AWE) moment!!!

Non-Violence: Dr. Martin Luther King's Voice Resonates

"I Have A Dream"

King's "voice for the oppressed" still resonates...

As a beacon of hope

-in the hearts of the oppressed-

Around the world.



The King's voice resonated

Upholding Mahathma Gandhi's

Non-violence principle

Noble Peace prize endowed!


Dr. King's Voice still resonates...
"We shall have to repent in this generation,
not so much for the evil deeds of the wicked people, but
for the appalling silence of the GOOD people."

Let US raise our VOICE for PEACE...
Let it resonate around the WORLD!

Upholding non-violence-and
RIGHTS for the Oppressed
Onward in Dr. King's Dream-with
Obama's Noble PEACE prize...
Let US VOICE for non-violence
Justice to resolve oppression-and
Let PEACE resonate around the world!!!

May PEACE & NON-VIOLENCE Resonate Around the WORLD!

P.S._
During the holidays, I enjoyed reading "The Wits & Wisdom of Benjamin Franklin" by Barnes & Nobles.

" Who is wise?
He that learns from everyone.
Who is powerful?
He that governs his passions.
Who is rich?
He that is content.
Who is that?
Nobody."

Such a wise quote---kind of teasing & challenging---I had to share with you! I am sure we are up to the challenge!

Present at Christmas!


Present at Christmas!

Christmas is near
Chores abound to bare
Greetings to be mailed
Ginger bread & candies made
Presents bought in spree- and
Placed under the tree!


What would you
Want for Christmas?
Plenty of Gold... A
Planet. A star?
Wrapped, trimmed and
Placed under the tree?


Christmas is here-but
All I want Dear... is
YOU be Present home
Warming your mother's
Heart, while presents are
Placed under the tree!


What more would I...
Want for Christmas?
A star... of course
A shining ray from- The
Prince of Peace
Placed in my heart!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!


For the welcoming smile
Deep from the heart-an
Extended hand of Friendship
A word of kindness-silent
Moments of understanding-or
Hours of happy chatting
For all that we share
Big or small-I am
So very THANKFUL!

For the sparks you bring
Brightening my days-and
The blessing you are...
Wise and resourceful-A
Teacher, a leader, a friend-or
A child, young and joyful...
In your own way
You make my life
A blissful one, Thank YOU!
