The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

The gift of friendship, and good memories...this late bloomer knows the water of life flows like the river.
Gather ye rose buds while ye may,
goodtimes are a flying, and this same rose that blooms today, tomarrow will be a dieing.
Or something like that.
This an't no dress rehersal.
If you could go anywhere in the world for a week or more.
Where would you go?
What would you do?
What would you want to see?
I wan't to go to Scotland, walk the highlands. Listen voices and the rhythem of the way the people speak there.
Learn some German in Germany. Learn some Spanish in Spain, or South America.
In the mean time, I'm learning how to spell. I know how to chop wood, eat only when I'm hungery, and live on almost nothing.
I'm still learning not to judge people by the way they look, dress, etc. Whats inside is whats important. Trust is important, careing is important, knowing we're dieing and time is running right alongside us is important.
We are spirits having a human experance...I want to enjoy every minute to the fullest, grow old and die when I'm good and ready.
Being blessed in so many ways is a blessing in its self.
I drank to much coffee this morning and have vocal dieareeea.
More than you wanted know?
Are you smiling?
