Title:  My sister will always be

I was a little more than three
she was 4 years older than me.
Though I latched on and never let her free
my sister would always be.
Though I walked behind her home,
not far ahead she'd roam;
with a watchful eye she'd keep
my sister would always be.
In highschool days we'd seek
different groups of friends to keep.
Even though very different than me,
my sister would always be.
Wedding bells rang loud one day
then the miles between us lay.
Though her face i couldn't see
my sister would always be.
Two daughters of her own has she
one is now about age three.
She'll learn and grow and learn somehow
that her sister will always be.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Title:  A Beautiful Spirit

A Beautiful Spirit rejoices in individuality, rather than passing judgment.
Uses the gift of speech to heal, rather than to slay.
Seeks to correct failures, rather than criticizing them.
Offers forgiveness, rather than being poisoned with resentment.
Revels in the truth, rather than in duplicity.
Lives in harmony and connectedness with mankind,
rather than in isolation and removal from it.
Seeks to know, rather than condemning that which it does not.
Knows that in the end all Paths will converge into ONE...
rather than believing there is but one to walk.
Lives in harmony with the earth, water, air and beasts,
rather than living in ignorance of our codependency.
Believes that the best of some, truly exists within all, if it is only sought.
Knows that to truly live means to breathe deeply,
rather than to sigh shallowly.
A Beautiful Spirit exists within every creature upon the Earth....
to recognize that is to truly live.

Its not what we don't know that hurts.  It's what we know that ain't so.

Title: Being

Reaching gets you nowhere
Being only causes pain
But there's nothing but being you
or whether you want to be or not.
The real question is what to be -- be real
-- don't feel just be.
Being is a state of mind which causes much confusion
until you realize that being is natural
and to be thankful of who and what you are.
You are for a reason --and somewhere --somehow
you will find that reason
until you do
just being is enough.
