The longing to know, The longing to see
Whatever the mind and heart can be

Its there waiting to unfold,  the yearnings, learnings all untold...

    The mysteries and myths the truth and the lies all waiting for another sunrise.

Excerpt -The Heart of Understanding

"I asked the leaf whether it was scared because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling.  The leaf told me, "No. During the whole spring and summer I was alive.  I worked hard and helped nourish the tree and much of me is in the tree.  Please do not say that I am just this form, because the form of the leaf is only a tiny part of me, I am the whole tree and when I go back to the soil, I will  continue to nourish the tree.  That is why I do not worry.  As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her "I will see you again very soon".....

We truly have so much to learn from the leaf, It gave off itself  and got joy from the sharing and knew that nothing can be born and nothing can die but the circle of life continues and lives on forever.

My art when reading.....

And so did I continue what had begun,
To read, draw and colour, the learning was fun
A passion it is with me now that I see
Never a day does pass with out Thay and me!
His books are amazing awsome uber cool!
They tell you  about life in straight simple words like you learn at school
Breathing and Mindfulness they go hand  in hand
Living in the moment helps one understand.
Buddha gave us alot, through all his leanings
ThichNhat Hanh has it all in his writings and sharing
I have lived through The Path of Emancipation,
Buddha Body, Buddha Mind  was my next decision
Under the Banyan Tree was next
The Art of Power is profound, sweet and simple text
Have finished The Long road turns to joy .
Now am Digging into The Stone Boy
Next in Line is The Sun my Heart
Followed by Living Buddha Living Christ,

Will then move on to Interbeing

My wish list will be complete once I find

Miracles of Mindfulness.... to satiate my mind.

My reading spree

It all began with Old path White cloud
I read and could not put the book down
So well was it worded, I didnt miss a line
When I finished reading it I felt the divine!
A clown feels , together, Happy and sad .....
Happy to learn and sad to release
The book  I had carried for quite sometime
It  made me feel calm and gave me ease!

Fruits

Fruits I did paint....
Fruits now do I see
Coz now I do work for Fruit of the Loom
A very Good, The best Company!

Fruitful is life
With me you will agree
As you sow so you reap
Varying in degree.

Life is worthwhile
As fruits do the trick
They colour your life
A fruit diet will ne'r make you sick

So heres to the Fruits
That have happened in my life
Red Yellow Brown and Green
The sweet sour, raw and ripe!

Our Star now in Heaven

There’s one more star in heaven

Which shines her smile on earth
Its not been long since she's been there
And we here know her worth.

This star first shone amongst us
But we did not know her season
22 years was too short a stay
Only our Maker has his reason.

This star now shines in heaven,
For all the world to see
Before sheleft this earthly abode
She lived with you and me.
 
So many stars shinning up there
in the celestial glow
Those stars all dazzle us now
as we look up from below.
 
Stars bright shine your light
on those you love below
Flicker, sparkle shine real bright
Set the heavens aglow!
