My Soul on canvas, "Pictorial Prose": Thank You

Thank You

I was careless and did not wear my safety glasses while mixing soap. Stupid on my part as I know the seriousness of a lye burn. I won't be on much this weekend, need to give the eye a rest as it heals. I will be leaving Monday for South Carolina and won't be back till the following week.My son is graduating the Marine corps boot camp and I am looking forward to being a part of it. His maturity is seen in the many letters he has sent me I am proud to say that Nicholas is my son and that I am honored in every way to be his mother. So I hope you all keep in your prayers the men and women of the military who insure our rights to freedom and that includes blogging.

I appreciate those who read on a regular basis and those who feel free to comment and email me. I love poetry and its ability to take a small moment blend it with reality and fantasy to create an escape that to me is comforting. I am amazed at those who finds some amount of joy in reading my escape or is it my declaration of love, for I have loved and I love and I feel that love returned ten fold.

I have written for years and so if you haven't gone through the archives, feel free to do so. I believe there is power in holding the positive in your heart and not allowing negativity a hold . On a scale of 1 to 10 life is a ten, it doesn't mean we don't have struggles by all means struggles are what takes us to another plateau.

I don't want to get all emotional and cry here or I'll have to change my eye patch. I just want to say thank you, thank you for being my angel.

I have something I want to share with you, maybe your son might like it.
It was a poem that was written by Mother Teresa and I read it every day and find it to be so beautiful.
Here it is ...

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is beauty, admire it
Life is bliss, taste it
Life is a dream, realize it
Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is a duty, complete it
Life is a game, play it
Life is costly , care for it
Life is wealth, keep it
Life is love, enjoy it
Life is a mystery, know it
Life is a promise, fulfill it
Life is sorrow, overcome it
Life is a song, sing it
Life is a struggle, accept it
Life is a tragedy, confront it
Life is an adventure, dare it
Life is luck, make it
Life is too precious, do not destroy it
Life is life, fight for it!

Isn't that lovely!

Well, a busy day ahead of me.
Take good care.

Please give your son my congratulations on his graduation and my best wishes for a wonderful life ahead of him!

As always

Rachel C Miller said...: Hi Margie,
I beat the sun up this morning and taking the time to finish up on packing and the mixing of a few last minute products.
Thank you for all your comments and the sharing of your story of your husband and yourself. It is true that the men and women of the military put themselves in danger all the time, even when it is not high publicized by the media. They do work to keep us safe. In reality
the forces of good and evil are always doing battle and as sad as that is you can only that good reigns and our children and children's will find a better and safer future because of those who were willing to give of their time and life.
I also wanted to thank you for your concern,I have been careless trying to get so much work done on the soaps before I leave and that is no excuse for not being responsible in the safety dept. The eye is healing amazingly well, that it even surprises me from one day to the next how much swelling has come down.
I also appreciate the well wishes for travel, it is a good many hours over the road but definitely worth it as I have been imagining the changes in my son and can't wait to see him. I am proud of him and his choice to serve our country.

I am happy that you find time to read and enjoy some of my writing. I figure there is a enough negativity in the world the escape into the world of poetry is for me a place of peace.

Sincerely

Light Up The Cloud

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your heart to mine,
rhythmic they beat,
spinning in circles
to memories.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Stars above us,
in the night of calm,
where we dance as one
all night long.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Your lips of sweet,
pressed gently to mine,
sharing a moment
please stand still time.

Light up the cloud,
the dance floor is ours,
if only to hold you
for a little while.

Not Only in My Dreams

Singing>I wanna hold you forever, I wanna make dreams come true.I wanna love you like no other and make you love me to.Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no! I wanna create our eternity, where you are holding me.

I wanna feel you inside me, I wanna dance the night away.I wanna make you need me .... the way that I need you....Not only in my dreams....no! no! Not only for a day, no! no!. I wanna create our eternity , where you are holding on to me.

Not only in my dreamssss

Soul Mates

Most people relate to the study of Greek mythology, the magical stories of the heavens and the gods that ruled them. Zeus the God of Gods, ruler of the universe struck bolts of thunder down upon mortal man. The myth that humans were combined of four arms and four legs and a single head made of two faces which struck fear into the Gods, caused Zeus to split them in half. Zeus Condemned split souls to spend eternity searching for the other half that would complete them giving them the energy and power.
In our modern day era there is all kinds of talk of searching for soul mates, a loosely used term for finding the person who has the perfect fit. Soul mates could be defined as very dear friends who have a strong bond, two people who walk in harmony, a life lasting connection, spiritual companions, twin flames that burn as one, one that has an extreme , positive influence over another or in a more romantic way some have referred to soul mates as the reuniting of
split souls.
There is no doubt in my mind that an energy does exist between people, on a scientific note, they would break it down to mere adrenaline. I believe soul mates are much deeper, it is the equilibrium that causes an inner balance of happiness.
In our society there are the expected norms, dating marriage, love an life that we are somehow predestined to perform. As you look around you find that rarely do people find such a perfection connection. In my mind is a view of all the perfect weddings that I had attended to find that very few lasted the miles.
In the bonding of a soul mate, both must be standing on common ground, that which feels comfortable and in a state of normalcy. Each knows the others moments of weakness as well as days of strength and brings out the best in all situations. The positive cognation from one partner to the next creates a platform of encouragement, promoting one to strive for better, to create a desire.
In a bond of two inner spirits there is no demand set upon the souls, but an understanding that speaks without words. Emotions rise up from the flames to possess the energy of desire and create lasting moments that lift and bond two into one.
What is the possibility that two people will find such a positive energy of attraction, both in the spiritual and physical sense? I can address no formal number to the combination of a puzzle that interlocks two souls.
Do I believe soul mates exist? I in every sense of the word believe there is a connection from one human to another that is above the normal expectation. The interaction of souls is rare and gifted with trust, respect, faith and love. The crucial ingredients must be met with self first before they can be shared with another human being. Standing at the gateway of self respect, allow faith and the trust in oneself guide you to Love.
