Hello
No longer a student at college but still performing independent study.
if love makes the world go round we need to love a lot more otherwise we shall fall off the edge...
Now may 2009 and my life continues to change..
Change is vital to our progress otherwise we atrophy.
More below concerning change.
The candle represents peace.
Many thanks to the kind people that responded positively to my candle.
People ask what do I study...answer....the art of writing ... in the past I have studied graphic design and I enjoy all aspects of art...like to experiment with painting techniques, something i touched on when doing the graphics.
the photograph is now up to date
i wrote this poem, snowflakes, some years ago for a friend... it has been published several times and many copies have been given to people
may it bring you joy, peace and hope.
They fall to earth and kiss the ground
Each one unlike it's neighbour
But together they have strength
Now let me beg a favour.
As on your way you travel,
With heavy heart perhaps.
Remember friends, like snowflakes
Can lift you when you lapse
For there is strength in unity
It does not think of pride
It only looks to love and care
It does not cast aside
Keep contact then with those who care
And those who do and those who dare
Keep in your heart those cherished dreams
Life will not burst out at the seams
Go on dreaming
Learn to achieve
What is right
Go on believe
Believe in love and care and trust
And in your self, that is a must
Believe in truth and unity
Believe for you and not for me.
[1998]
Enjoy life and be kind to
to one another.
CHANGE.
My life has changed over the years due to meeting some very special people. Two long time florker friends have often helped me when i have been in need of support. Thanks Jack and Jeff. My most recent florker friend has blown my mind. He has challenged my thinking, excited my wish to write anew and my thanks go to him for enthusing me with a fresh outlook.
the 'special guy' that asked me to marry him ... turned out not so special after all while the others remain ... for a great outlook on life do read the profile of a young lady whos words are gold in a barren land ... ashli terror ... 'let no one look down on your youth' [paraphrase] paul to timothy ...
LONG MAY FLORK CONTINUE.
in my kitchen one day it occured to me ...
In order to benefit from life you must live it.
It is not possible to benefit from an empty cup, plate or bowl.
To receive sustenance you must first put something into it.
Therefore
Fill up your bowl of life
Fill it with love and laughter.
Make challenges out of strife,
Improve your future here after.
For life lacking challenge
Is not life at all
But a slow and laborious journey.
Better to do and better to dare
Than wallow in pity
For none will then care.
Your presence may be a bonus to all
If you lift them up when they head for a fall.
But if you are the one that caused them to trip
When you start to go then they might let you slip,
So down you will go with a mighty big bump
And no one will notice ‘cos you gave them the hump.
So smile at the troubles that hinder your way,
Then wave them farewell and bid them good day |
