Something I've said many ways and many times, but I'll keep saying it, because there will always be people needing to hear it.

Compassion for the human animal, since most people love animals, like cats and/or dogs, I find it's a helpful analogy.

For instance if I say "I love dogs, unconditionally, passionately, I'm advocate for and…

About four years ago a guy I went to grade school with set a truck in front of his house on fire and waited for the authorities to arrive. When they did he shot and killed a policeman. There was a standoff until he set his house on fire and then killed himself. Good people wondered "Why would somebody do that ?" as good people do when something like that happens. This poem is an attempt to answer that question although Trent Reznor did a pretty good job with the song "Burn". As hard as I try…

As I sit here thinking I am brought into awareness of a thought.  That we must never forget who we are.

That we should never live too focused in physicality and materialistic needs and desires that we forget that we are so much more than the reality that we perceive.  That we should never live too focused in our energetic existence and spirituality that we…

A gentle touch against my cheek 

Sends a shiver down my spine. 

A breath, a whisper, 

the lightest touch of lips. 

His hand touches my hair 

and falls onto my shoulder. 

Is this really love? 



Oh how you make my soul soar, 

my spirit fly! 

My heart races like drums of old 

and the blood in my veins 

flows like a torrent 

around my body. 

Is this really love? 



You enter my being, my space. 

I feel safe and secure with…

The dark all encompassing -

Never moving, never shifting.

It permeated every cell

every breath.

She could feel the dark consume her

as flames consume dry wood.

She cried out - no sound.

She tried to move

but she was held still.

She looked at the images

flashing before her.

She recognised the faces

the things she saw

with a distant recognition.

She watched as one by…

Somehow my original post got deleted, so this is a re-post, unfortunately I had to make it less detailed than the original. It's also going to be a lot less fluid and with more typos... lol. But there you have it. Same basic concepts getting conveyed.. it's essentially a copy of a letter I sent to a friend here.

There are dark elements here, yes. There are people who identify with what are traditionally thought of by many as 'evil' or 'negative' forces. People who identify as…

If you've noticed a shift in my activity on the site, or are just getting a different vibe from me, you're not imagining it. Not unexpectedly to me, my health issues continue to slowly progress, and even though the changes are small, they add up.

My ability to read as much of what goes on on the site has been diminished, as has my ability to respond back. I'm still busy busy doing site related stuff happily all day long, but it's shifted to more of what I call 'mouse work' things I…

To have hope in your heart

can conquer all negative thoughts.

To feel joy at the song of a bird

is to lighten your soul.

To hear a child’s laughter

is as musical as a brook.

To have love in your life

is the most magical gift of all.

To share with a stranger

your innermost dreams,

that dear friend is a miracle.

How many of us have experienced a 'miracle'?  Many think they have to be a mind-blowing…

I close my eyes

to sleep, to dream.

My room is dark and still.

The curtains open,

the stars twinkling

in the black velvet

of the sky.



My soul leaves and

flies up to meet them.

I feel so at home

here among the 

heavenly bodies.

Home.



I look down to see

my loved ones 

sleeping peacefully,

dreaming thier dreams.

They are safe.

They are at peace.



I fly among the stars

with the…

   Dedicated to my old neighbor Sam who had no fewer than 100 images of Elvis and Jesus in his two-room apartment. When I introduced myself he said, "If you ever hear yelling next door it's just me arguing with God."

Would these people lie to us ???

Weight problems ? Here's the answer.

Cigarettes are good for your teeth as well.…

I had the strangest dream last night that actually entered into my reality.  Thats a new one on me!!  lol

Her head and heart could hear the call....a call to arms for all.

She looked and watched and waited

as she saw them one by one gather.

The circle grew and the sky darkened

as the numbers grew and the energy flowed.

So fast did the energy rise that it forms

a vortex, a whirlwind around them

and above them.

The fire glowed bright in the…

A Cautionary Tale

 …

Do you think it is possible for time to stand still?  Do you think it is possible to see beyond living things, to extend your senses?  I’d like to show you my garden and you see if you can see it too.

As I sit on the bench, I can feel the wooden planks under me and feel the roughness of the ornate iron work.  As I rub my hand over the roundness of the arm rest, my hand can feel the pitting of the rust that slowly over time, eats away at the metal.  It creeps slowly,…

As my body changes from mother to crone, I am noticing other changes in me.  Apart from the obvious ones we all know, I am also noticing that my sensitivity is increasing to energies around me.  My empath abilities seem to be increasing also.

I find my brain tends to be off doing something more important as I laughingly say if I have my absent-minded moments...and yet, I am aware of it being busy elsewhere on other levels!

The whole irregular sleep pattern/insomnia is also…
