Today we have a right to 'vote'.........God help us all......

TODAY IS ELECTION DAY!  MY, MY, HOW DIFFERENT THIS ELECTION IS COMPARED TO ANY, EVER BEFORE!  Of course, only 'HUMANS' can vote.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if 'humans' could be more 'united'?    
Perhaps, sharing a little of 'nature' in the mix of things will bring a smile or two.   

I usually do not write, speak and/or even share about politics.  I do not like any part of them.
Wow, how times have changed from years ago in how 'politics'/'elections' are viewed, handled
and are represented FOR THE GOOD OF OUR U.S.A .  

Today, I have chosen to say one thing.  Regardless of any ones' 'opinion', 'belief' and 'right';
that person 'owns' it.  So, depending on how 'ANY PERSON' has chosen to exercise 'their right',

in my opinion; 'their space' should be respected..  NOBODY HAS 'A RIGHT' to condemn, judge,
act out in any harmful way. 

I feel the same about one's belief, as well.  It is so comforting to know that what other people think isn't 'any of my business'.  What a 'freeing feeling'.  I can say that this is a place that has taken me years to arrive to. 

As I woke this morning, I thought, "Wow, God sure has a busy day TODAY!"  And, on second thought, I thought, No, He doesn't; He already knows His people in every way.  He sees and He  knows the bigger picture.  Plus, He has given His people the 'free will' to choose their 'right to vote'.  It is time for 'the  people' to act out 'their belief/right/opinion through this 'voting process'.  

The days that follow into years to come, long after 'my generation' has passed, will have a lingering effect of today's election.  

May each person that chooses to vote to the persons that have chosen 'not to vote'; may ALL have made their 'decision' based with worthwhile thought and prayer for the 'right and real reasons'; 'FOR THE GOOD OF OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, and the entire USA.'

Until next time.
God Bless

'A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY'

                                                     

            'A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY' 

TODAY IS A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY,
RADIANT IN MANY COLORS OF ORANGE.
THE SOUNDS OF CROWS' CAW, CAWING,
A SENSE OF NOTHING COULD GO WRONG.

IN THE SOUNDS OF GOD'S 'FREE AND LOVING CREATURES'.
ONE CAN STILL HEAR THE STILLNESS AND CALM. 
THIS TAKES ONE'S BREATH IN 'AN AWE' OF BEAUTY
OF THIS MIRACLE IN TODAY'S DAWN.

THERE IS A 'REASON FOR EVERY SEASON'.
'FALL' IS FULL OF BEAUTY IN COLORS OF RED, YELLOW, ORANGE AND BROWNS.
THE CRISP SNAP OF LEAVES AND THE CHILL OF THE BREEZE
BRINGS FORTH 'THANKFULNESS' THAT IS DISCERNIBLY FOUND. 

THE VERY NEXT MORNING SOMEWAY, SOMEHOW,
THE SAME THING WILL APPEAR BY 'HIS GRACE'.
AS THE NIGHT IS TUCKED AWAY, ONCE AGAIN, INTO  DARKNESS,
ANOTHER INFINITE BEAUTY WILL UNFOLD TO TAKE ITS' PLACE.

until next time

'The Family of the Heart'

                             'The Family of the Heart'

The 'Family of the Heart' includes all people

that stand in a loving relationship to one another. 

Where care, concern, communication, hope and love is an art,

that becomes 'a way of life' to our sisters and brothers.

Plus, when we live consciously and grant freedom, equally, to all people,

as we would wish for ourselves to receive,

to hear with our hearts and not our ears only,

with a willingness and compassion to perceive.

It is in the small things done with full-hearted concentration

that we 'find freedom' and 'feel peace' and 'love'.

A way of bonding with each other is woven

that allows the spirit to flow from above. 

Also, when we truly love our neighbor as ourselves,

we 'are offering' every action to be something beautiful and kind.

The 'family of the heart' permits reverence in all of life relationships

for the joining of hearts and minds.

There is no value in pain and confusion as one might think.

The value lies in the rearrangement of the elements

that will lead to clearer vision for all.

This is 'a process' to 'channel our energy into love' for access to 'the real'

that 'keeps us on purpose', of our 'destiny call'. 

The 'awareness of unknowing', creates 'hope' and 'faith' in life itself.

We all sense the mystery and wonderment of life. 

Less we have no risk, grief, pain, nor loss,

it would take away the 'teachers of strife'. 

As we listen with 'our hearts', we can discern 'a higher power' presence,

affording strength to carry us far.

This opens the channels for 'healing and wholeness',

to unfold to 'all people' today and all of our tomorrows.
