... Dance slow...
this poem is written by alittle girl of 6 , who has cancer and has just 6 months to live..please pass it on and say a prayer for her
.. Dance Slow..
Have you ever
watched
kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to
the
rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the
fading
night?
You better slow down.
Don't
dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music
won't
last.
Do you run through each day
On
the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear
the
reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie
in your
bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better
slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is
short.
The music won't
last.
Ever told your
child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your
haste,
Not see
his sorrow?
Ever lost
touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you
never had time
To call
and say,'Hi'
You'd
better slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time
is short.
The music won't
last.
When you run
so fast to get somewhere
You
miss half the fun of getting
there.
When you worry and hurry
through your
day,
It is like an unopened
gift....
Thrown
away.
Life is not a
race.
Do take it
slower
Hear the
music..
Before the song is
over.

My Angel
If not all angels have wings,
If not all angels are saints,
Would you be mine
And carry me to the light?
You're the most beautiful stranger
The most saintly creature
Everything I wish I could be,
But I never got my wings,
Never got my chance,
Never found my strength.
A being of innocence,
Just looking for trouble,
For anything out of the ordinary,
Out of your ordinary,
Different from your perfect life
One worthy of envy, but sure
Despite what everyone seems to think,
You, like all of us, are human
You feel, sadness, pain, happiness,
Everything we feel,
Yet people hold you up so high
Like some kind of god
Like an angel without wings.

Impossible Love
I love you but do you love me? I want you but do you want me?
Is this an impossible love, I asked myself and I took it to meditation and there I saw a flower that was dying of thirst, I saw a dark sky with not even a star, a desert with no water or life. And I thought: Love is like this flower that dies if not given to drink or like this night so dark where one cannot find the path because there is not even a star to guide. It can even be worse, like a desert with everything dead and where nobody can survive. Could it be that love is impossible? Then, a light came near me and without words said without saying:
” Love is so primordial and fundamental that existed before any being was born.”
Then, that light took me to see that the flower would die for lack of water and the light said without saying a word: ” Love is like that flower, if you don’t give it to drink, if you don’t take good care, if you don’t appreciate, then it will die for sure, but look, even if that flower dies, its essence will not die.” Then, I saw the dead flower but flying on top, I saw a beautiful and colorful flower, with bright colors and transmitting happiness.
Then, the light said without words:
“Now you can see its essence, which by being essence is sustained by a superior power which is more real now and death has not any power here. You saw the dark night with no stars but the next morning the sun will shine and there will be no darkness; you saw that desert where nothing could survive but if you travel beyond, there will be a rich and abundant oasis.
The impossible love does not exist because it will always be possible, it might not accept you, it might refuse, ignore, despise you. Nevertheless if it is true love it will be like the essence of the flower and nothing can extinguish it, nothing can ends it, nobody can humiliate it because love, love is eternal and there is no impossible because love is beyond the world and for that reason it is not ruled by its laws; love is beyond the answer, that love is free, pure, because in order to love is only necessary to Love.”

Criteria
I really appreciate all the emails and flowers. Some of the individuals sending me emails do not meet my criteria I've placed on my profile. Which tells me they're not really reading my profile. I have no attraction for younger or older men - I'm looking for closeness in age and someone that will fit what I'm looking for. Keep reading.
I have a huge issue with age. Many people will say it's only a number. That's wonderful you feel that way...but, you can't convince me otherwise to think in this manner. I would not and will not date someone that is even 2 years younger than me and no more than 4-5 years older than me (unless he's serious, has kids, lives within a reasonable distance and I'm attracted to him). I'm not looking to hook up.
I'm looking for my likeness. A clone of myself, if you will, in personality, morals, values, beliefs and I HAVE to be attracted to him. I get the same resonponses everytime - so save your breath. "You'll never find him! You're asking too much" etc, etc. But, you have to realize something. Even though you might be thinking that, that would be unfair to me - because, you're actually saying that I should settle for someone I wouldn't be happy with. If you think my criteria is too high - you should hope that I find him. Or, perhaps you're upset at me because you don't happen to fall in my criteria and you feel that's unfair? I apologize for liking what I like. Real love connections don't happen all the time.
Attraction is a must. Even though I know beauty fades, I want to be able to have that person for as long as I can have them for. Until that beauty turns to wrinkles and old bones.
I'm looking for Assortative Mating...you should look it up.
Being attracted to "him" would be the cat's meow.
Good luck in your search!

The Revelation of the Secret of Happiness
While meditating, I wanted to know who was happiest on earth and I had the vision of traveling to different places and for some reason, I found myself at a mansion, a house of many rooms; this house did not lack anything but had everything modern and in abundance. Then, I could feel the hearts of the persons, the owner of the house wanted more wealth and I could see that he was hardly home, he traveled a lot, looking for something more and his mind was busy in reaching fame and fortune. I could also see that the lady of the house, enjoyed of gatherings and her main worry was not about the reunions but about the clothes that she would wear and how the others would see her. She needed to show her power and control.
I also saw the heart of the children, they hardly knew their parents, they were addicted to buying and using new things and then, they would feel very bored and they felt Jeaoulosy among themselves.
I left the house while thinking that it was good that they were successful but there was something about them that did not seem that good since they were always unsatisfied, looking for something more and they were never happy.
Then, I went to the other side of the city and found myself in something that was almost like a house, it seemed very poor and there was a family inside, they were together and were eating; and the father was saying:
“Let’s give thanks to God for our health, for been together, sharing this food.”
I saw that their food was simple, there was no abundance, only what was needed. I could also see the hearts of the members of the family, where a light was shining. And I asked the light: “Who are you? I can see that this family has peace and unity.” And the light answered:
” They also have joy and faith.”
“How is that possible?” I asked. And the light said:
“You will not be able to see their wealth with your eyes, but you will feel it and you will understand the wealth in them because they accept themselves, they make the effort and with natural humility, they value and feel grateful for what they have, then, they have more than wealth, they have the revelation of the secret of Happiness.”
And I kept listening in my heart:
“To accept, to appreciate, to be grateful”
Then, I understood, who was happiest on earth.

Reflection
We find Envy contemplating the light, while thinking: “I am better, more brilliant, with more brightness. Darkness is what dominates since it is a superior light.” And a compassionate Kindness approached and said: ” You do have light but it is neither of shadows nor of darkness, look inside you. And Envy said: ” You speak to me in riddles, wanting to confuse me since you only want to refer to that light that you called inner light. I will tell you that I only know the shadows as brightness.”
And Kindness replied with sublime compassion: ” My words are said not to confuse you but to make you understand. I want you to see the reality for a moment. Nobody wants to afflict you. On the contrary, we want you to see the true light.”
And she repeated: ” Look inside you, then.”
And Envy replied: ” I only see horror inside. The horror of seeing you walking high, so high that I cannot reach you; and this is the reason that I do not want to look at you.” and Kindness said again: ” Try just for a moment. Put aside every concept and idea. Just look inside you and do not judge, do not criticize. And a flower will be born there which is the true light. I do not want to contend with anybody, but rather to share something more than the wisdom, the essence of Love.”
Therefore, Envy, like trying to show off, looked inside and was instantly transformed, because Kindness won her heart and transformed her into the Inner Soul.

Traveling down the memory lane
Today will be a memory
yesterday is a memory drifting away
memories turn into tears,
tearing me apart.
Traveling down the memory lane
is all black 'n white.
Traveling down the memory lane
with my eyes filled with tears.
You are but a memory
that never dwindles
And fail to vanish as each day passes me by.
I huddle in my room and cry.
I am Traveling down the memory lane
is full of curves and bends.
Traveling down the memory lane
is a test of time and mind
it seems just like yesterday you left
my heart can still feel the pain
Taking a walk on memory lane
is where I want you to come along
still cry at night
as i think of the past
of all the memories we had
even the ones that were once so faint
they stand out more than ever.
Taking a walk on memory lane
I have no fear as I have lost all
Taking a walk on memory lane
where we belonged.

Stumble.
Step forward
Once, twice, fall,
Pick myself up, keep on
Every fall leaves a bruise
Every heartbreak leaves a mark
Every lie leaves a scar
Every rejection makes me sick
To my stomach,
What is it now, what's the problem?
I won't ask questions
About myself, what's wrong with me
No answers, no truth, no honesty
What is it you don't see
What is it wrong with me
Wrong enough,
Bad enough that you can't love me for me
Not the image but the mind
What's hidden behind
What I see in the mirror,
All the bruises
All the marks
All the scars,
Make me wonder,
Is this search worth the wait?
Is this process worth the ache?
Is looking for love worth the pain?
Or should I just give it up?
Step forward,
