The Ghost
Awakened by the sounds once more.
The ghost that reside within these walls.
Not to be silenced nor hushed.
To laugh, to drink, to dance once more.
I lay very still. Willing them to go away.
But their presence calls.
Not willing to remain in their graves this day.
To all that know of me I live alone.
But the ghost their still here.
I keep them alive.
As if they were never gone.
The ghost that reside within these walls.
Not to be silenced nor hushed.
To laugh, to drink, to dance once more.
I lay very still. Willing them to go away.
But their presence calls.
Not willing to remain in their graves this day.
To all that know of me I live alone.
But the ghost their still here.
I keep them alive.
As if they were never gone.

The Two Wolves
A Cherokee elder was teaching his grandchildren about life.
He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me" it is a terrible fight between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, hatefulness, and lies.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, humbleness, kindness, friendship, generosity, faith, and truth.
This same fight is going on inside of you, and inside every other person, too.”
The children thought about it for a minute. Then one child asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The Cherokee elder replied"
"The one you feed."
---Happy New Year friend. ;-)
Willing them to go away while at the same time keep them alive makes for a restless night. To laugh, to drink, to dance once more is for the living. May the ghost be friendly and release the sleeper, rested, laughing and dancing, safely into the light of day.
everything and out minds often go places we dont
really direct it. As long as we don't dwell in a
such illusions.
