And a group of financial experts is called: A WUNCH OF BANKERS!!
Note: [‘I love you…’, All gurus, all religions, all of the spiritual paths tell us that this is the most transformative phrase in the universe… Why then do we not use it every chance we get? Recently, I came across a group of people who live, and I mean really live this dictum, I love you… They end their emails and telephone conversations with it, they hug and kiss strangers and tell them, I love you… I promise you, I’ll never forget the first time a guy said ‘I love you’ to me, and even more amazing, was that I reciprocated and meant it… Wow, what an unparalleled experience… I still find it very hard to say ‘I love you’ to a guy…, but, I’m practicing… I am Hellene(Greek), but born and bred outside of Hellas(Greece), I will never forget the first time a male fellow-Hellene kissed me on both cheeks as he greeted me, I broke out in an embarrassed cold sweat, it was always a warm glow and sheen, though, when an attractive young female Hellene greeted me that way…, so, yes, the concept is ancient, but, there’s something dramatically different about the way this group I referred to, does it. They do it from a place deep inside themselves, a place which recognizes that we’re all One! Further, they’ve come to this after a lot of study, meditation and discussion… And, no, they’re not the hippies and flower children of yesteryear constantly high on something, No, they’re educated, somber, responsible family men and women and even children are picking up on the love vibe…]
Giving thanks and wishing all a Happy Thanks-giving Day!
"The liars punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else" George Bernard Shaw.
Many years ago, when I was still a young psychotherapist/hypnotherapist, I worked with a teacher whose heart was broken by her itinerant lover…, She was a young and beautiful woman, And, as she lay there on the couch, one day, Tears softly adornin
we won
I suppose this is about going along with the crowd and not stopping to question it.
A friend Morgen:0) told me this would make a good poem. Thanks I hope you agree lol:)
Thinking about the world and how could be made better place.
we possible can't be the greatest generation of all time in the span of 6 thousand years man been on earth. why only last one hundred years we are where we are?
Just some thoughts...
Expect a miracle today, and I guarantee you’ll see one, Kinesiologists teach us that of the 65,000 thoughts we have per day, its only about 7 high-vibration/loving thoughts that counter-balance the other 64,993 low-vibration/negative thoughts and ke
i always remember these people fleeing across concrete armored posts all roads in were fortified invading soldiers take to the streets sticks in pointing guns at women and children the mind still bugs me faces of pain down trodd
“…the peace that transcendeth all understanding…” the bible Stop and think for a moment, what do all of us desire most? “…peace of mind…” All other needs are like a pyrrhic victory, sans a settled mind, Most of us spend volumes of hours tinker
It is powerful and all-pervasive, It is inescapable and all-encompassing, Like the mythical Hydra, It’s always in front of you, on the path just ahead, waiting to devour the unsuspecting..., Most, by far, fall prey to it, never knowing it could
I spent a lifetime in search of meaning, Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Who am I? I delved into many of the sacred writings of the world, I spent years practicing various modalities such as prayer, meditation, introspectio
Why do you write poetry? Is it for the recognition? Maybe for the glory, or just to see if someone, somewhere is even listening. Do you make up stories of pure fiction? Or are you just desperate for some attention. Why is it so important to
It was one of those days today...
if you’re ‘right’, someone has to be ‘wrong’, not so long ago we were burnt at the stake for being wrong, now, that is not right, well, what changed that right to a wrong? a simple change of thought-bundles… so, we now have the current se
Definition for: unum accusative singular masculine of unus, one nominative and accusative singular neuter of unus, one As a healer, I witness suffering daily, I have a very soft spot for those in distress among us, More so for those whose
Many years ago, when I was a volunteer non-combatant in South Africa’s apartheid war against Namibia, I experienced a life-enriching phenomenon, which I would like to share with my fellow poets in this corner of the galaxy… Why share? Well, I find
Dream your dreams of yesteryear When you were young and free Drown your sorrows in your cup And cry for all that’s been Let those tears from your eyes Trickle down your cheeks As you wail “why, oh why, Has age crept upon me?” Forgotten ar
What my eye's do not want to see, Anguishes me, to this harsh society. As I look to the majestic sky, I see Darkness & destruction, in it's light. How can one be truly happy? As we embark on this "so called" Journey..... Selfishly!!!
In honor of a world we once knew which will disappear because of our indifference and nonchalance. It's easier to accept defeat especially for those who are weak.
I have quite heavily borrowed from another poem for the style of this one, although not quite so much in content. I am not a postman but I have been in situations that allow me to identify with this one.
I dont see how people can buy into this bull , not even worthy of bathroom material and a waste on my cable bill for sure. I ordered HBO not hiphop abs. Love yourself be yourself. Make the change you need or want but for yourself, or a loved one, something better than because somebody somewhere said so. Might as well play a record backwards then kill someone and say the devil made you do it. It worked in the 80's or did that fail too...Cheers
i see some poets are resurrecting some of their older posts, i think its a great idea, so, i thought i'd repost some of my favourites too...
“Sawubona”, I see you... This ancient African greeting tells a lot about homo sapiens sapiens, We have an insatiable need for acceptance by our kind, ‘Enlightened’ primitive peoples consider ‘invisibility/ridicule/exile’ the worst form of hell, E
Is it worth tryin to help make a change with each one little voice! :)

Got tired of being busted by what was interpreted rather than what I said. That's one reason why today I am freeatlast.
The spiritual foundling woke up in a trash heap in a dusty rural town of a forgotten continent when he was not yet past Shakespeare’s proverbial ‘first stage’ of life, One of the first memories he has is of stealing the H2O-merchant’s horse and wat
Twenty-six kilometers north of Limassol, there’s a place called ‘governor’s beach’, I love going there, especially when I feel my heart closing…, Especially when the beauty within me becomes sparse and it needs replenishing, For one thing I know,
Just having more fun with the election and what fun it would be to be in charge and actually have some power to do good, or at least do what I feel is good.
people are more isolated now amidst all these technology...virtual connection is really not necessarily a positive human experience...the only good thing I get out of it is the fact that it shows us who's really interested in making us a part of their lives. It's been the best measure of loyalty and support I have known by far...
Today, during my meditation, I had a strange experience, I noticed an idle thought dancing before me like a feminine roué, Strange, I thought, I’m in my serious, delightful and rejuvenating daily meditation, so why this distraction? After asking f
One meter for two spaces quarters inserted into slot, yet no time gained upon the clock. Arrows pointing left and right delayed awareness came, Coins offered for whose gain? Meter’s memory held, though button pushed out of turn cre
Trying to see fear of heights through their eye.
its about my india for who wish to know about my country.
To see someone these days whose attention is not completely monopolised by their phone is quite a novelty.
a fellow wounded-ape and a tired healer...
In caveman times, relationships were simple and uncomplicated, You would just grab a female by the hair and have your way with her, before tossing her aside again..., Now, you have to woo her, like some wogian of yesteryear, Buy her flowers, say

I really enjoyed this poem. As I thought of my life and direction as a ship sailing I felt kind of lonely then I would go off course to gather my memories as I head to the final port. What a great story loved how you told it...

Oh.... It is said that they usually begin in the Northern part of your country and then they sometimes drift into temperate coastal areas, threatening more populated regions to the South. Northern Australia has about four or five tropical cyclones ev...
