Three Ages

History was a subject in school

How things came to be as they are.

All too soon “Are” and “Is”

become “Was.”

History grows bigger

digesting you

and everything you hate

or love

with Change.

The role you play changes

well behaved student - push and shove

explorer planting flags in life and love,

Dancing with your special one

till tasks on the treadmill are never done.

Hopefully you’ll play again

in the gold afternoon of your shared sun

ignoring the retreating light

yet bursting to tears over geese in flight.

Look to the glowing embers

not the dark,

Pleasures and Remembers

render it much less stark.

And when I am

and when I do

among my greatest glories:

my history with you.

Thank YOU

for being here!

chatoyant

means: "changing in luster or color."



Aloha & Welcome Today!

Scientists have looked at the wings of flies and wasps
against white backgrounds for years.
Biologists at Lund University in
Sweden made a breathtaking discovery when they used black
backgrounds: COLOR!

"It takes a long time

to become young."

Picasso

"Power without love

is reckless and abusive.

Love without power

is sentimental and anemic."

Martin Luther King

"We are not enemies

but friends.

We must not be enemies.

Though passion may have strained,

it must not break our bonds of affection."

Abraham Lincoln

We all long for love.

But once we can see

beyond our own seeking

we notice that others

have the same appetite.

When you willingly become

a source of love

you will never be 

lonely,

infective,

hungry.

As "Kevin" a former athlete

seriously injured and impaired

in an accident told author 

Tom Corwin:

"I became aware that the part of me

that I can control is spirit.

That's what drives me

and it's what makes me feel good.

I'm not saying I'm always happy,

but when I'm less happy

I've learned to witness myself.

I still suffer occasionally ,

but I've developed the tools

to come back to the beauty

and power of spirit."

When we begin to see these things

a formerly Black & White,

win / lose,

 world

shows us a beauty

that we never imagined.

That is my wish today

for you

and for me.
