NAPKIN WORDS #48 2010

1. RECESSION JUMPS
Able to leap tallest hopes, fear now rule
our time!

2. REMEMBER THE BROOM
Every window is an opportunity for broken
glass!

3. LIFE AS IT IS
Even under tyranny we must see beauty, else
we fail!

4. A SUGGESTED REASON FOR IT
Love occurs not because it is employment.

No, it occurs because sometimes, one time
or another, the heart goes on vacation and
takes you with it!


5. KNOWLEDGE
If you are hovering smack dab in the middle,
a ten foot poll reaches nothing in an a hundred
foot room, width by height or by depth.

Knowledge is knowing where you are standing
and having the right tools to reach your goal!


6. NATURE PAINTING
Still waters are beautiful.

Life has ripples, that too is art!

7. ABOVE AND AS IT IS
God is as touchable as fate.

They are what they are.

They go where they will.

They both accomplish!

8. SEARCHING THE WRONG PLACES
Should one of your joys be finding fools,
know that you are searching everywhere
except the sure place where you will find
one!

9. NO GLUTTONY THERE
The hunger of humanity has never led
to the starvation of fate!

10. DISASTER
Is when everyone refuses to step forward
even though they each had the chance!




STORMS & CONTENTMENT

What wonders to read of love described
as gardens filled with glory of overflowing
beauty, growing, ever changing. Earth
married to flowers, united as one.

Yet what of truths even in gardens of our
contentment? Of beetles destruction savage
roars of weather, soil, burning sun amid
toughest moments of time when children
are near?

No, in our beings, we discover love is more
like a kite. It rises swiftly in first kiss of
winds, shines amid first blush of sun. Then
it shudders, shakes, dives and departs in a
stubborn movement of two objects facing
each other, affected by all outsides which
moves us, changes us, confuses us so.

Yet, if our love is strong, it wills itself to
that long cord of life, which binds extremes,
external with internal, allows for truth of
understanding that when we fly high as one,
we become miracles enthralling all, when we
disagree, all viewers watch how close we come
to falling to ground.

Our love is and must be that kite who conquers
its own tremors and fears so that with a wonder
of understanding, becomes uniquely one. Strong,
so that like a beautiful bird of life surviving those
everyday storms, we can fly into lands of peace.
Ever aware of life’s thunder, yet safely united in
wisdom of wondrous love.
