When My Mind is StillWhen my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I remember things too easily forgotten:
The purity of early love,
The maturity of unselfish love that asks --
desires -- nothing but another's good,
The idealism that has persisted through all the tempest of life.When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can find a quiet assurance, an inner peace, in the core of my being.
It can face the doubt, the loneliness, the anxiety,
Can accept these harsh realities and can even grow
Because of these challenges to my essential being.When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can sense my basic humanity,
And then I know that all men and women are my brothers and sisters.
Nothing but my own fear and distrust can separate me from the love of friends.
If I can trust others, accept them, enjoy them,
Then my life shall surely be richer and more full.
If I can accept others, this will help them to be more truly themselves,
And they will be more able to accept me.When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I know how much life has given me:
The history of the race, friends and family,
The opportunity to work, the chance to build myself.
Then wells within me the urge to live more abundantly,
With greater trust and joy,
With more profound seriousness and earnest service,
And yet more calmly at the heart of life.

"And so I become a knight of the kingdom of dreams and shadows."--Mark Twain" If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

We ARE IN THE COMPANY OF ANGELS“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.â€***Winnie the Pooh***I enjoy listening to God tell me what and who He is, for God can be different for everyone and have a different way for each to live.
I have had Fibromyalgia for 20 years of our 23 years of marriage. My greatest passion is animals. I love living out in the country and I am striving to live a healthier, more natural lifestyle. I enjoy camping and when we can, I spend the nights looking at the stars overhead. I crave the silence of the mountains...it's there that I find God.While praying one day, a woman asked, "Who are you Lord?"
He answered "I Am."
"But who is I Am?" She said.
And He replied, "I Am Love, I Am Peace, I Am Grace, I Am Joy, I Am The Way, I Am The Truth, I Am The Light,
I Am The Comforter, I Am Strength, I Am Safety,
I Am Shelter, I Am Power, I Am The Creator, I am The Beginning And The End, I Am The Most High."
The woman with tears in her eyes looked toward heaven and asked, "Now I understand, but Lord, who am I?"
Then God tenderly wiped the tears from her eyes and whispered,
"You Are Mine"..When I am Old...
I shall wear diamonds
And a wide brimmed straw hat
With silver and leather on it
and I shall spend my social security
On white wine and carrots
And sit in the alley of my barn
And listen to my horses breathe.I will sneak out
in the middle of a summer's night
And ride the chestnut mare
Across the moonstruck meadow.
If my old bones will allow.When people come to call I will smile and nod
As I walk them past the gardens to the barn
And show, instead, the beauty growing there
In stalls fresh-lined with straw.I will shovel and sweat and
Wear hay in my hair as if it were a jewel.
And I will be an embarrassment to all
Who look down on me.
They've not yet found the peace in being free
To love a horse as a friend,
A friend who waits at midnight hour
With nuzzle and nicker and patient eyes
For the kind of woman I will be...
When I am Old.
