Let love sprout peace within our souls- to nurture others as we nurture ourselves, to nurture nature as nature nurture(s) us.

To hold dear our humanity. To care for humanity, animals, nature and the environment. To let the energy of peace elevate our heart. To become pure light.  To become human. To become free.

For with peace, we balance ourselves on the inside so it becomes infinitely easier to create all other beautiful thing in life that we desire.   Let the flow of peace be continuous- Peace is to cherish the world!

………….In some ways , I feel most alive when am writing.

Poetry helps me feel life.

I love to write.

To pour out my soul.

To let my sun shine out from me.

Giving this piece of myself to humanity, totally, truly.

I love poetry , it puts a smile in my writing.

For with poetry am fully charged .

I want to be nature. Normal is nature,poetry is nature, unblemished natural , even.

The very essence of my being define reality.

I am myself……..
