Being Human

Being human is

Full of rules

And regulations

Do this, wear that,

Permissions to go here

Yes, these are needed,

But not differing ones

For different folks

That is not freedom

Some make money off of

Others freedoms taken away

Unjustly so.

Shooting someone

Without any law, that is horrid.

Protecting and serving,

Not shooting whoever.

And whatever happened

To ‘it takes a village’

Each of us learn and

Share with one another

Inspiring and supporting

One another… We cannot

And should not do this

Thing called life alone

We need one another

More variety makes

The whole life experience

So much worthwhile

….

If we loose hope,

find some spark of light.

Bring light to others.

Some may just see

the spark as a seed

and others may grow

and develop the seedling

Rainy Day Joyneys

Scene Note: A Stack of books

sit by the window.

Raining outside with

a beautiful view of

trees and beyond.

 …

Rainy day travels

Exploring joyneys

Within, remembering

Days of youth

Filled with flare

A smile appears

When crystals

Become rainbow – makers

A precious doll

Brings comfort

To one who brought

Joy to so many

The petty quarrels

Sisters have becoming

Full fledged friends

The joyneys we have

Both within and about …by Pauline Harris

The River Runs On

Trinkles glide

Down the flowing

River

Rocks

Came into focus

The river

Actively diverged

Making new paths

Continuing on

Changes may come

The river

Moves forward

A shaken rumble

May change

The pathway

The river

Travels onward

Gliding over

Many detours

And triumphs

The river

Carries along the banks

Sometimes changing

The river’s

Focus

To go over

Flooding

Or drying up

The river

Travels along

Changes happen

The river

Ventures forward

~Pauline Harris

It Is All About Spring Forward

Stepping Up to Spring

Take our first step

By springing our time

One step forward

Why do we do this?

Many still ask

To remind us all

We are part of the whole

Or it is just a tradition

Some may just wish to

Keep hold of for

Control or to remind us

We have obligations

To the world

So the time has come

One hour lost

As we step into

Spring Forward

Once again-pharris

Time Changes

Thinking about time…Time is always changing…Early in the morning We change the time back…Always find it weird when we do this, as we don’t really change time, just our perception and the time on our clocks…time is changing, are we changing with it. (odd time thoughts brought to you by me, pharris)

Whispering Wind

Whispering wind calling forth~Let me in, let me in~No, says I~For deep within~I know the Truth~And you are not it~But, whispering wind continues~I can only see you are~A bringer of fear to me~This I do not want~Nor will I accept~I am free, I am free~Let me be Me,~For I know the Truth is where I want to be~Alive and Free~~~pharris2013

Perspective is all in the eye of the seer

There is a story of two people. One is on an island and the other is on a boat. The one on the island sees the one on the boat and thinks about being rescued from loneliness and a way to get off the island. While on the other hand, the one on the boat thinks about being rescued from long days at sea. Both people are viewing their lives from the perspective of where they are at during that moment. Neither of them realize how much they do have already if they opened up their eyes and saw what was around them.

Perspective…All in the eye of the Beholder

In these two pictures, one can see the dominant colours prevail over the others because of different lighting. However, these pictures are of the same painting. Perspective is all in the eye of the beholder…sometimes we just need to take one step outside to see a whole new world of possibilities.
