Listen closely To this story
Of a child written long ago,
Who came from the mountains
To the distant valleys
Bringing a message of peace and hope.
This child sang to all the people
Words were whispered far and near,
Of the power that’s in the heart
Of the wisdom all can share.
“In your heart
And in your mind
Working together
You will find,
All the treasures
And all the gold
Lies in two simple words
Never needed to be told.
Feel the warmth
Which grows inside
And in this feeling
You will cry,
Sounds of freedom
Sounds of laughter
Sounds of children
Forever by your side.”
Some of the people
Wanted the secrets
To all the treasures
All of the gold,
They took this child
And locked him up
Keeping this child
Deep inside.
These people grew in sickness
Age and resentment
Hate and fear,
Never understanding
Never receiving
Forever lonely in despair.
And when the child had faded and died
They had lost their secret
This wealth was gone,
They could not share in
This life treasure
These words in which they seek.
When elders looked
To the other people
And saw them happy
Full of life,
Full of laughter
Full of love
Reflecting ever clearly
So brilliantly bright.
“How could this be
We had the child
We held him within,
He was ours to keep
Ours to have
Never to share
Never to lend.
Only the words
We were never told
To all the riches
And to all the gold,
Died with this child
Never again to be seen
Forever left, untold.”
As their feelings
Turned from anger
Turned from jealousy
Turned towards rage,
A child did step forth
And kissed them lightly
Only then did they know.
The words for which they were seeking
To all the riches, all the treasures
And all the gold,
Laid in their heart
Always there
Never needed to be told.
This feeling, forgiveness
This feeling of love
Came from deep within,
From within their soul,
Is all that is treasured
Is all that is needed
Wealthier than all the gold.
So now you know the story
The words, the feelings
Living within us all.
Live your life
Live it as a child,
Live it in forgiveness
Live it in love.
Listen closely
To this story,
Of a child,

Wishing you all a HAPPY 2019'
Thank you for bringing back Tim's beautiful words.
Wishing you all a
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Have a HAPPY 2019.
Happy 2020 New Year to all who celebrate.
Let us fall in love again
and scatter gold dust all over the world.
Let us become a new spring
and feel the breeze drift in the heavens' scent.
Let us dress the earth in green,
and like the sap of a young tree
let the grace from within sustain us.
Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts
and let them light our path to Love.
The glance of Love is crystal clear
and we are blessed by its light.
Rumi
**************************************
Wishing you all a happy New Year.
Thank you Tim for the beautiful words,
and thank you Inda for the Rumi.
Have a happy 2020.
May there be peace and harmony between all beings.
Wishing you all a very happy 2020.
Stay healthy and well.
Wishing everyone to have a peaceful and prosperous 2021.
The world needs the light of love.
It needs the peace of it, the
blessing of it, and the purifying
qualities it possesses.
Hawaiian Wisdom
Happy 2021 dear Friends.
Dear Friends, wishing you all a
Happy New Year.
May the whole world enjoy peace and prosperity.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year, 2022
Have a very happy 2022 everyone.
Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.
Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern not yourself with what you tried and failed in, but what it is still possible to do.
Now is the time to put aside past and present setbacks and failures and look with confidence to the new day called tomorrow.
— Pope John XXIII
Have a Happy 2022 everyone.
May there be peace between all beings.

I had a chance to realize how important even only a few words of kindness can be. When I parked the car I heard a voice calling "Signora!". It was an old woman at the window on the second floor. She asked "Can you please tell me what day it is today?". I said: "It's the 1st of January and it is a Sunday". "Oh, a Sunday! ... you know since my husband died, I live alone and the days pass slowly and I forget what day it is". We talked a little while and in the end we wished each other a Happy New Year. "Dio vi benedica! ... God bless you!" were her last words. She had appreciated a little kindness. I thought about the painful solitude so many old people experience ... A proposition for the New Year: to be more present for those who need a little warmth, a little sign of kindness.
HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS!
Love and Peace and Joy.

And here we are in 2006, the hearts full of hope and the will to do our best in order to make this a Year of true progress, in love, in health, in peace and harmony .... in awakening to LOVE AND ONENESS.
I have been to St. Peter today and despite the rain the whole world seemed represented there. It felt good to begin the New Year in souch close connection with other souls from all over the world.
With you too, even if you were not physically there ...
