We live in fantasy
We die in reality
People are wanting a new life
Away from the strife that surrounds them
What do we do with situations that seem helpless
Hoping for one day where we can control our situation
Can’t we just live in a safe space
A land where there is a smile on every face
Is this too much to ask
Maybe there is a spot between fantasy and reality where we all can go.
I believe in Heaven, Utopia, a divine kingdom of love and peace. There is a place where The Creator exists with creation and nature. God loves his children no matter who they are and who they love. Nature revealing it’s promise and majesty. There is a place of grace and mercy where all creatures great and small have belonging and purpose. Every person needs to feel that connection to something bigger than they are where they matter in every way. Is this place possible, I do believe so.
I had no control over how and when I was born.
I had no control over how and where I was raised.
I had no control over my skin tone or race.
I have control over the person I am and will be.
I have control over the things I do and say.
I have control over my attitude and latitude.
Yet there are some things you control.
Some things you don’t.
Some things you can’t.
Keep control until you don’t have it anymore.
To be weird
To be uncool
To be yourself
To tell dumb jokes
To make believe
To play like a kid
To do good things
To believe in the unexpected
To love fiercely
To die unto self
To have mercy
To be kind
To be smart
To be on the fringes
To be genuine
To unite your home
To face your fears
To take the long way home
It’s OK to do other things too
Snow is a beautiful, sometimes dangerous thing. Each flake is different and combined with other flakes can create beauty and chaos at the same time. It’s something that keeps us mesmerized but can cause us great headaches too. It can bring us together but it can also keep us apart. Water and temperature make snow what it is. People can make their livelihoods from it for different reasons. It’s recreational and its catastrophic. We need snow days to give us a break from the norm and usually its from a storm. It can change your plans and change your world for a bit. You can see it all the time in a globe. If you see it may you enjoy it. Snow is a marvelous thing.
Beginnings and endings
Marriages and divorces
Comings and goings
Now and later
War then peace
More then less
Births and deaths
Life has transitions, everyone goes from one thing to another. People change and life goes on. Never forget we are on a moving planet with seasons and reasons for them. No one will live forever. Never forget.
