To All My Friends….(How deep is love?)

I wanted to share this piece that is copywrited for my first novel to ask you to THINK…How deep does love go?  How long is forever?  The story is true and dear to my heart, of a love that has passed away.

Letter to My Love

 

Each day I am without you

I feel hopelessly empty.

Each night I reach for your pillow

But, you are not there anymore.

The very thought of you consumes me

The silence in the house overwhelms me.

The door swings open

And I think you will walk into the house,

With your loving smile.

The breeze blows

And I swear, I can smell your scent.

I am like an empty shell,

Abandoned on the shore.

My voice can’t speak your name,

For fear it will haunt me.

Your things, I don’t dare move,

Hoping you will come back to me one day.

My dreams are of moments in time,

Simple, happy and peaceful.

I pray I will not wake, but I do,

Only to find myself lost in today.

I’m longing, waiting, wishing, praying,

You will think of me as well.

I don’t know where you are,

Or if your heart still has a place for me.

Forgive me for what I did or did not do.

I was taking life for granted,

Expecting our happiness to last forever.

Will something remind you of me,

And bring you back?

Is forever, forever?

Or, will I not feel love again, Ever?

 

I have not written in some time for health reasons and I wish I could finish all the things I have ready to be illustrated and then published.  Sometimes life doesn’t work along with our schedule.  I miss interacting with all of you and sharing ideas, hopes, dreams.  As an artist and writer, we all are of kindred spirits…reaching out to connect.  Maybe we write to vent, to share an experience, to inform, but all of it is very important.  Without artists and writers, this world would be missing a precious part of humanity.

I don’t consider myself anyone special, except to my beloved husband…who is ALLWAYS by my side and protecting me from harms way.  When I meet others, I accept on face value…meaning my radar of deceptive, or dishonest people is not working.  lol.  I accept, as a child would, believing everyone is good.  This has led me into great danger and personal physical harm.  Although I had reason to hate what had happened to me and the persons who did it to me…I couldn’t:  instead I blamed myself.

Since then, many years later, I have found it a hidden blessing.  I write hoping someone can relate to something they are going through, to forgive and to know life goes on and you will be happy again.  Most important….God is always by your side and Angels watching over.   It is this message that keeps me writing and knowing there is a purpose to what I do.

So many people on this site and others have made such a profound impact in my life…One of friendship and faith.

Profound Love Quote #9…..Tones of true love!

Credit: Photo and text by Joseph Romanella on Facebook

The personal ego can only offer someone
a poor semblance of love, because its nature
is basically selfish. – That is why there have
always been many discords & issues in human
relationships & that kind of love can even
turn into hatred overnight. In contrast,

True Love is a Gift of the Holy Spirit of Truth &
is the kindling of the all consuming flame
Of “I AM,” inside of the receptive hearts of
believers and seekers. – It is God in us Knowing
& Loving His Own Self – Expression (Son) in
others hearts unconditionally

Crime History, March 18, 1990: Boston burglars pull off $500 million art heist

D.C. Crime Stories

Rembrant’s “Storm on the Sea of Galilee” (Wikipedia)

On this day, March 18, in 1990, crooks make off with $500 million in art from a Boston museum, the most expensive art theft in U.S. history.

In the early-morning hours, two thieves posing as police officers bound and gagged two security officers at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. In 81 minutes, they walked around the galleries, removing 13 masterworks by Vermeer, Degas, Manet and Rembrandt.

The thieves stole Rembrandt’s “Self-Portrait” as well as the Dutch painter’s “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee,” his only seascape.

Investigators focused on the Irish Republican Army, a Boston mob boss and a notorious art thief, but the mystery remains unsolved.  The heist is still the largest unsolved art theft in history.

The empty frames of the stolen paintings were kept on display because Isabella Stewart Gardner instructed in her will that nothing be changed in the building designed to emulate a…

Urmeaza LUMINA DIN TINE !

EARTH CHANGE MZ

„Ultimele vorbe pe pământ ale lui Buddha Gautama au fost: Urmează lumina din tine. Nu urma pe alții, nu imita, pentru că mersul pe urmele altora, imitația creează prostie. Te naști cu o posibilitate fantastică de inteligență. Te naști cu o lumină în tine. Ascultă glăsciorul dinlăuntrul tău, și el te va călăuzi. Nimeni altcineva nu te poate călăuzi, nimeni altcineva nu poate să-ți fie model în viață, pentru că tu ești unic. N-a mai existat nimeni care să fi fost exact ca tine, și nu va mai exista nimeni care va fi exact ca tine. Asta e slava ta, grandoarea ta – ești absolut de neînlocuit, ești tu însuți și nimeni altcineva.

Omul care îi urmează pe alții devine fals, devine mecanic. Poate să fie un mare sfânt în ochii celorlalți, dar în străfundul ființei sale e doar lipsit de inteligență, nimic altceva. O fi el un personaj foarte respectabil…

If I Could Write My Heart

The Matticus Kingdom

Zoe, from Behind the Mask of Abuse , has published a couple different collections of poetry.  This one, in particular, struck a chord with me.  The writing is raw, powerful, emotion, and I think you would be hard-pressed not to connect with at least a handful of the pieces as you read through them.

Here is the title piece:

How awesome is that?  That’s so awesome it’s awesome drenched in superbgravy.

………..

When I decided that I wanted to do a quick write-up on the collection, I asked Zoe to provide a bit about herself and the book, and here is what she had to say:

“I’m a wife and the proud owner of a doxie and a snake. I like to write and always have. It’s been an outlet for me, as far back as I can remember. I’m thankful for it, because it helped me survive a childhood…
