    I can always come to you for a good poem and a compliment. LOL If I had a dollar to go with my good looks I could just about afford a cup of coffee. Throw in a little charm and they might even add cream and sugar. Have a great day Ann. Got to do a little work right now talk back with you soon. "BOO"

    Very Good

    Hello my dear friend! I'm sorry that I don't get to talk with you like we used to but I don't be on quite as much. I still think of you often and especially when I see that you are on when I am on and It always brings a smile I sent my manuscript in a few weeks ago to get 1 of my books published and should have the book in print before Christmas. I loved your poem and I found that I could answer most of the questions asked with the phrase; "A WOMAN" or
    "WITH A WOMAN" except question number 7. Got a new picture for my authors' page(Do you like it?) I still love your page! It's beautiful, and I hope to talk with you soon my "INDIAN PRINCESS"
    LOVE YOU "BOO"

    Hello my friend... Hope you don't mind me: Hmm'...

    1, Always different, sometimes things more unexpected than others. Sometimes very informing or opening as if from outside me or deep within and sometimes just 'drivel' most likely but I seldom remember those ones. These days I mainly dream in the daytime.
    2, Attentively.
    3, Yes... unless I do cry.
    4, The Beauty of Reality.
    5, Calms and cheers with a huge gentility.
    6, Oh' yes! Yes please may it continue!
    7, Well that would much depend on how far they would invite, allow or ask me to.
    8, No, never really, though I can want 'people friend' company sometimes. If severely down, then never entirely alone, though I can crave my woman terribly if I go there.
    9, Loving Kindness or the need for it.
    10, 'Make me into Light'

    I much enjoyed that, thank you, wonderful questions!

    These are questions

    that are very revealing. Some, of them I would not want to reveal the answers to. Only the poetic soul would challenge in this way. I enjoyed the read it made me meditate on many things.

    1) I am mostly always dreaming of some kind of quest.
    2) I welcome whispers of wind on a hot summers day...just fall into them. I enjoy whispers of wind most days...especially listening to the rustle of trees.
    3) I can. I don't always do it, but I have been known to.
    4) The most important thing in life is not to take life for granted...not to take ANYTHING for granted. Always realize how lucky your are.
    5) I could lay under the moon for hours. When the moon is full, I always feel either peaceful or giddy.
    6) oh yes!
    7) As far as they need me to. Sometimes I don't know what to say or they prefer to be alone. I try to be there for them when they need me most, though.
    8) No. I feel content.
    9) It depends. I am very fickle and different things touch me at different times.
    10) To always be as blessed as I am right now, and for anyone less lucky than I to find their own peace.

    1 of lying next to a cool mountain stream as the wind blows cool nothing on my brow. 2 I love the whispers of wind on a Summers day. 3 always. 4 To always look to do good. 5 It makes me contemplate love in many different ways. 6 everyday. 7 To the edge of the universe. 8 No 9 The beauty of the setting sun sinking as I watch the final rays disappear behind a snow covered mountain. 10 That every one would know the secret to true happiness how it is a sring from within that we must allow to flow to make this life worth while

    1. A fantasy world of flowers and moonbeams
    2. I close my eyes and let the spirit of the wind speak to me.
    3. Many times I smile when I cry. I have tears of joy as well as pain. I guess I cry alot.
    4. The most importiant thing in life is love, both receiving it and giving it.
    5. Grandmother Moon watches over me and gives me wisdome.
    6. LOL, I laugh and play as a child all the time.
    7. You already know this, my mission in life is to be there for others.
    8. I never feel alone, I go to the spiritual world looking for advice.
    9. The birth of a new born baby brings me to tears. I am blessed by seeing this often.
    10. One wish? To be a mother.

    Yeah Right, You Pobably Do Already Know, LOL

    2) How do handle the whispers of the wind on a hot summers day...

    With an appreciation for their being, for even with it’s whisper, a cooling is radiated throughout the area. Even with it is just the stirring of a humid air, it still speaks of a promise of change. A promise of weather systems to come. The whispers speak of the provision of the Great Spirit for us through nature, even at times we do not discern the message. I exist in it, and try to remember this newfound understanding of the world around me. I try to exist in it with a measure of peace and certainty, that I do not have to be in control for He is.

    3) Can you smile when you feel like crying...

    Yes, when I remember in my grief or despair, not to be selfish. Not to cry from a standpoint of I or me. For to be able to shed emotions without constantly thinking o one’s self, allows us to see the point of view of it from another. Thus generating a sense of either laughter, or awe or gratefulness, even in our sadness. Albeit easier said then always done.

    4) What do you feel is the most important thing in life...

    Love, for it is the nature of Him who created us. Just as He became flesh to serve us, with were created in that same love to be ones with servant like hearts also. As I grow older, I realize it is less about me and more about everyone else, I come into contact with. To pattern that indwelling aspect of us called love. Rather it be whomever, that the love demonstrated be that agape love of the Spirit. For it is this kind of love that is the most important, the kind talked of in the book of First Corinthians and the 13th chapter.

    5) How does the soft glow of Grandmother Moon effect you...

    She gives me a peace, teaching me that the darkness is not about fear. That with her there is a softness to the night that will speak and comfort those that listen to her voice. She allows a longing in one’s soul to surface. To become evident in your speech through her to the Great Spirit. For in the middle of the night, we can come sometimes more easily to our true selves and confess our deepest aspirations and needs. Using her cloak of darkness as a blanket to shield us from prying eyes.

    She reminds that all things need rest, and that she stands guard through the night, lighting the way for the creatures of the night. Those which play their part only during those hours. She speaks to me with the songs of the frogs, the crickets and the cry of the owl. Telling me of untold beauty heretofore never realized.

    6) Can you still laugh and play as a child without thought of self...

    Yes, but I must admit it has only come in the past couple of years. To be able to be so at peace and at home with who I am, as to step aside from my need or concern for how I am perceived and to simply be me.
    To wrestle with a teenage son,, to sit and color outside the lines with a niece or cousin, to dance and make a total idiot of one’s self for the expression of what I am feeling. Even at times the music does not speak to me as well as others. To just be me, and to be happy in the me I am.

    And still I sometimes have to fight to allow this aspect of me out, this I freely admit.

    7) Just how far would you go to cheer a grieving friend...

    As far as they allowed me into their space, and if it was not enough, to know that and to stand guard until all was well in their being again. To do so, not out of my need to serve but out of their need to be comforted. For at times like that how far we can go, is bordered by the freedom of space in their being they will allow us.

    8) When you are alone quiet in thought do you feel alone...

    No, long as I can keep the focus off of me once again. For we are never truly alone, unless we buy into a lie perpetrated against Him who created us. For He is always with us, if we will but quiet ten our spirits and listen to His voice within or coming from creation surrounding us.

    9) What of Nature can bring you to tears...

    The beauty of a sunrise, the sight of a calf or foal coming into the world. The inlaid jewels of a blanket of bluebonnets or Indian paintbrushes across a meadow. The simplicity of a morning bird’s song, singing as if to only me. Other words anything when I am conscious of His presence through nature, allowing me to have a glimpse of Himself therein.


    10) If grant only 1 wish what would it be...

    While not speaking of death, nor of heaven or anything so related, I wish to go home my friend!


    Question #1 sent in a seperate message for you alone. However u have my permission as my Wisdom Keeper to share them as you feel led to. For my dreams I hesitate to let just anyone into. That is an aspect of my space I guard with extreme care.
