We want to keep you safe and sound,
Away from danger all around,
And so at home you'll have to stay,
And live your life some other way
Instead of chasing butterflies
Or birds beneath the bright blue skies.
Fearless kitty, you could be
A world explo…
Thanks, Ellen. These children have such a rough time trying to express themselves. Happily they can have music and different types of technology. Lois
I like this!
Words bounce from his mouth
Like gumballs jumping
From their slippery slot
Clattering to the floor
Scattering
Rolling falling....
Thoughts tied behind in darkiness
Pounding struggling
To be freed.
In his dreams a miracle:
He is a word,
Sliding dow…

Through the forest pathways, moist and shining,
Humming, racing through the summer days
To reach the echoes of the sea and sky.
Pure and unencumbered, he still listens

Sonnet
Figurine
They whirled below me, happy, heartless, free,
While I was left alone, all to myself,
They danced, they sang, they even called to me;
I did not hear them, standing on my shelf
Of sorrow, hanging high upon a wall
O solomn, rigid wood; I watched that crowd
Below me, gliding through their spacious hall,
I would not join them, I was much too proud.
But suddenly my nailed shelf gave way,
I left it and went realing through the air,
I fell amidst the others, shattered clay,
I looked about, th… Continue

He talked so passionately about his relationship with the homeless two stringer violin player and how he helped the man get back a bit of his life. He said the violin payer calls him almost every morning to see how he is. I related to all the reporter was saying about the difficulty of helping some of the homeless along. I worked with 15 mentally ill homeless for a year, besides the volunteer work i did for four years in Gainesville. Thanks for the tip, I'll try and get to see the movie. Sh'mal

- Hi, Thanks for sharing your poem with me. I always enjoy others creative works. Creativity is a wonderful gift from God! I haven't been on here in a long time as I have other things going on in my life at the moment plus two recitals!

- Hi, I just now read your poem and I love it! I used to write some poetry but haven't tried any lately . My sister is the poet and she is a published poet. You should try that. I'm sure you could be published. I just had the boys lessons today and we had fun as usual. Blessings.

- Hi Lois, Yes she did and I thought I had written back to you to let you know that. I do enjoy teaching the boys very much and I'm enjoying myself on here, Facebook and MySpace. I hope life is treating you well these days.

- Hi Lois, I see we're in the same city. I'm in NW houston. Where are you? I enjoyed your sonnet very much. My sister is a poet and artist. I am a piano teacher and love listening to guitar music as well. I would love to hear more of your interest in mind-body-spirit. I also would like to invite you to join my new group, Environmental Zoo where you can express your concerns, solutions, ideas or anything else you'd like to. I also have a discussion going on environmental issues. See you there?

- Well, Lois, your son is quite a organizer, jumped right in on getting the Zoobird site going and has had a lot of takers quickly. I hope he does well in the garden, the space he and another took over provided me with most of my vegetables the past few years. Now in Seattle where they have many community gardens, but waiting lists of up to two years for plots, so will rely on my own organizing skills to try and find a new space for a community garden. Hope all is well in Houston. Sh'mal

Hanshan (Chinese: 寒山; pinyin: Hánshān; literally "Cold Mountain", fl. 9th century) was a legendary figure associated with a collection of poems from the Chinese Tang Dynasty in the Taoist and Chan tradition. He is honored as an incarnation of the Bodhisattva -figure Manjusri in Zen lore.The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura
Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage. In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of aestheticism--Teaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.Hacked E-Mail Is New Fodder for Climate Dispute
Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.
