I HAVE




I HAVE... by Adrienne  A. Wallace


Looked into the eyes of a stranger and wondered ..

What love does (s)he know?
Does (s)he have a home?
Did (s)he notice me looking at him?

I have ....
Doubts
Thoughts of another life
Prayers being answered
Forgiveness for those who have done wrong
Strength and hope

I have....
A plan I change from time to time.
Profound belief that courage,compassion,truth, grace, aptitude,
love and creed are the solution for most all ills of the world.
People I will always miss
People I want to know


I have....
Said no to people who wanted me to say yes
Taken on task that I was unsure of
Been satisfied with my results


I have....
Had my truth denied, refused, ridiculed
Maintained through my own action


I have ....
Cried
Laughed
Won
Lost
Dreams

I have ....
A man who loves me with all my faults
I call him "Father"
A best friend
Children in my life every day
Hopes for a young family of my own


I have ....
A love of reading and exploration
A great education
An extremely high IQ
A lot to be grateful for

I have....
Loved someone so deeply that my breath was lost in thinking of them
Felt a tinge of regret in my everyday life
Realized that my life is only mine and yours is yours
Knowledge that I am a soul connected to a body

I have ....
Prayed for others more than I have ever prayed for myself
Felt creation in a perfect hour
Worked long hours for something that I believe in
Been envied by many and probably pitied by more

I have...
Known that the eyes are part of the brain and....
wondered if what I see is only real and present if I comprehend it
Embraced the time that I live in now
Waited eagerly for tomorrow

I have .... realized ....
That we have invented nothing and that innovation is re-creation
To believe that we will innovate until we get it right
realized .... "to realize" is to use REAL EYES



I have love
I have attention
I have a heart that beats powerfully beneath my chest
I have your attention


I have wholeness
I have light
I have tolerance
I have laid it on the line

I have PEACE. It shakes sometimes.

Show some respect. He is not your companion. He is your Commander -In - Chief.

The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar"  and continues with  even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following:  " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency,  Barack Obama", and of course President Obama.  Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to  further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana."

LETTING GO....

  L-E-T-T-I-N-G    G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting  go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable?  It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing.  It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the keyboard, raised your fin

Just Ask

Just Ask.... The other day I was asked how it is that I am so drawn to the image of Buddah and I responded. " It is a very peaceful image for me." There is a bit of a smile ...or not, but the face looks content and even like a baby. What well person can be upset with a baby? I also cannot help but think of a flower and the humility of growth when I see the image of Buddah. There are several Buddah statues throughout my home. They soften my already softly and thoughtfully appointed living, working, bathing and sleeping spaces. They are comfortable places to be. Buddah was a prince that gave up all of his wordly possessions to have an ultimate peace. All the trappings ...given away. With that thought, I also shared that a flower is something that I wonder if any one human being could be upset with. I think it is nearly impossible to do that too. Perhaps this is because we all know that flowers, as commonplace as they are, do not just occur. They are a part of a miracle. I i
