Flaming June's Love

The boys by the fire. I so love this and reminds me of my girls at the farm sitting by the fire. They would get out of the tub and hunch down and warm up. Although they were never naked it is still beautiful. I love the light on them. They look warm. Again Mary Cassatt. She captures the look of peace on a babies face. A beautiful one I may buy a print for the house and put it .... somewhere. ME ME ME ME I want this to be me me me.

Children And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children." And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also...

There are people that come along in our lives and they seem to Pop up at just the right time. Are they there for us or do we have a purpose in their lives? I dont know but I am grateful to hear from a few people lately. Jim- a former student of mine that I write to about once every six months. He sent me a note the other day and I caught him up on our family. Got a note back and he is going to be a daddy this summer. He is a year older than I am and this is his first child. I am so excited for him and his wife. He was someone I met between Tim and Andy but we never dated. We laughed our heads off and had really similar likes and so on but something just wasnt there. I am glad now becasue he is happy and I am too. I got a quick note from someone else that I only hear from sporadically. We have a relationship that is sporadic at best. I always enjoyed her notes and writing but we cant seem to pull together a friendship. What is meant to be will be. I do enjoy her and her w...

So this is a picture of heaven according to someone at nasa. Im down with that idea looks ok. IS this Jesus? Is He the son of God, the salvation and one way to heaven. This is what he looks like in Suzidom Lots and Lots of flowers. My heaven blooms of every color. Trees with leaves that change the colors of fall but never fall off. Breezes that blow cool in your face but warm and comforting on your body. Midnight blue skies at night with stars that look out into the lives of the people on earth so I can peek an see hows it going for everyone. I dream that I can fly sometimes. I would like that in heaven. coasting, floating, easy blowing wind. above trees. I hope for paints of everycolor and brushes that dont ever need cleaning. canvas' that are of abundant sizes and textures. People that want them when I am done and are happy to have. Children babies without mothers. I will love them hold them nurse them and sing rock and love them until their mommies come. Then I get ...

Yup my friend Ruth the other night asked if Jack had had the flu yet. No not yet knock on wood. Well didnt the devil heart me knock and on Wednesday night the poor bugger puked up dinner. We thought it was just Dad and the boy roughhousing so we calmed down and then it started. Turkey rice and carrots spewed all over the place. The poor kid didnt know what to do with himself. He would start to gag and then run. Me chasing behind with a bucket attempting to catch vomit. Then started the crying and fever. I gave him advil and puke. Pedialyte, puke. sleep, cry, puke, repeat. My poor bugger. anyway today was the first decent day since then. One really loose stool and 50% appetite, no fever. Neither of us or say the three of us have slept decent since then so I hope tonight will be the first. OK wqith me now the latest. I have been on Paxil, which is an antianxiety, antidepressant for many years. I really dont need it but the withdrawal from this "non habit forming...
