A Remarkable Feeling....The Realization of our Being
"A Remarkable Feeling...
The Realization of our Being!"
(tiny humans living on a floating planet)

Here I am.
At least, I think I am.
So, it must be true...Perhaps.
How are you?
Where am I?
Somewhere out here
In the atmosphere
Riding high
In the ozone sky
Like the Rainbows fly
Where I can see
far and wide
And much more clearly now,
Seems like Forever.
That's a Fact
So are You
Jack, and Jill
They walked down the hill
Holding hands
with their pail
in between them
Falling in Love.
Preparing to dip their toes
in the water,
of the ever flowing
River of Life,
ever changing
together,
take flight!
But hang on tight,
Cause our planet is turning
Floating like a Raft
Spinning through the draft
Now going really fast.
Flying through the Vastness
of Time and Space.
While our people must Unite
Through Strength in numbers
Becomes our Might!
By myself at first,
Then at next sight
Here are all
the rest of us, too.
Working all day and night
we bind together
for fair play.
Please help us friends,
we beg you.
We need respect
for our community
to comply
Families are hungry
Babies crying.
Paddling our way
Through the Bay now
Over waters still and flat
Like glass below
And reflected back
Sun shining brightly
as we go…
Gliding quietly,
Going slow
at first
Then for fun
going really fast.
In sync working hard
Moving forward
Always chasing
Towards our Goals.

although,
some are better decorated
than others.”
(attributed to some "Unknown Prisoner")
"Give me a minute
And I can save you
Many miles!
For what you Seek…”
(attributed to some “Unknown Shephard”)
“I can’t change
the direction of the wind
but I can adjust my sails
to always reach my destination.”
(attributed to some "Unknown Sailor-
Jimmy Dean")
“What lies before us
and what lies behind us
are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us”
(attributed to some "Deep Thinker-
Ralph Waldo Emerson")
Awareness of our souls
and pending mortality
are unique to us, our kind
Human Beings, we’re alive.
It becomes a part
of growing up and
maturing into an adult.
Learning to understand
to accept these things.
Then again, have no fear
because with Faith you see,
so the Eternal goes, it
can become a part of you.
When I was young
And lying in bed
God said
I should listen carefully.
At least, I thought it was
God's voice,
who would speak to me
at night before falling asleep.
At this early age I did not realize
or understand quit yet
that
these were my own thoughts,
trying to figure things out.
meanings of life and death!
Going to sleep
for the night was always
A difficult time for me.
I feared the dark
until I turned like thirteen.
I could hold my pee, but had
bad nightmares all the time.
Many different repetitive
themes. Still do even
as an adult, although
about different ones now.
God would speak to me
I could hear him clearly
Listening to his warm
familiar voice all full
of logic and wisdom.
Comforting words still
follow me around today
He would impress
on my attention
how to Endure
Duress
with Patience
and think of him.
Until to pass the time
And kill the moments still.
So, it would hurry up
and pass already,
that stressful situation
will just have to deal,
Then soon enough
Sleep would take over.
Unfortunately,
Chronic Pain and Fatigue
Have now become
a significant part of
my daily existence
and struggle with hopefulness.
A mosquito bit with a virus
Is all it took outside one night
Who knew?
It could put me in a state
Like this, leaving me disabled
and unable to shake it or do
much of anything, now.
I have had to learn to adapt
My brain so twisted and
unable to focus clearly.
How frustrating to never
be the same again,
so full of energy
And strength,
alive and capable
No longer be the case
as I sleep all the time
and am tired while awake
as if in a conscious
but unconscious wakefulness.
Painful stimulation
has become a part of me.
A big impact on my life
and quality,
both subjective and dependent
on my Brains’ interpretation.
The meds work ok
a part of time
but then the pain again.
Each day brings new
Distressing difficulties
Making it more challenging to try
My legs so heavy, my head
like mushed in a blender.
It follows me around
everywhere I go
Insists I balance the pain
and carry the added weight
of it on my shoulders
like a pet Gorilla by day,
and while running,
running from that Dragon
of Pain in my nightmare
dreams all night long.
With everything I try to do,
I am exhausted so.
I cannot focus
or accomplish much
of anything at home.
How depressing to be told
There is no cure!
What shall I do?
Nothing much I guess
Although,
From the long list of all
My “Witch Doctors”
(neurologists, pain specialists,
doctors alike)
They each described my illness
Clearly,
They all prayed for me
Cheerfully, with a smile
And said there was nothing
They could do,
But, they “Witched me Good Luck!”
On my way out the door
Before I go, home.
My photography though is
Fun and quite Outstanding! 😄
Solarization Fine Art Photography
The World you barely know...
Exists!
Got to MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Got to make it so
The cookie, the reward.
Harmony of Presence with
Mindfulness and Openness
Willingness and Lovingness
Will bring us Hopefulness
and Peacefulness.
My artwork is as way different
as any great artist should be
in order to position their work
as truly unique,
A breakthrough in technique
Authentic and original.
My catalog is so vast
And quite extensive
I cover many types of
photographic genres
and specialty interests.
It’s all about the pleasantries
of the colors and how
they make you feel inside,
The emotions evoked
by reviewing carefully
With artistic pride!
"Every image is like a song
or a piece of music.
Each one plays with you
for a little while
with its unique nature
of visual communication"
(attributed to some "Wanna be
Musician- Sanford Widran")
Need to get moving,
Now, somewhere fast
Oh, no!
A time bomb
is going to explode.
Inside my head
one day,
and Kill me Dead,
only
I don't know when!
So then, Uhm....
I better get my butt
in gear and show my
Photographic artwork
exhibit to the world today.
There, it is, It's here!
Ok, but move it quick
before it is too late!
"I Can't Wait
Until Tomorrow Comes
Since I Get Better Looking
Every Day!"
(attributed to some "Great Player-
Joe Namath")
Please Lord forgive me
for all my sins
and past transgressions.
I will seek to do better
to improve my character.
And reassess periodically
to challenge old thoughts
and outdated beliefs.
Thus, rid myself forever
Of “stinking thinking!”
(attributed to some “Great Speaker-
Zig Ziglar”)
Thank you, Lord,
for this wonderful day
For granting us this
joyous filled life
And for all your bountiful
Blessings.
It was genius providing us
With a consciousness
of your presence
and awareness of our own
Human existence within
Mortal souls, so
We can recognize you
in worship, belief, and faith.
Thank you, Lord,
for your endless gifts
and comforts of our loving Home.
Here and now,
Lord, please help me again
I need your guidance
To find my way ahead.
I hope to feel better soon
so I can get back
out into the world
and resume
where I left off.
There is so much more
to learn and discover.
And, thank you Lord,
So much, for everything...
You do. Catch you,
next time and soon! 😊
“Amen”
A Remarkable Feeling...
The Realization of our Being!"
