So this is Christmas

It has been a while since I last posted, Of course Christmas interrupts everything, and here in Spain it goes on for 2 weeks, but it was not only Christmas....for a long time I have been writing a book, and for a long time I have wanted to complete it, and I had felt tired, so to take a rest and finish what needed to be done. But it was not only that, this time of year makes me sentimental as it does with us all, but I watch all the shoppers ,I see the expensive plants and decorations put up around the streets, and I just thought...what about those who at war, those who are hungry without food, those dying without medicine, the homeless, the people and children that live and die in these situations. It is the season of goodwill , but at times we forget.

I wish all those unseen voices out there, peace, love and happiness for this year and always.

Insignificance

For those of us who feel that our lives are insignificant, we need to remind ourselves that that every action we take and every day that we live are significant , not only to ourselves but to others. We may not make history or become famous, but our time here has significance.

Exploration

If we do not yet know about life,

How can we know about death?

Confucious

There is a lot of truth in this saying, we are most of us afraid to die, we have no idea what death will bring us. We only know the end as we have seen it.

Our lesson from this saying is to explore life more, our reasons for being here and who we are. Perhaps then our fear of the unknown will disappear.

Hope

Everyone of us that walks the pathway of life needs hope, to carry them through the difficult times, to help us continue our journey. Hopes gives us the strength and desire within that allows us to continue to travel and battle through life.Without hope, we give up, become negative in thought and action. Hope and "Will" go hand in hand, in turn leading each other.

The unseen

Is it easier to believe in only what we see?and make judgement from that in front of us?
But doesn´t all that we see have an unseen side, a more valuable often unacknowledged other side? For example, a mother smiles at her child, we often miss the love behind the action, or what if someone consoles us when we are sad, the action of comfort we see but what we do not always see is that person absorbing and feeling our sadness.
Behind every thing we see lies a part unseen.

Thought

All that we are is the result of our own thoughts,

we are made up and consist of our own thoughts,

responsibility for our thoughts, for good or bad.

Is ours and ours alone.

If we are guided by pure thought,

Happiness follows us,

and remains with us.

Tribute

A tragedy, unbelievable.....shock.

The loss of life

The pain

and the

Not knowing.

Our thoughts are with you,

those who have died

and those who have lost someone,
