A Poem for Dad.

As I sit here at my little work desk in Palm Desert I am drawn
to the beautiful "Memory Heart" that my sister Jodi willed into
existence in memory of our Father. It is a beautiful piece that contains,
within it's heart, many of Dad's little knick-knacks....precious reminders
of the man who was so special to all of us. I am grateful to him, my Mom,
my sisters, and the entire family, for the countless blessings that have been
bestowed upon us. In celebration, and gratitude for Dad's life I have written
a poem, inspired by the Memory Heart, and would like to share it here,
with love, and in the spirit of Eagle Eye.

                   Memory Heart


           Speak to us oh Memory Heart.
     Tell us a story of who You are, where You've gone,
                 and what You have become.


              So that we will always remember.


         You exist in the stillness of Your heart and soul.
              A warm and peaceful reminder of
              "Our Father Who Art In Heaven."
       Your energy "entwined" here within Your heart. 
                Empowered, free and speaking
                             Your truth.


       Your message of love and what we have learned
                               from You
     Show us the way, guiding us in spirit and love from
                               Your heart.


               We "see" health, wealth and abundance.
                    This is Your truth and the gifts
                                   of You.


          We "hear" joy, laughter and the songs of belief
                                in Your heart, 
                                 and it is one.


              We "feel" warm, beaming smiles of energy,
                           vibrations of love and
                                       sharing.


                 We "honour" Your generosity of heart
            giving, caring and expecting nothing in return.


                 We "appreciate" Your unspoken truths.
         Words not said... but felt ... and gratefully understood.


                    We "admire" Your courage of trust,
             belief of universe, Your universe, so beautifully
                                        served.

                     We "love" You and Your passion,
                   alignment, light and sense of purpose.
                                  Your true soul.


                  We "believe" in You and love of family.
             A life fulfilled in abundance, inspiration and in
                                          giving.


     We "respect" You and everything that Your soul stands for,
        believes in, sees, and manifests by You, for You and for
                                         all others.  


           We "share" in the blessings of Your peace and quiet, 
   living in "God's" way a meaningful, giving and purposeful life,
        as we know it now, as it was then, and as it always will
                                              be.
       
   We "connect" with Your simple pleasures serving our greater good,
                       meaningful, humble and full of grace.


       We "gift" ourselves, and unto others empowered, enlightened;
                       We are conscious, aware, inspired and
                                               free.


              We are "appreciative" and grateful for Your life;
               Your lessons and for Your most "special" gift.
                 The gift of our lives, in love, honesty and in
                                          happiness.


                  We "need" to let go as the past is done,
                 the present, the future of our opportunity,
   as You would have it, full of consciousness, awareness and
                                               hope.
      
                      We "will" carry on Your legacy.                     
                     Peaceful, harmonized and grateful,
              like the fresh bloom of the white gladiolus,
         we celebrate all that is beautiful in this bouquet of
                                                life.


            Thank You "Dad" from the bottom of our hearts.
                       We are "blessed" by You.
                   In this life, past lives, and the next.
                          In the end we will always
                                         remember.


                                          Forever.


                            Enjoy Your rest in peace,
                   with love, humbleness and gratitude.


                                             Paul


Many thanks to my dear friend Darrell Cassidy, for once again,
taking my words and producing a work that will be cherished forever.

Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 13.

Through the inspirations of my spiritual mentor Dr. Wayne Dyer,
I have undertaken this year, (as he did in 2006), the teachings of the
eighty-one verses of the "Tao Te Ching." Legend says that the "Tao"
(pronounced "Dao") was written by the prophet "Lao-tzu" some five
hundred years before the birth of Christ. The interpretations of the words
Tao is "The Way" Te is "The Shape and Power" and Ching is "The Book."
It has been called "one of the profoundest books in world philosophy."
For my references I have been studying the interpretations and teachings of
Dr. Dyer from his book "Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life."
In the spirit of Eagle Eye, here is my inspired (poetic) interpretation of
Verse 13.

                       Independent.


            The independent mind seeks,
                           not that,
                  the opinion of others,
                    but it's own truth;
                    Eternal, essential,
                 and perfectly aligned...
      Nourished, and in balance with it's "Way"
                            Devine.
           Flow freely, independent Source.
                Trust in the invisibleness,
          and the beauty of the immeasurable,
                               within...
                         the inner soul.
                 Every passionate thought,
                                is Spirit,
          in harmony with the uniqueness of
                              it's nature.
                 Honour the independent...
                        the natural essence,
                    and envision yourself...
                         as the guardian
                     of independent love,
                      peace and harmony,
                                for all
                                "Life."
