Leap in Faith

Leap in Faith

I often laugh, I seldom cry
tears of pain cut sharply
washed my face, accepted grace
replace them with tears of happiness, tears from answered prayer
change of location, change of place

I am a product of my experience
the culmination of choice
I have been many people, switching roads, lowering my voice
who is right is not the key
rather the resonance in myself, truth to me

I use the word peace so often
how I think, how I project
peace means something different on the sea
if you carry it you can share it, yet we all choose
Unless my path is my own, the word has no worth

I may drift, I might loose direction
not every moment is filled with zeal
adrenalin charged moments cannot last
look to the future and run back to the past

Healed with forgiveness, in unison with self
maybe it all does make sense
I did not start the war
OK I'm ready ... turns the handle, opens the door





Small bench to hurdle, massive leap in faith

Wow. Absolutely beautiful, Eric. I had tears in my eyes, calm in my soul, and warm hugs in my heart for you. We are all on a path of learning and growing. I'm so grateful that my path has crossed with yours so often through the interweebs.

Speedy Speedy Speedy cat
He knew where the peace was at
Plotted map points, packed his hat
Leapt from this habitat to thatitat.

With such wisdom he went far
Peace became his shining star
Followed it... went in his car
Hash brown fueled and "under par"

Arrived at "home" with fuel to spare
Found some neighbors waiting there.
A woman in a chicken suit,
A poet rebel, some coots, some hoots,
This neighborhood, it rocks, it rolls
And speedy leads the fun patrols

"Neighbors unparalleled" they all became
"Friends" would be another name
Bacon blasters at the ready
Altered paintings, music steady
The fun is found here every day
So glad that Speedy found his way

Cuz now our lives are that much better
With Speedy's humor double headers
but under all of that we see
A man at peace, a good man he be
We love Speedy! His neighbors cry
Let's all have a bacon fry!

We'll end with marshmallows that are toasted
And hamburgers. They'll be roasted
we'll sit round the fire
we'll toast each other
Cuz all of us ... we're all like brothers ... sorta. Except for the part where some of us are girls... but who could do without our curls?

So thanks to every neighbor present
It's the "combinative" that makes this blog "extra" pleasant.


Smoooootches to Speedy and all of you's! Wendster

I love you Speedy cat.

I hope you find all of the GOOD doors open easily for you. After all ... I ran ahead and sprayed them all with W-D 40 (water displacement test number forty, that is!~ You should have seen what I came up with the other 39 times. I keep number 22 around ... it's mighty handy.)

smootch blam blam blam BACON!!!
