"The people I'm furious with
are the women's liberationists.
They keep getting up on soapboxes
and proclaiming
women are brighter than men.
That's true, but it should be kept quiet
or it ruins the whole racket."

- Anita Loos -
 New York Times, 10 February 1974

 

 ... I simply love this quote.
I hope that it makes you smile

"And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret;
it is only with the heart
that one can see rightly,
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
 
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery -

What if you slept?
And what if,
in your sleep, you dreamed?
And what if, in your dream,
you went to heaven
and there plucked a strange
and beautiful flower?
And what if,
when you awoke,
you had the flower in your hand?
Ah, what then?

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge -

 

... I wish you my dear Friend
 a week full of dreams

Good Bye Moon

We have roamed the wild country
We have seen mountains grow from hills
With my brothers and sisters
And now our time has came
The two-legs have come in
And killed all of our prey
We are all so confused
Because what have we done?
The two-legs killed my mother
My brothers and sisters too
The two-legs has got me.
I'll be with my family soon.
Now the two-legs is over me
As I get one last look
At my boloved moon.



... with Love
Ana

CONNECTED TO OUR MOTHER

If you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
The sun makes the plants,
Animals eat the plants,
The humans eat the animals,
and Earth needs the humans to take care of it.
So you see, as you stare
into the endless sky,
we live from our Mother Gaia's birth,
and if you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
And we all, plants, animals, humans,
are children of the Earth

Kindness to Animals

Little children, never give
Pain to things that feel and live
Let the gentle robin come
For the crumbs you save at home
As his meat you throw along
He’ll repay you with a song.
Never hurt the timid hare
Peeping from her green grass lair
Let her come and sport and play
On the lawn at close of day.
The little lark goes soaring high
To the bright windows of the sky
Singing as if t'were always spring
And fluttering on an untired wing
Oh! Let him sing his happy song
Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.



... and a blessed week sweet friend
With Love

The Unicorn
Mane the colour of churning foam
 or snow on a moonlit night
Like dandelion seed fluff as fine as cirrus
 in the morning light
Each eye like a stormy whirlpool
 in the dark, swirling sea,
Her horn casts rainbow haloes
 which shimmer beautifully
Pearly coat of liquid silver
 like a glossy sheet of ice
White feathers at her cloven hooves
 as soft and quiet as mice
In the moonlight she gallops gracefully
 like a shadow on the sea
With softness, sweetness and purity
 she looks across to me.
by Anna (aged 11)

... may your week be full of Love

Let Me Live
The darkness is closing in
Soon I will be gone
Why do I deserve this?
I've done nothing wrong.
I'm thrown in to a crate
I feel so cold and alone
I wonder what's next
The future is unknown.
Hundreds of others around me
Screaming for their parents
I know they will not come
They've been shot protecting us.
Everyday this happens
Innocent animals killed for money
Another day, another kill
It's not the one bit funny.
Do your self a favour
If not for you, for your future kids
Save us endangered animals
Please just let us live!
by Amy Carnes (aged 10)

You have a special place in my heart
The place that will never empty
You take up the biggest space
When your sick
I will be there to confort
When you hurt yourself
I will be there to help
When you heart gets broken
I will find the peaces
No matter where you go
Whatever you do
I will be here for you
No matter what happens
Always know I love you
In every way I can
I will give you my heart
Every last bit of it
I give you my Love
All I have in it.



... thank you my friend

Ana

"Challenges make us discover things
about ourselves that we never really knew.
So, some make it happen,
some watch it happen,
and some say: - "What happened?".
And we know that yesterday is but a dream,
and tomorrow is only a vision,
but today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

What does Love means?
A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
Love is like a smile
Love is like a song
Love is a great emotion
That keeps us going strong.
All the love that history knows
Is said to be in every rose.
Is the silence between friends
The warm hug that never ends.
The word we need to hear
The faithful friend
Tha is always near.
All of that is Love
All of that is true.
And be certain sweet friends
THAT is what I feel for you

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own,
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain,
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.

... have a peaceful week  dear friend
With Love
Ana

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

... with Love

Ana

Could we but draw back the curtain,
That surrounds each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit;
Know what spur the action gives;
Often we would find it better,
Purer then we think we would.
We would love each other better,
If we only understood.




... with Love

Ana

"Someone has said that a friend is a bank
of credit on which we can draw supplies
of confidence, counsel, sympathy, help,
and love. And that is true, for if you have
a genuine friend, you possess riches greater
than silver or gold. Which, of course, brings
us to the other sideof the question:
are you, and am I, the kind of friend
that others can treasure?"




... with Love

Ana

"The friendship that can cease
 has never been real."



... I wish you a peaceful week my dear friend

"Nothing is great
like friendship on earth.
 No jewel no pearl has got it's worth.
 No one except a friend
 can be trusted.
Your life will never ever get rusted."




... I wish you a great week my dear friend

With Love
