I am blind to color, size and shape of my fellow humans' shell in which their beautiful soul and spirit inhabit. I feel their spirit reaching out for unity. I feel their energy of love.
I am a student of life. The more I know, the more I realize I have to learn. Every day I awaken to a prayer of thanksgiving for the blessings I receive from the higher source. Thankful for what I have, no regrets for what I do not have.The world can be your canvass. You can paint your life as you feel inside.
My passion is deep and my soul often caresses my face with tears, not from pain, but from joy that I have made a connection with an energy of life. The power of a smile or a simple gesture of kindness nourishes my garden of life. My treasures are my love, smiles, kindness and soulful communication either from music, writings of poetry and inspiration or images.
My greatest happiness in life comes from giving and someone receiving my gift. To be witnessed as a fellow traveler in this journey called life on Mother Earth is the greatest compliment one can receive. If I have touched the heart of one fellow human while on the train of life I am blessed.
I believe I am energy as is everything that exists in this universe. When my journey ends, my energy simply changes its form and continues in the universe of all of things. I rise to a higher consciousness.
Emotions from Stephen November 2009
THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN
It is through a woman, a man can be complete
It is through a woman, the Creator sends his sacred life
Tears for a woman can clear the path for love
Love for a woman can make a man a better person
The warmth of a woman knows no boundaries
The body of a woman is sacred as are her heart and soul
The love from a woman is celestial bliss
In that love, man experiences Peace, Tranquility and Totality
Women are a gift to be appreciated for all times and eternity
For --- without women we would not be
Emotions from Stephen July 2009
TRUE LOVE
True love cannot be found in calm waters of the sea of life.
True love is found amidst chaos and stormy waters which projects tidal waves of seemingly unbearable emotions to the spirit and heart.
The survival of these storms is the genesis of true love, passion and compassion.
To choose to sail only in calm waters is to choose a life without true love, with limited passion and compassion.
Emotions from Stephen March 2008
FOOTPRINTS IN THE UNIVERSE
Every word spoken or written Every action taken Every thought created Every feeling experienced disseminates energy from the moment we are born and beyond the day we pass on to the Spirit World. This energy comes from all living things and creatures. From plant life, two legged, four or more legged or winged creatures!
This energy leaves a footprint in the sacred halls of the universe.While we cannot change or dismiss some footprints we have already created in our past, we can harness the positive energy!
Grasp any image, word, motion that produces positive energy that you can identify with and keep it in your heart! Suddenly you will find yourself as one with all in the universe!
The above image came from a one of a kind canvass painting done by A Spiritualist and Astrologist from Delhi, India. Her name is Balag. I acquired the painting from her husband when he came to southern California last year. I have acquired more art from her since. For some mystical reason, as soon as I saw it I had to get it. It addressed my spirit and I felt a force of positive energy. It is now hanging on my wall at our nest. I meditate either consciously or sub-consciously every time I walk near it. I am as one with all!

LOVE
A DEDICATION TO MY BELOVED
This is a movie that is one of my all time favorites. In fact this same poster is hanging on the wall of our love nest where my beloved and I share our peace and inspiration at the end of each day. There is a statement in the above poster" LOVE IS THE ONLY INSPIRATION".How true this can be when it comes to writing. In the movie it took Shakespeare to fall in love not only to overcome his "writer's block" but to change his play from a comedy to a love story called Romeo and Juliette. One look at his beloved and immediately his pen was full of ink.
Not just new found love, but pain from a lost love can spur feelings to jump onto a page. Maybe in the midst of a long term love something is said or witnessed which inspires writing. Such is true for me, in all of the above. These emotions can materialize in the form of a poem, song, music or a simple chapter in a book.
When two people share a love and a bond, a third entity evolves which has a life force of it's own. Two hearts, two spirits, two souls now see the world through the third entity. It seems as though you are experiencing life all over again. Places and things you have experienced prior to knowing your beloved suddenly are experienced as new. Everyday life becomes special and a new experience with the one you love. Suddenly I don't just see the colors of life change in the fall, I see hear the sound of each color. I just don't just see the snow in the winter, I can smell it! I don't just see the blossom of new life in the spring I can taste it. I don't just experience the warmth of Apollo's sun in the summer, it caresses me. I feel the purpose and the beauty of Mother Nature's Life cycle. The experience of the seasons with my beloved is a catalyst for my writing.
All my senses are blessed by the the woman I love, to whom I dedicate this emotion: My beloved Regina
Emotions from Stephen November 2008
Some people go to a place of worship every Sunday, some on Saturdays others on Mondays ---. A day has been set aside for the liturgy that will be heard but not always felt. The building becomes a symbol, a place of sanctuary. For many, peace and tranquility are gained from this experience inside this building. I know and understand this form of religious conviction. I was once a priest who was very good at what a priest does. Thus, I will never sit in judgment of others who may not share in my religiosity.
For me, as I have evolved, the earth is my church. I do not have certain days of worship as I experience my religion on a daily basis. I am surrounded by my church everywhere I go. I praise the "miracle" of life with each breath I take. Life , not just limited to humans but to all living creatures. I show respect and honor all. There is a Lakota Indian prayer called " Mitakuye Oyasin" which means "we are all related". It is a petition to our creator on behalf of everyone and everything on Earth for peace and unity. It is a positive energy that is sent to the entire planet for strength and awareness.
The breath of Zeus beckons the thunder, lightening and winds which dance on Mother Earth's skirt, the beautiful plains of this planet. This is my ecclesiastical music.
My choir will be the sounds of silence or that from all living creatures.
As I tread upon Mother Earth's skirt I may kneel on her as a pew. My congregation may be the trees, water, flowers, or all living creatures.
The sermon of the day is from the voice of my heart and soul to always be kind, compassionate, understanding and spiritual to all living creatures Mother Earth has bestowed us.
Emotions from Stephen August 2008
YOU DELIVERED ME
There was a time when I would sit and experience darkness and then you came into my life and delivered me from the darkness and gave me light! The source of the light is the love from your heart. I call it the
“heart light”.
Your heart is my life's light when I find myself without you in the dark. You are my lighthouse at water's edge when I am in a storm in life's sea. Your heart keeps me out of danger and safe.
You are Apollo's assistant. He gives light from the sky; you give light from your heart!
May the Gods keep your heart light shinning for the rest of the days of my life and yours, my Regina!
Emotions from Stephen July 2008
MIRACLES AND FAITH
I am very blessed to be walking this planet and sharing with you the beauty of life and all it has to offer. Some people may refer to miracles as an act against the "laws of nature", a paranormal event, beating the odds or as far as I am concerned; as the Latin word suggests, something wonderful! In looking back on my life I believe that twice I "cheated" death and was allowed to continue this life for some divine or sacred mission before I leave for the "West".
In May 1979 I tried desperately to book a flight from Chicago O'Hare airport to Los Angeles, California on American airlines, flight 191. I wanted to meet with my then girlfriend who lived in Los Angeles and from there we would drive to Las Vegas together where I was living at the time. I was not successful in getting a seat as the flight was sold out. I will spare some of the haunting details of the events which took place thereafter. American airlines flight 191 crashed after air born for no more than 2 minutes crashing into the runway killing all passengers aboard, over 270 of them. Until that day I had dreams since I was teenager that I would crash in an airplane. Since that day, those dreams have stopped.
On March 20, 2008 on a country road in Michoacan Mexico at about 7:30 PM I was asleep in a car driven by my beloved. The left front tire blew going about 70 MPH and the car went out of control and flipped over twice and landed upside down in the opposite lane of traffic. "Miraculously" the most serious injury between the two of us was to my head. I have had two surgeries in Mexico so far and I will have two more over the next 6 months. It is for cosmetic and not for health. I was informed that I had a tear to my left lung, evident from x-rays and could not leave for the states at least by air. I insisted that I was fine, having never felt the danger of loosing my life. I begged them to double check the diagnostics as I felt no impairment and such a strong need to get back to southern California and when they x-rayed me again the tear in my lung DISAPPEARED in a period of two days. The doctors could not believe it. I feel today much more energetic than before my accident. It seems that everything I touch at my business is turning into gold.
I am more positive now about life than ever before. I feel a need to share with the world that there is always hope when it seems that you are in total darkness. Thinking in a positive manner will generate positive energy. EVEN HEALING ENERGY! I strongly believe that we all have experiences and events that seem to be so disappointing and dark but that even from those experiences you can extract positive energy! Seek that special light power you have in you and become that powerful person you are capable of!
In 2007 I experienced a failed relationship. The evolution of the separation of which revealed that it was the most dark and negative relationship I have ever experienced with my fellow human, male or female. What is interesting about this, is that the depth of the darkness was not revealed until about 6 weeks after the separation on November 7th 2007 at 9:49 AM in a form of an email message that had vampiric words that sucked life from my spirit! What is even more interesting is, that I sensed this darkness long before the separation. I guess I wanted so badly for the relationship to work but my personal frailties could not salvage the relationship! Why do I mention this? Because each experience and event in our life is a cobblestone for the road to our success and dreams. Without going through the seemingly excruciating pain of this failed relationship I would not have found my way here on care2, nor my beloved and experienced the recent miraculous events which have made me so powerful with love not just for my beloved but also for my fellow human. I will write and lecture about the hope and faith which have been installed in us at birth and you may have abandoned. That you will never give up hope in the face of spiritual danger. Not even physical danger can destroy your soul which is everlasting. You will put in place a belief system that will always be a source of strength.
There now is a very special bond that exists between my beloved and me, having survived together the miracle of Michoacan, Mexico. There is absolutely nothing that can break that bond, regardless of what happens to us in the future as individuals or as a couple. This is also a bond that will be shared with the good members on care2. I have received so many requests to present my story and I am doing the best I can to get to everyone. I encourage all of you who read this billboard to go to my group, "The art of communication" for details of these miraculous events and for sources of inspiration. I love you all and embrace your friendship with an excitement to share and "be" together! Open your mind and heart and you will also experience "something wonderful"
Live life to it's fullest and be part of life's circle!
Emotions from Stephen April 2008
THE DANCE OF LIFE
My heart, soul and spirit met at the body's edge and there is a celebration... Like Mother Earth; this is a celebration of "NEW LIFE" in her beautiful expression of spring. The blanket of darkness which was thrown upon Apollo's sun in the fall, has now been uplifted and once again Apollo is shining his radiance bringing warmth back into our lives and writing his poetry of love. We are in Oestra which means that Mother Earth awakens and we are about to embark onto Beltran which is the marriage of new life which so symbolizes my new beginning.
I will dance with my beloved amidst the stars and the moon Goddess will radiate the tapestry of life with her fullness. Zeus will call upon Dionysus, God of merriment, to help celebrate in the rise of the Phoenix from the ashes of pain. Joining us will be my spirit animals, the Jaguar and the Beaver and my guardian fairy, Bridget, will accompany us in what we call in Greek: O XOROS TIS ZOIS which in English is the DANCE OF LIFE!
Emotions from Stephen March 2008
Psyche and Eros
Two Greek deities who are my favorite being that my background is rich in Greek Mythology. This image expresses my Pathos (greek for passion) , deep in life, in love and my essence!
My passion for the Native American Indian is deep. I love and respect the people who are most in contact with mother Earth and all her spirits! I have developed so many brothers and sisters in spirit on this site.
Wolves are sacred to Native Americans. For many they are their spirit animals. Please support the preservation of these beautiful animals, our brothers and sisters!
I find it amazing that events in our life, tragic or otherwise, spur the essence of who we are. I am proud to say I am a survivor of a brutal attack on my spirit and heart. In November 2007 I experienced the most challenging, vicious out of control anger from another human. This has caused deep pain that will probably come with me to the spirit world as I affectionately refer to as "going into the west". HOWEVER I thank the great spirit for allowing me to experience this pain. In me I had the spirit to write but it took pain to bring it out in me. I rediscovered myself and now know that I am a very passionate person who is spiritual but not dogmatic. I believe in the spirituality of the earth. I believe painful experiences we have can be instruments of creativity. We can gain a lesson from pain and channel it to productivity. Some of the best music, songs, movies and poetry have come from pain. The loss of someone I once loved was painful but yet necessary to bring me to the point my spirit and heart have evolved. I do pray that the Gods watch over that wonderful soul which inhabits a weary shell of a body and protect her.
I am looking to improve myself with each breath and be with those while in this realm who share the same appreciation for mother earth and all the great mystical powers this world has to offer. To inspire others to be at peace within and with others. I feel the core of any relationship is communication, whether it is the spoken or written word. Whether it is in images, sounds or scents. Whether it is in a certain touch. If you block communication, you will be deprived of a connection that could be make you a better person and this place called earth a better place to live. We can be open to all forms of communication from all living creatures and nature.
I do have a place in my heart for the American Indian. I feel the American Indians have the best awareness of all the elements of mother earth and all living creatures with their spirits. We can learn from our native people how to best live in harmony with all living creatures. My spirit animals are the Jaguar and Beaver as I have been told by my brother in spirit, Chief Runningfox. I had always known I have been guided by the Jaguar but I now know the Beaver stands close to me at all times, wise and very creative with passion.
We must learn how to respect the need for each person's requirement for solitude and introspection that will eventually lead to a sacred unity and harmony for a peaceful voyage into the "West". Know thy self first and be true to thy self. Only then can you be true to others and help others. To help make this world to be a better place! Peace be to all these wonderful people on this site who share a common goal to make our journey in this life a rewarding one! I NOW LOVE MYSELF and I am ready to help others in the quest of sacred unity!
I was very involved in the church who became very dis-enchanted with structured religion. I still maintain my spirituality but it is more from the elements of the earth than from a scripture or book.
My Philosophy
Having studied in Greece with a degree in Theology and Philosophy for six years I could talk all day long. I believe the soul drives the spirit and the spirit controls the heart. The brain records all events of our life and it is the events of our life which makes us who we are today. Knowing thyself and being true to thyself will assure you are in the right path in this journey we call life on earth.
What Gives Me Hope
All the poems, books, paintings, movies, created by those very talented people who offer a dream of positive energy for a peaceful journey we have on this earth.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Encourage environmental awareness and preserve the planet in the state it was created so future generations may benefit from it's wonderful and multi faced spirit. That peace is the most important factor in earth's preservation.
What/who changed my life and why
Lord of the Rings. Gandhi. Mount Athos in Greece. Because I see good being victorious over evil. I learned meditation and soul searching finding tranquility amidst chaos. Each experience in life teaches us more of who we are. To know thyself with all the frailties and goodness makes one more at peace with himself and others around him. What scares me is ignorance and biases based on perceptions which are developed from childhood. We must discover ourself so that we can overcome the enemy of peace.
