"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."

- Mathilde Blind - "April Rain"

 


 I wish you dear Friend a weekend with peace
and that you enjoy Mother Earth beauty.

can cross the path of our destiny
 without leaving some mark on it forever."

"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

"In designing any type of construction,
no overall dimension can be totalled correctly
 after 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
The correct total will become self-evident
at 8:15 a.m. on Monday."

Reasons to Smile:

- Remember its quite true to say
       One smile is worth a dozen frowns.
- It enriches those who receive,
Without making poorer those who give.
- Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap.
- The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.
- And after all this my dear Friend
Just give a big one: it's Weekend



... so, I wish you a wonderful one.
And, smile dear Friend
With Love

From old to new!

Only a night from old to new!
Always a night from old to new!
And in the first day,
My wishes are few:
The beginning of the end
Of all wars in the world
That all the soldiers safe return home
The beginning of the end
Of the prejudice, intolerance, racism
Hunger, greed, attacks to life.
After that night is the first new dawn
And may we can start from the beginning,
Living together, without haste
In union with kind Mother Earth.



... I wish you a new year full of Love and Peace
 my Friend

"When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on. When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness. For some of us, the most effective way to do so is through religious practice. For others it may be non-religious practices. What is important is that we each make a sincere effort to take our responsibility for each other and for the natural environment we live in seriously."
HH the Dalai Lama

"A friend is someone
 who dances with you in the sunlight and,
 walks with you in the shadows.
 Is someone
 who stays there in silence and,
 hears what you say no mater the subject.
 Walks by your side and,
 behind you and catchs if you stumble.
 A FRIEND is a gift, a treasure to keep,to honour,
 whom we give a permanent place in our hearts."



... I love you sweet friend and,
 I wish you a wonderful weekend.

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
Ana

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)

is still in our power. Earth is our home

so let us thank Her giving a chance to cure

the wounds we made."

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

A true Friend

A true friend never walks away
A true friend will always stay
A true friend looks out for you

A true friend tries to make you smile
Tries to replace that frown
They may not always succeed
But they rarely let you down

My arms for you are open
This heart for you does care
And when I think you need me
I'll try to always be there.



... with Love
Ana

Friends

There's nothing as nice
As someone who shares,
Your laughter, your secrets,
Your wishes and cares,
Someone who's there
Through your good times and tears,
Who stays by your side
As your friend through the years.




... with Love

Ana

"We call that person who has lost his
father, an orphan; and a widower that
man who has lost his wife. But that
who has known the immense
unhappiness of losing a friend,
 by what name do we call him?
 Here every language is silent
 and holds its peace
in impotence."




... have a peaceful weekend my dear friend

With Love

Ana

Standing by,
All the way.
Here to help you through your day.

Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.

Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.



... have a wonderful weekend my dear friend

... my sweet friend Laura . May you always be blessed with Love, Peace, Joy and True Friendship.
