maybe someone can tell me so I can link to that page.
If there is a problem with it's use please let me know.






Are You There

Are you there?
Please tell me where.

I wander here and there.
I look for thee,
Tho' some came near,
They were not for me.

To the East, West, North and South,
Mountain top to desert floor,
Searching valleys and
Even Ocean shore.
I search but have not found.

I hunt for you,
One that can be true.
Someone to share
You with me,
Me with you.

Being Free to be,
This we can agree,
Is Good for you,
And good for me.

But being alone is cold.
Someone warm and near,
Someone quiet and bold.
This is what I search so dear.

Someone to share
Each day and night,
All that life does offer.

You are you.
I am me.
Together we are we.

Are you looking, too?
I search for you,
You wait for me.

Are you there?
Please tell me where.

Look At Me

Look at me, what do you see?
Do you see the façade or me
What you saw is my mask
which I put on as if it weren’t such a task.
You saw someone always ready
to reach out and hold you steady.
Someone who seemed full of joy and smiles
helping you see your life as worthwhile.
But if you saw me for who I am
you would see I too need a comforting hand.
I was a strong tower to lean on
but that tower just caved in.
No more can I hide
the problems inside.

You were so used to seeing me strong
How could anything be wrong?
Yet, to truly see me for me
one would have to see the grief
Did you find the pain, the sorrow
my wish there be no tomorrow?
What about the hurt, the tears,
the problems, the worries and fears?
When you looked is this what you saw?
No, because you didn’t see me at all.







Has there ever been a time in your life
when you just needed someone to talk to?
Someone to listen to your point of view?
Without telling you right or wrong
or making judgments on you?
Has there ever been a time in
your life when you just needed a hug?
From someone who cares
who will just give you one because they care?
Has there ever been a time in your life
when you needed to lean on someone?
Someone who would just cuddle up with you
and hold you as you both sat quietly?
Has there ever been a time in your life
when you just felt blue?
Not knowing exactly what was wrong
but not knowing what to do?
I think many of us feel this way at different times
and that is when we turn to good
friends and family to help us through.
I want you to know that I am here
to listen and not to judge
. To offer you a smile
and to hug you
and hold you when you are feeling blue.


ME

By Kay Lafley

I walked in darkness
not knowing who I was or
where I was going...
living my life in a fog...
being who people wanted or thought me to be....
allowing myself nothing of me.
Then came the light..
a beautiful bright light,
that opened my eyes.. opened my heart....
the light was a love deep and profound..
A love so strong,
so forgiving,
so unconditionally pure..
It made me see..
it made me feel...
what was not allowed to see and felt before...
And some I saw I did not like.
I hid from me. I hid from he..
The light grabbed me by the hand..
the light helped me open myself to see
what I did not want to see ..
to understand that I am me
and to know who that me is.
The light is not just light
but understanding and love in human man.
He gives deeply of himself to many..
some accept..some reject..
but give he does to each and all.
Unable to accept himself for who he is..
he gives himself nonetheless...
in hopes that others can see what he sees
and feel what he feels...
to help them find who they may be.
He feels their pain. He feels their joy.
He sees inside where even they do not see.
You are you and I am me....
joined together by he.
Many fight and many deny...
but in the end...
you are you and I am me
and he is he...we are we.
Your heart and spirit live
on in many and all around us all.

Dedicated to a very special friend
who helped me to see that I am me
and to understand who that me is.
Peter Maquire (ozwombat)
you are loved in this life,
in past lives, and in future
lives by so many..thank you


Walking through life there will be many people
who cross paths, bringing each other one teaching or another.
That is the way of Spirit. To understand
these teachings, one must understand
that there are many paths set before us --
regardless of what road you're on.
Walking the Red Road can be a long and difficult,
albeit rewarding journey. If it is the one path
of your choice, along the way you will see many things.



"Humankind has not woven the web of life...
We are but one thread within it...
Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves...
All things are bound together...
All things connect"








Dear friends,
Sometimes it is easy to forget how special we are.
We can feel like we aren't very good
at something or wish that we were like someone else.
However, God made us each the way we are.
We each have a special purpose in our lives.
No matter who you are,
you are special.
We are all unique and have our own wonderful
qualities that we can share with others.
Instead of looking at others disabilities,
why not focus on others talents.
We all have something to offer.
We can share with each other and help each other grow,
by sharing what we have
and not worrying about what we don't have.
Remember God made you!
He knows what is best for you!
He made you the way you are for a reason.
Don't get down by what you aren't,
but look up because of who you are!
You are Special!
Don't forget that! :)

Your friend,
HGBear
