The Bridges

Breathe.
Breathe.
Wingspan reaching into eternity.
My left into the past,
My right into the future.
Each touching forever.
And I am here, now.
Breathe.
Breathe.
The everlasting filling my lungs,
Until all I can do is breathe.
Breathe.
God is within and without,
And now God is within and without..
Me.

The Gypsy

So I'm back,
To the velvet
Underground.
Back to the floor,
That I love.
To a room
With some lace,
And paper flowers.
Back to the gypsy
That I was.
To the gyspy
That I am.

And it all comes down to you.
Well you know that it deos.
That lightning strikes
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Oh and lights up the night,
And you see your gypsy.
You see your gypsy.

To the gypsy
That remains,
Faces freedom
With a little
Fear.
I have no fear!
I have only love!
And if I was a child
And a child was enough.
Enough for me to love,
Enough to love.

She is dancing
Away from you now.
She was just a dream,
She was just a wish.
And a memory is all that is left for you now.
You see your gypsy,
You see your gypsy.
You see your gypsy, ohh...

- "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac

may you rest in peace

May the energies you carried in life cycle around to be born again.

Renewed, awakened, to bring light upon the darker places and times of this world.

May all of your loose ends be tied to new beginnings.

May your harmonious existence, no matter how short, propel its children on to a more evolved and happy creation.

May love surround and protect you now and always.

I Wish You Enough..

I have to thank Merrick for E-Mailing this to me. I wish you enough, Merrick! I've taken the story and proof-read it a little.

I Wish You Enough

Recently I overheard a mother and her daughter in their last moments together in an airport. They had announced the departure of her flight. Upon this announcment the mother turned to her daughter and said, "I love you, and I wish you enough." The daughter then said, "Our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough to, mom."

They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother then walked over to the window where I was seated. I could tell that she wanted and needed to cry.

I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"

"I have," I said,"but how do you know this good-bye is forever?"

"I am old and she lives so far away. The reality is - that her next trip back here will be for my funeral."

"When you were saying good-bye, you said,"I wish you enough." What does that mean?"

She began to smile. "That is a wish that has been handed down many generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She then paused for a moment as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled at me with tears in her eyes.

"When we said that we mean that we want the person to have a life fulfilled with enough good things to sustain them."

Turning toward me she recited,"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough hardship so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.."

With that she turned to the window and began to cry.

They say it takes one minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but it takes a lifetime to forget them.

To all of my friends and loved ones, I wish you enough.
