TRANSCRIPT
Let’s become the
thread to weave the
hammock of life
Our patterns connect
and intertwine
This weave is yours as
well as mine
Should your knot fall
out of place
Release all fear, just
fall back
Rest yourself and take
a break
Your brothers & sisters
will fix your mistake
Behold the thread be-
comes indulged in light
Yet, not all of the
pieces
shine so bright
Dripping with dark
Persistent to stay
These beloved beings
have lost their way
They see no choice
Blinded by fear
The path they cannot
see
Because darkness
blocks ones clarity
Once we awaken the
power within
The light will spread
And darkness cannot
win
Love is the magic that
sparkles bright gold
It is the heart of ever
tale told
It is all there is and
ever will be
For, this hammock
was never meant for
you
Or even for me
Just one spark is
enough to ignite
protection
It is up to us
Let’s light this dark-
ness infection
Just one drop of love
can light the path
So we can come to
meet our beloved fate
For god to rest in the
hammock that to-
gether we create.

The Hammock of life by Malia Aragon Artwork by Hayden Narumi
2day is the 2morrow and
changes are worrying
Change now 2 sustain a
future 4 every 1.
Climate changes are on
and more is a coming
Survival of the cruellest
must not be the tone.
Well being that shares and
cares is far healthier,
Than a changing that
flourishes when only a few
do their best.
Human kind continues 2
economise eachother,
Be the change
Be the climate change
that insures all life on
earth equal success,

Golden moment. You’re willing to play the hero, the fool or whatever hand fate deals you. Occupy my attention as our little star. The glorious Sun. There’s a hero in my midst one who can defeat the dragon for me. What magic is this someone I once desired is back in my life destiny someone bares his soul. Histories, needs, obligations having the qualities the other lack for a healthy relationship. was a glorious time I want the same feeling again. The right one has arrived. A new start. Happily get to know me all over again. Once in a life time transit and that special illusion a cosmic fog crowded with moving stars compelling me to make a decision that binds us two for the immediate future. Love will lead you a golden moment.

A Golden Moment by Renae C Howlett
Leben ist Veränderung! by Sabine Schäfer
Das Leben ist Veränderung,
Jeden Tag und jede Minute,
Manchmal schmerzlich, manchmal mit grosser Hoffnung,
Es wählt nie den Weg,den man vermute.
Das Leben ist Veränderung,
Manchmal mehr, als man verkraftet,
Man braucht all die Kraft und die Bestätigung,
Dass es sich lohnt, das man an ihm haftet.
Das Leben ist Veränderung,
Manchmal sehne ich mich nach Stillstand,
Es zehrt an meinen Nerven, mehr als jede andere Herausfor-
derung,
Ich will Ruhe und keinen sinnlosen Widerstand.
Das Leben ist Veränderung,
Ich mache diese nicht mit freien Willen,
Mein Körper schreit vor lauter Verwunderung,
Im Angesicht der vielen zu schluckenden, bitteren Pillen.
Mein Leben braucht Veränderung,
Jeden Tag und jede Minute,
Ich will auch diese Veränderung,
Nur nicht die, die ich leider vermute.
Sabine Schäfer 2005 diagnosed with Multiple Sklerosis

Be Think Love Peace
I sat and asked myself one day, "What does this life hold for me?"
Thoughts came flooding to me about today's society.
Morals deteriorating
News devastating.
Terrorists penetrating.
People still discriminating.
Feels like someone has played a sick joke on me
It’s like waking up from a night-mare only to find out its reality.
I feel so alone, surrounded by millions of souls that don't take
note
of the little wonderful things life has purposed.
Stop! and smell the roses!
Take the time to figure out
what truly is important
and what you could not live without.
No matter how hard you try
or what you may work for,
there will be a time to cry.
And for us all, there will be a closing door.
None of the material clatter
That you have worked so hard
to acquire and maintain will matter.
Only the bonds of Love will re-main.
Have you helped another person because of your heart
and not for what you gain?
Even if it was something you'd rather not do?
Did you try when you could to help someone
get through?
Did you make them feel guilty
or expect too much in return?
Do you honestly try?
Do you honestly learn?
Too much hatred.
Too much jealousy.
Too many people that turn the other cheek
because it may cause an inconvenience
in their own routine.
Schools let children fall through
the cracks.
Teachers lose hope
due to the appreciation and money
they lack.
Parents not taking responsibility.
The children’s needs are out of sight.
Too busy dwelling on their own
childhood issues, instead of
turning what is wrong into
what is right.
Each generation more intelligent
yet more corrupt.
The outcome of society
has become debauchery and
chaos.
War and money
seem to be the goals of our na-tion.
What happened to One Love?
Where is the preservation from harm, loss, or ruin..
that is salvation?
When will we turn our cheeks
back the other way?
When will we raise up our voices
and Clearly say...
That we are NOT going to take this breakdown of Humanity!
We are NOT going to stand for this moral decay.
How much longer will we bite our tongues?
How much longer will we delay?
When will truly be the change that
we want to see?
Let's stand up Together!
You and Me!
For One Love!
For One Family!
For every thought and feeling
that come from heart and mind...
whether positive or negative..
you send out electromagnetic vibes.
Be Love.
Think Peace.
Be the Change
You want to See.
Respect every animal, plant, ocean
and human just the same.
With compassion and understanding.
Let go of bitterness and blame.
So what does this life hold for me?
The possibilities are as many as my
heart believes.
We must be the change we want to see
for each and every one.
Let us All be the Caretakers of Earth.
All Humans Under One Sun.

"The Essence of Life"
Live life to its fullest with every passing day,
In times of hurt and heartache, and in times of
pain.
Visualize what life could be, not what you’re told
it should.
Enjoy the company of others and serve the com-
mon good.
Laugh with all your might though you want to cry.
And take life with a grain of salt; don’t let it pass
you by
Use your imagination for it truly encompasses the
world.
Give of yourself freely and let your heart unfurl.
Hold your loved ones close to your heart and
never let them go.
Love yourself and others, whether friend or foe.
Open your mind to experience, and always be
open to change.
Visualize your dreams and ideas not fearing what
they’ll say.
Enjoy every single moment, for it may be your
last.
Savour today,
Dream of tomorrow,
And never forget your past.
Live, Laugh & Love and anything is possible!

In the depth of my being Is the strength of my seeing
The open heart The open mind
The unity of my plight (flight)
Cruel it is to despair Creating greyness in the air
Flush it out its only mud Allow yourself to feel the love
In the depth of my being
Is the strength of my seeing The open heart The open mind
The unity of my plight
It’s like a seed which we all have Waiting to be cultivated in the sun (son)
Feel the roots grow deep within Creating wisdom aligned with love
Outward radiating as it blooms For all to see

Love

A Secret Lair
If you were willing,
I would carry you there,
deep into the jungle,
to a secret lair I have prepared,
just for us to share.
A gentle stream flows through it,
a bed of moss so fine,
a nightingale sings sacred songs,
uplifting,
and divine.
magic mushrooms wink and smile,
as salamanders dance,
silver moths shine brightly,
crickets chirping our romance,
If you were willing,
I would like to take you there,
deep into the jungle,
to a secret lair I have prepared,
just for us to share,
our sacred, precious, intimate love
Listening To The Wind
I was listening to the wind today
it beckoned me
whispering your name
unleashing a legion of fire breathing
dragons
from deep inside my veins
splashing onto my glistening skin
frolicking, rejoicing
dancing in a torrid ecstasy
gliding across my quivering body
saturating me with your swirling
passion
and at the height of their celebration
I heard a faint distant sound
a stirring from deep within
a rustling of leaves in a primeval forest
expanding into a thunderous drum
rendering all of my senses asunder
my breath inhaled you
my every pore exhaled you
as the splendour of your precious liquid
love, erupted
overflowed
giving golden wings to my grateful
heart
carrying me to the edge of the universe
I lay there smiling
as the dragons marched into my eyes
returning to their peaceful slumber
I was listening to the wind today
it spoke to me
and whispered your name.

I am always changing
Sometimes for you
Sometimes for them
Mostly for me
I am the change this earth seeks
As are you
Black Horse behind me I Look at you with gratitude, I will
not hold your reins anymore. White horse I ride you Now,
not further than the present moment. Take me where I
see the mist full baby blue mountains, Shhhh don't tell me
of the purple iris ahead, I do not need to know. Let us ride
hard and smell the ionic Sky, I will grace the weeping wil-
lows, as I pass them by.

and aching to heal. Unfinished souls, in a world so "seemingly" unfair Perfect souls, trapped in pain and despair. A string for each a beam of Light from above All are in reach of this Light It is Love! Open your Heart set yourself free Play Your part in this Great Symphony!
SimplyMeTabby 2000
Tabitha Johnston One big beam steady and strong United together in an unfinished song. Each note, each cord, each Light that shines.. Even the darkness sings so Devine. Through time and space we all strive for the same To experience Peace To master the game. One step at a time.... each move counts a great deal. Striving to shine

The Measure Of My Worth © Robyn Gabrielle Stewart-Burns
Be the change
You were born to be
Reach the height
Of impeccability
Be the change
You were meant to be
Be the example
for others to see
Be the change
Your self renew
Excel yourself
This you can do
Be the change
That is needed here
Transform yourself
With others share
The change you'll be
Is within your range
With other selves
You'll then engage
The change we'll be
Will transform the earth
The higher reason
For human birth
my knowledge to expound
upon our earth,
Or my photographed self,
in magazines stored upon the
shelf?
No, tis not my educated self
nor photos that sit upon a
shelf.
Tis not the clothes or jewels
you see or made up face re-
flected back at me.
No, tis not an angels voice you
hear nor a face upon a screen
that’s dear.
Tis not possessions of a
worldly kind or a name printed
upon a sign.
It is something far more
precious I see, that has been
entrusted to me.
“It is the best that I can
be, in all my humanity”
If that be so, then I say,
tis “the measure of my
worth”
I pray…
What is the measure of my
worth I say
Of gathered things upon the
worldly stage I pray?
Be the singing voice of an
angel the media exclaim,
Or the person upon the silver
screen proclaimed?
The clothes of fashion upon
my frame
with jewels that glitter upon
the same,
Of coloured hair straightened
and curled
and a made up face to look
upon the world?
Perhaps it’s my educated worth

Please let it be seen in guiltless steps This coming together, a quickening ex-
pressed The veil has been lifted The Gods have shown
Without a choice This fable is known
To listen, to feel, to touch, and know The essence of each other, the Christ now
beholds To breathe in the arms of this bodily em-
brace The union of mystic and cosmic embrace We speak of individuality and the expres-
sion of the soul The workings of love and all it beholds The life of one, joined in freedom with
another Is fraught with prejudices outside of each
other Past meetings entwined with future hold Is now set in place and ready to unfold
The foreground is laid The scene is set
Each plays their part within this time and space
For good or for ill, this is our choice For we colour and fill it with each response
Our attitudes, perceptions, in positive approach
Allows the freedom of individual growth With experience comes wisdom and
generosity of Spirit This Love is magnified and mirrored across
The Cosmic heart, the Cosmic mind The reflection of the Brotherhood of man-
kind In your face, your body we see
Illuminated
The Mystic Vision of the Rose
A Fable Of Love by
Lia Lucioni
Look Towards Yourself
Live each day as though it is your last,
Live each day in truth and love.
Remember what it is to be peaceful, Remember how to sit and just be.
Look deep within yourself to find the truth, Look towards the Universe to find your des-
tiny.
Seek understanding it creates more knowl-edge,
Seek to tear all the barriers down.
Forgiveness is not just for the perpetrator,
Forgiveness is for the maligned as well.
Happiness infects all it encounters, Happiness is spread with kind words and a
smile.
Love is the answer to all of our problems, Love is the only answer we need.
Know that the way to complete joy is truth,
Know that the only truth is Love....

The March Of Peace by
Rahad Daughtrey
I was talking with a friend the other
day
And she asked me if we burned our
bras
For nothing – since girls are targets,
just like always
And all the self-esteem shows on cable
TV
Are so much hot air blowing around
the remote.
She said she worries about the
daughters
Of her clan who might not have the
power
Their warrior mothers planned.
“We have,” she said. “To tell them, every
one
That growing up may not be fun.
That a girl must to take a moral stand
And walk away from the brutal man
Who bullies and hits and withholds his
love
While prayers fall un-answered in the
dust
Victim to his thoughtless lust.
It seems to me that little girls
Need pretty clothes and snazzy curls,
But these are not the important things –
When real girl power gives them wings
To fly above the threatened hurt
And lay the troublers' in the dirt.”
I listened well and listened long
I even wrote an anthem song
To little sisters everywhere
Who live in shadows barely there.
And to my friend, I answered more
For I can see the pain we’ve got:
Won’t action make a better plan?
Each woman then must take a stand
For their persons and their souls
And all the dreams laid dead and cold ….
For power is nothing bought nor sold
But polished like the armour
Of Boudicca and her warrior band.
Love is not blind.
Love is vision unclouded by prejudice.
Love has no hidden agenda,
Neither does she choose to bless
Only those whom the world judges
worthy.
Love chooses to embrace all
Who are willing to receive.
Love is the renewable energy source
The world constantly seeks.
Love's supply increases the more it is
shared.
Love is the Light giver that banishes
shadows
And lifts the soul from darkness.

We are the march of Peace...
The steadily growing army
of warriors of the Heart...
The hands that hold the door
so our brothers might follow
through...
Lips set smiling wide,
like Love's lantern beaming
warm welcome from within...
Our hearts the weapons of mass
disillusion
as we clear ourselves of fear,
dissolving walls of hate
with the eternal flow of hope.
Humbly walking in forgiveness,
leaving prints of Love in our
wake,
each cloaked in our own faith,
we bridge heaven and earth...
We Are the March of Peace

While you are reading
“I will be the Changed”
I dream of peaceful changes
Of wide and open spaces
Of trees, flowers and grassy spaces,
Where I run and skip with angels,
because I have a painful disease,
that ravages and enflames my mind
It haunts my lack of relationships
I’ll leave no children behind
because I’m an independent
who drags sickness signs
with a strong will to succeed
but a stronger will to survive.
For I have Jesus within me
he brightens up my life
he helps me sleep at night
and keeps me working for the light.
I know my time is nigh
when my breathe will finally die.
So, I have bequeathed my heart to
Jesus
and my spirit to his angels in the sky
And after I’ve died and been laid to
rest
I know that I will be in the place that’s
the best
and I will be the changed.
I will be at peace, at last
Next time,
before
I speak,
I will breathe.
Before I act,
I will lie down.
Before I think,
I will meditate.
Joyful Anne

Please forgive me for I have sinned, I know I'll turn and sin again.
I have this carton for my abode, I have the earth for my own bed.
I have these children that must be fed,
my children cry there is no bread.
I walk the streets without a dime the people stare they just don't care
to lend a hand or just some time.
beauty and love.
To know me, is to long
for me, to love me.
Love and I are
inter-changeable.
I am the manifestation
of your most loving
thoughts and desires.
I am the chorus of frogs,
the chatter of migrating
grackles, the roar of the
sea, the howl of the wind,
the melody of the harp,
and the laughter of a
child. Of these, the
highest musical note
A musical note am I
I am the vibration
within the silence.
Without the silence, I
would be nothing more
than a vibration of noise.
With the silence, I am of
the highest vibration
known to man. The
silence and I are One,
for we are in harmony
with each other.
I fill your world with
of all is laughter.
Laughter is the vibration
of joy, of love, of Oneness.
A truly divine musical
note. It is I who unites
your lower self with
your God Self.
Call on me, and know
that you are in the
presence of your God,
for we are united
in the great I AM.
A musical note I AM

Heal the Earth before its too late
And we find ourselves at Heavens Gate
And, as entry is refused without an invite
Having killed our planetary Home in spite
We will all be cast back down to hell
Murderers, bystanders and innocents as well.
Free life and live for Love
Don't chain the Dove
That brings new dreams
And hope in streams.
Let loose all your goodness
And that of your friends
Don't be afraid to give
You wont look foolish in the end.
What use are guns when we are all dead
Just concentrate on making bread
What use is speed when there is no hurry
You only have this life, take your time, don't worry
What use is hate when we all want peace
Spread your Love and live at ease
What use are fights when there is calm
Live together in harmony, what's the harm?
What use is greed when nothing is left
Share all you have, you know it's best
What use is this life unless we can be
Together, forever contented and free?!
