Thoughts on pigeons

Every day I sit on my veranda to look at the homing pigeons or at least that is what we called them in St.Kitts. Twice a day they are released to their never ending gratitude to be free in mother earth. Twice a day they sit on a wire between two buildings and fly around when they feel like it. I fly with them,I jump off the top of the building with them and what a joy to be free with them. Sometimes a few of them walk on the narrow top and when they reach the end the simply free fall and fly back to the wire. They don’t seem to need conversation, just to sit in each other’s company. I don’t know how they know when to go home but they do and i sense an acceptance to this comfortable routine. I also am grateful to experience such simple Joy and I give thanks to God!

Thoughts to share

Well, in Lebanon we have entered our fifth lockdown. It has become routine and response is automatic, stock up, see your friends ,pay your bills and get ready for another holiday.
I think teachers and education are taking quite a big slap. Doctors and health care workers, honestly I sympathize with them as what they are doing is beyond incredible, God be with them all. There is no way we can possibly repay them, I pray that God will do that as it’s more than humans can do so God must be with them each and every day.
I think in Lebanon we got more than our share of disaster, what with our political state, financial state and name it , anything else. Anyhow my philosophy is whatever, smile, whatever happens will take me to my path, my goal.
Sometimes we plan and plan and we don’t know where we are going and then sometimes in the dark we find our way.
Going to read now and then watch a movie, say some prayers and probably some housework. These lockdowns have my flat super tidy and clean. I am also learning new recipes without meat and chicken, getting better each day. Praise be to God!!!

Bubbles of happiness

Hang on to your bubbles

Of happiness

Hang on to the light joy

Of sunshine

Hang on to the song

Of birds

But most of all

Hang on hang on

To those you love

A big bubble

Of the essence Joy

Giving thanks to God

Life has so much to offer, even when the way is dark, we know the light will soon shine to show us the way, and I say each day,thank you God!

Tired morning

Awakening to a tired morning
I remember to give thanks for
A new day
Another chance
To taste
Life in all it’s glory
And then
Somehow
The morning isn’t so tired
After
All

Smile

Smile when you’re happy
Smile………when…….you’re……sad
Smile and the sun
Will shine
Again….
