Why I Blog



Why I Blog

As Included from the side bar of about me.





     Sometimes we hear the tree in the forest when it falls, sometimes not… Life is a discovery process, & with it our mutual search for peace in our hearts, & in our world at large. Love & acceptance is the key.
     I am now a mother & a grandmother, but during my childhood’s generation many of us were given limited choices if we wanted any type of job outside the home. The word career was never mentioned. We were often told to become teachers, secretaries, waitresses, & nurses. I chose the later. It suited who I was, & as I delved into it year upon year I acquired knowledge & skills I never would have achieved in any other way, because the nursing profession provides unique human experiences which not only helps our patients to heal, but enriches the lives of our fellow/ fella nightingales too.  All of which further developed my desire for- peaceful solutions in all matters.
     The purpose of this blog is a hint of what all human beings desire whether verbalized or not… “The Peace Poles you find all over the world has this phrase posted on various sides written out in multiple languages-

“May Peace Prevail On Earth”,

of which we work for it’s possibility -
One Person, One Nation, at a time.

Books and Things



Books And Things 



    


     I can remember my first day of school, my first sleepover at a friend's & also the arrival of new siblings that became an integral part of our family. These are just a few life chapters that come to mind. One other that stands out is being given my very own brand new book when my father took me to the movie, Pinocchio. Never before had I experienced giant moving images in bright beautiful colors projected on a screen. The story of the elderly man who so earnestly wanted a little boy touched the heart of this 4 1/2 year old, & when his finely crafted puppet came to life the events that followed were spellbinding. At that time we were living in the Bronx & out on the street after the movie was a peddler with a cart selling souvenirs depicting the movie. My father who was also a kid at heart asked me what would I like? I immediately said a book for there in the man's cart among the hats & other memorabilia were a stack of Little Golden Books with a big picture of Pinocchio the star of the day on the cover! 

     Since that time the impulse to return home with a book remains, be it at an authors presentation, or other places that have the promise of a fine story. I especially enjoy finding that special volume when we are visiting a museum & the exhibit is just so wonderful that having the images on a page at home is far too tempting to resist. As my life has evolved chapter upon chapter remembering the various characters from books I've especially enjoyed & things I have learned, the wisdom that the various authors have shared are of course priceless & the reason books have become my enduring friends.

Life's Varied Puzzles


Life's Varied Puzzles



Technology's a wonderful thing, when it works that is. Sometimes it's all garbled with criss crossed wiring much like a mind on overload. Due to the on & off reliability of my technology at hand I've put off getting a few interesting Peace Garden episodes out there. Nonetheless there's no time like the present & now that my tech tools are more finely fine tuned I plan on returning with a post or two before the relaunching of this blog for
New Beginning's at Mother Lightning's Peace Garden~xo~!
