A seed is planted,
See how it grows.
From generation to generation,
It sows and sows.
Loving links in a chain,
the best we can be.
But will we be remembered
… our legacy?
Better yet, where we’re going
… too far to see?
For all we know,
‘what will be, will be’.
In a small pocket of our being,
a tiny flame burns brightly.
On loving faces we can see it,
the darkness overcoming slightly!

When you shift gears on a multi-speed bicycle to go up hill, you naturally shift to the smallest gear on the back wheel sprocket, right? Wrong. According to Ted, our certified bicycle mechanic, “it’s the smallest chain ring on the crank which drives the biggest gear on the back. The big gear helps you get…
The dictionary’s definition of “friendship” describes “… a relationship that can linger in the memory like an appealing chord of music.” It’s a remarkable thing about music: an invisible connection or universal relationship, we have with the artists and their work – bringing back memories special to our lives. Everyone’s memorable moments are different, but…
I tend to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. Yet, I don’t mind being call Jack… I’d feel odd being called master. (No worries there!) “Yeah, I’ll be king / when dogs get wings” …
