I was watering flowers on a hot summer’s day. A toddler with fat hands took the hose from me. Her black hair glistened in the sun. She crouched low to the ground, murmuring to the flowers she spilt water on. She looked up and tugged at my hand, she was amazed at the ants crawling through the peonies. A tickle removed her attention from the flowers, ants crawled across her brown feet. She squatted for a closer look. There was water all over the sidewalk, running in tiny rivers down to the road. Together we stomped through the water, tracking perfect impressions of our feet. Holding the hose, she reached with her free hand to grasp the running water. It moved easily out of her hand. She tried again, delighted with the waters ability to evade her. Determined to hold the water she clasped her hand across the opening of the hose. Like a glittering firework the water fragmented from under the grip of her hand. Water sprayed in her face and mine. She looked through dripping eyelashes to see rainbows hanging in the rainstorm she had created. She shrieked with delight.

My 9/11 Socks
I'm one of those men who have a hundred pairs of socks in the sock drawer, some new, some old, most in various states of disrepair. Most men don't spend more than two seconds thinking about holes in their socks as they put them on… they call them their "Sunday Socks" and they move on because no one’s going to see them through their shoes. When I open my sock drawer, I wonder if the pair I take out is one of my 9/11 socks, and if it is possible that I still have any more of them.

Sunshine JanePublished 2 years ago in HumansBeing a Dreamer Focused on Light Is Fabulous, yet Needs To Be Backed by Education and Critical Thinking
I am truly convinced in essence human being is good. And that is, in my opinion where the life purpose of humanity starts. To (re) discover humans' truth and come to its essence. Dis-covering the vail, the ‘Maya’ of the perception of the illusion. Being aware of what we truly are, consciousness only. There where we all are… the absolute reality, the one source of energy, universal intelligence. There where only love, joy, and compassion ‘exist. — Patrick Van Olphen
