Annabel Lee a poem by Edgar Allan Poe

Mermaid by bodiver
Mermaid, a photo by bodiver on Flickr.

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

The words quoted by Rhoda E. McCullock are so true. I am rediscovering my purpose here on flickr and am following my own heart's desire. I love this photograph. It speaks volumes to my heart. <3

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds take extraordinary to a whole new level. They are the smallest warm-blooded creatures on the planet, but they are also among the fastest. With wings that beat up to 200 times every second, they are among nature’s most accomplished athletes, the only birds able to hover, fly backwards, and even upside down. Hummingbird metabolisms are set in permanent overdrive, requiring them to consume more than half their body weight in nectar every day, yet even so, they remain in constant threat of starving to death as they sleep. To survive the night, they fluff up their feathers and adjust their thermostats, decreasing their body temperatures by half and reducing their heart rate from 600 beats per minute to a mere 36.

Because hummingbirds live their lives in fast forward, much of their fascinating world is typically lost to human perception. But using cameras able to capture over 500 images a second, the hummingbirds’ magical world can finally be seen and appreciated. Amazing footage shows these little powerhouses are far more than delicate nectar gatherers — they are also deadly predators. And watch as the birds display their elaborate mating rituals, showing off with nose dives that subject them to over ten G’s of force — enough to cause an experienced fighter pilot to black out!

These tiny marvels dazzle and delight bird watchers all over the world, and NATURE reveals their stunning abilities as they have never been seen before.

Calling All Angels.....33 Miners Rescued in Chile

Calling ALL Angels.......


I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said


And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

I won't give up if you dont give up.....

I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

When children have to play inside so they don't disappear
And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for years
And futbol teams are kissing Queens
and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it's ours


And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

I won't give up if you dont give up.....

~Flying Dreams~The Tale of the Wind Horse"

~Flying Dreams~The Tale of the Wind Horse

A Choctaw Legend
At the time when day and night were still deciding who comes first, there lived a Horse that will never be seen again. The Horse was not one that would become as the dying buffalo, for this Horse had no enemies.

The reason that this Horse would not be seen again was because of love.

It is a story that begins this way.

The Horse, who was called Wind Horse, was the fastest and gentlest of all the Indian ponies. He felt no fear, there was not one that would harm him. If there was an Indian wounded or that needed a ride, Wind Horse was there to care and to carry the Indian. Because of the kindness of Wind Horse, there is no more.

One day, as Wind Horse was feeling the good feeling from being free, he heard a cry for help. He ran to the edge of the forest and saw an Indian child Boy caught in a trap meant for Bear. The boy's foot was cut off and the Boy could not move. Wind Horse went to the side of the Boy and as the Boy leaned against him, he bent to let the Boy get on his back.

The Boy, who had no name, could not believe that this beautiful Horse would come to him as a friend. All his life he had lived alone, for with his bad leg no one wanted him. As he rode the wind on the horse, he could feel the good feeling that Wind Horse felt. It was as if he were whole and that he was with family.

Wind Horse knew that the wound that the Boy had was one that could not be fixed or healed. He was taking the Boy to the place of the Indian Hunting Ground. This place was where all were made whole and had no fear or need. Wind Horse felt sadness that one as young as this Boy had to go to the Ground but he knew that it would be for the best.

As they traveled, the Boy noticed that the trail was always changing. First it was as it was when the Boy had been hurt, then it was as it was when he had been happy. Then it was the time when he had not been born. Soon he saw things that he did not recognize. The Boy became more close to Wind Horse, for he began to fear.

Wind Horse had seen the times and had seen the Boy and his life. He had felt the feelings of the Boy. Wind Horse knew that if he continued this ride, he would not be free any more. For the feelings that the Boy felt were now becoming the feelings of Wind Horse. For Wind Horse was the last of his race, the race of Horses that would feel the feelings of the rider.

Should the rider remain on the Horse of Wind, he would share the fate of the rider, for then a bond would be made that would not and could not be broken. Wind Horse knew of this bond, and as a result, always put off the rider before any bond was made. This time, Wind Horse knew this would be his last rider.

As they traveled, the Boy began to talk to Wind Horse and Wind Horse listened. He listened to the hopes of the Boy that someday he would run with the leaves that blew across the ground. He listened as the Boy wished for someone to care and love the Boy who had the bad leg. As Wind Horse listened, he began to feel the love for the Boy that the Boy had wanted to give a friend.

"Yes," Wind Horse thought, "This is my last ride for I have found one that needs the feelings that I can give. Since I am the last of my race, I will spend the rest of my time with the one that can and will give the feelings that I need."

Wind Horse turned his head and nuzzled the Boy's head. He began to slow, for the end of the journey was near. The Boy looked up and saw the home of those who had gone before. He realized that his journey was the last one he would ever make. He began to feel fear. But as the Horse stopped to let the Boy down, the Boy realized that he had two good legs and that all his wounds, hunger, need, and hurt were gone. The Horse made no move to leave and the Boy knew that the Horse had also made his last journey.

Wind Horse had never brought his riders to the Hunting Ground, so he was not familiar with the place. He had a new world to explore and he had a friend to explore it with. As Wind Horse and the Boy walked into their new world, the Indian People felt a great sadness. Even though the People could not know what was happening, the feeling of great loss and unhappiness was all around. Wind Horse could hear their cries of despair, but he knew that with the passing of many suns and moons, they would soon forget him and his race.

Wind Horse had made his last journey. He would miss all his travels and the friends that he had made and helped along the way. He prayed to the Great Spirit to send a reminder to the Indian People of the friendship that he and the Indian People had shared. And with Wind Horse's prayer, the Horse was given to the Indian People as friends.

I Rise......

I Rise



Good night my angel time to close you eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say

I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Where ever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away...

SYMBOL OF UNIVERSAL MOTHERHOOD -   A TRIBUTE.  அம்மா , அம்மா . அம்மா ,  சொல்லே   அழகுதான் .

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according
to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to
do the humble work.
~Mother Teresa

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness,
of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the
Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a
love letter to the world.
~Mother Teresa

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can
be no more hurt, only more love.
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to
that person, a beautiful thing.
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to
love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve
hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved
in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our
love for each other must start.
~Mother Teresa

Ceero Estatuas y cofres
Y paredes pintadas
Nadie sabe que es lo que paso
Ella salto por la ventana del quinto piso
Nada es fácil de entender.

Duerme ahora Uhuuuuu!

Es sólo el viento allá fuera

Quiero amparo
Voy a huir de casa
Puedo dormir aquí con ustedes?
Ando con miedo
Tuve pesadillas
Sólo voy a volver despues de las tres
Mi hijo va a tener
nombre de santo
Quiero el nombre más bonito.

Es preciso amaaar a las personas como si no hubiese mañana
Porque si vos paraaas para pensar
En la verdad no lo hay..

Me dice: porque que el cielo es azul?
Me explica la gran furia del mundo

Son mis hijos que se toman cuenta de mí
Yo vivo con mi mama pero mi papa viene a visitarme
Yo vivo en la calle no tengo a nadie
Yo vivo en cualquier lugar
Ya viví en tanta casa que ni me acuerdo más
Yo vivo con mis padres uhh uhhh

Es preciso amaaar a las personas como si no hubiese mañana
Porque si vos paras para pensar
En la verdad no lo hay
Soy una gota de agua,
un grano de arena
Vos decis que tus padres no te entienden
Pero vos no entiendes a tus padres
Vos culpa a tus padres de todo, y eso es absurdo
Son niños como vos
Son lo que vos vas a ser al crecer?

THIS BITTER EARTH

This Bitter Earth....

This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
mmmm that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
oooh that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you're young

Too soon, youre old
But while a voice within me cries
Im sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
Oh be so bitter after all

The Winding Road to Ka`u

The Winding Road to Ka`u

Next week Tuesday, my husband and I will be driving from Saddle Road to Ka`u which will consume an entire day from early sunrise to late sunset, to see a very special man who has a message for the both of us. The Book of Eli reminded me how precious a journey Eli needed to make against all obstacles to achieve his goal in reaching his destination in the end. Minus the language and violence in this movie, it has a significant message. The only other movie that moved me spiritually was, "The Green Mile." Faith isn't faith until it is all you are holding on to.....Believe.

Dancing in the moonlight under

Ropes round their necks, their tears sparkling
Shining down on this seemingly pointless world
There’s nothing going on down here
Except me and my brain sat in intellectual
Hysteria, won’t someone come and save me from myself
I’m waiting for that thing to happen, sitting and waiting
For someone to find my lost soul
Wake me up from my conscious coma
Come a’ searching from over the hill’s horizon
To find me, get me out of my trance and
Save me from myself: you look lost…

I just can see it now! How many of us love our friends on flickr and even at work we are sneaking in every minute during our breaks and lunches
a few minutes on flickr. This is where we leave our insane life and come to our sanctuary amongst our friends. Monday morning blues has an entire meaning when we are flickr addicts.

Youth has a beautiful face and old age a noble soul....

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of HIS mouth cometh wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

On the day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my mind was straying,
and I knew it not. My basket was empty and the flower remained unheeded.

Only now and again a sadness fell upon me, and I started up from my
dream and felt a sweet trace of a strange fragrance in the south wind.

That vague sweetness made my heart ache with longing and it seemed to me that is was the eager breath of the summer seeking for it`s completion.

I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this
perfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart.

Don't Want To Miss A Thing......

Don't Want To Miss A Thing......

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing.
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming.
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever.
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure....

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep.
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing.
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing.

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing.
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together.
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
forever and ever..........................xo

To My Wonderful Husband, Sam

I Love You
Sometimes I worry about you
You don't relax enough
You work so hard
There is so much for you to do

Sometimes I worry about you
You don't realize how much
you are appreciated
or how much you give of yourself to others
or what a wonderful husband you are to me
and what a perfect father
you are to our son

Other times I am thankful
for the way you are
as I realize it is the
only way you could be

But at all times I want you to know
that I respect you so greatly
and I thank you for
being the best man in the world
in every way
I love you

Tight Rope Artist....

I enjoy visiting my friend's photos and seeing some of their very best work. It is their photography and subject matter that evokes such deep emotion in me that I find blogging a place of solace. This little tight rope artist is carefully moving forward as he/she has such a long way to go. If our lives could be measured here on earth by the length of a tight rope, (in comparison to eternity), we would know that life is short and our deeds and actions toward humanity will strengthen our character and our conviction in Ke Akua; God.

Beauty Surrounds Me...

Yesterday I took a drive along the Hamakua Coast and came upon two beautiful horses. The ocean with the light shining on it and the sunlight at dusk across the meadow, took my breathe away. I cried for about 15 minutes as I stood there and felt God's presence. I will never forget these moments that day, nor will I ever forget how precious life is...
