 A Quiet Sunday Morning…
 
 A quiet Sunday morning to wake up to
 Sitting, gazing out, with a spot of tea,
 Contemplating my tomorrows
 Wondering, what will the future be.
 
 A quiet Sunday morning, a open mind
 Thinking about the path, its mysteries many fold,
 Each to explore and treasure
 Soon a treasured memory to behold.
 
 A quiet Sunday morning, a open heart
 Another day to learn and explore about me.
 It is my life.. only get one chance
 Will have to do it my way.. don’t you see.
 
 A quiet Sunday morning, being different
 Reminding me of words from a song,
 Where do I fit in, one asks
 One wonders, where do I belong.
 
 A quiet Sunday morning, on the path
 At the end of it, on the horizon, a lovely rainbow,
 It is there my answers lie... the truth is known
 Until then, only Fate will know.
 
 A quiet Sunday morning, spirit and mind at the ready
 To seek the rainbow... perhaps around the next bend,
 Once found, I’ll have my answers, you see
 And that will be the beginning, not the end.
        ( Larry “Dutch” Woller )
  
   

Hello Diary,

As the new year commences and contemplating the future, have dwelled on a number of things, love, sharing, etc. and today will share a few thoughts about happiness.. as Agnes Repplier said; “It is not easy to find happiness within ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.”  (Agnes Repplier)….  🙂

 

 

And the best way to find happiness is being me… 🙂

 

 Happiness is to have loved
 Than have not loved at all,
 To share love with another
 To always heed one's heart call.
  
 Happiness is to follow one's dream
 To be who one wishes to be,
 To live one's own life one's own way
 Not live the life of another, you see.
  
 Happiness is always waking up on
 The green side of the grass,
 Even though the day may be stormy
 Knowing it too shall pass.
  
 Happiness is knowing another
 A understanding, caring friend,
 Someone to share life's memories with
 A friendship to never end.
  
 Happiness is to pen thoughts
 Let the fingers do the walking,
 Thoughtful words that come  from within
 Because the heart does the talking.
  
 Happiness is freedom of thought and being
 I am what I am, don’t you see,
 Neither this one, neither that one, but all the above
 In a mortal world, a free spirit, that’s me.
  
 Happiness is knowing when to end a poem
 For it is down life’s highway I need to venture,
 To gather more memories and thoughts to share
 As I live, and enjoy,  today's new adventure.
                    (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
   

And there are plenty of sunshine here because .. 🙂

In spite of life’s challenges, here on the path it is a wonderful world indeed…. 🙂

Soooooooo, will close for now and venture on down the path to seek out new adventures being led by my heart… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂

 

 

And one of the best ways to find happiness is follow Roy Bennett’s advice; “Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” (Roy T. Bennett ) and ABBA’s advice… 🙂

“Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.” (Felix Adler) on the path least traveled…

Yes, “It is not easy to find happiness within ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.” (Agnes Repplier ) and in times of change, one may have to travel a road different from others, as I have… 🙂

 

 

 

 The Road Not Taken...
 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
 And sorry I could not travel both
 And be one traveler, long I stood
 And looked down one as far as I could
 To where it bent in the undergrowth;
  
 Then took the other, as just as fair,
 And having perhaps the better claim,
 Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
 Though as for that the passing there
 Had worn them really about the same,
  
 And both that morning equally lay
 In leaves no step had trodden black.
 Oh, I kept the first for another day!
 Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
 I doubted if I should ever come back.
  
 I shall be telling this with a sigh
 Somewhere ages and ages hence:
 Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
 I took the one less traveled by,
 And that has made all the difference.
    (Author Robert Frost)
  
   

While I am looking for that rainbow that holds answers that I seek… 🙂

Hello Diary,

While venturing down the path I am sometimes ask about my thoughts on love.. Well, I don’t believe that one can use a label or definition about love and believe that only the heart knows the answer… 🙂

 

 

“The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.”. (Jiddu Krishnamurti)… 🙂

To Love YOU… 🙂 To Love you is to daydream of you often, think of you so much, to speak of you proudly, and miss you terribly when we are apart.

To Love you is to cherish the warmth of your arms, the sweetness of your kiss, the friendliness of your smile, the loving sound in your voice, and the happiness we share……

To Love you is to never forget the adversity we have overcome, the tears we have shed, the plans we have made, the problems we have solved, and the pain of separation.

To Love you is to remember joyfully the days we made memorable, the moments that will live forever in our hearts,

The dreams we hope for, the caress and touches of love, and the exhilaration of love that fills our hearts.

To Love you is to need you, want you, hold you, and know you as no one else can.

To Love you is to realize that life without you would be no life at all…….. (Author Unknown)

To love you means your unforgettable… 🙂

And with that said, I shall close and continue on down the path to see what adventures await me… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂

 

 

 

 Until we meet again… 🙂
  
 Roses are red
 Violets are blue,
 Thoughts from the heart
 I’m sending to you.
  
 Not just another  day, dear friend
 For in spite of time, distance or whatever,
 If only in spirit and thought
 We’ll be sharing today together.
  
 So, have a wonderful day, dear friend
 Wishing you all the best, nothing less,
 May today, every day, AND your heart
 Be filled…...with love and happiness.
     (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
  
   

And remember, love and hope go hand in hand… 🙂

“You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last chapter.” (Author Unknown ) on the path least traveled…..

Diary of the journey on the path least traveled..just letting the heart do the talking while the fingers do the walking while being different, being me… 🙂

( “I do not do, say or write something to been seen or heard… I  do, say or write something because it needed to be done, said or written…” ,  no nominations please, just sharing thoughts while exploring life  🙂 ).. 🙂

While watching many promoting unity and getting along together over the past few days, I remember back in time when I participated in forums, when they were popular and civilized… :)one of the sensitive topics were; religion… in a effort to participate, I had to do some research, sometimes walk in someone else’s shoes… 🙂

 

So here on the path, there is religion present… 🙂

And there is ole not-into-religion, born again heathen me (as the Chaplain told my late wife before her passing “It is what is in the heart that matters, not a name above a door)… 🙂

And, while we may agree to disagree, here on the path we manage to get along together just fine… 🙂

Hello Diary,

Yes, not only is it a start to a new year, but it is time to close the book on the last chapter and start a new chapter, a new adventures… to learn more about the universe and me… and perhaps share some of the knowledge with others, all the while respecting who they are and wish to be… 🙂

 

So I stopped the world, got off briefly and took time to contemplate my tomorrows… 🙂

 

 And thankful that I will be venturing down the path of life with a open mind
 and heart and spirit born free… 🙂
  
 Just Color Me A Free Spirit….
  
 I’m just a free spirit
 Open mind and heart is  all I’ll ever be,
 Don’t need much money
 Being rich is not for me.
  
 I have a pocket full of dreams
 My fate, has yet to be told,
 As I sail from safe harbor
 While watching my destiny unfold.
  
 I am not in a “box”
 No social chains, you’ll see,
 As down the path least traveled
 Adventure waits for  me.
  
 Not interested in a “image”
 Reality is my forte,
 I am who I am, leaving no stone unturned
 Exploring life each and every day.
  
 Waking up to a world born free
 With creatures in their daily rush,
 Pursuing their own destinies
 Before sunset brings, the evening hush.
  
 The morning air smells clean and fresh
 As I awake, it always brings a smile,
 Can hear the sound of a distant train
 That will travel many a mile.
  
 Yes...just color me a free spirit
 For most social graces I do not fit it seems,
 No matter, as I  choose happiness over ideology 
 Guided by my heart, as I follow my dreams.
                        (Larry “Dutch” Woller, )
  
   

“I am free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.” (Theodore Roosevelt)… 🙂

So, will close for now, chart a course and follow the dream, hopefully greeting friends along the way…. but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂

Until we meet again… 🙂

 

 My Wish For You, My Friend..  🙂
  
 A life full of sweet dreams
 And a mind that is at peace,
 Surrounded by love and happiness
 That sooths the spirit, to say the least.
  
 Because your are my friend
 This is my wish for you,
 And fingers are crossed
 In hopes my wish comes true.
      (Larry  “Dutch”  Woller )
  
   

“Life gives us brief moments with another, but sometimes in those brief moments we get memories that last a lifetime, So live that your memories will be part of your happiness.” (Author Unknown)…. 🙂

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.” (Martin Luther King, Jr.) on the path least traveled…

 “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” (John F. Kennedy)…. 🙂
  
 Winds of Change…
  
 I watched that heavy door begin to close,
 all the while the winds above me rose.
 The years whisper and whistle back into my ear,
 the memories haunted by sorrows and fear.
  
 With a new day it finally dawned on me,
 the past needed locking and I had the key.
 Leave it behind, leap and fly away free,
 let the winds of change blow and carry me.
  
 Feel them lifting my wings now able to soar,
 up to an open sky and caged no more.
 Flying so fast to where no hurt can find,
 a place of peace now inhabits my mind.
  
 This heart full of courage never ceases to beat,
 knowing my history is not destined to repeat.
 Clear paths now lead me to a new destination,
 for my life, my future and the next generation.
                                   (Kelly Deschler )
   

Yes, change is taking place here on the path and even though “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ( Maria Robinson ), but only if you want to… 🙂 Hello Diary, Tomorrow is Monday and is a holiday celebrating Matin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, and his dream, a dream that lives today here on the path…. 🙂

Taking a brief break from following dreams, thought I would share a few thoughts… have been busy preparing for new adventures once leaving safe harbor, as Jimmy Buffet said “I don’t look back too often, there is too much in front of me I wish to see”… 🙂

 

 

My last visit I mentioned hopefully helping others follow their dreams.. that also goes for my backyard friends who are with me while dealing with life’s challenges… there is always the squirrels… 🙂

And, I cannot forget my feathered friends… 🙂

And, after taking care of my friends, after having luck baking bread, thought I would try my hand at making a sconce… so, I gathered up some Bisquick cheese and garlic batter and topped off with some bacon bits… 🙂

Popped them into the toaster/convection oven and Voila!.. 🙂

Now, I know that they are not going to win any baking prizes, but they sure taste good with a bowl of soup… 🙂

On a cold winter day…. 🙂

 

 Yes, changes have been made, mind and heart at the ready, for… 🙂
  
 It is down the path least traveled I shall go
 To a rainbow filled horizon I  venture,
 To seek, to learn, know peace, to enjoy life
 A path filled with wonderful adventure.
  
 A place where one is accepted as who they are
 A spirit kindled to life, when mortal born,
 A being coming from the depths within
 And not subject to ridicule and scorn.
  
 A place where I know freedom of thought and being
 I am what I am, don’t you see,
 Neither this one, neither that one, but all the above
 In a mortal world, a free spirit, that’s me.
  
 I do not travel the path alone, you see
 There are memories and spirits to behold,
 Those that share... the joy and sadness
 As I gather more memories, down that least traveled road.
  
 So how long will my journey be, one would ask
 Will I see the end of the path...ever?
 The answer, I believe, lies on the horizon
 Somewhere past... the 12th of Never….
  
 So I shall bring my ramblings to an end
 For there is one fact that I do know,
 To reach the horizon, the 12th of Never
 It’s down the path least traveled I must go!
       ( Larry “Dutch” Woller )
  
   

And with new adventures awaiting on the horizon, the sails are at the ready, the compass set, fingers poised at the keyboard and it is down the path I venture… 🙂

And with that, I believe I shall close for now…. going to follow Enya’s advice, but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂

 

 

With all the conflicts and anger in world’s societies at the moment, think I may get off the path briefly and join my friends on the peace train for a time, what do you say, Diary, all aboard?… 🙂 And perhaps we can share some love with others along the way… 🙂

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” (Stephen Grellet ) on the path least traveled….

 In history’s past, on the path, I had a dream
 Of a world in harmony it did seem,
 Accepting one as to who they believe and are
 One’s life’s choices no one did bar.
  
 Free to climb a mountain, to touch a star
 Free to search the universe, where answers are,
 Free to venture through life, with open mind
 Another’s belief, it did not blind.
  
 Free to boldly walk the lands, both far and near
 To lives one’s life without suffering or fear,
 Not to be accepted by belief, gender or race, you see
 But by the love, understanding and knowledge of a spirit born free.
  
 Children could follow their own dream, you see
 Not to be denied by another’s ideology,
 To follow the destiny of their own choice
 Not to be hindered by another’s voice.
  
 I still have that dream, you know
 A dream that began a long time ago,
 A dream without end, each and every day
 Until the four winds, they all blow away.
                   (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
  
   

And somewhere on the other side of that ole rainbow is that dream… 🙂

Hello Diary,

Taking a break from following the dream to share a few thoughts… while on the path of life seeking my destiny, I have not forgotten others, so, though it may not be much,  hopefully I can help someone follow their dream… 🙂

 Journey of Self Discovery...
  
 What I am
 Who I want to be
 Am I just a stranger in this dinosaur world,
 or my is existence limited to rest ,eat and pee.
  
 Every day is a new day ,
 I try to discover myself,
 The identity crisis lulls over me,
 In calm, yet monstrous glee,
 Failing to find what exactly constitutes my being.
  
 One day I want to be a doctor,
 Other day an engineer,
 Or even a scientist,
 The society decides my ambition,
 What career to pursue is guided by secure future norms,
 They say I have a lunatics mind,
 Persuade my mother to put some sense into me.
  
 Enough is said,
 I my setting on a journey of my own,
 The mistakes I make shall be mine,
 The regrets shall be my defined,
 Its fall or rise,
 Time will play a key role,
  
 As Frost said,
 I have an option of two paths ahead of me,
 One pre decided by my ancestors,
 less risky and challenging,
 Other of my own,
 I decide to take the less traveled one,
 To mark on journey of my own.
                           (Illahi Bedi)

Hello Diary,

Taking time  from daily adventures to share a few thoughts that rhyme.. it is a new year and “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”( Maria Robinson ) so, with open mind and heart, it is on down the path of life I go, making new memories along the way while dealing with life’s  challenges being me, being different… 🙂

 

 

 

 I awoke one morning, alone, in history’s past..
 Left with a heart full of memories, a decision to make,
 Confronted with two paths to my destiny..
 Heart and mind to decide which one to take.
  
 Take the one most traveled, the logical safe choice…
 The one chosen by the multitudes..the human race,
 Like sheep, following a path determined by another…
 No self identity, all bearing the same face.
  
 A most traveled path whose direction is chosen by a few
 The rest to follow, ever so blind,
 Their destiny not chosen by their own hand
 Their fate determined, by a closed mind.
  
 The other path less traveled, mysterious and unknown
 Where one can be different, like me I confess,
 Without fear of ridicule, bigotry  and hate
 A path filled with love... and happiness.
  
 A path less traveled where one can follow ones dreams
 An open mind to see what others do not,
 To live a life guided by one’s heart
 While the other path one cannot.
  
 My mind is clear and open, gathering knowledge every day
 My spirit is young, adventuresome and floating free,
 Not confined by social chains, nor ideology closed minded
 I am what I am, I am me, what I wish to be,
  
 Decision made, with eyes on the horizon
 It’s down the path least traveled I do venture,
 Excitement fills the air, a smile on the face
 Looking forward to a great adventure.
  
 My fate will be unknown, what lies ahead unsure
 I do not know…. what my destiny will be,
 But one thing will be certain, written in stone
 I shall venture down that path …..being “ME“.
           (penned by Larry “Dutch” Woller)
  
  
   

Even though the ole mortal clock may be ticking down, it will be known that I will be living life this new year like I have the past years, doing it my way…. 🙂 Going to close for now, there is a life to live and it is calling me… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂

 

 Until we meet again.. 🙂
  
 May your spirit only know peace
 May your heart only know love
 May all your dreams come true
 May your life’s journey be filled with happiness
 And life is all that you wish for it to be….
                        (Larry “Dutch” Woller)

Life Is Now….
  
 Time flies, and memories fade.
 People change and new friendships are made.
 Only the true remain forever at our side.
 Eventually the disappointment and pain will subside.
  
 It is all about the journey and what has yet to come.
 Life is what you make of it; you are what you've become.
 Life is too short to hold onto regrets.
 Forgiveness is key even though you may never forget.
  
 Cherish the good and remove the bad.
 Some people don't realize till it's gone what they've had.
 Moving on is a way of life.
 There will always be obstacles, pain, and strife.
  
 You must believe that you are strong enough to fight.
 You have to believe in yourself to do what is right.
 Always do for YOU no matter what you do,
 Because in the end the only one who has your back is you.
  
 Never be afraid to take a stand,
 And always be willing to lend a helping hand.
 A little bit goes a long way.
 All it takes is a smile to brighten someone's day.
  
 Your chance to live is now, so what are you waiting for?
 The world is yours for the taking and so much more.
 Endless possibilities are forever at your disposal.
 The chance to live another day is life's golden proposal.
  
 Never let anyone tear you down,
 And never let anyone steal your shine and make you frown.
 So will you sit in the shadows and let darkness win again?
 Or will you rise up and make the light your friend?
                                                        (Hollianne Boucher)
  
   

Hello Diary,

The New Year has arrived and  I am baaaaaaaaaack (is that groaning I hear?.. 🙂 ), for now anyway…:)  when it came to the weather, the new year did not start very well… 🙂

 

 

On New Years Day Ole Man Winter gave us some ice… 🙂

And on this Sunday Morning, Ole Man Winter gave us some snow.. 🙂

But no “white flag” here, because it is a new year and in spite of life’s challenges, a opportunity to follow one’s dreams for “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” (Maria Robinson )… 🙂

Of course, the holidays bring back memories and one memory came to my mind was during the time I grew up on the farm in the 1940’s, ‘50’s and early ‘60’s… Mom would always make homemade bread and being the oldest, I was volunteered to help.. well, I decided I was going to have homemade bread this Christmas… 🙂

 

 

So I gathered the ingredients… 🙂

Made the dough and let set for the oven… 🙂

Put it in the oven, in this case the convection/toaster oven… 🙂

And when done, Voila!… ready for butter!… 🙂

While I were waiting for the bread to finish, I prepared for the coming year… for in spite of any storms may occur, life will go on because “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. (Author Unknown), so got the ole treadmill at the ready.. 🙂

Also got the schoolroom (learning Spanish)/meditation area set up…why learn Spanish?.. well, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” (Mahatma Gandhi)… 🙂

With the new near I am preparing for new adventures, so with sails set full, safe harbor fading in the distance, becoming a faint glow, it is on down the path least traveled I shall venture, with open mind and heart, because I am..

 

 Will close for now, much to do to prepare for the new year, but I shall
 return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂
  
 And I finish this with a smile on my face
 For I know one day we’ll meet again,
 And again, together we will follow our dreams
 For it will be a new beginning, not the end.
             (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
   

So whatever path or trail you choose…. 🙂
