“It’s mot how much we give, but how much love we put into giving” (Mother Teresa) 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… 🙂
It is a time when one ventures down memory lane, to visit memories of long ago and of loved ones that will be missed this holiday, but they will be with us always, living in a special place in our hearts… “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)… 🙂
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
Filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you,
And each time you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me
I’m right there in your heart.
(Alena Hakala Meadows)
And with them in our hearts, they will always be home for the holidays… 🙂
Hello Dairy…
Although the spirit of giving is every day on the path, the holidays are on the horizon.. A time of giving with love.. and hopefully not only for a time of cheer and giving, but also a time of peace, hope, love, understanding and friendship for everyone, that is my dream for the holidays (and every day)… 🙂
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 lifes 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)
The universe knows that I am not into religion (as my late wife’s Chaplain said “ it is what is in the heart that matters, not a name above a door) but I agree with Vince and Jenny Gill…
Well, I had better close… need to prepare for the holidays also, all the while awaiting what adventures lies ahead.. but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise..
Whether you observe the holiday or not, hope the spirit of giving, joy, love and happiness is part of your life and until we meet again…
In the spirit of giving
With love and understanding too
Thoughts from the heart
I’m sending to you.
It is not just another day
For in spite of time, distance or whatever,
If only in spirit and thought
We’ll be sharing this day together.
So, have a wonderful day
Wishing you all the best, nothing less,
May today, every day, AND your heart
Be filled…...with love and happiness.
(Larry “Dutch” Woller)

Another post with so many good messages, especially “it is what is in the heart that matters, not a name above a door”. And Christmas is not that far away, either. That’s certainly the festival when most people are at their best, and kindness and love rule supreme, if only within the family (fingers crossed!)
Thank you for visiting and kind words!!.. hopefully kindness and love will rule not only with family but world over… 🙂
Hope you path is paved with love and kindness and until we meet again..
May the dreams you hold dearest
Be those which come true
May the kindness you spread
Keep returning to you

Mother Teresa certainly left us with an abundance of wisdom. I wholeheartedly agree that those who have passed will be with us always, living in a special place in our hearts… Thank you for this beautiful post including some of my favorite songs and voices. Peace and blessings to you always, Larry.
