Hello Diary,
I have been away for awhile as I have been dealing with change this past week, adjusting the sails, mainly with the internet as many websites deal with security and unwanted destructive posts… it is sad that with all the knowledge and technology the world possesses, instead of helping to build a better world, elements of today’s world societies use their knowledge and technology against another simply because another chose to follow their heart and take their own path and is different…
I see no reason why the world cannot live together in harmony while one has the freedom to follow their own dream without fear and prejudice… 🙂
I am a mere mortal in a very large and mysterious universe, therefore I do not have the knowledge to judge or dictate (nor do I wish to) another’s belief or path they choose… I believe there is a saying “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and I would like to think one would simply accept me as I am as I do others.. 🙂
And I do not let another’s reality or ideology determine the path I take, but choose to venture down the path my way (independent, not into faith based ideologeis, etc.), and following my heart with a open mind… 🙂
And by doing so, my path is paved with peace… 🙂 And it is paved with love… That being said, “Welcome”… 🙂

I live in a not so secret garden Along the path least traveled, Quite unlike the other world A world that appears unraveled. A garden of peace and harmony Being different does not matter here, All creatures, big and small, living together Unlike the other world, they do not live in fear. It is a place where one is accepted as who they are A spirit kindled to life, when mortal born, A free spirit coming from the depths within And not subject to ridicule and scorn. Together we live the hand that Fate has dealt us Not sure, or dwell, on our final destiny, But live to enjoy the moment, the hour, the day That is what life is about, don’t you see. So into the not so secret garden I will venture Along the path least traveled, To find love, understanding, to follow one’s dreams Unlike the other world unraveled. (Larry “Dutch” Woller )
I shall close for now, more changes to deal with and a heart filled with dreams and memories to follow… but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise.. 🙂 Hope whatever path you choose is paved with peace and love and until we meet again… May the love that you give Always return to you, That family and friends are many And always remain true, May your mind only know peace No suffering or strife, May your heart only know love and happiness On your journey through life. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
Wonderful words of encouragement. I think your garden sounds like a wonderful place.

Thank you for visiting and kind words!!…
Hope you garden is filled with joy and happiness and until we meet again…
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.

Thanks for stopping by!!.. had some in the past but I have not had any to date, but over time numerous sites have, including WordPress and because of that the internet is making changes in the area of security and I have been waiting for them to finish before making any changes so I can connect with them…. 🙂
Hope all is well in your part of the universe…
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

I’m afraid that a lot of people are individuals who, centuries ago would have been classified as evil. If they can hurt others, using the cloak of anonymity, they will. If they were braver, and of the right age, they would have volunteered for the Russian army years ago!
Don’t let then get to you, but rise above it. You are a better person than any of them!

Thank you for stopping by!.. I agree with you and I also believe that there are some who do so out of fear, in their minds they found a world they liked and believe in and suddenly, with the expansion of knowledge, technology and growing population, believe that world may be threatened by change… 🙂
Hope all is well in your part of the world and until we meet again…
May your troubles be less
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door

That’s a very interesting idea that there are people who have “found a world they liked and believe in and suddenly……” It could actually be applied to getting old as well !

Like you, my friend, I find it sad that people cannot simply “Live and let live”, that they must always be trying to fit us into a mold of their making. I’m sorry for what you’ve been going through, but I hope you’ll keep on blogging, for you bring light into darkness. Hugs!

Hope life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again..
May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your heart only know love and happiness

Perhaps you are right, my friend, but it just seems to be more intense and widespread these days, almost as if people want to return to the way things were in the 1950s. I find it … depressing.
Thank you for the beautiful, heartfelt poem, Dutch. I’m lucky that my family and friends ARE many.
