“Here on the path I venture down life’s highway, not with the fears and prejudice of a closed mind, but with the dreams of a open mind, a heart filled with memories and love, and a free spirit filled with hopes for a better tomorrow for everyone” (Larry “Dutch” Woller)…..

Hello Diary,

Still dealing with change here as change, in many forms, are ongoing, and by using today’s technology hopefully as I pass through this world  I  can help make this world a better place, “Every morning your have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams, or wake up and chase them.” (Author Unknown) and even though I may stumble at times, “Victory is not always winning the battle, but rising every time you fall” (Napoleon Bonaparte), there is never any doubt as  I wake up every morning with a open mind and a heart full of hope to  follow my dream…  🙂

 

And as I do every day, for the moment I have stopped the world briefly,  found a quiet corner on the path, meditated a bit and, with a cup of tea, now contemplating my tomorrows and sharing my thoughts…  🙂

A peaceful morning here on the path
Thoughts abound, while sipping on a spot of tea,
While taking in Nature’s outdoor portrait
Contemplating, on what Fate may have instore for me.

Change is slowly coming, it whispers in the winds
The door is slowly closing on past history,
With a  new awakening with the mind and spirit
But the future is still shrouded in mystery.

With the freedom of being different, in many ways
No social shackles do this mortal wear,
Do welcome change with open mind and spirit
No fear, no worry or dread do I bear.

Does change stop at mortal death, one wonders
Or does it go on forever and ever,
Will I ask the same at another time and place
Somewhere past the 12th of Never?

Will thought and spirit continue
When, as in all things, my mortal time comes to an end,
Or does all things cease to be, when
To the grave, the mortal body Fate does send.

Alas, but must deal with the present
So now will store thoughts and musings yet to be told,
For it’s down the path least traveled I do venture
To search and hopefully find….what life, and Fate, may behold.

Yes, it is a quiet morning, spirit, body and mind at the ready
To seek that rainbow... perhaps around the next bend,
Once found, I’ll have my answers, destiny known
And that will be the beginning, not the end.
            ( Larry “Dutch” Woller )

And life has many challenges in today’s turbulent world and can cause doubt but “We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving. And we all have some power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.” (Louisa May Alcott ) so all one has to do is follow one’s heart and believe… 🙂

Well, I had better close for now, venture on down the path, perhaps help someone follow their dream along the way...but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…  🙂

Hope your path of life is paved with peace, joy and love  and 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)

Hello Diary,

While fine tuning and adjusting to change, I took the time to browse the world, to gather knowledge of what were transpiring… to my dismay I find elements of today’s world societies filled with closed minded prejudice to those who seem different and simply trying to follow their dream, and rather than working together with wisdom and understanding, choose violence and conflict to settle differences and disputes…accomplishing little other than sowing the seeds of suffering, anger, fear…

May not make headlines or the news but by using today’s technology, there is much we can do and what we do may seem small at first glance, but “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” ( Mother Teresa) …  and there may be times when we feel like we are doing it alone, but together we can make a difference and make 2023 a better year and the world a better world for everyone.. “We may not have it all together but together we have it all” (Author Unknown)…  🙂

 

And hopefully in time everyone can have a garden like mine.. )

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.

Where one is free to boldly walk the lands, both far and near
To live 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.

Where 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.

Together we live the hand that Fate has dealt us
Not sure of, 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 and know love, understanding, to follow one’s dreams
Unlike the other  world unraveled.
                       (Larry “Dutch” Woller  )

I agree with you, Ray Stevens… 🙂 And here on the path my choice of weapons are the pen/keyboard.. 🙂

And my heart.. 🙂

Well, I had better close for now, the path is calling, some storms (weather) on the horizon later today  “I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.” (Louisa May Alcott), but I shall return one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…  🙂

Hope you are able to follow your dreams, life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again..

May your troubles be less
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door
May the sun shine all day long
Everything go right, nothing go wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true
                       (Irish Saying)

The peace train is getting ready to leave the station, all aboard for those getting aboard!.. 🙂

Hello Diary,

Took some time and while waiting I worked outdoors to help my backyard friends prepare for the new year, but finally received new technology, out with the old in with the new, (modem, wiring) so now in the process of adjusting and fine tuning, also dealing with changes on the internet… but finally able to venture on the internet and share thoughts, ideas, memories with others to some degree… it will take a bit of time to catch up with everyone, but catch up I will… 🙂

 

 

And thankfully will allow me to share ideas and work with others to hopefully make this a better world for everyone… folks like Earthday and dealing with the environment and the land… 🙂

Last week received my t-shirt from the eathday folks in the United Kingdom… 🙂

Yes, we have a dream of a better world..  🙂

Change is rapidly approaching
As I contemplate the tomorrow,
Leaving some memories filled with happiness
A few memories filled with sorrow.

I peer out my window
Parts of the world, cold  and bleak,
A world of conflict, anger and hate
Mortals are suffering as I speak.

But we have a dream
My friends and I,
That one day there will be peace
No more mortals will die.

And there will be hope
Of a world filled with love one day,
A wish that could come true
For hope is the last to die…they say.

Not a world of race, color or gender
Nor closed minded ridicule or prejudice...you see,
But a world that respects another’s dream
Of what or who they wish to be.

So I peer out the window
Not with sadness or a tear, 
But a heart filled with hope and a dream
Of a world  of love and peace, not hate and fear.
                         (Larry “Dutch” Woller) 

And we share those dreams, work together and face the future together because that is what friends do.. 🙂

And by the world using today’s technology together to make this a better world for all, no doubt it is the age of Aquarius (Aquarius; humanitarian, philanthropic, and keenly interested in making the world a better place ).. 😉 And don’t let the negativity, hatred, prejudice and fear darken you mind and dreams, just follow your heart and let your love shine and you won’t go wrong.. 🙂

Well, I had better close..much to do and as I said I’ll catch up with what everyone as they follow their dreams soon hopefully, so it is bye for now but I shall return again one day, Fate (and technology) be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise..  🙂

Whatever path/trail your heart takes, hope it is paved with love, happiness and peace and until we meet again…. 🙂

May your day be touched 
by a bit of Irish luck,
Brightened by a song 
in your heart,
And warmed by the smiles
of people you love.
May your troubles be less
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door
        (Irish Saying)

Hello Diary,

Having technical difficulties here, internet has become unreliable and difficult to access… waiting for a technician from the internet provider to check out the system, not sure how long it may take to resolve the issue… will be online when I can but will be iffy for the next few days at least..  🙂

Will not prevent me from following my dream … 🙂

And will have our memories to get me through the storm “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).. 🙂

So I will close for now and post while the internet allows me, not sure when I will return but return I will,  Fate (and the internet and the weather) be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂

Hope your path is paved with love, peace and joy, life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again…

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
May green be the grass you walk on
May blue be the skies above you
May pure be the joys that surround you
May true be the hearts that love you.
    (Irish Saying)

Hello Diary,

Have a  lull  in the storm, thought I would pop in briefly and share a few thoughts… haven’t been online much lately because of websites and internet changing things and adjusting here…also the weather, especially yesterday, as had near hurricane winds throughout the day and tornadoes in the area.. but “I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.” (Louisa May Alcott)..  🙂

 

Thus far manage to get through relatively unscathed and I don’t feel sorry for myself (there are those worse off than me) and don’t lose hope because at the end of the storm there is always the rainbow… 🙂 And I will get through the storms because I have a dream “There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.” – (Douglas H. Everett)… 🙂 And I took the time to contemplate all that I were able to do in spite of the storms of life.. 🙂

A time to contemplate the past
A time to give thanks...they say,
To relive treasured memories
Of each and every  passing day.

Thanks for letting me feel love
Be it joy, or be it heartache,
To know someone’s love
A treasured feeling their love did make.

Thanks for letting me live life
To explore, to follow one’s dream,
To seek out and live every adventure
Not enough time in the day... it did seem.

Thanks for letting me meet friends
To share thoughts of love, hope..perhaps a tear,
And by going down the path together in friendship
Doing away with hate, anger….and fear.

Thanks for giving me the courage
To follow my own path...to be me,
To not follow someone else’s path
To live my own….. reality.

Thanks for giving me an open mind
As I venture down the path... allowing me,
To gaze upon life’s treasures, large and small
That many others do not see.

Thanks for giving me an open heart
Able to love, understand and forgive,
And when I grow too old to dream
A place where my memories will live.

Yes, I have much to be thankful for
And every day the list gets longer... you see,
As I venture down the path least traveled
Searching for what destiny... has waiting for me.
                    (Larry “Dutch” Woller )

Well, had better close for now, the lull is coming to an end, dark clouds on the horizon and as they use to say in all the sea ports “the glass is falling” (the barometric pressure is dropping), but I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…  🙂

Hope your path has blue skies, gentle breezes and paved with peace, love and joy 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)
