A Life Recipe

One part peace for all who exist;

Equal portions of love for one another;

One part understanding each who are individual;

One part care for those in need;

One part acceptance for each individual;

Two parts wisdom for those who exist;

Two parts give and take, mix in three portions

Of sharing life together for those who fall in love with one another;

Two parts open mind, add four portions tolerance

For life comes in individual packages;

Two parts genuine charity for those in need;

Two portions open mind for each individual human being;

Three parts harmony. Travel through nature with respect, love, and acceptance;

Three parts music, add needed portions for a restless heart;

Three parts memory, clarity, insight, and fondness for what came before;

Three parts desire, add needed courage for what will come next and in the future;

Three portions strength, add judgment as needed in individual endeavors;

Four parts caring for each new friend gathered;

Four parts love for each family member;

Four parts sharing time with one another;

Four parts daring for each challenge encountered;

Four portions rest to keep one from growing too

weary on each individual path in life;

Five parts time to consider the wildflowers in spring,

The warmth of summer’s own time,

The beauty of nature as fall comes in,

The silence of winter’s snowy-white blanket;

Add in one portion remembering to treasure

each set of seasons one is given in life;

Six parts time as follows; time is the most precious

Of gifts given to man, use well and wisely;

Six parts wisdom to guide one’s usage of time;

Six parts enjoyment to fill one’s time with one another;

Six parts fellowship to spend one’s time on;

Six parts of challenge in one’s own time;

Six portions of remembering to also treasure the time

Each individual life is given.

Now and Then

Memories seem to circle around wishing wells;

Hopes and dreams stop at a safe distance;

Cares and woes come differently;

To wishing wells,

What do I and whimsy

Wish for today?

We’ve stopped at this old wishing well

So many times before;

Whimsy and curiosity,

Joy and enlightenment

Have all come;

Now and then,

Memory looks at old pictures,

Tries to fill in lost details;

The house and garden

Boarded up in one’s mind’s eye;

It’s a house of love and happiness though;

Whimsy has caught itself up in

It’s desire to chase those invisible

Butterflies once again;

Long walks and silent talks,

Remember every step of one’s journey

Through life;

Adventure still bold;

Goals

Still elusive and timely;

Now and then,

Harmony and truth

Always there when needed;

True friendship

Never too far away;

Back around the wishing well,

Has innocence remembered

How to play?

And love,

Love tends the heart; love protects the start;

Love sits atop every wishing well; love can never run out;

Time can never stop:

Now on the way home,

Now where did whimsy
