the letters in November

bowing to the rain

2012-02-18T22:20:00.000-08:00

I came home this weekend and the heavens once again surprised me with yellow tiny wings and a gigantic colorful arch...I couldn't ask for more...

Happy Valentine's Day

2012-02-13T02:53:00.000-08:00

It was such a delight to find two persons obviously in love by a bridge one lovely noon...

for at the end of each day, before the world gets dark...and silent and cold...someone close to the heart would always make everything worth living for...Happy Hearts' Day world!...

my pink roses at home

2012-02-09T23:44:00.000-08:00

I live in a house at the neck of the woods where internet access is close to nil but nature keeps me company twenty four hours a day. These pink roses are my latest favorite source of happiness at home.

found such gorgeous flowers at TODAY'S FLOWERS...

Drift....

2012-02-03T00:33:00.000-08:00

This is one of the sunset photos I took about a week ago walking with friends who share the same interest. What is so magical about that day was that we did not actually plan to be there..we had another place in mind to visit but the plan did not turn out right...so we walked and walked until our feet took us there where one of the greatest shows on earth unfolds each day...

as always time seemed to have stopped as did my breathing in awe of God's magnificent creation...and this thought stuck on my mind

"sometimes it pays to just walk on not knowing exactly where to because the most wonderful moments aren't those we wish but those which were written in His palms"

you ask her what she loves most about the sunset

she will not stop

the words will never be quite enough

to name the feelings that shall not cease

to mingle with the letters and the tears, the smiles and chants

for a love that was, but was found again

the tide brought back the waves of memories

from somewhere in the horizon of moons and springs

a melody of regrets and so much love that kept

the woman sleeping in her dreams where she finds

herself running back,

running back to a love that was...

wind blowing on her face

the eyes that has long missed

those other eyes

that store a thousand and one unspeakable thoughts and hums

to light the last hours of day

to keep the memory at bay....

floating love

2012-01-17T22:25:00.000-08:00

Petals are one of my favorite things. They are always colored so vividly that even if they have fallen off and are no longer one with their leaves and stem they remain so lovely. I found these ones on my way home on the wet ground after a rainy day floating almost like singing in silence of a love that lives on through the storm...

our home sweet home

2012-01-11T23:35:00.000-08:00

We live in a place that could only be reached on foot. The road to our home is yet to be constructed. Sometimes I wish there'd be no road at all because the beauty of it all is in the walking...

2012-01-09T05:45:00.000-08:00

I was busy working in the garden when this yellow winged friend which caught our dog's attention got me running for my camera and kneeling on the ground to capture one moment of extreme silence...that made me realize there really could be "Peace on Earth" if we simply respect each others' existence...for "Life is too beautiful to be wasted hating, keeping grudges and hurting".....

Life-threatening

2011-08-21T04:11:00.000-07:00

zen

Kulasa

Today I watched the sky change colors from the Labor and Delivery Room of the hospital where I work. The sky was so beautiful I was so tempted to run for my digital camera and take photos outside but it seemed inappropriate. My white coat, covered with another white gown, my stethoscope and the nurses around not to mention the newborn in front of me with its weak cry all reminded me I was not at the moment Kulasa the happy go lucky side of me but was me, Zen the healer...I did not however stop myself from staring up and out of the high window marvelling at heaven's face ornamented by fluffy white clouds scattered like cotton candy; the trees' leaves and branches swaying with the wind forming silhouettes of what appeared like men holding one another's arms in prayer. I perceived wings...there were birds dancing against the carroty atmosphere...and in my heart I sang "thank you Lord, thank you for the gift of life" to what tune...that i do not know, there are no tones composed by human beings that I think could give justice to the gratefulness I felt in my soul...for while I am at work, everything is "life-threatening" yet the Lord I know has always been my guide...and I draw strength from Him through His wonderful creation whenever I have the time...to play...

because...as has been often said...Life is worth celebrating especially so when one is always close to watching people dying...

I have not updated this site for the longest time. Needless to say i have been quite busy. It has been days since i had the itch to click ..i took the following shots months ago..i was reserving them to join one of those photo challenges but i think i will really have no time to really go into blogging frenzy not even part-time...so here i am scratching my itch to write at almost midnight at work while waiting for medications to work on my patients...sigh...life is never perfect, it is never all fun and laughter but as long as one knows how to smile and say "being simply alive is great" and has the heart to look at the beauty that nature has to offer life goes on merrily.......so here i go yelling...OH....LIFE IS GREAT!..."yell it ohhh"

mother's day 2011

freedom

the fish ponds of Pangasinan, Philippines...April 25, 2011 an hour before the sun went down...roadtrip with my only bro

Recently i asked a friend what animal he'd love to turn into and he said without hesitation he wants to become a bird...so he could fly...i too would love to have wings! if only to kiss the sky...to watch the world from above go by...may God bless all the birds in the world...symbols of freedom, of Love Divine...

fur, tails and smiles

2011-04-08T10:08:00.000-07:00

around a month ago there was this pet photo contest that i joined and lost

these are the shots i failed to print because my digi-cam was acting up
the pictures look as if there's a screen over them
i love 'em fur, tails and smiles...win or lost

for life after all is not a matter of competing but always giving our most angelic shot
and smiling no matter what

of catastrophe and hope

2011-04-04T15:18:00.000-07:00

a photo of a bud i saw at my sons' school four days ago

I just woke up from one of those unusual dreams. The world was ending in my sleep. Akin to that vision i had when i stayed out watching the supermoon, nature seemed restless and defied all known laws of physics and science for that matter. Aghast, I saw matter moving in no particular direction. From the sky balls and rays of bright light were falling fast towards the earth and the ground shook while thunder dominated the night. Today i pray with everyone for life to stay on our planet grounds

...and may we plant seeds of love, forgiveness and kindness for the impending doom to somehow come undone....

home sweet home

2011-03-29T23:26:00.001-07:00

I live in a weird place... i am a weird person...i've been told that a lot of times by the closest of my friends... I can practically live with a little clutter and dirt here and there but not with animosity... I take pride of my color, the hue of land mixed with a little sand.. Sometimes i still dream of flying like i used to as a child...my greatest dream is not to be a billionaire but an angel...each day i try my best to be good a girl as "good" can be... I know how to cook but not good at it but am pretty sure you will not die if you risk to taste what i serve :) No vehicle not even a bicycle could reach the place where our little family built a small house upon a hill... Last weekend i climbed to the roof for the first time and enjoyed every bit of my time...and swear i will do it again...the sight of clouds and the sky...the feel of the wind on my face, the singing of birds gliding by make me happy undoubtedly...Perhaps i'll stay here for good...afraid to give up the simple life that i live...

contented with who and what i am...i can safely say today, that yes i am....i am Happy where i am....in my motherland:)

brotherhood

2011-03-24T08:41:00.001-07:00

there's absolutely nothing more that this mother's heart ardently wishes

than to see her two sons

loving each other

until she crosses beyond the sunset....

for it is what will keep her sun shining..long after her days are done....

maybe

2011-01-18T16:24:00.000-08:00

(i took this photo right here in my hometown just several minutes from our house that made me contemplate once again on maybe thoughts....)

maybe heaven afterall is a place on earth

for the Lord created us in his own image and likeness

and walked the same ground

maybe all we have to do

is believe, share the faith and

keep things untainted as untainted can be

Transient

As we bid goodbye to 2010 or whatever it does represent
May we remember that everything that glitters, the walls we touch and see...

"the lights, the buildings, the bridges, the fame"

shall come to pass

but not the LOVE that comes from the one Above

"november"

2010-11-22T21:56:00.000-08:00

November, my birth month is about to end and i haven't posted anything here yet hahaha..

Well anyway i do not think this will be of any interest to anyone but i will ramble anyway...what's with the title of the blog...well, i was born on the first day of NOVEMBER making it my all time favorite word....

My life as it is now is blissful. Simple as i am, i am happy with what i have now. What matters is that my kids up there, Francis and Roel are healthy and happy and cared for. Needless to say, they are my everything. To God i want to give glory all the days of my life. My greatest dream has not changed all through the years, it remains to be "to someday reach heaven"...

I love you all, the only things i hate are bad intentions, selfishness, rudeness and dishonesty...i can never hate a person...always just the negative attitudes, never the person...i can forgive seventy times seven and i mean it...

from the bottom of my sincere heart, i thank you for reading once again, you are a rainbow in my life....God bless your good heart.

'tis the window where i spent many sleepless nights dreaming of the future...i still could picture myself up there, a child wondering about the universe...now that i have come down into the real world...i still wonder..about the man in the moon...how flowers get to bloom...

sunset- October 10,2010

2010-10-10T20:09:00.000-07:00

This was the sunset yesterday as viewed from the hospital lobby where i work. It seemed just an ordinary Sunday until i proclaimed a human being gone to the after life again. I am lost for words now because my brain is tired. I have one important thing to say though...."each second counts, swallow pride, embrace humility and love until all the love in the world is shared to all"....i keep telling that to myself for indeed some things are easier said than done...we are here for a purpose, all of us... that i believe...the challenge is set each sunset...as we close our eyes to rest it is in God's Almighty hands to wake us up in the morning or turn us into pure memory...we might as well make beautiful memories....of sunsets and sunrises....

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

2010-09-29T07:08:00.000-07:00

In certain moments

we find ourselves

humming melodies

from way back when

There are hearts

that beat in unison with ours

that no matter how far we get from them

they are always near

like wings fluttering

whispering, kissing our thoughts

and making us realize

that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL...

Beautiful in My Eyes – Joshua Kadison Music Code

trip to forever

2010-09-14T02:36:00.000-07:00

The old woman goes there everyday

Waits in vain

Even if she knows that yah, she is waiting in vain

But she patiently sits there on the same spot everyday

Everyday without fail...

She would gaze at the blue sky

And then laugh alone

and shed tears that will always fall on the same spot

on her lower lip

The salty taste would mingle

with the smile that never fails to shine

When she remembers

that the one she waits for has long been gone

And she would everytime ask herself

"why the smile?"

and she would answer with the same thing everytime

"the end of something, is better than its beginning"

then she would silently retrace her steps and walk towards home

And mumble a name from long ago

her walking stick would guide her through the way

she would trip once in awhile

but she vows to go there again tomorrow

until all the morrows fade away.....

memories

2010-09-11T16:51:00.000-07:00

There is something about the drastic changing of emotions that enchants this foolish heart. This heart misses the good old days of being innocent. You know, that stage where you spend hours and hours day dreaming...looking up the sky, dreaming of a prince charming...wondering how he would look like...will he be as stunning as what you see in fairy tales, as gentleman as gorgeous as brave and mighty and sweet...aaahhhh the days of "he loves me he loves me not"...star gazing, horoscope analysis, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, the age of immaturity...but know what, some things never change through the years...like a tree that stands sturdy through the storms...true love and friendship exists beyond forever...if you doubt it, you will never feel it... ha ha ha ha ha, i am captivated by the spell of "biking" memories.....travel with me down memory lane, back to the times when your heart first said " i love thee"...........and be young again..............:-)

one sunset at home

2010-09-08T17:13:00.000-07:00

At dawn and sunset i think the doors of heaven are opened

One only has to look above with a thankful heart and believe

Because indeed, nothing is ever impossible with God in our lives...

bitter sweet and bright

2010-09-08T07:43:00.000-07:00

I have always been fascinated by colors as a child.

Photography brings to mind so many memories.

A box of crayons kept me company in my early years.

Now at almost thirty five i have ceased coloring photos in books because i have discovered that the Lord is the best painter of all!

weeds

2010-09-04T05:06:00.000-07:00

I love them weeds....

Something about their slender bodies

That sway with the wind

Their captivating touch as one walks past

That mends this soul at dawn and dusk

Perhaps God made them weeds

To remind our hearts

That indeed humility and gentleness

are an angel's tasks

green

2010-08-28T07:26:00.000-07:00

on my way to work one morning i was greeted by these lovely green things at the foot of the bridge...so i quickly dug for my cam inside my bag and took a shot...

the rice planting season has officially began...the farm now looks as green as green could be and i am looking forward to the scent of hay that makes almost everyone at home gay,

soul mate

2010-08-25T06:44:00.000-07:00

the world is huge

or is it?

i think not to souls connected by

an invisible cord

we stay together

amidst the distance

and even if we utter not a word

have never hugged, embraced or kissed in person

we are united

and co-exist...

like this two yellow pretty winged creatures i found

resting on a wall...

we all do find comfort in our

silent embrace...

to blog again

2010-08-03T06:56:00.000-07:00

suddenly i want to blog again....

the big difference is that i used to be so inlove with mere words, not so much with images

but my salitype family taught me how to love that thing called a camera and my life has changed

forever!

you, blue, hue

2010-06-26T22:39:00.000-07:00

has it been that long

the spark has gone a long way since

that hue that lighted each morning

has colored everything

now it has reached the point of no return

that place and time called forever

because when something is true

it can never be erased

i love that hue, that hue called blue!

of love and flowers

2010-04-13T08:47:00.001-07:00

It has been quite a while since i wrote a letter here....sigh....

I've been through one great test in life again...

so to myself i write-

Dear Kulasa,

May God Bless you girl.
This November 1st you are going to hit "35"...whew!
Funny how you are lost for words now...ha ha ha...

Love,
Kulasa

....hahahahaha, i am at work now, waiting for medicines to work on my dear patients...
...it is almost Midnight! ....my stomach yearns for food!
...aaaahhhhhh life is so simple really when you come to really think of it...
"hungry- you eat"
"sleepy- you sleep"
"love someone- kiss"
"mmmmm angry- shout"
"happy- laugh"
"tired- rest"
"too tired to even breathe- die"
hahahahahahaha.......i'm too sleepy to make sense now...
posting my dad's favorite flower- sending it to heaven...you know, the people we love never leave us.....they will forever be with us, in God's simple gifts of "pleasure"....Blessed day everyone!

house upon a hill

2009-12-01T05:19:00.000-08:00

He was embracing me from behind..."
with that kind of tenderness that could melt any girl's heart...

whispering into my ear-

"someday i will build you a house upon a hill, you will be my queen and i will be your king"......
we shared such a passion for nature that when far away from each other we would meet in the sky, gazing at the moon...

everything seemed so elusive then when we were but nameless faces in a sea of gold...almost, almost, we almost lost each other

if it were not for a bond that erases all doubt,

all tragedy and misfortune- our first-born son...

happy birthday Francis! this post is for you...

the images we wake up to each morning in our new home whose origin came
from the beating of your heart inside my womb

eleven years ago when your dad promised ...
to build me a HOUSE UPON A HILL...where true love is what we call HOME...
i hope that someday you will also say-

"there is no other place i'd rather be"...

"for God's creation will always be the best sight there could ever truly be

and the best shelter is in the arms of simplicity!"

moving on

2009-11-06T02:23:00.000-08:00

it is amazing that after days of darkness...sorrow reaches its end

and what is left, is a blue sky and a blue sea, that makes one say- 'Oh sure, life goes on'

sunrise

2009-10-30T07:03:00.000-07:00

we slept for the first time at the farm last Sunday

and woke up to a sunrise like no other...

for we planned to live here with dad

who now lives inside our hearts!

In HIS Time

2009-09-27T23:06:00.000-07:00

it's almost sixty days now since dad has gotten ill and here i am re-learning lessons in this large thing called life...

the most beautiful sight there is each day is the rising of the sun...i never really got to appreciate it until those days i had waking up at the hospital looking at the sky, hearing my dad's breathing beside me realizing how great indeed our God is for giving us the gift of life....

when sleep becomes a luxury tell yourself "it is so great to be alive and to be awake looking at the people we love"...

the sky is the biggest place on earth....it could contain all the prayers in the world and there is a God who resides somewhere in the clouds watching over us all the time...

the family is the best place there is on earth

"Life is all about travelling to somewhere else away from our loved ones someday..what matters is the journey!"

in my heart i know that the Lord will take care of my dad someday and lay him on green pasteurs....

"the most precious of gems in the world are not made of stone...but of flesh...sell the diamond and buy food for the hungry..seek not to be famous but to be meek like a lamb..."

so when the time finally comes for your FINISH LINE, you can smile and say "Lord, i know i did fine..."

I graciously wait and work for my own time.

IN HIS TIME.

why the Lady Ceased to Rhyme

2009-08-29T01:08:00.000-07:00

She loves to write about the sun

The setting of it

The rising of it

Each breath a child takes

Each piercing sound

Each line of regret

Why not write about

The man she loved the most?

Why not rhyme and shine writing about him?

Maybe because she knows

That the tree is beginning to wither

And she caterwauls

She could weep for hours for the death of a nation’s hero

Why not stop and just stare….stop and just stare at the wilting

Of her unsung hero?

Only a beat keeps him away from the place and time

That will forever take him away from the lady’s heart

So the lady stops to rhyme…..

To cherish each second, each smile, each sweat, each tear

From the tree, that brought her to this LIFE

The lady refuses to rhyme because….

No other person, no other place and time compares

To the man she calls- her most precious Time and Place and Hero, all rolled into one….

Everything else will have to wait because-

The Man might soon become just another man who walked on these ground

But to her, for her, in her….

The man for now, is the only reason she touches the letters in November…..

Because whatever comes hereafter….he may no longer see, read nor hear

But everything he is for now, for now….will be left in the Lady who calls herself…

The daughter of Francisco….no other name is more beautiful at the moment….none

other…

Francisco…Francisco….Francisco….

Let the Lord guide your hand….

I will be here, forever….your lady..your daughter who for now refuses to rhyme

Because……you deserve all my time….

"INCENDIARY"- lifted from my friendster blog- august in november

2009-08-10T22:40:00.000-07:00

i tilt my head

to welcome the drops of water

they run down my neck, to my breast, my arms, my legs

with closed eyes i think of all the times

in my life i chose to be with you

i have changed

a lot has changed

when was the last time i heard you sing to me?

sing for me and sing of me?

sigh, i let out a sigh, and hug myself

the water goes drip drop, drip drop on the tiles

mingling with my tears,

does the water make the tears less salty?

of course it does…of course it does…

i open my eyes…i do not see you anywhere…

where are you? where have you gone?

all these years of being together, giving all of me…

what has it done? to me? i seem to have lost me…lost me…

i do not want to grab the towel and dry myself…

i want to just stay here, under the artificial rain…

to make the tears taste less salty…

to drown the anguish with flowing water…

to wash away the misery…

oh misery is it?

or simply boredom?

for where has the lust gone?

has it been blown with the aging of the sun?

more than the lust…i am looking for the love…

where has all the enchantment gone?

the billowing of the years, has it taken away the fire?

i rest my shoulders on the wall

i look at myself in the mirror

has this been the same face?

yes it was, it still is the same,

the same eyes, the same lips that made you mine

then…now? i do not know the answer…

but i know that somehow, i left you

somewhere, i left you…and i laugh…

i bathe in revelry because

i have learned…to love myself!

house upon a hill

2009-08-09T03:50:00.000-07:00

it doesn't look grand at all...it isn't really grand,
it has doors, windows, a roof and floor
but it is going to be our home and that
makes it so special....and for one,
it is something we dreamt of many years ago when
we were still younger and the love has just began...
"a house upon a hill"
....walk with me...

Getting home will be no joke because
the place could only be reached on foot...
so if you come and visit me someday,
make sure you are "physically fit"
and do not mind being splashed with muddy
water because, muddy it is on rainy days...
by the time you reach our doorstep you
will be in a dire need to drink two glasses
of cold water, to dry your face with a towel
and to lie on a hammock...
i can promise to offer the two plus a view of these....

At any rate, it is never where or how home is...
it is always the people in that state we call
"home" that makes everything feel more than heavenly!

i would just like to thank our

dear hospital chief nurse for
allowing me to use her office
for my paper works...it is
such a bliss to be welcome
in her cool room each morning
after my rounds...
precious souls have lost their
lives in this place which
used to be an isolation room...
May God bless their souls and
may they rest in eternal peace...Amen.

..have to go off to

dreamland now...will be on

a 24 hour duty
again tomorrow...

looking forward to using dear
ma'am Del's office for the
nth time on Wednesday
morning he he he...

"Work, isn't work,

if you work with a heart...."

so that means,
"work, work, work,
is read as love, love, love"

2009-07-24T06:12:00.000-07:00

She was lying there...
....getting ready for
her wedding was
something she never
envisioned...it was
akin to going to
her funeral..
that was what it felt..
at that precise moment
that was it to her...
she heard someone
knocking at the door..
'must be her mom..
she said "it is open,
come in"...but no
one entered the room
...she saw a lizard on the
ceiling...it wiggled its
tail and she felt her
insides boiling like
wine...how could he
have done this to her?
how could he have
been such a liar?
was she not that good
enough for him? what was
it she failed to do? what was
it he was looking for
that was not yet in her?...
aaah cut the crap she
forced her mind to say...
she got up, stood infront
of the mirror and stared
into her eyes...he was
there...he was written
all over her face, like
a tattoo...she grabbed
whatever it was nearest to
her right arm and shoved it
hard towards the dresser...
it made a sound that
woke her senses and she
ran out of the room...
running out of breath
she found the stairs..
logic was not her
friend at the moment...
no, she did not want a
friend to save her this
time, she wanted to end
it all...what was left
for her to live for?
she thought...she stepped
outside...the wind was
cold and breezy, her
hair danced with the
wind and she found
herself humming a
melody..."but will you say
that you love me, and show
me that you care, say when
i need you, you will
always be there..."
she kept on repeating
that line of a song while
walking in the garden..
her feet touching the
wetness of the grass
brought her senses
back..as if waking up from a
bad dream she began to
sob....the sobbing slowly
became a good cry until
she felt so weak she sat
on the bench...drying her
face...she got up...walked
back to her room...where
she lay down again...humming

a letter to dad

2009-07-22T00:19:00.000-07:00

dear dad,

oh sure, dad's day is over..

but it is going to be your

birthday soon...and

you are turning "70"

huh! my dad is

aged he he he he...

as i write this i

see your silhoette and

hear you working with

your tools outside the

room...

"to live is to move!"

that has been your

favorite line for

weeks now...

i know i will never

have the courage to

let you read this

he he he..

although oftentimes

you would barge

into our room when i am

infront of this computer

(and most of the

time i am he he he) but

i never really had the

strength to let you

read a poem or an

essay of mine....

i don't know, maybe

because i know i'd be

giving you a hard time...

ha ha ha ha, your eyesight

has become poorer and

poorer ha ha ha and i

could just imagine you

sticking your nose

near the monitor,

holding your eyeglasses

ha ha ha....but i do want

the world to know that

you are one of the best

dads in the world...

haaaayyyyy do you

remember weekends when

i was a child until i was a

teener....you would take

us to the sea where

you would indulge in

your fishing hobbby and

i would spend my time watching

the waves....playing in the

sand...how i miss those days...

now, you no longer drive...i

do not drive too so we have

no way of going there

anytime we want ha ha ha

..and remember that time

i asked you to teach me

how to sing and you

wrote the lyrics of a

carpenter song on the

board, teaching me the

melody word for word

ha ha ha ha ha but

still i never got to sing...

i mean really learn to sing

melodiously ha ha ha....

but you, you can sing!

how you love Josh Groban...

he has to know that you are

his number one fan he he he...

at lunch today we talked

about my kids' growing up...

and you said, you feel you

will live to be 80 plus or so

which means you still

have ten years to spend

with us....and as i thought

about this it hit me...

the best things in life

are truly free and i would

want to stay not that busy

for the next ten years

may God allow it to

be longer...

so i could be with you...

to watch you age

gracefully, be there when

you will need me the

most...i remember how

i panicked when you

had your stroke...i thought

that you would die, i was

looking after patients

at work when you had

the symptoms and i wasn't there

for you at once....

do you remember that time

when i told you i was

pregnant for the first time?

i was in first year med,

single and unprepared

and you cried

like a child? and said

it was only

the second time you

ever cried in your life...

the first time was

when your mother died...

and how you helped me

through it all....

and i learned that no man

will ever surpass a

father's love for his

daughter...

you were there when i

first fell inlove...and you

even taught me how to

write my first love letters

.....unknowingly though he he he

because i made you my

walking dictionary...

right now as i write, i

feel like a child...

i even sound like a child..

if only to be with you

for the rest of your remaining

years...i think i will

give up career

advancement....

i love you dad...

and i thank God for
you....

sincerely yours,

kulasa

the boys at the beach

2009-07-09T03:30:00.000-07:00

I'd go running and turning
to watch you go, grow and glow!
I love you boys!

in the beginning

2009-06-30T07:27:00.000-07:00

"In the beginning when God
created the universe,
the earth was formless and desolate.
the raging ocean that covered
eveything was engulfed in total
darkness, and the Spirit of God
was moving over the water."
- Genesis 1:1-2
I am welcoming myself into
a new home for my thoughts.

"Lord may i be, fitting
to be called your daughter."

"To God be the glory, all
honor is yours now and
forever."

I now embark on a journey
to the "BEAUTY OF THIS THING
CALLED LIFE!"

If you so please......
travel with me.....
