		<title>Poetry for Teenagers &#8211; Reaching Out &#8211; Changing  Focus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Poetry books for teenagers abound, but there&#8217;s not that many that really hit home.  The obvious author is Ellen Hopkins with her series of best selling concrete poetry (the arrangement of the words on the page are part of the message) Crank, Glass and Fallout, to name three.
If you&#8217;re looking for a book that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review: When the soul awakens: the path to spiritual evolution and a new world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 	  This is a survey book, written in conversational language. It has been invaluable in my research for the Harmony123 series of books. It discusses a wide variety of belief structures, including all major religions. The book has a slight bias toward modern esoteric teachings known as the Ageless Wisdom. It explores higher stages of consciousness.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it the monarch on the right
Or the fox on the bottom
Or all the guys thoughtfully
playing an invisible flute
Or is it me looking at
Your imagery.  Who is
The Guardian of the Secret?
Maybe I need to glance left
at Male and Female
Notice the blackboard
With math that will
Wait forever
To be summed
Like a Grecian urn
Described by Keats, or
Maybe I just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woman Without a Plant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Woman Without a Plant
Okay, Richard
The plant is still in my mind
Placed thre by the
Subtraction of the palm
Maybe because
She's surrounded by
Lush life
But has no friend
(for the moment)

That's the beauty of
painting: One moment later
the light can change.

In fact it must.

I choose to believe
the blue splotches
the brown stigmata
will fade and
she will wander into
A world of warmth
And Bonazi when we
Meet the woman in profile
in full view]]></description>

		<title>Life Poetry: Music and Art Flow Through My Soul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Music and Art Flow Through My Soul

The eye of my mind is always watching
My hands moving, even when still
Playing the keyboard of life
Developing harmonies
Even while I am in a business meeting]]></description>

		<title>A Gaia Life Connection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Gaia Life Connection

We meld, exchange philosophy

This venerable being and me

Placing my hands on the sequoia,

I feel

the vitality of its life pulse

the presence of inner peace

it's willingness to help heal me—offered without request

Wisdom.  Thousands of years of wisdom.

I offer

an image of myself

whatever it wants from me]]></description>

		<title>Butterflies &#8211; Draft 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I'd share some of my revisions with you.  I still consider this first draft.  In this case, I wrote the copy in Microsoft Word and pasted it into FastPencil.  I've also written material in FastPencil first, and then copied it into Word documents. In this particular post, I'm showing you how the FastPencil revision tool lets me compare and contrast changes.

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. 

- Rabindranath Tagore


Universe  7. A field.

 

When she materialized, Lea found herself admiring thousands of monarch butterflies alighting on trees in a field, and she smiled.field; a radiant smile filled her face, eliminating converting her somewhat angular features into a work of beauty that would have inspired Michelangelo. “I’ve missed you all,” she unconsciously whispered, more to herself than to the butterflies. The butterflies said nothing.  Her presence, apparently, went completely unnoticed.  The next moment, the butterflies were gone.  Had she dreameddreamt them?
