Beware the Quiet Ones. The Quiet Ones are the Thinkers The Quiet Ones are the Dreamers They’re the heart seekers, thrill lovers, and love givers They’re the heart breakers, story makers, and life changers The best heroes, the worst villains, the most notorious saints and sinners Their hearts and minds are largest of all (But they’ll never control them) Beware the Quiet Ones, because it’s Always the Quiet Ones. The Quiet Ones will always listen, even when you won’t do the same They’ll break your comfort zone, just to make you comfortable They’ll never ask for favors or a shoulder to cry on But they will always be there, hanging on every word and tear They’ll sell their souls to save yours, sacrifice their minds to break yours They’re the strongest, and the most broken. The Quiet Ones don’t like to harm you, because they know too well how it feels... but don’t you hurt them. They’ll always forgive and never forget, and they know how to aim for the heart All they know is the past, and vengeance is their greatest weapon. That’s why it’s always the Quiet Ones. Whether the key to your heart or your greatest fear? The Quiet Ones will find it – Beware the Quiet Ones. The Quiet Ones are the first to stand up, and the last to point the finger They’ll stand up for anything, because they have nothing to lose. They are the champions of love and hate, and if you hate to love them, or love to hate them? That was their plan all along. Your deepest plots or darkest secrets? The Quiet Ones knew all along. They’re four steps ahead of you – Beware the Quiet Ones. They’ll never put you down, but believe they know how, because the Quiet Ones see EVERYTHING They know what you did, they heard what you said - they were there Their depth knows no end, yet they’re so empty inside Their curses bring power, their strengths bring weaknesses They’ll control you, even when they can’t control themselves That’s why it’s always the Quiet Ones Beware the Quiet Ones.

They are the heart givers and the breath takers without them I cannot live but just like my exgirlfriend they can't seem to find where they left their compassion. I cannot breathe but that is only because it cost too much to live understanding their desire of money it pains me to know greed not of my own will be the cause of my death. That in my generosity I forgot planting trees does not grow the greens they seek and the carrots sprouting are ones they eat not the ones they don't wear to the office but dance around their family with. Education was supposed to be their gravity and with each ounce of knowledge built an anchor to the moon because instead of humanity they've become a celestial star whose imagination wanders outside the orbit of those who may be suffering. A broken hearted soul paves the waiting room with their corpse because while in the void something had to go and it wasn't the money but a man that couldn't afford to keep his heart going.

Hospice is the rest stop between heaven and earth They care for you for all your worth They are with you in your final days Taking care of you in so many ways. Relieving many burdens, and helping family and friends Consoling them till the end. The care givers are with them thru their pains And they don’t do it for fortune or fame. Finding care at the end of life For a husband, sister, brother, or wife Or a family member who may be alone or in pain When needing help there is no shame. They are health professionals and volunteers Who help the dying from their fears! It takes a special kind of person to help others In their hours of need, and on their help the dying do feed. A little smile, a kind word, a gentle hand Are things that they understand! Let them leave this world with a mind full of memories And a heart full of love, given from you as they travel above.

hospice - end of life
The Pigeon Gent, He woos and coos around the river bent. Pursues his muse with artful dance and skillful prance, With inflated neck and ruffled plumage, until his energy or luck is spent. He then resides by ebbing tides to ponder on his next advance. "Now Now", "Whats This" the gent exclaims, A shadow looming from the skies. With ***** and claps he glides and lands with  full surprise, He spies the intruder, "A fellow Brooder". Pigeon gent cant believe his eyes. Pigeon Gent cannot believe the sauce, The scurge seems intent on taking his prize by force. At once he knows he must respond, And force this illbread vagabond to abscond. At once chest puffed and muscles flexed, With wild eyes he jabs and pecks. To teach this ruffian respect, So on his actions he may later reflect. He stands his ground both large and proud, To make example of this foul winged burglar from the clouds. "You insult me sir" he shouts aloud, To make his intentions clear for all the crowd. For several rounds they fight and scuffle. With intruder retreating, feathers ruffled. Then bested suiter fairly parted, The quarrel ends as fast as started. The vanquished victor displays and grooms, As peace and honour now resumes. Soon the ripples upset the green, An armada of ducks come on the scene. Alerted by the heightend coos, They race to see what act insues. The mighty mallards, Kings of the river, None contest their right of way. Their ways of conduct such generous givers. Majestic river royalty, the law is always what they say. On bank or shallow pebbled river they have always been, They love to feed and breed amongst the river scene. There royal cape made up of browny reds and shimmering greens, reflects and intejects on mirrored water skies and evergreens. To their mates for life and lady lovers, The mallard gent is like no others. Such loyalties are seldom seen, In modern times and different dreams. Fine and lean with striking features, Best examples of river teachers. But at any moment no matter how abrubt, A river duel may easily erupt. Battle can ensue and rage, As both apponents approach and engage. For they mate for life as duck and wife, A rarity in any age or life.

How to understand the importance of being alive Wake up in the early morning without anything to say about, Look forward to hearing from you my friend and would like to know what are your thoughts in the end of a sleeping night. To live is the best way of getting the most important reward for your support and encouragement. I tried to access myself and put some quality in the mystery of being alive.  My melody will be able to offer you amazing words of wisdom regarding  the importance of being able to get your free time to live your own lifetime.      We all are aware of mortality, we believe some in eternal life or can you deal with death in a fare way. ? Of course not...we started to make sure that everyone will be in touch with the fear of being out of life in a certain period of time. Life's is wondering why you should have so many worries, so much trouble, so much pain, presumably the pressure on your own. ... As life goes on I just don't know what to expect from me and to deal with so many different ways of getting the most of things, the most of life.       People are going through the process of setting difference in others people life. We have been made so far much progress in helping others to support important causes.  Men will wonder why some are so confident, positive, and so grateful. In our lives experience we can find givers and receivers. I love them all and try to keep it simple and intuitive.      Sometimes it can be found on the air gratitude, love from the heart.  Life is a good thing indeed.  Deep in so many senses. Clear like transparent water. I really don't know what you think about your own life and the place where you can find life in general.       I wake up every day full of life. People have to look close to the right to monitor the content of your choice to love and hug the offers of being able to care about life.       So look at the moment when you were born,  your name was probably pronounced.  Your parents laugh  with tears.  Your life started with joy.

Foundlings lament beneath their shrouds For the Givers they never knew. Shouts of terror, gone unheard, loud And bright in the fright of selected few. Shadows cast beneath sunlight's flags Are trademarked captions made of stained silk. They trod the daylit bog in dusty rags, Secretly living, they and their ilk.

They, Unheard
We give thanks for all who have enriched our lives with their presence; may we honor them by always being present for others. We give thanks for those who selflessly serve in our armed forces, for the quiet sacrifices of their family and friends and for those who witness for peace and work to end the conflicts of war. We are thankful for the tears of the poor and their example of fortitude in the daily struggle to live and for those that extend a hand and offer a vision of hope and a pathway to advancement. We are thankful for our rich abundance and the blessed spirit that leads us to generously share it with others. We are thankful for wise thoughtful teachers and students that are eager to use that wisdom to better the world. We are thankful for courageous truth tellers and the hard truths they speak and to people of good will that are open and willing to listen and act on those truths. We are thankful for the care givers and their veneration of life and to those who receive care and fill the heart of the giver with fathomless gratitude. We are thankful for people of humility and good will and their blessed example of quiet service and grace. We are thankful for children as an embodiment of our hopes and the future flowering of our greatest aspirations. We are thankful for our animal friends and their example of trusted companionship and unconditional love. We are thankful for sobriety and our ability to discern, see, discover and experience the daily grace life confers upon us. We are thankful for those who are no longer with us, may our time on earth be a blessing to others as they were to us. We are thankful to a higher power that keeps us right sized, humble and grateful for one more day on life's path.

Not knowing, ignorance, is a funny thing. I use to see my past as either a treasure chest or a time bomb, I was never entirely sure which. I use to see my past as a catalyst to some grand adventure, but I could only guess at how long it would last. That's how it goes, everyone only guessing when their adventure ends. Some people know how, but no one knows exactly when. For me though, there was more, A larger question mark, more X's in my equation. I knew less, and it always had me imagining. You see I was adopted at birth, I never knew my life givers, my body makers, my me creators. I only knew they existed. That and the scraps of information gathered throughout years of questions like needles picked slowly and painfully while searching through the hay. She played the flute, just like you. He looked (to her at least) like Wayne Gretzky. They were never married. This was the story but it wasn't my treasure, it wasn't wasn't my bomb. You see I have no idea what to expect at the end of the story, the place where I would meet them, my DNA combiners. At the X on this treasure map would there be gold? Would I find a count-down on a bomb amidst my riches? Would there be, among the glittering joy, a hint at when this grand adventure would end? Most importantly, Did I want to know? Curiosity has always burned in me like a forest fire raging far beyond my self control. I wanted to know. Would I find in the story of my life's creation more family to love, more people who matter? Or not? And if there was a bomb what would it be? Cancer, Heart-disease, Osteoporosis, Alzheimer's? Do I want to know? Do I want to see an expiry date on my young life? This knowing is a gamble, These dice cannot be loaded, These cards cannot be cheated. That is my choice, to live out an adventure short or long, and discover their story. Discover my story. Ignorance is a funny thing.

There are many gifts in God’s great creation All part of His great economy of the order of things The gift of breath The gift of song and of music The gift of life, of image, of love The gift of all things The gift of even --dare I say it-- death He gifted all things that are All is gifted unto us All is given by the Triune God In all gifted, there was still incompleteness There was nothing to respond to God So constructed into the image of God Comes a gift better than any gift before given With the breath of God flowing to our lungs Wearing a crown of the honor and glory of God This gift, these people- Us He says to explore He says to see the world that we have been gifted To unwrap the gifts given To gift our gifts to the world that we are exploring But there was this problem, a tree It was not a gift, in fact it was forbidden Yet still, we unwrapped it, we took that which was not ours to take We were overcome by death Overcome by udder sadness Overcome by sickness, and hurt By this torturous, terrible thing This terrible stolen anti-gift And for it we paid a hefty price We lost all we were We lost all we were meant to be No longer did we fulfill our meaning Where we were to be gift givers Where we were to be life to the world Where we were to bless all things We took that which was not offered We broke our relationship with God Not only did we suffer But all creation suffered with and due to Then came a new gift A gift to restore A gift to be freely taken Yet a gift of great responsibility This gift would set free But also bind This was a gift of all gifts This was a gift to end all gifts God Himself became man Offering Himself unto death So that all things could be made new So all that was sad would become untrue Now, as we were once to be We could, ourselves, be gifts to the world Blessing the world Giving life to a lifeless Our gifts were joined with Christ With this gift, we would become like the gift we were More like it than ever before For Christ makes us more human than we've ever been Where we would offer the world to The Father And for the life of all things Our priesthood would be restored All things would be restored All things would be made new All sad things would come untrue The world would be restored Prepare the way!

The Glitter of the Red Wizards
We gave because we feel that we must We gave because we know it’s the right thing to do We gave because we were corner into giving We gave from the kindness of our hearts Giving is not always a fear exchange. occasionally we get shortchange Giving is a guilty conscience: you give me something I have to return the favor. Some givers like to stay out of the limelight:  that’s me it’s best way out :  no acceptance speech No you “shouldn’t have, it was so generous of you You are so kind to think of me". Giving is like uncut rough diamond, it never sparkles until it polish

Sewing the Seed
I only pretend with pretenders And contend with contenders I'm only giving to the givers And forgiving to forgivers I'm only strange with strangers And dangerous with dangers I'm only hateful to the haters And traitorous to traitors ©

a commune back home not hippie buy 300, no 500 acres great land in Codroy or misty high hilled Avalon built great big house wraparound porch beset by rocking chair by the sea yet in the woods at end of road all brown dirt growing gardens, herb and vegetable pulling weeds but keeping good green **** brewing beer by own hand group work but not always group think friends lovers writers growers givers all come to stay making great pots of stew and strange brews awakening brought far from Peruvian Torch homeland telling stories all somehow great fables and anecdotes for life and living and love and everything that's good in the long run at night over bottles on beaches by fires we worry these are funeral pyres for our great little social experiment fear of leaving loving womb of isolated salt fish by sea commune real world so crass&brash; an unctuous affair where here instead guitars, ukes silly screaming little buddhas recite poems by gleaming eye fireside

gleaming eye fireside buddhas
*Some of my best friends are The tiny grey cells in my head For, without these tireless givers I should sorely want*..... For I've had..... The power to recognise the nurturer Who saved me countless times Who sewed my confidence at valedictory Gratitude to Mother...granting me first wings. The help of a few friends with proffered lifts Not many, but enough to light the way Takes but one spark to lead the lost Cannot discount the value of true goodwill. The sweet taste of that first, deep love Who showed the path to discovered delights Easy mem'ries...looking back, but ****** ahead Sighs painted on the ceiling in dreamy webs. The awkward trip down that rabbit hole Blue lady hanging pretty in the corner Flies trapped flimsy, on some terylene Many padlocks loom....to get gasping to you! The chance to slough off onerous habits Dive wholehearted into the universe's sea Gaps to kickstart joy and spearhead cheer Mentors pass the torch and believe in me! Yes, some of my best friends are NOT seen Most reliably spun inside this osseous shell They answer things and help me find my truth Thank heavens....selfless amity equals mercy. S T, 29 June

I believe that givers never quit because they wish their generosity would be reciprocated. Never waiting for payback. Only hoping that the taker may become a giver for someone else.

Generosity
We pass on our memories to generations to come Will we pass on all of our failures, along with triumphs? Or will we be the omniscient evaluators to filter out pain? People's victories and defeats spon individuality The only "sameness" in our lives is that we are all humans Colorful and beautiful in our smiles and well earned scars We are "The Givers" of our lives to future generations Don't hold back! Don't revise. Don't disguise wounds. Be "The Giver" of the Truth. Be "The Giver" of your life. Celebrate you.

We are "The Givers"
Seas of anchors beneath the earth Take hold the dew of morning For truth givers and life bearers Hands stretched to the sky, demanding Freedom and peace and strength and serenity An understanding of things unknown Power purely born into existence From a single, simple seed

For the love of green things
True givers and receivers connected with Mother Nature When I get back to my earlier days I can say that I’m a very lucky man. To be alive is also a great way of getting the most important reward for doing things in harmony with God's grace. Every day we receive sun, rain for free. We plant seeds and the only thing that we do is taking care about them and they will give you the chance of see the beauties of our mother nature. Harvest time will come to pick up the reward of lots of caring about insignificant grains. Every second the universe shows to us the miracle of life. During the day we can have clarified so many different types of light, colorful sky, green or blue waters, golden horizons like purple, rainbows in a sunny day. The perfect gift of having a good day it's a great moment in our daily routine. In modern t times men lost the ability of giving in so many senses. Clear like transparent water should be used with any questions about honesty, loyalty, love. .. To give isn't a big deal for so many people. They are asking for something else. ...truly stunning true givers have a strong feeling of being able to give without restriction. They do that for love to all brothers and sisters. In addition to this I can see that a giver is much more appropriate for me than the receiver. Smiling to get your returns is strictly forbidden. Every time you have received a gift you thank the the giver with words of encouragement, wishing the the best luck .I would really love to know what you think about it? Can you believe in giving a good idea to someone, helping individuals to join the group of friends that lovely give in a pure way? In addition to this receivers wait for the prey all time. They don't understand why givers are happy and healthy. They want to achieve things the same way as a poor man buy tickets for winning the lottery. More closely you are with people who want to share experiences, thoughts, feelings more happy and enthusiastic you will become in a couple of years. To choose is something that is not a problem for each human being. .. We have been made so far by civilization, different types of cultures, difficult to see however how men are fighting and killing each other for stupidity. I believe in one single color of skin, one God, one big nation of people loving each other in peace, Victor Marques
