Never Give-Up On a Good Thing

The Four Candles, Author Unknown

4/11/2009 The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak... The first candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit." Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely. The second candle says, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable." Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely. Sadly the third candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer." "People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them." And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.

Suddenly... A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning. The child begins to cry,"Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end. "Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles."With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other three candles. Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life. With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are... Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.

Full/Fool of It

So, April Fools Day, April 1, 2009 huh? Well... puns a go-g0 & punz are us... As it happens the moon is not full-on tonight, you know not a fool moon. It is a waxing half moon. When I looked up a little while ago, it kind of called me to stay outside, to look straight up and bodda-bing-bodda-bang, up high, far away and just right there, accessible as a glance. Positioned out there, flying, floating, hovering over mi mundo muy preciosa (my precious world). A generous slice of half-moon pie served-up at dusk. The chilly air magnifies the hue's seen from here at this time and place. Icey blue, grey & white crackle like an old Kodak camera with the 110' flash-cube-looking, eye lid in the sky. It is a crystal clear view in all it's creamy brilliance, beautiful as if it was the first time I ever saw it.
Where was I? Yes, and we can be so fool of it, fool of one's self. Fool hearty or fool hardy or just plain farty? HAH!! Gotcha! April Fool's? OK, I'm feeling both, hearty and hardy. Fool on The Hill. Oh this is foolishness, Tom Foolery. I think I 'bout had my fill, Oh, make that; fool... but then it would read; "had my fool?" That won't work. I'm satisfied tho' and full. I delivered the fool, phul, Full Monty, full throttle...
