Looking for life’s ‘greenest grass’?

What do I want?

Where do I get it?

Why are some people successful,

While others wander – lost?

How do Dreams come true?

I believe we can all have the greenest of grass…IF we want it – seek it with passion –

water the grass properly!

Dreams can’t become reality until there is action.

There is a harmony and balance that must be achieved.
Much thought, and planning must be done – then lots of hard work must be accomplished!
We want green grass – but do we want to water it?
Do we have the passion?
Will we wake up and become aware of our gift of our time, our life?
We usually don’t even take notice of our neighbors hard work watering and tending their yard – until they win the ‘yard of the month’ –
then we get jealous and want their green grass!

All things we dream of are possible
If we really want them!

life is sweet!

Who could need more proof than honey –

How the bees with such skill and purpose
enter flower after flower
sing their way home
to create and cap the new honey
just to get through the flowerless winter

And how the bear with intention and cunning
raids the hive
shovels pawful after pawful into his happy mouth
bats away indignant bees
stumbles off in a stupor of satiation and stickiness

And how we humans can’t resist its viscosity
its taste of clover and wind
its metaphorical power:
We yearn for a land of milk and honey
we call our loved ones “honey”

all because bees just do, over and over
again, what they were made to do

Oh, who could need more proof than honey
to know that our world
was meant to be

and

was meant to be
sweet?
