MY WISH AND MY PLEA



"How sad, a heart that does not know what love is, that does not feel the greatness of love. If it doesn't have true love, how can it enjoy the blinding light of the sun, the beautiful colors of the rainbow and the soft light of the moon?"

" THE CHALLENGE OF TIME "......

The phraseology of my hereby writes is my particular mode of expression,. My wordage reveals and promulgates my ideas and my thoughts. Today, it's about TIME. The challenge of TIME. The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when Age becomes a burden. Follow the arrow of the time as time goes on, for Hard time teaches us valuable lessons.

*After our creator, time is our next significance.
We perceive it, we eye it just at a glance.
Without thinking about its importance
Though essential in any circumstance.

But Time is irreversible and irreplaceable.
As well as inevitable and forcibly unstoppable

Time is a record of the past, the present and the future.
Considering time, we come to such a varied conjecture.
We let it pass as it comes, until it becomes a pressure.
Time can be all, a pleasure as well as a torture.

In our moments of melancholy, we assess the bygone time,
The marvel, the delight, the wonders, the flaws left behind.
We recall our deeds, our desires, our feelings, our lack, to describe,
Our errors, our weakness, our failure, our guilt, we contrived,

Challenges, invective and pride, did make us blind,
We let go, forget, forgive, which others may decline.
Our pain, our regrets, our guilt induce us to reconcile.
Near or far wherever we are, by reason we tend to unify.
Happiness, peace, forgiveness should be our prime.

Time goes by and with it, all can be changed,
Feelings and all, eventually become so strange.
Causing pain, sorrow and hardens the heart.
Drifting away everyone and set them apart.

Time is merciless, tenacious and steadfast.
We should ponder upon but let no hope blast.
Be contrite about, before it is too late at last.
Time, Oh Time, the predominant of our outlast.*


Don't make time a waste. Yes, because that day will come when our time is up and we are out of time. Then, to whatever realm our souls will go, it will be beyond the bounds of time. Time is what we want most but what we use worst. We may be powerful today but time is more powerful than us. Let's give it a good thought and make good use of our TIME.

Thank you so much for your read and views. I wish all of you "A GOOD TIME".

AUTUMN A SPECTACULAR SEASON.

Autumn, is a season which gathers all the colors of Spring and Summer, to a spectacular fall. Just before the death of flowers and before they are buried in the snow, there comes a festival season, when nature is aglow. Autumn strips the trees naked, as all the red, yellow, gold and brown leaves float quietly and softly down. Whirling and twirling forming a mosaic carpet on the ground. But when those leaves are stepped upon, listen for the cracking sound.

Notice how the trees do not cling to their leaves. Fall is about releasing the old to make way for the new. Silent makes all the sound of Autumn an amazing sound and Autumn leaves are awesome colors all over. It carries more gold in its hand than all the other seasons. On the day when the light and darkness are equal, may you find the balance you need in your life,may you be blessed with prosperity and abundance of many kinds and may you be surrounded by those who love you. Wishing this Autumn brings bountiful of happiness and joy to all of you. "Happy Fall to each and everyone".

Haiti, a country where its population has never had a decent life. The least modesty has always been beyond their reach. It lags behind most others in industrialization, education, standard of living, healthcare, life expectancy, other technological and cultural norms and bear the utmost poverty.

" AN ARAB IN A BAR"
Posted:Sep 24, 2016 6:30 am

A rich Arab walks into a bar and is about to order a drink when he sees a guy close by wearing a Jewish cap, a prayer shawl and traditional locks of hair.
He doesn't have to be Einstein to know this guy is Jewish.

So he shouts over to the bartender so loudly that everyone can hear: 'drinks for everyone in here, bartender, but not for the Jew over there'.
Soon after the drinks have been handed out, the Jew gives him a big smile, waves at him, then says: 'thank you', in an equally loud voice.

This infuriates the Arab. He once again loudly orders drinks for everyone except the Jew. As before, this does not seem to bother the Jewish guy. He continues to smile, and again yells: 'thank you'.

The Arab asks the bartender: "What's the matter with that Jew? I've ordered two rounds of drinks for everyone in the bar but him, and all he does is
smile and thank me." The bartender replies: 'He owns the place'.

Hope this would give you a little smile for the weekend. Thank you.

" MANY PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE"......

This is my little plea for peace to each and all of our friends on the site. It's a poem from J-P Sartre, which I want to share with you. And the photos, I have chosen them accordingly. Hoping it would revive be it a little of our good sense.

* Hell is many people who
No matter what you do
Always find something to judge
They drag you through the sludge
And see through your thin disguise
As they shred you with their eyes
All their faults and lack
They place upon your back
Unable to see their own transgression
It becomes their only obsession
To find all of your flaws
And all your broken laws
And they won't even let you live
Because they refuse to forgive

Heaven is other people who
No matter what you do
Choose to see the best
In you and forget the rest
They don't dwell on your sin
Since they want all to win
They don't create divisions
By their prideful derisions
Of those with whom they differ
For they know that the transfer
Of their own guilt to another
Will come back and smother
Their efforts to be free
And their search for unity
~~~~Jean-Paul Sartre.


Why fighting my friends, why being so tense,
let's our good sense prevail. Let's use a little of our finesse. To mark our presence here and making it our best.
Thanks for your read and views.

THE MOUNTAIN GORILLAS AND DIAN F....
Posted:Sep 10, 2016 7:35 am
Last Updated:Nov 13, 2016 5:38 am

Gorillas are one of the most feared animals in the world, while it is true that they are large, powerful creatures, they are also gentle and affectionate. Mountain gorillas are easygoing vegetarians who lead a peaceful, playful life. Large males patiently allow young gorillas to climb all over them without a murmur of protest, and they are not aggressive toward humans unless they are threatened. They are one of the most endangered animals in the world. There are about 600 individuals, living in 2 populations of about 300 each, separated by about 20 miles. Their entire world consists of 285 square miles of high-elevation rain forest in east-central Africa. They are endangered from habitat loss and war. Today, they face a new threat — the aftermath of a tragic civil war that erupted in Rwanda in the early 1990s, claiming the lives of 500,000 people, and creating refugee camps with 750,000 people living in destitution on the borders of the gorillas’ reserves. These refugees and poachers destroyed their habitats and set out snares to capture them. The gorillas were killed intentionally for their meat and parts; gorilla hands and heads were sold as souvenirs to tourists.

The names of the two subspecies reflect their habitat: lowland gorillas live in the lowland forests, while mountain gorillas live at high elevations, 10,000 feet or higher on the slopes of volcanoes. Mountain gorillas are herbivores, eating plants like wild celery, thistle, and nettles. Special treats are bamboo and bracket fungus. Their food plants grow profusely in the cool, moist mountain climate of their range in Rwanda, Zaire/Congo, and Uganda. Gorillas live in family troops led by the largest male, called the Silverback because of the beautiful silver fur on his back. They are fiercely protective of their young and will defend them literally to the death. Poachers are after baby gorillas for international trade often had to kill entire families to capture their quarry. When Civil war broke out in Rwanda in the early 1990s, tens of thousands of soldiers and refugees passing through the gorilla’s habitat and forests on the Zaire side were being denuded for firewood in the refugee camps. If you kill a gorilla, you also disrupt their movement patterns and feeding sites, it can be can compared to killing a family member in a human family. With the rate of poaching and habitat loss, gorillas in the region may disappear from most of their present range in less than 10 to 15 years.

Dian Fossey, born in San Francisco, California in 1932. was an American primatologist, anthropologist and zoologist, known throughout the world for her devotion, her successful work in Africa and her “active conservation” and anti-poaching initiatives efforts to protect the gorillas. Beginning in 1963, she and her staff regularly patrolled the forest and removed snares set to capture antelope and other animals. Although gorillas were not the poachers’ main targets, snares often trapped gorillas and they lost a hand or a foot to infection. Fossey’s efforts were too successful for her own personal safety, She used the time away to focus on the manuscript for her book, Gorillas in the Mist. and like the movie of the same name, remains popular to this day. Dian Fossey made the ultimate sacrifice 20 years after her work began: she was murdered in 1985, before her 54th birthday, presumably by poachers.

On a December 27th 1985 fatidic day, Dian's body was discovered murdered in the bedroom of her cabin in Virunga Mountains. Her skull had been split by a machete, a tool widely used by poachers, Fossey was found beside her bed, with her handgun beside her and her own hair pulled out in the hand. She was in the act of loading her weapon, but had picked the wrong type of ammunition during the struggle, of which the signs were broken glass and tables with other furniture overturned.
Fossey is buried at Karisoke, at a site that she herself had constructed for her deceased gorilla friends. She was buried in the gorilla graveyard next to Digit, and -near many gorillas killed by poachers. Fossey's will stated that all her money (including proceeds from the film Gorillas in the Mist) should go to the Digit Fund to finance anti poaching patrols and to protect and save the Mountain Gorillas and the Lowland Gorillas as well.
Dian Fossey was without any doubt one of the best gorilla defender worldwide who died doing what she loved, protecting the mountain gorillas from extinction. She will always be missed by all her followers and the whole gorilla community.

Dian's last entry in her diary read:
" When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future."
"There was no way that I could explain to dogs, friends, or parents my compelling need to return to Africa to launch a long-term study and the protection of the gorillas. Some may call it destiny and others may call it dismaying. I call the sudden turn of events in my life fortuitous." – Gorillas in the Mist

I hope my above story has given you an insight of those gorillas and the famous Dian Fossey.. I wish you a happy reading.

A COMPLEX EMOTIONAL INFLUENCE
Posted:Sep 5, 2016 11:07 am
Last Updated:Oct 24, 2016 7:37 am

A way of regarding things, be it a point of view or just a thought on how "A Complex Emotional Influence", affects an individual.

When the eyes prompt new enthusiasm in the opposite gender or its similar, they only center and lead to an active instant interest and excitement, as a delight; a fever pitch; a zeal; an assiduity; a crave; an impulsive desire; a yearning; a relish, a sort of ecstasy and an intense enjoyment. A particular appetency.

These arouse, incite, induce, ignite one's personal mind. They engender and incite one's heart ardently. They spark and generate an instant eagerness and stir up one's inner feelings, regardless of anything or anyone. When it happens oftenly , It becomes an addiction, a hobby, the individual becomes a seducer, a chaser and a self pleasure seeker, a deceiver.

However, what may follow later, doesn't matter pronto or momentarily, cause the feeling is too exalted and centered only one's sensation. But subsequently, when self conscious and logic prevail over emotion, self guilt is felt and regrets fill up one's mind. When one chews more than being able to swallow, one spits out effectively. Cause the eyes, the mind and the heart in conjunction, can only hold what they can and what they are able to.

Eventually, the furtiveness or the covert would be disclosed by any means. Be it by self desolation, fear, uncertainty, by guilt, or wholeheartedly . Such concealment is heavy to bear continually.
Hence, A factual Complex Emotional Influence, affects one's behavioral attitude, one's propensity and mentality, in action and utterances.

This is an issue subjected to everyone's perception and views.
Thank you for your read. Your opinion is warmly welcome as it will enlighten us more on the subject.

A MEANINGFUL FLOWER.....

From my garden, among the beautiful flowers, I had picked the most appealing and dear to my heart, it meant a lot for me and........

I offered you that Flower, the purest of all others,
It's fragrance to desire, to cherish and to wonder.
I gave you the flower to behold, to retain, to consider.
Yes, to you I proffered that flower of a vast grander.
To keep, to perpetuate, to maintain and to nurture.

The Flower of my heart, with all its splendor,
The flower I held out to you with all tender.
With hope, with aim, it would get a shelter.
In you, was believed to find a kind protector.

On each of its petals, I marked your initials,
For which I thought you'll lovingly treasure.
Your name was even drawn on its green sepals,
Glazed by the sheen of a the remarkable luster.

For you to immortalize, to distinct my flower,
To eternize its solemn definition forever.
But the Flower now seems to have withered,
On the verge of vanishing or fast fading ever .

Harboring, unsupported, discomforted,
The wonderful flower, is disregarded.
Renounced, abandoned or disowned.
Oh!, pretty Flower you are forsaken
by an unfortunate luckless predicament.
My Flower, you're my heaven' endowment.

************************
It was the most magnificent flower among all the others, Ninu. It was a Rose, a Rose with its sweet scent. A Rose with its real meaning and... A rose for eternity. Check it out among all those in the photos below. You'll surely find and select that special and distinct one.
May the readers also make their choice among these beautiful ones. Each colored rose has its own meaning and signification. What is your preferred one(s)?
Thank you so much for your read and views. I hope these Roses have inspired you.
Lisa.
