Interesting when one comes to think
of the simple lessons learned
by the others around us
being family, friends or even enemies
but of all, it is those silent ones
the animals who we make family
also the closest of friends
the cats, dogs or even birds
lizards, rats or maybe its a ferret

Just a simple look
we tend to get the gist
of what they are saying
maybe the way they just lay
tells us the moods and intentions
playful, hunting or simply sleepy
hungry and even like us
craving a little attention from touching.

animals bring magic to us daily
a smile, a laugh, and inspiration…
through the silence of their beingness
I have learned to relax and I will be fine
stressing out just isn’t in their nature
so we human can learn a lot
from those two or four footed friends.
perhaps it’s time to realize that. ~jh

And Smile More….

And Smile More….

Upon this blessed morn
as the clouds drift on
and releasing the beauty of the stars
Understand the miracle live withinsmile more
like those stars may be hidden
yet you know they are always there

Time to release and allow the magic
Out to dance
Bless the world with your true passions
Enjoy the miracles you have witness
the strength of your devotion
To friends and family…and strangers

Don’t stop now
breathe, center, repeat
May sounded repetitive
And a little boring
Experiencing the perfection you truly are
To dig for those diamonds
Hidden within
Relive the magic charms

All of this is just an experience
chosen through your mind
dream again
if you don’t like what is going on…
dream again

And smile more…

Be born again
reimaging your life
Dreams may seem to die
reformed in different dimensions
dreams always live
if your soul must live them
different direction brings new results

Be joyous in your living
Be happy just to dance
Be love in every moment
Be You in the truest ways
Be You in every form
You be joy, love, true… in all forms.

And Smile More….

The Hug of Words

The Hug of Words

{unknown artist}

{unknown artist}

Words reach out like a hug
making the cold distance get closer
and warmer
the heart connection stronger
the reason for being more worthy

simple sayings
of gratitude,
of appreciation,
Of support,
Of love!

makes the tough times not so bad
helps with the seeming depth of darkness
somehow not so dark
that ray of light at the end
begins to shine within

the internet brings people together
in ways, that boggle the mind
yet we once had pen pals we wrote to
to bring the big world a little closer

sharing stories and simply being real
with that stranger out in the horizon
realizing we are mirrors
shining as a brilliant candle or star
in the darkness of living life

makes us breathe a little easier
knowing someone else understand
or is listening
making the bad times worth living
as we grow closer to our potential
because those words feel like a hug
making the cold world much warmer. ~jh
