HAPPY ALOHA FRIDAY EVERYONE!!
Here is part iii of Poems to My Peace.
III.
I joy to look at her
but my eyes are too habit-bound
to see her as she is.
I see her with my fingertips,
and touch her with my eyes.
My heart leaps up
inside my chest
eager for the warmth
of her sweet, moist breath.
Then she comes to me, and
even before I speak her name,
she knows my needs
and makes me whole.
In silence we share
the simple secrets of our soul.
I turn to say I love her
and as she blushes
her eyes deepen into shadows
that dwarf my dreams.
Peace is more easily identified by doing the opposite of what The World professes as the way to get things done. I find Peace more easily when I do not search using worldly ways. I am filled with Joy when I anticipate reunion with Peace. When that unity occurs, I realize I have (again) found that Peace that surpasses all Understanding, and that is a very fulfilling state. In fact, it is actually, truly, factually awesome, astounding, humbling, awe-inspiring, splendid, breath-taking, utterly remarkable, elegant, and overwhelming all at once. When that Peace descends into my being, I become a mere speck in the eye of the cosmos, but a speck that is blessed to receive the loving gift of peace and the peaceful gift of love.
Peace be with YOU Beloved!

William will be with us just a few days longer. It is been an interesting Odyssey for all three of us. He is eager to see his “mommy and daddy and Charles and Sissy” again. For Maria, his mom, this has been a difficult trial; it’s the first time they’ve ever been truly separated, and it’s been a long separation – about five weeks altogether.
Tim seems to be cranking along well enough. Whenever we speak with him he seems very UP and declares things are going well.
Crucita will be returning to her duties as SpEd Department Head around July 23. This will be the year that puts her in line for tenure, so we’re hoping it will be relatively calm.
The kittens have not quite adjusted to having a 4 y.o. in the house, so I suspect that if they could read calendars, they would be looking forward to July 19!
Haven’t heard from you in a while, so if you get a chance, drop a line and fill me in.
See you in the MOON!
