Wondering Why
I look up at the sky and wonder,
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
Will clouds still be white?
Will the moon shine as bright?
Will there still be birds on the wing?
~
I wonder, will I still be happy
or sad, like so many I see.
It’s so hard to tell
my future as well,
I wonder what I’ll grow up to be?
~
It’s not so much that I worry
It’s more, I think, that I care.
So I look at the sky
Wondering why,
And when… we’ll all learn how to share!

Everyone have a wonderful weekend ahead,

The greatest need of all, after the needs of food, clothing and shelter are satisfied, is to be cherished by someone. To know that in a special someone’s heart we have a home we can count on.
Material goals are perceived as necessary in civilization today. But if that is true, it doesn’t then explain all the divorces, over-eating, over indulging in those very same material goals that obviously aren’t doing the trick, only achieving short term happiness along with a lot of unhappy, unfulfilled, sick and miserable people out there.
Do you cherish someone? Let them know. And let them know you need to be cherished too? Today! It’s important, it matters!
“Truly cherishing and being cherished is at the “heart” of what love is all about.”

And just so you know, I cherish you, “my worldwide friends” more than you can ever imagine. You matter and I don’t forget it – not for a nanosecond!
With love and affection,
~ Penny
I need you!
I need your acceptance!
I need your support for me!
I need your belief in me!
I need your unconditional love!
I need you – right now!

We’re all human, we never stop needing – each other!
Those are words we feel! They are inside each and every one of us on the planet!
If someone say’s they don’t need anyone
they’re the neediest of all.

“Needing is half of life’s perfect equation! Finish the equation – be grateful, care, reach out, and you will discover your needing is fulfilled … by loving and being loved – as it was meant to be!”~Penny L Howe, 2013

There is inside
a place in me,
a place I dare not go
the longing … in the night.
*
He must know of my longing,
buried deep within,
… and my endless, sleepless nights
restless … with desire.
*
There’d been a time he’d ‘known’
reaching out to me,
… Satiating passions need
Conquering with … his will.
*
Now only nights of emptiness
that once were so divine.
Perfection of the night time
… when safe within his arms,
securely loved, a certainty
within … the night time’s hours.
*
All lost except the craving,
the longing … in the night.

You’re in my thoughts – Each and every single one of you!
You aren’t ever alone. We (all living things) need each other
and because we do – we will never be alone!
Have the best week you can have
with the current resources available to you and don’t forget
… even for a second
that we share in life together!
One family living in our home – the planet Earth.
So I say good morning to my family
every single one of you!
And wish for you the best of days today!
All my love!

Are life’s bridges that we build (or that someone has built for us) of the durable kind, or do we take shortcuts in the building of them?
Do we use them and then move on? Be careful, the connections we make with others during our living years are as the ebb and flow of the tides of the ocean, but our personal bridges are an integral part of our living network of communication and support in the real world.
Structural Integrity is a term used to imply the safety and strength of a bridge used for vehicles and people to cross over. Maintaining them makes common sense. The same is true for us.
Is there a structural integrity to your personal life’s bridges? If not, shore them up, make them durable. One never knows when you may pass a certain way again and need a bridge you’d long forgotten and hence discover it is no longer available to you – when you find you need it most.
This video with the song “burning bridges” I picked deliberately. It’s a great movie that does illustrate the stupid insanity of Wars and the leaders who promote them. The words of the song, well they speak for themselves!

If I didn’t care
it’d be okay, I suppose.
If I didn’t care
maybe no one would notice – maybe.
If I didn’t care nothing would really change – after all.
The sun would still rise
The sun would still set
And life would still go on, I suppose.
But I want to care passionately
with all the love my heart is capable of giving.
And I want to care and want people to notice
because I notice them so intensely.
I want to care so much my heart will surely burst
with the caring inside
And when the sun rises, golden beams of light
pierce my heart with gladness
And when the sun sets
with such majesty and beauty
That the myriad of colors
bring tears to my eyes for the joy of it all.
I find I really do,
care!
