DREAMS LEFT BEHIND
Burning bridges.
Building houses.
Squashing fires.
Taking time to love.
Hoping to learn to laugh.
There is no time,
Not enough space,
For all the dreams,
Left behind.
More than was dreamed of.
More than could be thought.
Comin' up!
What is now, is what we now got...
A song or poem,
A way to go,
And enough dreams
To leave a bunch 'come true
To be left behind!
Love,
Karla

Happy Birthday poem for Jess Bucktel
BELIEF
Let the seed grow!
Let her grow on her own!
Once she is planted,
Watered and fed,
Light does its job.
She'll find a purpose;
Going forth as she's led.
Let the seed grow!
Let that plant be!
The seed of love;
A growth to set us free.
We are the choices that we make.
Ground to break! Ground to break.
Best wishes and love,
Karla

PREPARATION FOR PENTECOST!!! 2019
PASS OVER
(Written on
Sunday, May 28, 2017)
It is said,
¨no one is a prophet in his own family or own country¨!
Shall we
leave it at that?
How to
resolve issues with those who are nearest?
Exceptions
exist.
¨Do not
throw beautiful pearls at dirty pigs¨;
¨Those who
leave all will discover more by one hundred percent¨.
A
passionate fire burns not to be consumed!
Making a
change in life, not being what was expected…
Facing old
age,
Keep exercising;
add vegetables, spices like thyme and sage,
With more
realistic goals,
Taking each
step as it goes;
No longer
searching for answers from the stars.
It´s here
beside us, at our feet, all around,
Right here
on the ground!
Contemplating
silence in the dark night.
Waking to
walk on and plead for love and thankfulness,
Tender
mercies!
Fortitude
not so much in great strength,
But in
recognizing weaknesses.

An Easter-Thanksgiving letter for 2019!!!
An Easter
Turkey
It is
closer to Easter than to Thanksgiving yet the other day, John sent me a picture
of a live turkey that showed up outside his window at work in Boston. He laughed about it. It inspired me to write the following ¨prose
poem¨! I finished the second part after
a telephone conversation with one of my sisters in which she mentioned the
treatments ¨Mindfulness¨ and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She says, ¨The best scientific evidence
available shows these are the best treatments currently available¨.
As an early
Thanksgiving,
I got a
song of Thanks held deep within.
Wanna let
it go.
Let it be. Let it show!
You´ve got
good seeds in your heart and soul.
The time
has come to let it grow.
¨What if God were one of us¨
I want to
thank you all for being there when I was in great need
And for
your support although sometimes not perceived fully.
I always
felt deeply inside that we were pulling forward for one another as a family,
As sisters
and brothers, friends and relatives.
There is
much to be said.
Much to be
simply understood.
Much to be
accepted as it is.
It is my
hope that a bond can develop between the contemplation and rejoicing of
Eastertime and the satisfaction and fulfillment of Thanksgiving.
Conversion
brings forth the fertilizer and care that prepares us to grow.
New
therapies, medicines and techniques will help to make a positive conversion
possible!
I hope you
all remember fondly past Easters, past Thanksgivings and that you all have a
truly beautiful, pleasant and joyful Easter and Thanksgiving this year!
And as an
added note the following comes from my writings on January 13, 2019:
Mirrored
Couplet
Besides
having a place in which to develop, a body needs to define each entities´
skills, gifts and ¨dons¨. A detailed
definition of each individual´s abilities helps all grow as a whole and be able
to function better. And introspective
analysis helps to see weaknesses or points to be improved. Feedback is also important.
The
spiritual body has a place occupied principally in thoughts. Time for a body is regulated by a conductor
and felt and exercised one to another. A
tempo. In relationship! When we meditate, pray, do spiritual exercises
and other elevated activities it puts us in time and in tune with the
environment and other beings. It helps conduct the positive energy. This is why
good positive music is so important, useful and necessary. Music is in everything and the proper music
always makes for better union and wellbeing.
Thoughts produce a musical tone also.
It inspires and elevates, brings about good vibrations and communicates
in a deep and intimate way, even when we don´t understand all of the lyrics. The
spirit expertly delegates impulses and emanates energy, knowledge and wellbeing
to make favorable conditions the best and help produce harmony. The Spirit comes from within and is a
natural force that finds its own conduction through inner knowledge in good
will and positive thoughts. It then
takes form in a physical place. My place
is Amor. Your´s is Roma. Like a mirror, we see more clearly face to
face.
Thank you!
I thank you
for being there in some place and for hearing me!
Who sees:
LO VE!!!

Two short poems to start the New Year!
NEVADA (15 diciembre, 2018)
Las hojas vuelan
Como plumas
De pájaro,
Soltándose en la brisa,y cayéndose.
Son poesías, Canciones,
En los interiores de los necesitados,
Cubriéndolo todo
En pureza y en un arco iris de blanco.
Por: Karla
COUPLETS (December 29, 2018)
Poetry
comes out of this:
Quiet
moments,
A little
loneliness.
Much contemplation.
A feeling
of wellbeing,
Having
wished for the best,
And with
much prayer for
everyone.
Songs come
from another
place…
Straight
from the heart.
There is a
fine line
Between
poetry and song.
When one
becomes the other,
They are
like you and me,
Couplets.
Yet
distinct entities,
Filling
loneliness in a special way.
We are
different,
Yet become
complements.

Without Guilt! Without Excuses!
NEW YEAR
RESOLUTION
(December
27, 2018)
THE
PROMISES OF CHRISTMAS!
¨The Greatest
Love of All¨ (popular song)
After
expecting a promised Christmas conversion of mankind most of my life, I found a
major breakthrough today!
It wasn´t
me! Of course I had nothing to do with
it! It was my daughter. She had been supporting her feelings and
pressures lately and had been letting off a little steam, but today,
symbolically during Christmas time, she blew up and made an exceptional speech. She had a very firm and serious talk with her
father, and let him know things had to change!
As the daughter, she has an important position and she told him she
could not tolerate his aggressive attitudes anymore, specifically towards her
mother (me). You will have to imagine
the details of this and the steps that lead up to this (He has had many
pressures and problems lately, family illnesses and such), but what is
necessary to know is that there is a major pivoting point gyrating towards better
treatment and reconciliations within the whirlwinds of disasters. I could have prayed, fussed and complained,
done anything all to little avail, yet it only took a few magic words from the
indicated person to turn things around!
My
resolution for 2019 is to facilitate the process, to recognize my own
debilities, errors and emissions (which I also have), and while I don´t allow
mistreatment, I need to help contribute to solutions, not make more problems or
aggressions. And to keep believing
that through love, comprehensions and diplomacy we can make it happen! And at
the same time ¨Let it be¨! ¨IT¨!!! ¨THE GREATEST LOVE¨!!!
The little
girls, the small children are the best experts!
Older people get set in their ways, while youth and the young at heart
hold much promise. We must hear their
laughter! We must extract laughter from
them! We must listen to them!
Despite all
of our faults and also because of our good points, we brought our daughter up
with love, much love. Now she is an
adult with a great capacity to help reconcile difficult matters for all of us
in our circle of family and friends.
What a Blessing!
The big
question these days for many and I believe the root of society´s problems is
¨What do women expect from men¨?
Considering
this, it seems reasonable to expect that a good, respectful, loving treatment
should be made by all-each unto another.
Just as a person treats well another, so they should be treated well.
Actually,
we have been praying and working towards a better way of life for a long, long
time (at least I have turned my head inside out over this matter! Happily, now I want to announce a major
breakthrough and opening of a door of Faith!
May 2019 be
a year of Blessings! 2020 a year of
preparation for a celebration and 2021 (as you know) is the year to celebrate
100 years of the creation of the LEGION OF MARY!!! You should know that I am busy preparing
songs to sing to celebrate in spite of all the problems that must be faced and
cannot be ignored!
Animo!
Blessings to you! Go for it! Let it Be!
