And that is exactly what we are fighting for here in Ukraine, Patricia....our freedom, everyone's freedom. I saw for myself the ruins of a technical college here in Kyiv. Hit directly by a missile strike. Unfortunately, as long as Man wants power and wealth and holds hidden grudges against his fellows, no learning, peace and art will be taught. It's sad days, not just solely for my country and people, but for all humanity. Your words are wise and yet not understood by the tyrannical fools of this world. ❤

I have been touched deeply by what has happened in your Country... the innocent... babies and children... beautiful people with talents in many venues. My Heart is broken. I cannot fathom how anyone could destroy even Art or Science for Power. Do they not know that they also will lose their gift of Life. These Tyrants do not care about Humanity. We in our Country and other Countries "Cling" to the Beauty of Nature and Music... the gifted Singers and Musicians... the Artists and Philosophers that feel the Soul of Humanity. The most Precious of all is the Spirit of Mankind-- unfortunately we live in a World of Good and Evil. However, our Holy Spirit will never be destroyed. Our Prayers are constantly ascending for You and your Fellow men and women as well as the young and old. We are an ordinary family with struggles and Cares with health problems along with Aging. We are heart-broken that you are suffering... do not feel alone. tenderly, Pat
I always wonder how far we would be in progress and advancement had we invested all the wealth used to wage wars with one another into art, science and technology. Your words resonate so deeply with me, dear Pat. We need a world of countries with bright honor and golden achievements. And ofcourse Nature nurtured....
hi patricia,
your first 2 ines says it all. my sentiments entirely.
love your poems
cheerio carola

It seems surreal that Countries cannot concentrate on their own resources... instead of starting a "Killing War" with another Country. It is so sad to know that Innocent people and children are suffering. Hope your days are pleasant... leading into Summer. tenderly, Pat
It is such a simple thing. That no matter how we try we cannot get right.

I could agree except for the emphasis on sports. Sports seems to revolve more around competition than the benefits of physical exercise in my opinion. But I believe physical exercise is somewhat important. My primary emphasis on teaching my children has been literature and comprehension, mathematics, history and world cultures. I do think every child should experience cultures other than their own and learn at least one language other than their native tongue. We just finished studying the Cofan rainforest tribe of Ecuador and listening to their Chief, Randy Borman, who is the son of American missionaries and talking about how this man bridges the two cultures. We learned about the destruction of rainforest lands by oil companies and why it is so important; for example, there are more species of plant and animal life on one acre of rainforest land than there are on all of the continental United States and Canada combined. That's a fact worth sharing. I enjoyed the read and I greatly agree on promoting peace and harmony on our earth and in nature. Bless. F.

My Son Robert read old bound Poem Books as soon as he learned to Read well enough in School. He loves Nature and hiking in the Mountains. He has two daughters that love Nature and People, as well as all the Cultures to explore. My daughter has a daughter who loves girls Softball and it is great exercise for her. So many things to learn and explore... Art and Music and so forth. Lovely to see the Spring blossoms on Trees. Be blessed... Pat

I used to walk 40 miles and think nothing of it. I've hiked plenty of mountains including Mt. Mitchell and Chestnut Knob here in NC plus miles of the Appalachian Trail. What great times those were! Oh yes, sports that involves family or community or school is quite different than the professional sort. I think swimming has always been a personal favorite as well. I like going out in the ocean which my wife is terrified of. My oldest was director of a missionary school in South Africa where she spent about four years. She speaks fluent Afrikaans. I'm loving this warmer weather too and my aching bones and joints appreciate it as well. At least I'm still here to enjoy it. Bless, F.

Sadly, I'm afraid it will still be here long after I'm gone. But I will speak and write of love as much as I can while I am here, Perhaps it will start a movement or a revolution of kindness...wouldn't that be wonderful? Bless you Pat.

It’s a shame war is a lesson we never seem to learn not to repeat because our tiny brains can’t find another way even in these times of advancements. Freedom is worth the price but it’s a shame we have to fight

We must fight for freedom to build and nurture...
Would that all people understand and wanted that! Man, it seems, is inherently selfish to a point of evil stupidity. It is said that of all creatures, only Man has the power to create and destroy.
Wise words. Serene beauty.
