    Talking about I WHERE IS SANJANA GONE?

     

     

    Where is my precious Sanjana? It is two months gone from the computer, that is a very long time.......

    here is poem from her spirit.............

     
     

    I !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I fear my creativity

    For it compels me explore the unknown

     

    I fear my dreams

    For they make me question my comfort

     

    I fear my heart

    For it shows no reason when it comes to loving

     

    I fear my faith

    For it narrows my vision

     

    I fear my beliefs

    Because they make me conform

     

    I fear my knowledge

    For it makes me slow to change….

     

    I fear my mind

    Coz it makes me question my every move

     

    I fear not anyone, nor anything

    I fear just myself.

     

    I, is someone I can’t put aside

    I, I have to see every day in the mirror

    I, is always watching me

    I, is there looking at me each time I make a wrong move

    I, tells me I am wrong, before anyone else can

    I, keeps me awake when I have silenced other voices of dissent.

    I, keeps me knock, knocking on heavens door

     

    I cant get away from I.

    I is what makes me, me.

    And yet I try to get away from I

    Each day in every way possible I try hard not to listen to I

    I fear that if I listen to I , I will have to take responsibility for all my actions

    Its easier to pass the buck, and blame my fortune

     

    I have to find the courage to believe in I

    I is what will get me past all my struggles

    If only I would listen to I, I wouldn’t be looking for answers

    I wouldn’t be here trying to figure me……………………………

    Each of us is our best judge. Each of us our best guide. If we look hard enough and long enough we will find that the answers are all there right there within us.

    bEAUTY COMES TO ME FROM MY FRIEND KAT... SO I SHARE

    Subject: A special gift for you...Enjoy

     

     

    As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

    Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

    i AM ATTACHING PHOTOS OF MY PRIVATE FUNERAL FOR jIM.... MY EX~HUSBAND AND SOMEONE WHO ROCKED MY WORLD...............A DEATH IS SO FINAL.  AND A MOMENT SO REAL!       i HAD 6 WEEKS OF ETERNAL LIFE WITH THIS MAN.

    SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTOOD MY BELIEFS AND HOW I FELT AND WHAT LIFE IS.....

        IT WAS HIS MIND THAT I LOVED SO SO MUCH.    BUT I AM STILL THE SAME,  ONE.

    2/28/2007

    All is going great so do not fret, and check out Ron's space

    all is going well I am tired , but so so so happy..............
    I am going to take a sleep.  But had to let you all know progress is going rapidly.
    He may be able to talk in 3 to 5 days........  He is my precious you know.....
    I love how much you cared and still do.
    Here is something of interest from Ron of Moroccan Dreams ( he  is pretty special kinda guy full of heart and soul, and a bit of magic)
    A Global Unity Project
    sponsored by
    The Little Book of Man
    and
    "MOROCCAN DREAMS"


    THE IDEA
    Once Upon a Time on Planet Earth there was an event so big that it changed the course of humankind. An event that shook the Earth to its very core. It is an event we are destined to see again if we do not change the course of world affairs.

    WHAT WAS THIS EVENT? Can you guess? The details of this event are well known and will be revealed at a later date.

    The idea is to get people from all over the globe to participate in a single project to photograph their part of the world on August 6 at exactly 8:15am .........(the exact time and date of this historic world altering event). The project will be limited to 200 participants. For more details on this project contact me at littlebookofman@hotmail.com include your full name, the country you represent, and what you think this WORLD ALTERING EVENT was. Remember, the date is AUGUST 6 at 8:15am.

    The photographs taken on this exact day and time will be used to create an Online Exhibition to commemorate this WORLD ALTERING EVENT. It is my hope that this can become an annual event with participants from around the world.

    I AM ALSO ASKING THAT MY MSN SPACES FRIENDS REPOST THIS ANNOUNCEMENT ON THEIR WEB PAGES....And ask your space readers to do the same. The more we spread the word, the more successful this project will be.

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION! KEEP THE PEACE!
     
    good night my friends I am off to neverland in my dreams, the white
    capped mountains of sunny california just outside my window....
    ONE THE SAME.....REMEMBER.   LINDA

    It was all the prayers that saved him I am certain

    yes jump for joy and dance around, I am on top of the world!
    he can sgueeze my hand now and was awake all day
    he can nod for yes and shake head for no.
    he seems so allert, watching everything the nurses do to him
    he is responding like the paul I know.  he does not seem drugged up
    he is "all " there.  in time the tube will come out of his throat and then
    he can talk.  time and rest now is what he needs.  I left because I thought
    he should get some sleep.   he is breathing on his own not the machine
    and his bloodpressure and heart rate and breathing is all calm.
    it is a great miracle!  the prayers .... I know that is what did it.
    the power of the human person is so big..........
    thanks you a thousand times for healing my husband with me.
    all my love Linda.  I made spagetti and going to rest now.

    MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

    Last night when I thought I saw pauls toe move I was not crazy.
    today he is so much better.... had the meeting with all the doctors this morning
    and they said instead of discussing his probible death, that now he is
    suddenly responding.  He is breathing on his own, blood pressure is ok
    all the poison is out of his body, the anti biotics they will give to him for 14 days
    his peeing is suppose to recover in one to two weeks.
    he nodded his head for yes,  I told him to look at his doggies picture on the
    wall and he did, his mother said can you move your toes and he did.
    the doctors are all happy for us,  still he is seriously ill but he is on the road
    to recovery now.  thank you all for your prayers and support.
    I knew always with my heart he would make it.
    they still do not know how much he knows, but I think he knows.
    I left while they are changing his bedding and cleaning him up.
    he does have a blood clot in his leg, they are giving blood thinner and
    can exray that from his bed so that is good.
    they doing ultra sounds of his heart each day now.
    the rash they said is from the penicilian they gave him which we told them he
    was allergic too.... but a dermotaligist took a scapping and will prescripe
    an ointment for that.... you can not know the joy I am in today.
    all my love Linda

    Hello Sanjana...........my sweetie pie!

    Hello Sanjana .... thanks for all the advise . I will have salmon and broccilli tonight.....I will eat good, just smaller portions get this gut to go down.   the  C 6  vertabrea I only have 25% use of  the nerve is closed off or pinched.  they have given me opium and morphine mixture patch to wear... I am not waking up so  much in pain during the night.  that is great, I also have vicodins and somma a muscle relaxer and nerontin for nerve damage and motrin for anti inflamitory......
     
    the diet is because the C 8 vertabra is the other one I have problem but that is connected somehow with your back and my right hand but it is not so damaged they say... but heck I know when my right hand and arm are bad!  so I must be careful of the right side problem and get this weight off or I will start to have back problems next the doctor says.
     
    the weather has changed, is cooler
    I think they said tuesday rain?
     
    I went to the grocery store today!
    see I even get out of the house.
    I got some movies to watch .... and my hubby and room mate are just relaxing.   they played the band here last night for awhile then they went to the bar and did kareoke singing, at 2am my hubby wanted me to go for a walk along the ocean trails... but I said no.  He took our dog.  bummer because how romantic and I could not go because too drugged up. Oh well there will be more days.........much love to you sanjana........and to my other friends have a good weekend.  bye now.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN AND MANY MORE....

    i LOVE THIS MAN!
    LET US SAIL AWAY OVER THE RAINBOW.....AND SEE THE WORLD IN PEACE.
    Photobucket - Video and Image HostingAND THANKS TO SASSY FOR HER WONDERFUL
    GRAPHIC ABILITIES, i THINK JER HAD A HAND IN THIS TOO....AND THANKS TO HOPE!
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TO STEPHEN, STEVE,GONZO......
     
    Photobucket - Video and Image HostingTWO TWO! YOU CAN NOT HAVE ENOUGH OF HIM!
     
     
     
     
    Linda Original Hippie
    to all of you thank you , your thoughts are not taken invain.......
     
    I do read what you say.....I think on each word.
     
    BIG HUGS FROM ME ...
     
    I AM learning to live the pain.... there are ways to trick it, to sooth it....
     
    to wait it out, and to keep moving because standing still you loose the use of
     
    the parts of the body.  It is better to try than not......
     
    Some people I speak inperson face to face, they turn away
     
    they turn to the sunshine not the weak and they fear the P A I N
     
    P A I N is real.
     
    I spoke to someone, a man who has been to war
     
    he explained to me what the word " anything" really means.......
     
    you love your country but you hate the government.....and when you
     
    want to live you think of self and do anything....
     
    the ones that think of country fall to the way side.
     
    That is what the word ' ANYTHING'  means.
     
    So, I ponder anything......       anything?
     
    GOODNIGHT NOW
    LOL

    Talking about Princess Haiku

     I am back.... everything fine... I read all your letters.  Will respond tomorrow today my son is here from kentucky for just the day.... so I am very happy.  thank you for all writing.... each one so different and yet one the same, cause we are ONE.  I can not say how much I love you.  Please have great day and is pleasure to meet you all on computer. Adam I go but have this space still... I will not go completely, too many I love are here.  Bi polar computer land here I come....

     today is the 5th... I play catch up with you on this computer all weekend... or most of it.  I had fun,  my precious mazi, I am sorry I did not make it her way...

    she is like a two day project,  I think I save her for next weekend... so sorry

    mazi, if I was not so sick, I would be there because I must find out ALL you have to say is so important, to me to the world....if anyone reads this , please tell mazi I left today very sick and in pain.... I just could do no more here in space land.

    I do plan to go too blog spot to write eventually also.... I hear it is more simple

    and I must be also with princess and moon.... but I will stay here.  Please everyone, I hope you stop spreading out so far... far from each other... try blogspot if you thinking of going somewhere else.  Let us stay togather if possible.

    This morning I wake up after a poor poor night.... I had pains , in new places my lower back and legs also... I am a reck!  hehehe  but I have learned that love and fun does do help with pain.  When the fear of operation gone, that also then I feel some better.... Please write to me, is more easy for me to read than is to write... but yet I continue... I have so much to say.  My son he talks into something that prints the message... I may need to find out where to get one of those...

    I will miss you.  I love all of you so so so very much.  Spread smiles and laughter and love for me also please.  be back soon after hospital tests.

    Princess Haiku's Farewell Tour

    "It's Time to Say Goodby"
     
    Princess Haiku is relocating to
     
     
     
     
    Dear Spaces Friends,
     
    The recent changes on MSN have made it apparent that it is finally time for me to relocate to a new blogspace that is more dependable and secure. I am saddened and disappointed that MSN expects us all to be free advertising for their consumer products. I am not willing to do that and hope that many of you will reconsider your " virtual digs" and check out blogspot.
     
    For the last eight months I have been delighted to become acquainted with all of you. My concept of friendship has grown as far as the perimeters of the globe and encompassed many countries and cultures. I have been inspired, touched, educated and  become more aware of the political and cultural issues facing all of us.  I am also leaving my special blessings for the safety of dear friends who are in danger, even as I write this.
     
    If I have learned one thing during my time here on Spaces, it is that people can choose PEACE. As citizens of the world, we have what it takes to start learning to live together in interpersonal and ecological harmony. We must not let the corrupt and extremists among us dictate how our planet will be run. Thanks to all of you for helping me continue to believe in the basic goodness of people.
     
    I will be making a "farewell tour," and stopping by to say goodby to each of you personally.  This is my last post on Spaces and it will take me a few days to reestablish myself on blogspot again. I hope to see you there.
     
    May the goodness that lies in the hearts of all of us prevail against the forces of darkness.
     
    Forever,
    Your Princess Haiku
    Elise

    August 23--Happy Birthday to my Mom!

     

    Below is another archive, forgive me for that, but I'm getting ready for my trip with my brothers. Oh, Good Man will stay here on the mountain and he says, "I'll miss you!!!" But I wonder if he'll be also thinking, "Oh! It's so quiet!" without my insanity *HAHA!* So, not so much longer before I leave, just days really, and am trying to catch up on writing, and as well, things around here. And today! Good Man's Birthday! *smile*

    There is something about pain that can seemingly purify thoughts. Seemingly. For if you reach a level of pain, it sharpens the senses. One can't know if the sharpened senses are real, or surreal, or ultrareal...one only knows that the world takes on a reddened hue. I am speaking of physical pain, for when you have emotional pain, the senses seem to become sluggish and the haze is yellow or hazy brownish blackish brackish, or bright white hospital lights glaring behind the eyes. With physical pain, I have lifted from my body and hovered above and watched my weakness with disdain. I have dreamed without sleeping, and wached the Shadow Man stare at me as I lay floating in a sea of nerve endings glowing red. I have tossed about words and truths and lies and wondered if and when I could write about them-shouldn't I just get up from the bed or couch and relate all my genius? For, I pretend I am a genius sometimes-a brilliant mind trapped in a silly human body. But when morning comes, and the pain abates with final sleep and perhaps a few doses of prescribed pain numb'ers-I revert to plain me-writer of words, seeker of the soul of you. Yes, I said seeker of the soul of You. Because, though I seem reclusive, though I stay inside my log house cave more than I venture out, I am hovering around you, reading the aura that surrounds You. My eyes flick over you or your words or your images, and I seem to dismiss, but I do not. For what I "See" is filed away, deep inside of me, in this spot I use just for You. And when I am most unaware, You come back, and out from my fingertips You fly, and there You are, a character acting out beauty in a story or paragraph or phrase or sentence or word.

     

    Pain can make one feel as if they are unique. As if everyone else is nubile as a deer leaping across the field towards something she sees in the distance-a bit of corn, or maybe a dew-filled flower, or to her special hiding place. In the night hours, when all is dark, and as last night when the rain fell hard -droplets pounding the roof in a fury, I did not pity the part of me that demanded attention to the fiery parts racing down my spine and legs. No, for isn't there You-the one who knows the true meaning of Pain? Yes, I think of You, and my pain grows small, even in it's frustratingly bad parts, even as I toss and turn and wish it would just stop so I won't have to take more of the white pill. Does white pill alter me? Does it change my writing? Does it make me stupid? Does it hide what could be brilliance? I know what brilliance is, my friends, for I place You on my website, you of the brilliant images and words.

     

    One night, I woke and Pain said, "Hello, sorry to offend you, truly I don't wish to be here anymore than you wish me to. I would rather be called something else at times, just as you do. Do you think it's easy being hated and feared? I do my job and that is what I do, so, pardon me while I zip through you for a while, doing my job, being what I need to be." I answered, "Do your worst! I am strong! But while you are here, Pain, while you are zapping electrical currents, can you open a portal so that I can "see" beyond?" And Pain said, "The portal is open, but I am not responsible for it all." And even as I write all of that I just wrote, I think, what manner of woman are you? Gone insane with your own wonderings?

     

    Last night, as the rain thundered, I thought about how one day I would be a very old woman. And how I'd walk crooked to the coffee pot, pour a cup, holding the cup with trembly hands, and then, from there, I'd shuffle to the porch, carefully sit in my rocker, pull a throw over my knees, and rock rock rock rock and think about the days when I was young and leaping to the dew filled flower. I would rock rock and remember all my yesterdays. And I would drink every bit of my strong black coffee and think, "Today I will write, and then I will rock some more, and then I will read, and then I will rock some more." And, that made me smile. I hope that happens-I hope I have that gift of growing to be a very old woman.

     

    And in the dark, I smiled, and I lay there, and I felt Pain, but I didn't care. Who guarantees this life is supposed to be pain-free? I can imagine I was once this being of light in the heavens, and as I looked down, I said, "I want to visit the earth as a human." And, some greater being of greater light said, "So it shall be, but, how do you want to live?" And I, being fearless said, "I don't care, I just want to live on the earth for a time." And there I went, shot down to earth, come out squalling and red-faced into the world. And everything that happens I have felt it and every pain physical and emotional and even when I railed against it, the being that was the light where I will return will think, "I felt it all! I was human. I knew things." And it won't seem but a minute that I was here, just a minute. Just a minute. A minute. Minute.

     

    Breathe in the air. Touch someone you love with gentle hand. Enjoy the minute.
