    IT TAKES TIME

    by: Trevor Claiborn

    The best things in life don’t come fast or free,

    But sometimes my impatience makes me cheat.

    Though I know I’m wrong, trying to rush things along,

    I get mad when outcomes are incomplete.


    The purpose I serve is much more than my own,

    And Nature’s clock ticks much slower than mine.

    I can gripe and pout or just wait the thing out,

    For the Most High works on It’s own time.


    I can have love, prosperity, and peace

    And all the things that make it joyful to live.

    Sometimes money can’t pay for those treasures—

    Only my patience and willingness to give.


    We are all farmers of the crops of our destiny,

    Semi-conscious of the psychological seeds we sow.

    So to yield the best return, we must learn

    To give things time and let them grow.

    Spring is here and so are the butterflies! This week I have a gallery of a particular group of butterflies called Brushfoots. Brushfoots are the most commonly known and encountered of the large colorful butterflies (excluding the swallowtails) found in Florida and the Americas. These include the monarchs, fritillaries, buckeyes, and the viceroy below (who has nearly identical markings as the toxic monarch butterfly) to keep it from being eaten by birds.... cool trick, huh? :-)

    Click the butterfly below to see my gallery - and please let me know what you think!



    Thanks for looking!

    THE HOPE OF TOMMORROW
    BY: TREVOR CLAIBORN


    I can’t take back what I’ve done in the past
    Nor can I retaliate on all that’s been done to me,
    At best I can learn from experiences I’ve had
    Shake the chains of regret and be free,

    The future has its own set of tests and trials
    So why dwell upon yesterdays woes,
    My road only changes if I’m willing to change it
    The door of opportunity is never closed.


    I must free up my psychological arms
    To make space for better things to come
    I should dispose of the junk from the past
    And seek the source where all natural treasures come from.


    We are the wardens of the prison in our minds
    Condemned by guilt, regret and sorrow,
    But I stay at peace, when I learn to release-
    Yesterday, and appreciate the hope of tomorrow!

    The phenomenon is tunable in that
    the characteristic sounds and
    intensities of those sounds depend
    on the characteristics of the RF
    energy as delivered... Because the
    frequency of the sound heard is
    dependent on the pulse
    characteristics of the RF
    energy, it seems possible that
    this technology could be developed
    to the point where words could be
    transmitted to be heard like the
    spoken word, except that it could
    only be heard within a person..s
    head.
    In one experiment,
    communication of the words from
    one to ten using ..speech
    modulated.. microwave energy was
    successfully demonstrated.

    Microphones next to the person
    experiencing the voice could
    not pick up these sounds

    Namaste. I am blessed to be your friend.

    May you bless the world rather than curse the world...
    for love heals a heart & light overcomes darkness.

    REMEMBER YOUR OWN HOLINESS, feel it in your heart,
    then share that joy/peace with all you meet.

    GOD IS IN THE SHARING.
    Love, Lalita
