No matter our age, seeing life through the eyes of a child
Who feels worthy of love, offers a riot of laughs
OUR HISTORY EXISTS IN MEMORY
And this is my beloved ...
Love and the miracle of new life
High School Daze
Senior Year Book
Future Teachers of Anerica - College bound
Sisters
And this is my beloved
Blessed with miracles from generation to generation
We are family—cousins
Clean up time—Cookies in the oven—YUM!
The blendship of friendship
Blessed with the miracle of new life in my arms—one more time!
Ain't life grand!
Never a dull (or quiet) moment!
Brotherly love!
Each picture is worth a thousand words of heartfelt delight
Free spirited love leans in naturally
At thirteen it's time for fun and brand new games
At seventy five it's time for surprise parties!
Anytime is time for Disneyland with cousins
Time flies - A college man about town
Pooped out after another rollicking Bar Mitzvah weekend
If it's Sunday morning, it's chocolate chip pancake time
Followed by backyard basketball with Dad
If it's Fall it's Football Mania!
Time flies - And this is my beloved
Never too old to play 'let's pretend' at the drop of a hat!
Costumes aren't even necessary!
But they sure do add to the fun!
Mom and Dad get into the act
A vision of beauty!
A vision of hilarity!
The name of the game is Work Hard, Play Hard
Children who grow up feeling loved, unconditionally, grow to be men, unafraid to lean in ...
Fifty years and this is my beloved
Our trio surprise their Dad on his seventieth with a guys trip to
The Football Hall of Fame
Take me out to the ballgame on my 99th birthday
OUR PRESENT (THOUGH FLEETING) IS NOW
And this is my beloved
A day at the beach with Tony and Ray
Giggles with Papa
We feel blessed as miracles multiply, again ...
Ravi dressed in the outfit her Gramma crocheted forty years ago
So much to feel thankful for
Like father like daughter
So that's how insight works! Two pairs of eyes!
Just Goofying around
Free spirited happiness of children, who feel deeply loved, beams from the inside out
The faces of brotherhood
When life and love shower a child with one delight after another, it shows!
IN HOPES OF ENJOYING A LIFE THAT REMAINS SPIRITUALLY YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME, INSIGHT, CONCERNING CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
SUGGESTS THAT WE EACH MUSTER THE COURAGE TO EXPOSE
SUBCONSCIOUS POCKETS OF NEGATIVITY FOR THIS REASON:
YOUR FUTURE WAITS TO BE WRITTEN, AS IS TRUE OF MINE ...
Here is Barry's favorite photo of his parents, which
He copied and framed for each person in our family
Once we grow up, some things are in need of change for the better
While other things (like not growing too old to free your spirit's
Sense of wholeness from inner conflict by creating a balance between
Every pleasure that life provides) must not change for
The worse, suggesting each person's existential need to consider
The insight-driven validity of these inter-related truths:
A brain that harbors subconscious fear of emotionality may lean
So far toward logic as to miss leaning, openly, toward love
A balanced state of mind (between logic and emotion) provides
Our thought processors with a measure of expansion that's necessary
If intuition is to enter the solution-seeking arena while
The rest of the brain is at rest, suggestive of
The universal validity of this next classic truth—
Balance in all things depends upon learning to quiet your
Take-action think tank by taming the control freak within, who
Standing guard over your brain's tool box, denies
Your smart heart access to rummaging around inside your head until
Your conscious awareness gets a firm grasp on your trusty but
Rusty tweaker, which has been waiting impatiently (thus anxiously) for
You to summon the humility to lift the heavy burden of
Impossible perfection from the shoulders of the deeply perplexed
Over-achieving children we once were so that the 'Human doing', whom
We grew up to be, feels intuitively tweaked to relax just enough
To free our hearts to enjoy every aspect of love that life provides by
Embracing the imperfect 'Human being' whom
Each of us to be, and though imperfect we'll always be, creative thinking
Offers every individual a myriad of ways to conjure up solutions to
Inner conflicts that had seemed impossible to resolve until we gain
The wisdom to walk the path of positivity, which leads hopelessness
To switch tracks toward hopefulness by refocusing
Our stymied think tanks toward not ever saying never ...
Why not? Because the mantra of 'never give up' suggests that we have no clue
As to what brand new, bright idea tomorrow's brainstorming session may bring ...
SINCE YOUR FUTURE AND MINE IS YET TO BE WRITTEN
LET'S REMIND EACH OTHER THAT AT EVERY STAGE OF LIFE
NOTHING SPEAKS AS NATURALLY, SOULFULLY, AND
THUS INTUITIVELY STRAIGHT FROM OUR HEARTS AS
THE UNCONDITIONAL NATURE OF LOVE
LET'S REMIND EACH OTHER THAT AT EVERY STAGE OF LIFE
NOTHING SPEAKS AS NATURALLY, SOULFULLY, AND
THUS INTUITIVELY STRAIGHT FROM OUR HEARTS AS
THE UNCONDITIONAL NATURE OF LOVE
SO MANY STORIES TO TELL ...
(I chose to leave any imperfection you may spy in place)
