there is a dream catcher in my window
a very simple net that catches the
harmful thoughts as they try to get into my house.
it is a simple construction
ring, leather, feathers.
It has no magic that I can tell
but hangs there as a reminder
that some discouragement CAN be filtered out
some nasty, harmful things can be deleted like spam email.
I need to weave my own filter today to catch my
negative thoughts, before they contaminate what will
be a wonderful, sunny and productive day.
Ill build with the ring of family, surrounding me, complete.
I'll tie a net of caring friends, and folks who love the work I do.
the knots are kind words, hugs, friendly gestures.
The leather is the plushness of my own dear children
wound around, colorful and strong.
The feathers are the acts of God
miracles of hope and healing.
Through this no harm can come to me
I am secure, whole and complete.

- I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us. My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years. I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask. Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

I hope those thoughts work and bring peace to your heart and happiness to your day. ((((((Big Hugs)))))) my friend.
David, you are so thoughtful and introspective that it sometimes takes me by surprise. This was beautiful and I wish you a lovely day.
Also, my twin Dotty, as of today, resides in your state. Sacramento. So y'all take care of her out there, won't you? ;-)
**hugs**
Je vous manquerai, merci pour vous le temps bref d'amour que nous avons partagés.
I shall miss you.
