"Here on the path I venture down life's highway, not with the fears of a closed mind, but with the dreams of a open mind, a heart filled with memories, and a free spirit filled with hopes for a better tomorrow" (Larry "Dutch" Woller) on the path least traveled..

Hello Diary,

While fine tuning and adjusting to change, I took the time to browse the world, to gather knowledge of what were transpiring… to my dismay I find elements of today's world societies filled with closed minded prejudice to those who seem different and simply trying to follow their dream, and rather than working together with wisdom and understanding, choose violence and conflict to settle differences and disputes...accomplishing little other than sowing the seeds of suffering, anger, fear…

May not make headlines or the news but by using today's technology, there is much we can do and what we do may seem small at first glance, but "I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples." ( Mother Teresa) … and there may be times when we feel like we are doing it alone, but as one, with love, understanding and patience, we can work together to make a difference and the world a better place for everyone.. "We may not have it all together but together we have it all" (Author Unknown)…

And hopefully in time everyone can have a garden like mine where they can be who they are, who they wish to be and follow their dreams without fear.. )

A garden of peace and harmony  Being different does not matter here,  All creatures, big and small, living together  Unlike the other world,  they do not live in fear.    Where one is free to boldly walk the lands, both far and near  To live one's life without suffering or fear,  Not to be accepted by belief, gender or race, you see  But by the love, understanding and knowledge of a spirit born free.    Where children could follow their own dream, you see  Not to be denied by another's ideology,  To follow the destiny of their own choice  Not to be hindered by another's voice.    Together we live the hand that Fate has dealt us  Not sure of, or dwell, on our final destiny,  But live to enjoy the moment, the hour, the day  That is what life is about, don't you see.    So into the not so secret garden I will venture  Along the path least traveled,   To find and know love, understanding, to follow one's dreams  Unlike the other  world unraveled.                         (Larry "Dutch" Woller  )

And though life may appear dark and filled with challenges today, we have hope for there is always tomorrow... "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all." (Emily Dickinson)…        Hope is a feather floating in a bright blue sky  Hope is that sparkle that shines in your eyes.  Hope is a butterfly fluttering on the wind  Hope is good times spent with family and friends.    Hope is a newborn baby's cry  Hope is a Mother's lullaby.  Hope is the rainbow after a rain  Hope is the harvest of golden grain.    Hope is the light that keeps darkness at bay  Hope is the breeze on a hot summer day.  Hope is ever present and free of cost  Hope is the last thing ever lost.    Hope is staying positive when the going gets tough  Hope is seeking help when you feel you've had enough.  Hope is recovery from simmering sorrow  Hope is believing in a brighter tomorrow.                      (Linda Hotger)

Well, I had better close for now, folks to visit and much to be done… "A home that is built with patience, understanding and love will withstand the strongest winds of  difficulties and conflict , a home built with a closed mind, insincerity or haste will collapse in a mere  breeze of discontent."   (Larry "Dutch" Woller ) but I shall return one day, Fate be willin' and the creeks don't rise…      Hope your path is paved with love and peace and until we meet again…    May flowers always line your path   and sunshine light your way,  May songbirds serenade your  every step along the way,  May a rainbow run beside you  in a sky that's always blue,  And may happiness fill your heart  each day your whole life through.  May the sun shine all day long  Everything go right, nothing go wrong  May those you love bring love back to you  And may all the wishes you wish come true                     (Irish Saying)
