Siren Dreams 2020©IsadoraDeLaVega
Dreams are the greatest gift.
They unwrap your future.
Fall in love with life.
Embrace your dreams with passion.
Look beyond where others have been
to see where you will go
One dream can become real
a thousand dreams become possibilities.

Alzheimer was erasing her mother’s life.
Sarah holds the door as her mother shuffles into the club.
Brunch every Sunday after Temple at the Boca Grande Golf and Country club. Father loved golf, a member for years.
A big smile from Cecelia, the hostess, greets us as she escorts us to mothers favorite table. A Mimosa, Mrs. Cohen? Teary-eyed, she remembers past days with Moisha when its placed in front of her.
Your father went far despite Auschwitz, Mother said with a blank gaze. You’re a good girl, Sarah, a good daughter.
At the funeral, Sarah remembered her words.

***** This week our challenge is to edit our previous story with this prompt or create a new on. Due to time restrictions, I’ve added my edited story from April, 2015.
Alone
each thing
is the very essence of simplicity.
A drop of water
with its wondrous transparency.
A strand of a spider’s silk
with its elasticity and strength.
A tiny seed
that holds within it
life.
Simplicity
the manifestation of a miracle.

Don’t forget to glance up from your keyboard
and see how blue the sky is now and then.
Don’t forget to put away your cell phone
and spend time alone with a paintbrush or pen.
Don’t forget to seek the sound of silence
and let the daily traffic rush on by.
Remember that the secret of success is
how happily you climb and not how high.

Take SUMMER when it comes and REJOICE.
Take HAPPINESS when it comes and REJOICE.
Take LOVE when it comes and REJOICE.

Your minds like a sailboat
floating with the wind.
Sailing across the water
of euphoric waves.
Turbulent ocean currents,
at times, control the way.
Negative thoughts,
trapping your days.
But in time, buoyant and carefree
give rise to peaceful signs.
Erasing negative thinking,
as the waves settle down.
Our journey is for serene days,
our hearts ever-yearning for calm.
Soon, we will be sneering at
these turbulent times.

Light
The night has a thousand eyes.
The day but one;
Yet, the light of the bright world dies
with the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet, the light of a whole life dies
when its love is done.

I wish, I wish that I could know
the places I have yet to go,
the ways I’ll change. the things I’ll do,
the special dreams I’ll come to know,
the significant moments,
and thoughts,
I’ll make come true.
I wish, I wish that I could see,
the life that lies ahead of me.

What you do today is important
because you are exchanging
a day in your LIFE for it.
Let it be something good.

🙏Namaste🙏
I honor the place in you
in which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you
which is of Love, and of Truth,
of Light and of Peace.
When you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me.
We are One.
