When my twins fight with each other I tell them to stop.
Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.
For awhile anyway.
When it gets to be too much,
I send one upstairs and keep the other downstairs.
They hate this because quite frankly,
They love to fight!
One will try to sneak upstairs or the other will try to convince me,
that they should be allowed to go freeAfter awhile,
Maybe a day..........a week...........
They start fighting again!
My children do not hate each other,
Their fighting is a hobby.
I believe though that the situation is the same as the one in the middle east.
Just like my Kids they seem to like to fight.
They stop for a day.....a week..........
Then they start killing each other again,
Tit for tat,
an eye for an eye ect...
We need to seperate them,
Draw a line,
Make one of them stay upstairs,
Do not talk about it with them for they will never agree,
Hamas's stated goal is ,
No Jew on Arab soil,
If they won't leave then they will kill them,
Every single Man...Woman....and child.
How could you possibly negotiate from that position?
You cannot.
The world needs to be the parents here,
and seperate them, build a wall in the middle,
and keep them seperated,
For in a day.....a week.......a month.......a year.......
They will fight again.

must see

The bench


A bird sings in the distance,
There is buzzing of insects on the breeze,
I see the bench, just up there aways,
I look around to see,
If anyone is near,
No One!,
I sit,
Nothing,
No one,
Peace,
A perfect place, a perfect seat,
A perfect day.

What I will do this week


Forgive quickly,

Live bravely,

Listen carefully,

Love generously.


To the best of my ability.
What will you do this week?

A wonderful day to play,
in sunshine and happiness,
Impending rain not withstanding,
We play in the sun as if it would last forever!

Monsters on T.V.

my son is sleeping on the couch in front of me.
He was scared of the monsters under his bed.
Those monsters are very real to him,
Tangible dangers,
uncontrolable and overwhelming,
So he sleeps on the couch in the living room.
He sleeps in total peace and comfort,
although his body is twisted as if he has just fallen out of a building.
When we grow up, where do the monsters go?
We know They're no longer under our beds,
They have moved to our T.V.'s and computers,
Saadam Hussien,
SARS,
AIds,
Terrorism,
Cancer,
Murder,
Pure hatred,
poverty,
and distrust,
These monsters now have names,
I can Google search them,
I see film at Eleven,
I read the nightmares,
I wish the monsters would go back under the bed,
So I can sleep on the couch in peaceful innocence.
