Take the High Road

"Vibrant Trail" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- As we go through our lives we have an often overwhelming amount of choices including the constant changing of our life trail.  This life path of ours is often compared to a road or trail across the land rather than the path of a sub-atomic particle even though the rules that govern our life may be closer to those that govern the particles of life rather than those that govern a trip through space-time, but be that as it may we as human animals understand a trip across the desert or over the mountains more that we understand our lives.

The Loving Warmth of Summer

"Sky on a Purple and Green Night" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  High summer is here -  sunlight, freedom and joy - where the carefree warmth of the summer sun can lovingly warm your face even inside your air conditioned day.  Times of dreams, times of action, one fulfills the other - as summer fulfills the winter.

The Pivot Point

"Through the Barrier" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- As I look at the world around me I see a lot of happy things but I also see a lot of unhappy things, and while the world and life and indeed reality are always in a state of flux there seems to be certain times, perhaps every few decades when the world makes a huge and decisive pivot toward it's new reality, and I believe that if I were a fly on the wall of history

Story Night Blue Sky Morn

"Stormy Night" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  Many storms have I seen and many blue skies there have been.  Knowing that each storm will not be the last, never knowing which day will be your last, you ride out each stormy day with a blue sky expected in the morn not Gabrielle blowing his horn.  A day is done, tempest tested and still standing am I, blue sky breaking, a new day of hope is in the making.

Tony

"The Pinwheel" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  Day by day we take our lives, living them the way we do in the days that we are given.  Dreams large and reality small we do what we do when we do it and when we are through we are gone.  Dreams large and reality small, that dreams are larger than reality is the dreams scepter of rule, for when reality is gone do not dreams remain?  In that dreams remain then does not reality return allowing the  dreamer of a dream an immortality?


The special dream that is Tony filled that ultimate immortality July Eighth of this year leaving a hole of emptiness, a void never filled.

Milestones

"Electric Blue" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  Life, like a road, has many milestones between the two personally most important ones, birth and death.  Each life on this planet has it's own milestones in their own way, some are big like the birth of a child, the start of a lifelong career or a debilitating illness, some are small like the first kiss or the first permanent tooth. 
Whatever they may be they like all the events in our life, help to define our life .  But it is the milestones, the large events along with our beliefs that help shape our lives, chart our future and define our past.  Some milestones we have control over, other we don't, but it is the ones that we can control that gives us a life with choices and it is the choices we make that allow us to live the life we want.  Make sure that the choices you make bring you the milestones you want.
