Bubble Girl

When I was an unborn child, I lived in my own bubble world.

A bubble with all things for survival and happiness protected by my mother.

My mother fed me, spoke to me, and sang to me softly each day.

I was in harmony with her sadness and happiness each day, for her anticipation of me being born was slowly and madly driving her to insanity.

She waited patiently and until, “whoosh”… the bubble broke, and water gushed me out!

A flash of bright light stung my eyes and I squinted with agony!

“No…no…I am cold!” “Where am I?”

Seconds became minutes and my little brown eyes stared at this strange woman.

I stared with awe and wonder. Where is my bubble? Who is this strange woman and place?

Then this strange woman spoke to me softly with her gentle voice, “Hi there, bubble girl. I am your mother.”

She welcomed me to this world with her warm embrace and kisses.

I am the bubble girl that now have to face this whole new world.

Love Our Planet

Love our planet, earth.

A place we call, home.

It provides us with the basic needs of oxygen, water and other necessities to survive.

Take care of our home because with tremendous wear and tear, it will slowly rot to its core.

Love our planet.

Take care of our home.

All plants, animals, and humans will have to bear the unspeakable natural disasters, if we neglect our home.

Beautify our home with more love.

Plant more trees and flowers.

Save and provide more eco-friendly homes to the animals.

Reuse and recycle what we take from the earth.

Give back and volunteer to the communities that gave us hope and joy.

Love our planet.

Life Cycle

When tree leaves turn into different hues of yellow, orange and brown…it symbolizes changes to the season of Autumn and signs of the upcoming Winter Solstice.

Winter symbolizes dormancy to plants, animals, and humans.

What we don’t realize is that everything and everyone on this earth has a life cycle to complete on its own pace.

When something or someone dies, they are going back to the earth and has new life somewhere.

We can’t always control life and death, but with acceptance and resilience; we can survive.

We as humans, could only control what is within our reach…which is within ourselves.

Stay within course, we all have a purpose on this earth; make it a worthy one.

He Said, She Said

Real Estate Sector:

Scenario #2:

Sales Agent: “Welcome to your dream home. Look at the beautiful architecture, all the lines, curve appeal and a sturdy White picket fence. The all-American dream.”

Me: “How do you know about my dream home? Are you psychic? What if I am not all American?”

Moral lesson:

Having assumptions that everyone wants the same features for an ideal home is very taboo.

Scenario #3:

Anyone who has a keen interest in architecture and houses, we would share similar perspectives on the external and internal features. When it comes to house hunting with a Real Estate Agent, I would inquire about the unknown history of the house.

Me: “Are there recent deaths in the past few decades inside this house?”

Sales Agent: ” By California law, I am legally obligated to disclose deaths within the recent three years. I have to apologize, what you are asking is beyond that time frame. You may have to conduct your own research on the history of this house.”

Me: “I am a spiritual person, and I want to communicate with the dead on the dark side.”

Moral lesson:

If you believe in Feng Shui, it is ideal to know if lingering negative energy exists. After all, a house is not just merely a roof over your head.

I Dream of a World

I dream of a world, that one day I could walk freely without fear.

I dream of a world, that one day where I am accepted for who I am truly inside. I don’t need society to determine my life journey to happiness.

I dream of a world, that one day there is true human kindness without hatred but love that manifest itself.

I dream of a world, that one day, all humans could be set free of all worldly pain and suffering.

I dream of a world…could this be surreal or reality?
