Much remains unsaid. Sometimes, I don’t know what to share. So much happens as we journey through this life. Most, I keep bottled up inside. There’s but a few I would dare share with, but they are nowhere to be found. There comes a point where I break. A junction of ill suppress, but all dead end. So, here I am. No choice, no victory. One last attempt. Failed miserably. No hope, no friend. Just me and my pen.
Here I am, again. I feel the pull towards thoughts devoid of pleasure or joy; not even, simply without unpleasantries.
The darkness falls. The light fades. Oh, sadness that be, let me free.
The thought, the thought, and the thought that follows. All thoughts lead to the dark and infinite hallows. I just want to rest.
The darkens falls. The light fades. Oh, sadness that be, let me free.
Strong as a call from the Wild. I feel it, I hear it. The call to an end. The call towards the dim. The call from the shadows.
The darkness falls. The light fades. Oh, sadness that be, let me free.
Think now, think. Plan and do. The darkness begs to be acknowledged. The darkness shall be ignored, no more.
The darkness calls. The light is gone. Oh, sadness that be, you may have me.
Darkness called, and I could not help but answer. That looks like a mighty good way to go. That is a mighty good place to rest.
The darkness called. The light is gone. Oh, sadness that be, you have me.
“That’s a Hell of an adventure, if it doesn’t kill you, or a peaceful way to die,” I think, “and, if you’re lucky, the journey there might show you the Sunrise….to last you to another call.”
I believe in the power of the mind. I believe in the magic of a soul. I believe in a world of dreams come true and happily ever afters.
The power of belief. The power of the will. The power of the mind. The power of the Universe. Power. Energy. Magic. This is what lets me know.
Will it, and it shall be. Travel to the destination of your imagination. This is what your mind creates. This is when your soul transforms. This is where your will takes you.
Somewhere out there, in a place unseen, is a valley of light. Somewhere out there, in a place we cannot hear, is an echo of laughter. Somewhere out there, just beyond our reach, are those who touch our hearts.
Let everyone know where I have traveled, and know this…those that are left behind, simply have yet to travel here. So, meet me in this land one day. Here, I shall be waiting. In this place, we shall unite again.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Dear loved one, who believed all this to be true…you have finally made the journey to this paradise. You lived so long in sadness, missing your soul mate. You fought for all your loved ones, and stayed strong until the very end. You were here for us all. Now, I am left with sadness, but also peace of mind. For, I know that you are happy by his side once more.
Yesterday would have been your birthday. Twelve days shy of ninety-nine, you left. But, this does not mark the end. So…Happy birthday, Grandma! Here’s to almost 99 years, and infinity!
‘Tis the time to reflect, upon years past. ‘Tis the time of greatest hope, for the year to come. Some will set goals, some will give up things, and others will do neither. But, here’s my wish for all of you…just have a great TODAY!
As we look at 2020, some will see it wasn’t the ideal year. Should you examine every day, you’ll find you have lived through an epidemic. That’s already a plus. To those that have lost loved ones this year, I offer my condolence. Though, I know from experience, nothing can truly make a loss better, I do know that it helps to focus on those that are still here…and to have someone to lean on, eases the pain, too.
Every year is different. They all have their pros and cons. Some teach us more than others. There’s always the best and worst in our book of life. However, even on the worst years, we forget that things can always get worse. Or, we don’t realize that things will get better. So, celebrate the end of this year, not as a good riddance, but as a caring goodbye to an old friend…that you may welcome a new friend (hopefully a better one than the last), 2021!
And if 2020 was good to you, may your new friend be just as kind, or even more so.
Wishing you the best life has to offer, today and always.
Happy New Year!
Omelet Tostada
This is one of my creations in the kitchen. Mix eggs with seasonings and herbs of your choice. Cook 1/2 inch thick and round the size of a small skillet. Do not flip. Instead, cover with lid or foil to cook both sides. Instead of cooking your added ingredients into the egg, place fresh and uncooked ingredients over egg. Tomatoes, peppers, cheese, etc. If you would like melted cheese, place cheese over cooked omelet, as soon as the omelet is done, and let sit while covered for a while, before removing egg from skillet (stove/heat off). For meat toppings, cook meat separately from eggs and add with toppings. Top off with ketchup or hot sauce (optional). Enjoy!
I am not a person seeking fans. I do not write for others. I do not share for likes. This is not even about expression. When I take pictures or write something down, I do it for myself. I enjoy the time I spend creating. That time when boredom hides and emotions create. That time when thoughts turn into something more, and when burdens flee my side. This is my time. I cherish time. Time is the most valuable thing life has to offer, just as life is the most valuable thing this Universe offers. So, why bother to post at all? Why share my creations with anyone, when they were not meant to be seen, when created? Well, my deer audience, the answer is simple…
Once upon a time, I kept my creations all to myself. From poetry, to drawings, photography, and more. Projects made by hand and gifted to a select few, that is what started it all. People wanted me to share these things, that they found good. Although, aware of the term “good” being perspective, I thought to myself, “why not?”. Thus, little by little, I began to share. First, my photography. Then, my crafts. Now, my words. Perhaps, one day, I shall share more of my thoughts and creations, more of my ideas and inventions, and more of me. For now, I am but a single person, not seeking fame nor fortune.
I do not write for others; I do not share for likes. However, this does not mean I do not value my audience. I cherish time, yours as much as mine. You could have read something else. You could have stopped reading by now. Yet, you are still reading this verse. Thank you for staying. Thank you for your time. It is a blessing to have had your time and attention for this long. I hope I have not disappointed; I hope I do not disappoint. For your time, I offer this:
The wisdom of Heaven is love, the wisdom of Hell is happiness on Earth, and the wisdom of Earth is balance. For one to be wise, one must care to know more, learn from everything, and go through Heaven and Hell. The result is to be grounded on Earth, that is your peace and balance–that is your wisdom.
It has been a while since my last post. Things keep getting in my way and I haven’t fought hard enough. Right now, it is best that I get away from routine. You will not see me Wednesdays as you’re so used to, not always, anyways. Whenever I am able to sneak in a post, I promise to do so. You may see me missing for short or long whiles, but I haven’t abandoned you. I still have plenty to post and say. I still read blogs, I still take pictures, and I still write things. Hopefully, this makes it so you see me more, as you haven’t been lately.
I want to thank those of you who are still with me and I hope I can continue to provide whatever it is that keeps you with me. I do, however, wish to give you plenty to read, even in my absent periods…especially, in these times of “In Person” Social Distancing. Notice I say, “In Person”, with emphasis. That is because there are plenty of ways to stay social online.
These are my top 3 recommended Blogs…
The Travellothoner: Poems, book reviews, travel, and exercise are some of his most common subjects.
Eclipsed Words: Provides things such as poetry, inspirational material, helpful tips, advice, and positivity.

Love is powerful, love is magical…But, what is love?
Love is an eternal flame that burns in every caring heart.
Love can endure a lifetime and last forever more.
Love doesn’t cage, love doesn’t judge.
Love accepts and understands-seeing all flaws, but remains standing strong.
Love is kind, love is caring.
Love can be given to many, and has many forms.
Love is respectful, love is honorable.
Love may be hurtful, but it never aims to hurt.
Love is forgiving, love is a choice.
Love is never having to say “Sorry” but always wanting to.
Love is giving, love is sacrifice.
Love, in its true form, desires happiness for loved ones, even if it means saying goodbye.
Love is courage, love protects.
Love doesn’t excuse faults; instead, it helps one learn and grow.
Love is free, love is strong.
Love, in its own way is selfish, but selfless by nature.
Love is honest, love is vast.
Love gives without expecting and asks for nothing in return.
Love is natural, love is valuable.
Love is the most beautiful pain one chooses to endure for the greatest reward of all…
Love!
Every New Year, people allover the World set resolutions/goals for themselves.
It is a time that reminds one that time is passing. “New year, new…”, they say.
Time, however, passes us by every day…every minute…every second.
Suns rise and set, leaving behind only the memories of days past.
In time, we gain and we lose; we fall and get back up; and, if we are lucky, time keeps passing us by.
Whatever the old years have given or taken, no matter what the new years bring…
May you continue to live…
May you continue to fight.
Happy New Day!
This time of year, people tend to be disturbed or offended by others whom may wish you a ______.
This blank can be a “Merry Christmas”, a “Happy Hanukkah”, a “Happy Kwanzaa”, or “Happy Holidays”.
No matter your beliefs, religious or otherwise, it is important to analyze the meaning of these words.
People want others to take them into consideration, but often fail to do the same of others. If you try to force someone else to use a different phrase, or none at all, you are being selfish.
Instead, I present you with this:
The true meaning of these words is…”I wish you good things.”
If your opinion differs in any way (because that’s all a believe is, a strong opinion or view), you don’t have to say it back. A simple, “thank you” or “I wish you well, too”, will do.
This can be carried on through the year, too. Just because someone thinks or feels differently, it doesn’t mean we should get offended by it.
Unless the person means to offend, we must forgive others for hurting us unintentionally.
Lastly, when someone wishes you that “blank”, they are sharing with you something about themselves.
I believe the World would be a better place if we learned to be more accepting of others. Appreciate what people choose to share with you.
Best Wishes…ALWAYS!
If I only have one more day of life, I want everyone I love to know that, wherever I may be, I will always be there.
Please don’t cry for me, for I used my time wisely. I spent all my time and energy giving you all my love and focus. I did what I could to help others. I sacrificed it all, that you would find a moment of happiness.
I will not go far, my body may not be seen, but my spirit and my love will always be by your side. Know that you are great and I am proud.
To those who have followed any of my journeys, thank you for giving me a piece of your time and, thus, a piece of your life.
One never knows what tomorrow will bring, or even the next moment, but if I shall part this Earth, let me have said my final goodbye.
Love, -Rebel
