"I Believe in you!"
A message of Hope...stories from the
road.
By Bob Perks
************************************************
Hello, my Friend!
I hope you are well, holding onto the little bit of summer
left or welcoming the first snippet of spring. The world may be big
but the seasons are all too small.
I have been trying to find myself lately. If you see
me, tell me to go home. I miss me.
Love always and all ways...
Bob and Marianne

has no voids. Just spaces where we pause long
enough to appreciate what was before, what is now and what can be."

Today's message:
"I'll take whatever's
left..."
By Bob Perks
His hair needed the loving touch of someone who cared what
he looked like. He stopped caring a long time ago.
His clothes needed pressing or simply a bit of
rearranging. They hung on him now unlike the form fitting design he
commanded when clothes made him walk taller.
It was clear he just stopped trying.
It was a fact that he did not wake up each day, he simply
slid into place. That place now was wherever he landed when he stopped the
night before.
I looked into his eyes and saw his yesterdays. He
looked into mine and felt no real connection at all.
He could not stand erect. He slumped. He could
not walk, he dragged himself along.
Physically handicapped? Yes. He was blind to
his own potential and crippled by the weight of the world he kept on his
shoulders.
I tried to speak with him but he had no interest in
hearing from me.
Although he did say, "I am falling apart...falling
down...crumbling."
Then he walked away.
He stayed with me, he remained a part of my every thought
over the next few days.
There are things I see that impact me in such a way that
they melt into my being. There are words I hear that slip between my
breathing in and breathing out and go directly to my heart. I cannot rid
myself of images flashed before my eyes nor exhale words that were meant
for me to consume.
I am the life I choose to live. So is
he.
I have not seen him again and I don't suppose I ever
will. But still, I have a message for him. Words from the Master
that came too late for him but perhaps just in time for you.
"I'll take whatever's left and make you whole
again."
"I believe in you!"
Bob

"I Wish You enough!"
© 2001 Bob Perks I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye." |
