Winter Snow & Snow Colored Flour

"The snow fell gently all the night.

It made a blanket soft and white.
It covered houses, Flowers and ground

But did not make a single sound."

Thought For The Day

~ Those who lose dreaming are lost.
~ Just trust yourself, then you will know how to win.
~ Doing your best is more important than being the best.
~ Life is a work of art, designed by the one who lives it. You can get anything you want in this life if you help other people get what they want.
~ Know yourself. The unexamined life is not worth living

With Love,
Amma-Naana

From Amma, Edmonton

Dear all,

We are fine here.

"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help lift him up"

"The great victories of life are oftenest won in a quiet way, and not with alarms and trumpets"

The Whispers of The Trees

"They swing their arms at me,
and try to seize me
They tickle me when I walk past them
With countless fingers and toes
They surround me from every angle
In their colonies of forest

Stand tall and proud
But meek and modest
Clothed in brown splendor
They don’t show themselves
They alter their wardrobe
To fit their mood
While we put on more clothes
Flashy and green

Then naked
Leaning together in the wind,
Whispering gossip to each other
Always have something to whisper
Especially when the wind flies by
Shhhhhhhhhh.

They feel lonely and bare in the winter
Jealous of those still green

Always have something to give
Shelter, lumber, fruit, beauty, shade."
