Learn the strength,
of standing alone ...
Know the complete beauty,
of all of you.

Handle everyone, with care. Hard on the outside may still be tender on the inside. (c)jan leree 1/28/2013 
Your light is needed ... in whatever corner you find yourself in. (c)jan leree 2012 
While there is color to the leaves, while there are clouds in the sky, while there are birds in the air, may I be a giver of life, a lover of beauty ... ... a sensitive soul. (c)jan leree 2012 
Defensiveness in me ... prevents personal growth ... Defensiveness in me ... obstructs intimacy... ... I want to be a place where beauty is ... I want to be a place where there is room for someone else to flourish. I want to be a conduit to nourish. (c)jan leree 2012 
Universal Campaign, for heart transplantations... Some, many people's lives, are so difficult, ... they can hardly breathe ... due to emotional trauma that far exceeds their physicial pain ... ... Walk into tomorrow with grace. Think of handing out gifts of fabric and lace ... rather than stones and malice. (c) jan leree 2012 
Often, what appears jagged … What we are afraid of … Becomes nothing, with time … As mold on crust … As a strong rain washes pools of metal, ... Into rust … And falls away, Cast to the dust. Invest in what frees your soul … What carves solace into your heart’s bowl… Who gives Love, ever and lasting hold. © jan leree 2012  The mountains call … They call on us all … To reach for the heights … To pray and live … With all our might … To strive at length and best … To weigh in, stretching for the crest … To know and be known, In the Birthplace of rest …. © jan leree 2012 Photo taken 5/29/12 From Mount Scott Oregon, looking East of Mount St. Helens Washington  Edging into flow ... There is something, Edging to express … But my words, ... They flounder and are amiss… I desire to be flow … To stretch and cast my arms, As if to form a bridge … There is so much life to live ... I have so much love to give ... I have so much light to shed... There is no more time to dump ice on someone's head... May I let criticism be uttered ... only from someone else's lips. ©jan leree 2012
