So that’s it then.
I was a there in the cloud
of cosmic dust
and then I was a rock for
14 billion years,
lived for a few years,
and became water and air
and wind and
a rock again for
14 billion years more.
It’s like a rock blinks for a split
second and looks around,
and says, I matter,
I’m a rock star,
and blinks and becomes
a rock again,
while angels sing,
and 28 billion years,
and a few years more,
become
a tiny stone in the sea
so
love the rocks around you
though rocky souls they may be
for they beat the odds
to blink with you and me.

Our founder and mentor believed quite strongly in one cause and we have taken up the torch. We are proud to present a recording she made years ago which has been recently found with one other recording.
We lend our support to Doctors Without Borders and are cooking some pages for them in memory of Summer. Let the campaign begin!

The first thing we are doing is 205 pages on World history, music, and tours of 205 countries of the world. We have earned a link to this page and have placed a link to Doctors Without Borders on all pages in our efforts to get the word out, Summer Breeze’s word that this is one world and we are one people.

Malala Yousafzai’s entire Nobel prize speech

From the town of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Malala Yousafzai went aginst the Taliban and was shot defending the right of young girls to have an education. We salute her award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
She ahares the prize with Kailash Satyarthi of India, an Indian a hero of campaigns to end child labor and free children from trafficking.
The Peace Prize was first given in 1901 and Malala is the youngest recipient. Because of the joint award to a person from India and Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi are requesting that the leaders o0f both countries attend the award ceremony. “It is my humble request.”, said Malala.
She is a very humble and brave and worthy recipient who found out about the award in school.
Congratulations Malala Yousafzai. Bravo!

Rock creek always rolls to
the sea
and the water
rains down in the mountains
from the sea
and makes the creek
roar
in a cycle
the Mother’s cycle
the Father’s cycle
the sea
and our arms rise into the air
and our feet dance
the dance of the water
but the seas hear the roar
of bombs falling
on land
and the cries
of the forgotten children

So Rock Creek may stop
rolling to the sea
when we
refuse to weep

Sea Carneys
Sea carnivals call to me, carnivals
carried by the wandering carney waves
to land and back
around the globe
trading bits of driftwood
seashells and jellyfish
with each other
glittering sunlight hiding surprises
crashing and splashing
driven by the moon and wind
tossing themselves at the world
with foamy glee
breaking up on the shore
tickling the toes of little children
lapping at the sides of pirate ships
always singing the songs of the waves.
They ignore the words of
fearful doldrums
warning words from those
holding tight to every drop
jealously guarding
every grain of salt and sand
warning the waves to come back
warning them to stay away from shores
where they’ll be broken to bits
and have to crawl back into the sea
in pieces becoming
the bagladies and hobos of the deep
scrounging for their lost bits
to recreate themselves.
51
Stay here in the doldrums, they say,
where you’re safe
imprisoned in safety
so that you may live
to fear again.
But a wave, having crashed against a distant shore
doesn’t mind
recreating itself.
