Namaste Jimmieanna, VeroniKA and every-One,
Thank you VeroniKA for your smiling eyes and Jimmieanna for your beautiful heartfelt poem. As far as I know, all the wisdom traditions of the world and the sages, healers, masters have revealed that wisdom is simple. This is why a while back I included the words from one of my favorite sages, The Little Prince:
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
You may also like the poems/words of another beautiful sagelike being named Mattie Stepanek (http://www.mattieonline.com/) who came to this earth just long enough to bless us for a little while with his heartwisdom and then moved on.
Blessings,
Jonathan

Hello Verronika,
I thought your poem was beautiful
the words you sing so true,
some would call them simple thoughts
and to me simple will do.
For me my life so simple
that words that sing a song
are all that really matter
simple is how we get along.
when words like peace, harmony,
justice, Love, nurture, Smile all
come together on a page
the feeling it is now.
The Love You sent with Your Song
bends me to my knees
a Smile with eyes Smiling back
Verronika if you please~
I have been reading Mother Teresa Come Be My Light on page 281....
"I remember some time ago a big group of professors
came from the United States and they asked,
"Tell us something that will help us," and I said
"Smile at each other."
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
That resonates deeply within my Soul.
in and of love and ever so small....jimmieanna

dearest Jimmieanna,
here is my translation
may be you can change it so that it "makes sense" in english, too?
so that i can bring it on the homepage in english, too
thanks and smile from here to there and everywhere
veroniKA
smiling eyes is a nice little one
so they may be called those girls
whom one likes to look after
whom one likes to look at
who are in ones memories
smiling eyes has her name because of her eyes
from these eyes
always radiates a deep smile
that directly enters the heart of those
who are smiled at
and she smiles at every and anybody she meets
just so
whoever meets her
does not registrate in the beginning what this meant to be
but s/he notices
how her/his heart becomes more and more open
how s/he feels more and more tender
and one day
s/he looks into the mirror and smiles at her/himself
one should call her smiling eyes s/he thinks by her/himself
leaves her/his house
and smiles at everybody
whom s/he meets
with her/his eyes
....
This smile passes itself on and on
around all the earth
...
This smile arounds the earth once again
...
This smile opens the hearts of so many
That the earth begins to smile, too
And
Do you hear her laugh?
I wish you for each meeting with whomever
Smiling eyes
The smile that goes around the earth
