I feel like a "spinning top, a "dreidl" I am getting tired," dear folk," "lieb leidle"
*Ideas that come and go,* *Thinking never stops,* *They drive me to and fro,* *Like whirling dervish tops,* *The driver with the whip,* *Keeps lashing me, a slave,* *To keep me spinning, not to tip,* *From toppling over stave,* *In time, the master, or the slave, will tire,* *The top it wobbles as it turns,* *Has lost its drive and fire,* *For peace and quiet yearns,* *This, the story of the dreidl,* *Whipping it, will turn,* *Round and round, lieb leidle,* *Then is ready, for the urn*

WE can't absorb all the problems of the world...yet we seem to keep trying. May Jasmin slow that dervish top from spinning so fast, but keeps it spinning softly; not ready for the urn just yet, friend!!
Blessings and Love ~~ Micke

That thinking dervish will never get his dear justice, because the whip always will be there with also always someone willing to use it.

New Poetry by JASMIN HORST E. P. SEILER

On the passing of my wife, on May, 3, 2017.

Grace, for you and us, all of us, Children and Grandchildren

Finally booth houses passed some laws, that will benefit our little creatures,a beautiful easter gift for animal lovers. Happy Easter!

Animals on Easter

<br>when will these innocent creatures find some rest.

The tide is turned,

They are at if again, and again, and again, with permission of course,sad isn''t it.

Minister of all,

What? It''s fun you say, killing innocent creatures is fun, it''s too bad it happened when we needed to, it''s not meant for folks who have to, sad as

Oh my God,

On being one with the universe

With wings of spirit,

something to think about

A rush to judgement,

wondering, keeps us alive, and makes it worthwhile,

It's a blessing,
