A child's appetite for new toys appeal to the desire for ownership and appropriation: the appeal of toys comes to lie not in their use but in their status as possessions.

Who will mend this broken chair
This useless chair just standing there
Waiting for a drop of glue
Who will mend it, if not you

Then take a look at this broken heart
Can you fathom where to start
Who can make it beat anew
Who can mend it, if not you?

Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there's shadow - no, not just shadow, but fullness. You've got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that's real.

Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing –to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

She is the dream that scatters with the sun
Absorbed into flame and flame absorbing,
Eternal motion once with endless peace,
The camel has no was and will be, only being.

I am a little bunny.
Eyes on the sides of my head.
I see to the left and right,
Behind me and ahead.

I am a little bunny,
These are my very long ears.
They help me hear many sounds,
I can hear from far and near.

I am a little bunny,
My strong legs are for jumping.
Warning others of danger,
I use my feet for thumping.

I am a mother bunny,
With a white and fluffy tail.
I lift it up into the air,
Babies now follow my trail.

The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief.

Is it that they are born again
And we grow old? No, they die too.
Their yearly trick of looking new
Is written down in rings of grain.

Yet still the unresting castles thresh
In fullgrown thickness every May.
Last year is dead, they seem to say,
Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.
[Philip Larkin]

Broken hearts are never healed. They haunt us for a lifetime even if we find someone else. Our past teaches us lessons that make us more aware and more human. Why then do we feel so hurt knowing it can only get better? Break ups are never easy, but writing poems help the healing process.
Breaking up with someone you care about is one of the toughest decisions any of us will ever have to go through. Dealing with the pain and heart break is never easy. We just have to live the days as they are set out and not live in the past.

Freedom from within
Freedom to think beyond universe
Freedom from living up to other ideas or expectations
Freedom to stand against all odds
Freedom from gods will
Freedom from triumph and disaster
Freedom from democracy and aristocracy
Freedom from scams and scandals
Freedom from caste, creed and color
Freedom from meaning less dogma
Freedom from fear and hatred
Freedom from life and death

Leaves are like ideas in the mind
They come when needed
They flourish and give life
Light and great wisdom

When ideas have served their purpose
They need to be swept away
We must constantly sweep out the old
And give way for the new one

Man breathes for life
As he reaches
His old age
It will cease

And will fall apart
Like a dry leaf…

The Summer Shade - My Aviator

Aviator sunglasses are a style of sunglasses that were developed by Bausch & Lomb and branded as Ray-Ban. They are characterised by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times the area of the eyeball, and very thin metal frames with double or triple bridge and bayonet earpieces or flexible cable temples that hook behind the ears. The original design featured G-15 tempered glass lenses, i.e., natural green, transmitting 20% of incoming light. The large lenses are not flat but slightly convex. The design attempts to cover the entire range of the human eye and prevent as much light as possible from entering the eye from any angle.[1]

Aviator sunglasses, or "pilot's glasses", were originally developed in 1936 by Ray-Ban for pilots to protect their eyes while flying. Aviators were given their name due to their original intention of protecting aviator's eyes. Ray-Ban began selling the glasses to the public a year after they were developed.

The Aviator became a well-known style of sunglasses when General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beach in the Philippines in World War II. Newspaper photographers snapped several pictures of him wearing them.[2] Aviator sunglasses were also issued to and found popularity with the French Army.

The aviator style has been popular since the 1960s, but became even more so following pop culture references of Paul McCartney,[3] Ringo Starr,[3] Alexander Gradsky,[4][5] Freddie Mercury, Jeff Lynne, and later use by celebrities in films like Top Gun, where Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards sported them (sales of the brand rose 40% in the 7 months following the release of the film).[6] Ray Ban aviators were also prominently featured in films Cobra starring Sylvester Stallone and To Live and Die in L.A. - where two main characters are seen wearing them throughout the film. In the 1990s, popularity waned but eventually resurfaced in the early 2000s when comedian daredevil Johnny Knoxville wore them on the MTV series, Jackass

///Quote///
Even more than wanting to be a hero, a father sees the aspiring hero in each of his children. Regardless their sex or age, every child yearns to see a reflection of themselves as a hero in their fa...ther’s heart and eyes.

Fathers have the biggest impact when they are personally engaged and fully involved in their children’s lives, interests, dreams and aspirations on a daily basis. They show acceptance and encouragement, and keep believing in their children to help them believe in themselves. They clearly communicate to uphold guidelines, firmly yet fairly, without belittling or micro-managing.

Delighting in their children, they love to have fun and play. It’s in the context of strong relationships with their parents that children best learn values, among others, for responsibility, integrity, worth ethics, cooperation, resiliency, optimism, and consciousness.
