MICHAEL ...

 

MICHAEL

 Intention, an expressed love of GOD, words as echoes of heart, sound as light, light as sound, soul beholding PRESENCE... and so he wrote, and so he spoke, and so he played his music.

My loving husband, best friend, soul mate and best father to Sophia is in heaven. He now sheds his everlasting light and positive energy on us.

Thank you Michael for sharing with us your love, laughter, joy, knowledge, humor, music, words, and compassion. You were a gift to us all. We are forever grateful that you touched our lives with your light.

We so blessed by his known PRESENCE of light supernal
Gifts he gives from his soul, his soul eternal.

As with each of us there are stories to tell. 

Michael was born in El Monte, California. He and his twin brother were adopted by Jessie and Wilma Evrard who raised Michael, and his twin brother, Patrick,  providing a home and family life in Glendora, California. Typical of a healthy growing boy,  Michael  met the challenges and developed the skill sets to actively participate in  baseball, football, wrestling, track, field,  and cross country running. 

Music soon made its passion known. A Cello, a Guitar, were Michael's string instruments of choice. Michael was seen as a gifted and talented performer. During his teen years, guitar became his favored  instrument of choice. Michael  played in bands and was indeed, a much appreciated soloist. Music became a source of solace, an art form, an origination, an inner dialogue that sounded his sense of self, love, and salvation.  Yes, as with his most recent music productions, music was of feelings, reflection, exploration, renewal, a giving of his heart, his soul, his knowing,  and his questioning of purpose, self, truth. 

Knowing self, valuing others, Michael was diversified in his activity and his employment He helped families create their financial futures, was an actor who appeared in “Lost” and “Prison Break,” sold music equipment. Yes, Michael was ever ready for a new venture.  

Michael was drawn to the field of teaching and social services. He took joy in bringing what he knew,  what he had learned to teach others. He provided caring case management services  to those classified as having  Developmental Disabilities. This was his most recent employment. His welcomed friendliness, good cheer, and attentive care,  were valued and applauded by clients and staff members. 

Time, change, marriage, parenthood, a shared life, the blessings of a growing daughter.  Sophia, our beautiful daughter, was born in 2004. She is like her father,  compassionate, an old soul,  with a crazy sense of humor, love of math, people, and sports.  YES, her DADA  praised her singing voice and love of drums. Michael cherished each moment with his family.  Living in the NOW, being grateful to banner, GOD LOVES ALL. 

Michael has presented how he chooses to be known. He has provided us with a self created presentation of  his story, his consciousness, his defined purposes, his publications. 

One need only to open to any page in the completed Trilogy, to be taken to wisdom, spirit, philosophy, science, and an all pervasive love of Truth, of Beauty, of Life, of Love, of GOD. 

I was guided to simply open each book of the Trilogy, to a random page, for even by chance, loving counsel would be received and so it has come to BE...

Why Are We Here?
"Our Eyes serve the single purpose of gathering light forms."

How Life Works?
"Since I believe anything is possible, I can take a concept such as Nothing and realize that it is Something, even if it does not exist in physical form."

All That Exists
"We reflect whatever we see in ourselves while viewing one another and everything that we see."

Mahalo,

Are we paying full attention to CAUSE ... HEED WELL THE PLEA...


Nature responds with skies fair, with skies storming, overcast with clouds hiding the sun, ever changing, ever giving over to the night, and a dawning new. Does it remember the turmoil, the devastation, the loss, brought forth in the wake of a storm? Or does it simply do what it is charged to do to bring forth a balance we have yet to understand? Are we not of similar behavior? Have we not 'stormed' in response to injustices, suppression, violation of balance, ignorance of prevailing need? Have we not violated the waters, seas, oceans, rivers, streams by dumping what is destructive to the growth and survival of sea life, both animal and plant?

Just as we, when ill may run a fever, so too, when the ocean waters are overrun by pollution, it becomes 'feverish' and does what it must to cleanse, to flood, to clear, so that the suffocation we bring to our waters can cease. How fresh the air is, how bright the sun is, how clear the skies, after a storm. A PAUSE .... yes, we are then faced with the aftermath of the 'feverish' high cresting waves, the flood waters, the strong winds, and what was destroyed. Are we not to fully grasp that Earth is the dwelling place, the bounty provider, the majestic expression of Creation that ultimately serves our survival and wellbeing?

Are we not to grasp that there is an intelligence to creation that is yet to be understood, yet to be fully respected. 'Quick and Easy' has proven to be mindless of the consequences of toxins, pesticides, food additives, artificial ingredients, artificial preservatives on the health, growth and development of our children, the safety of our homes and gardens, our fields, our farms, our cities, our BEING. Headlines, News Flashes, are reflective of the mayhem, the mismanagement, the misguided who become the 'shooters,' the lies, that create ongoing liabilities, loss of life, liberty, peace.

Mother Earth is storming, screaming, raging, not to destroy, but to balance..,. We are to know how to listen to her instruction... We are to appreciate that we are equally responsive to change, to insult, to destruction, to frequencies that are interfering with the ambient, natural communication of all living systems. There is a natural order that we are NOT to defy in the name of progress. It is beckoning for our discernment, for our respect, for our reverent acknowledgment. We as individuals, family, community, state, nation, universe, are to BE attendant to the call of the Earth, to the call of Humanity, to the call of wellness and wellbeing, to the call of TRUTH.. to the Plea for PEACE.

LISTEN TO THE CALL ... HEED WELL THE PLEA...

USA FLAG DAY ~ June 14, 2022~ Ever to FLY FREE...

 



Betsy Ross 1777, a ca. 1920 depiction by artist Jean Leon Gerome Ferris of Ross showing Gen. George Washington (seated, left), Robert Morris and George Ross how she cut the revised five-pointed stars for the flag.
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on that day in 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress, seeking to promote national pride and unity, adopted the national flag. "Resolved: that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
As a grade school student in New York City I played the role of Betsy Ross in a school play honoring the Flag of the United States of America and the meaning of Freedom. Yes, stitch by stitch I sewed white stars on the deep blue background. When then I would look to the sky and see the brilliant light of stars, I smiled knowing we were meant to be free, to shine anew.

F L A G... be it the call to Freedom, Love, Aspiration, Grace... in all ways blessed..

Respectfully,

WHY ~ CAUSE and EFFECT...

 WHY ~ CAUSE and EFFECT

I, from the time I was able to say the word WHY, to this very moment, WHY stands as my ongoing question. As a student of science, it was a called for exploration. it was a word basic to the understanding, of CAUSE and EFFECT. It brought one to understand the underlying principles of form, of structure, of function. The WHY became the exploration within the sciences, within the arts, within the consciousness of Life and BEING.
There was ever the search for the WHY, for CAUSE and EFFECT, be it in biology, physics, chemistry, psychology, physiology, quantum physics, mathematics, geometry... ever the pursuit of the WHY. As a professional master educator since 1960, as an Educational Consultant/Therapist, in private practice since 1983, as a proclaimed Woman of Distinction in 2021, WHY has not ceased to drive me to search, to explore and to discover relationships of CAUSE and EFFECT.

With the NEWS of those plagued with substance abuse, with addictions, with suicides, we are to understand the pain and come forth with viable understanding and support. 

The WHY resounds ever so loudly when hearing of a 'shooter' who has brought merciless loss of innocent life. We are charged to ask WHY... charged to be more fully aware of the WHY ... charged to become knowing of CAUSE, so as to initiate, put in place, and sustain that which can offset a consequential, problematic, hurtful, regretful, horrific, EFFECT!

In the name of care, in the name of concern, in the name of resolution, in the name of protection, in the name of PREVENTION, our children, our youth, deserve our commitment, our understanding, our action, our care. YES, we are to ask, WHY? WHY? WHY?

To Our Eternal PRESENCE


 
To Our Eternal PRESENCE
There was an embrace of God's love, this at our first breath, there was celebration at our birth, marvel at our first smile, at the hand that clutched onto another, at our first word, at our first step, at all we reached out for, of all that we explored and expressed in wonderment, in joy, Soon, with nurturance and care, we become walking, speaking, expressive, participatory, selective, a SELF responsive to moment to moment need, quest, and an inner vision, be it real or imagined.
As the years came forth we became the toddler, the youngster, the teen, the young adult, the adult, the senior. The need for validation, purpose, care, nurturance, calls onto its self as a constant, life onto life onto life. Let us remember that in one's latter years, as in one's younger days, the child within has an everlasting life that we are to hold in reverent care. Yes, the miracle, the marvel, the wonderment, the joy, be it known from our first breath to our last, to our Eternal Presence.

    Carl Hanson ~ Thank YOU . and to All...
    When one and all come to deeply understand and appreciate the SELF is of time, experience, of the bounty and gifts of MOTHER EARTH, the need for pause, for breath, for attenuation, will be understood as primordial. More discernment will come forth before there is the use of chemicals, toxins, manipulations of seed and food. The Cymatics of our Being, Our Earth, of Life itself, will be held sacred, and so there will be non acceptance of the pollution of our air, of our water, of our Planet, of that which we deem SELF.
    This our mission possible ðŸŒ€

P E A C E ... be it of 
                                Passion, 
                                    Equity, 
                                        Aspiration, 
                                            Care, 
                                                Ease ... 

that serves, that nourishes, that supports supernal blessings of BEING. Be it of a state, a presence, of harmony that beholds self, and our gift of time called life. Be it the giving, the receiving, the attenuation that allows the inhalation, the exhalation, the ebb and flow, the pause, 
the breath of BEING... of MOTHER EARTH, of SELF.

To LOVE.. To RESOLVE ..

 

~ click on image for fuller view ~

To all who visit: ❤
There are times, periods within each lifetime, that we are called upon to pause. To deeply observe the relationship between cause and effect. This may be brought about by a loss, an illness, an accident, a decision, or following direction that may not truly be in our own best interest.
We are here offered a choice. Do we become the victim of the presenting circumstances, losing faith, being besieged with doubt, confusion, and vulnerability, or do we, as does the Eagle, rise above the storm, lifted to new heights of power and liberation?
A series of events, misguided direction, a pandemic, have brought forth a call to pause, to soar above the storm. To LOVE.. To RESOLVE ... Here posted in jpg form if you wish to print, preserve, share ❤

All with love,
