Shine Through the Clouds by Miller Laffoon

Life gives me two distinct choices,

From them both I must decide.

Will I crash like the waves listening to negative voices,

Crash like the waves hearing the world’s deafening noises,

Or will I sail into the horizon and thrive?

It is simple to stay docked with the comfort of the shore,

It is harder to choose to sail with the wind,

The sea is intimidating, while standing stagnant is a bore.

Life is a series of opened and closed doors,

Dwelling is my enemy, gratefulness is my friend.

Each morning I rise, and to myself I must say,

“Which voyage will I embark on when I wake?

Will I sit with my troubles and lose my way

Or hoist my sails and seize the day?”

It is a choice only I can make.

I will cry out with my head held proud.

The choice to sail is the choice I will choose.

I might seem silent, but my words ring loud,

Like the sun, I will shine through the clouds,

In the choice to be happy, one cannot lose.

 I love the painting “ Starry Night‘ by Vincent Van Gogh …the vivid bright colors and so expressive. Here is a small poem I wrote a while back on this lovely painting.- Sophia Kapoor.

Starry Night

The indigo sky is so vast

The yellow is a ray of hope

The dark tree casts a shadow

All weary people rest

The starry night you make me want to dream

Hide under the shadows

The moonlight shines on my face

I wander far away ....

How many of you shine bright in the sky

I am just in solitude

I brighten the path for weary souls

The Azure shines on too

Will you shine always

Kaavish Kapoor

 What do you want to share with the world about your life experiences?

People are often curious about my experience in life calling on me to personalize life totally silent. My life journey has been nothing but incredible. There are a variety of skills that I’ve learned while always silently observing people.

Older adults plant some loving guidance for us if we listen.

Happy people take tasks and make work enjoyable. How many friends you have isn't as important as the actual approval of a few good companions.

Always make an effort to leave everyone happier than at your meeting.

Always wait awhile before asking about people's personal experience with autism and rather get to know them.

Two needs that all people have are love and acceptance. Some people plant tons of aged signs that impact how some view others abilities. We decide which sign we plant. Each one of us helps to perfect our world and adds beauty.

Two possible reasons why erratic behaviour is bothersome are that we always prefer to understand things potentially leading to fear. I often see people looking at me always with worry because people arent sure what to think. People arent trying to be rude. Today people have too many cares and fears. Personally I am interested in learning about people really at their core. It always helps to listen to people. People like to share any story they can with anyone that will listen. Together everyone can think about what it feels like to live life totally silent by starting to listen more.

Goals by Pablo Hernandez

 Goals

 

Love happiness after the silly, 

Happy thinking fills my mind.

Love hugs from family, 

Some people can be too kind.

 

Love happiness understanding hard things, 

Know I am always learning.

Love feeling my mind prosper, 

The wheels, they are turning.

 

Love interesting things I see, 

Going somewhere, anywhere at all

Love trying to know. Always hungry

To understand the big and small

 

Love reading, Mom always makes time, 

Happy, but I want more.

Can I read alone?

That will open my door.

Pointing by J Haynes

 Pointing

by J Haynes

A simple body gesture that has such a complex meaning. Having no, or little body control, it can be difficult at times to point, going circles in my mind. But making a definite choice to always keep charging towards more communication is what I must continually push myself to do. 

I will always be in a constant battle with my body, that much I have accepted. And that is one of the reasons why pointing is so complex. It involves so much more for me and many others. 

The act of selecting the intended letter is the end goal, but getting there isn’t easy. I must think about what I want to say all while working intensively to keep my entire body in order. All this for just one letter. 

Just one letter, yet it holds so much power. Pointing, one letter at a time, spelling, has forever changed my life and opened up a whole word of possibilities. 

Pointing. Pointing takes persistence. Pointing gives me power. With this seemingly simple gesture, the possibilities are endless.
