UNIVERSE AND WEAVE IN HARMONY
Who am I you ask?
What are my abilities you wonder.
I have not come this far by your
direction, or by your power.
The higher authority that breathed
life into my frame, who
very much ordained my name
decided…and so it was!
Perception is sometimes powered by
STEROTYPE!
Misconception is sometimes powered
by dislike!
Who am I you ask….
I am the force and the will of creation…
I am the power of the volcano’s eruption
molten lava rolling and burning a path through
everything!
A tornado in all of its thoughtless, callous chaos….twirling
in beauty and destruction without apparent destination, or goals…
intent on devastation…yet in simplistic natural beauty powered by an unseen
machine and engine.
A hurricane large and moving in speeds of one hundred mile an hour winds, ripping trees from their root beds and tossing homes and cars like children’s toys…yet again powered by an unseen mechanical engine of such power as to draw all living and dead into its path.
So who am I you ask?
Incased in this flesh I am mortal, a woman, an individual with thoughts, feelings and ideas.
Yet you perceive me weak, you know….first impressions and all….
But oh, do not be deceived….just as you are ….I see through to your very soul….
we are both
the force and will of creation!
Just as I have and you have the ability to be creative, so do I ….just as you have the ability to be destructive so do I.
I chose life…
what do you choose?
Within me reigns the absolute power to choose—to be the FORCE AND WILL OF CREATION!

I have been on a journey…
My friend
I have not been lost
intentionally
but a journey of length
and depth has
challenged my
very heart and soul
I have gathered need
and gathered sorrow
My journey leads me
down dark alleys
bright rooms,
painful thoughts
and haunting fears
Tears are worthless
here on my journey
But the tears still come
and roll down my cheeks
like snowballs gathering
size and speed
My nose and face feel clogged
from the emotions spent
on this journey
Come free me my friend
from this torment
But I do not cry for myself
I cry for another
My son, my dear son
What will be?
Sickness again claimed
him on June 24 after
his American History
Regents exam…of which he
did receive an 88!
The victory of his passing
is overshadowed by the
illness that gripped him in
its stealy hands
I wish for him joy,
health, and happines…
I pray for him health, health, and more health
So that has been my journey my friend
Seeking health and strength for
the child of my womb
The child I had prayed for 15 years ago
is in a battle for his life….
So my journey is not a lonely one
but a hard. brittle, prickly one
Where have I been? Right here,
at home, at work, but journey is a battle of
the mind and strength of the
spirit.
JOurney is to walk a walk of faith,
and endurance…
So I have not called you, written you,
but I know you are still there.
I will not go,
while I continue this journey, whose
destination I yet do not know.

Teed, left, celebrates with Gus after her pooch was crowned champ. Next to her is Dane Andrew and former winner Rascal, another Chinese Crested. Owners of ugly dogs from all over the country traveled to compete in the contest.
I had two of these Cresteds in my house when I was growing up. My mother loved to help animals! Our house became a haven rest stop…kind of like the UNDERGROUND RAILROAD for dogs and cats in between adoptive homes! My mother’s friend Joyce had Yorkies that she breed. Sometimes she would come across a breeding dog that no one wanted anymore. My mother would take the dog in until an ad was placed in the local news paper and a adoptive home was found. For some reason we ended up with the two Chinese Cresteds!!!
They were so funny and so full of energy. I hated to give them up! But I already had 3 dogs at the time. My mother had a very large bungalo in Springfield Gardens Queens back then We had the largest yard on the block. We had an above ground swimming pool also. I loved my childhood for those reasons. I had my own playground and adventure land. Our yard had a large apple tree, and rose bushes all around. I really, really remember the joys of summer back then.
I digress… any how, the Chinese Cresteds would come when I called them. I used to call them THING 1 AND THING 2 or combination of “THE NAKEDS!!!!” I would say, “NAKEDS….COME GET YOUR FOOD!!!!!” And you know what they would do? They would come running and slide into the kitchen in such excitement I would just laugh and laugh! They were adorable!
I kind of feel sorry for these Chinese Cresteds displayed in this AOL article because they are sick and then being called ugly. I mean naturally ugly is one thing…but a dog missing a leg, and one eye and having skin cancer is not ugly…the dog is sick. Those dogs in perfect health, look odd…but not ugly.
The Cresteds that we had were strong and healthy. They had the tuft of hair on the head, ears, tail, and privates…but they were cute! They were not missing any teeth, they were quite young as a matter of fact. So again, I feel that the dogs they are showing as a competition means, well, that they have to get old and sick before they can compete in this UGLY DOG COMPETITION.
I liked their skin, one Crested looked like an pink complexion and their other had brown complexion. I thought they were like people….they were hilarious…and good spirited! They loved tons, and tons of affection!
They should do a competition on the world’s best looking Crested! You know…it would be better than seeing these dogs at their worst state….sickly and lacking legs and eyes. Who would want people to see them in ill health and have a picture taken at their worst?
