  • Creating life

    To be somebody is to create life

    In dead material

    – and among living persons

    Giving dead material a new form that speaks.

    Making imagination pregnant, exuberant, fruitful.

    Generating new forms of life

    By sowing dream-seeds and new thought patterns,

    Releasing talents and empowering people.

    To be somebody is to be full of life and joy

    In such a way that you are contagious,

    Rubbing of joy, optimism, faith and love

    To all people you touch during the day.

    When you live your dream you will create life

    In people who is catching your joy

    And starts dreaming their own dreams.

  • Rejoicing

    To be somebody
    is to rejoice
    in small things
    in the ordinary days
    and let the joy
    brighten up life

  • Laughing

    To be somebody
    is to laugh
    good and heartily
    of small events
    and embrace life
    in young laughter

  • Smiling to life

    To be somebody
    is to smile to life
    and all you encounter
    in such a way that
    all the bad things drown
    in trust and faith

  • To sing

    To be somebody is to sing
    in major and minor
    in joy and sorrow
    in longing and despair
    to let life be a song
    and all events be
    the music and rhythm
    that give the song life

  • Giving thanks – leaving comments

    To be somebody is to give thanks
    For the small things in life
    It is to leave a comment
    On a poetic blog of a stranger
    Expressing appreciation with one word: cool!
    Telling how you will use it
    In blessing relatives and friends

    When your footsteps are a trail
    Of thanks and appreciations
    Of positive and encouraging words
    Of real and virtual smiles
    Then everyone you encounter
    Will think that you are really somebody

    To be somebody is not to take things for granted
    But allowing yourself to be surprised
    At any little token of goodness
    And every expression of kindness
    Giving glory to the Creator
    He is the source of the beautiful life
    Of a grateful heart
