Randy Ponzio, with love

A good friend of mine and local Vancouver musician Randy Ponzio, passed away on November 17th, 2011. He left behind three beautiful children, and lots of friends and family. We all miss him dearly and have done our best to celebrate his short life. He was an amazing man who did everything in his power to pass along his message of LOVE PEACE FOUNDATION FAMILY.

here is a tribute podcast made in his memory with a good selection of his music.

If you'd like to help support his three amazing children, you can buy his album, as well as donate.

A beautiful piece was written about Randy, click here if you'd like to check it out.

Any other inquiries can be Googled, but please remember; Everyone has an opinion on what may or may not have happened. Whatever the true story is, all we can hold onto is the memories we hold of him and not worry so much about how he left us. I will remember him for his endless words of encouragement, his fantastic hugs, his mesmerizing energy and his inspiring music.

words beyond my common mind

Peace of mind. Thoughtful mistakes. calming breeze from your gentle expression. Laughter from smiles and play. Light, slight, quiet contentment. With ease, I smile at your inner beauty, your special essence. I appreciate your calmness, your kindness, your attention.

when i look at myself, I feel my beauty, my love, my spirit and my joy. My happiness spreads across the oceans and out into the universe like a never ending vine. I sweep the earth and feed the souls of those lucky enough to stop and listen to my kind voice. I am special, I am kind, I am wonderfully strong in my mind-body-soul. Sit and enjoy my sacred being. I want to spread the positivity as far as I can. We are all stronger as one. Unity is the pure essence of peace.

Love yourself and others will follow.

WE ARE ALL ONE

I have recently started reading the book The Path of the DreamHealer, by a young man who only goes by Adam. He deals with the quantum world of energy healing.

I am unsure of how this book got in my possession as I am pretty positive I did not purchase it. This is not the first instance I have had with self help books in my possession. They have a weird way of finding me and of showing themselves at the times when I am ready to receive them.

The DreamHealer is all about healing yourself; harnessing the power from within. We all have the capabilities, it's up to us if we choose to use it. I have been on a personal journey for six years now, one of self growth and empowerment. The more I learn about myself, the more confidence and love I have for myself.

I have always been a human that wants to share anything and everything (that has helped me) that i come across with others. I often struggle at finding ways to do so without feeling as if I am intruding or saying that someone else is unable to do so for themselves. Sometimes I feel this blog is not only a way for me to express myself fully without threat of being rejected, but also as a platform that may just inspire someone or help them to realize that thing they've been looking for to unlock the next part of their own journey. We are all connected, or as Adam says "We are all one". Why not lean on our neighbor for support or talk to our friend about our secret struggles. If we are hurting, then surely the ones closest to us are hurting as well. So if we heal, we in turn help others heal. Let's be healers, not victims. We are unified, we are alike, we are one.

to be, is to..

to be understood is not to have people know your story
to be heard is not to speak the loudest or longest
to matter is not to have everyone know your name
to be considered is not to have the most impressive experiences
to be respected is not to out-do or put others down

to be..

..is to be and nothing more

a pleasing smile

the pain created from minds worn down to weakness
placing obstacles in your path made from lying thieves
to be born with everlasting potential
infinite options and unstoppable ability

to be a human
to be born to this earth perfect
to somehow forget or to not believe it at all
the shame of the blind, for all the beauty we hold

the beauty not of what we're told to be
but that beauty that comes from within
the one people stop in awe and can't seem to put their fingers on
an unmistakeable glow
a highlight to your already perfect smile

the true essence of beauty is a woman
free from self restraints of ideals from unhappy souls

never do to please
but please to do

letting it flow

just let it flow,
let it go
and you're the one walking away with the smile

flowing intentions


place the peace
a droplet in your palm
fumbles through gaping fingers
no way to keep water
it flows how it wants

from this life to the next

the love that sprang from our bodies
that day,
your day,
our day for remembrance

we love you so
that we celebrated
we danced,
we sang,
we smiled.

for not the thought of your departure that was in our minds
but all the moments before
the ones rich with color and energy
the ones blasted with love and support
the ones cherished for all your positivity; your goal to share

in our memories
and those of others,
we will keep your image strong and true
your accomplishments we choose to keep
your love we choose to hold onto
your legacy we choose to pass through

this life,
next life,
all life
