(So, for the children on that road…)

Don’t let the wilderness scare you and never fear the work of the Soul. Protect your Soul for it is the essence of who you are, how God sees you in His Greater Vision, the eyes we use to seek our true selves, the pathway back to God. Don’t let the fears of self or fears of others hold you back from doing good works, from being true to your heart as God knows your heart, and from finding happiness and being content. Listen to your inner wisdom and voice, keep an ear to the ground and the other towards Heaven for maybe God will answer a prayer or an Angel will sing. The Waters are deep and the Ground is fertile. God loves to listen to songs in the fields for they are the Prayers of Mobility sung in harmony with the wind and help to push the clouds aside to let His Sun shine down. I know this Truth; God makes a path for all His children, keeps watch above, holds us in the palm of His Hands, and Jesus walked the footsteps.

God Bless our Paths and Keep the Faith,

Jane
Dear Daisy

Lyrics

“Dear Daisy”
Based on the book “Dear Daisy” by Jane Marla Ver Dow

Though the years they may change us

Some things in life forever remain

Like those years we spent together

Living life its joys and pain

(Verse 2)

You taught me all ’bout honesty

How the truth would set me free

Like a teacher you inspired me

Each day beneath that Cherry tree

(Chorus)

Now “Dear Daisy” as I write this letter

Though eyes can’t see I know you’re there

I feel your presence surround me

Your angel wings as they brush my hair

(Verse 3)

Your smile my summer mornin’ Sun

Your wisdom my guide no end

Your actions more than words spoken

Showed me I had a special friend

(Chorus)

Now “Dear Daisy” as I write this letter

Though eyes can’t see I know you’re there

I feel your presence surround me

Your angel wings as they brush my hair

(Bridge)

Say everything now there’s a reason

Not in ours but in God’s time

A path our lasting friendship

Enough love to last a lifetime

(Chorus)

Now “Dear Daisy” as I write this letter

Though eyes can’t see I know you’re there

I feel your presence surround me

Your angel wings as they brush my hair

“Dear Daisy”

Author Brooks Tenney, Killing Mauritius (novel) depicts Islamic terrorism with the storyline set in the Indian Ocean. New Silk Road (novel) centered in Central Asia, deals with Afghanistan drug traffic reach to the world. The Ten Thousand Things is set along China’s ancient Silk Road and writes an account of China’s activities in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Always an entertaining author-speaker, Brooks Tenney draws his writing and topics from his engineer training and professional background (Xerox, GE, and Chance Vought Aviation) and the author’s imagination to create his action-adventure fiction. In addition to the author’s crisp and entertaining writing, the reader is taken into the storyline by Tenney’s extensive topic and setting research. “Timely” and “thought-provoking”, all three books are great adult reads so well written as fiction, to cross the reader’s mind of the possibilities of nonfiction in our modern world.

Sad. The exploitation of children in the name of religion. In the name of Allah or God, does it matter? Lured or sold, taught or trained, poverty and vulnerability, always why.

If the World could live by one verse, my choice would be Micah 6:8 … “to be fair and just and merciful, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Does it really need to be more complicated than that?

Book Synopsis “Dear Daisy”

Dear Daisy, nonfiction, reads as life is presented day-to-day and by seasons. The author, a gifted storyteller invites the reader into the world and relationship between an illiterate migrant woman sharing her wisdom with a boss man’s child under cherry and apple trees during the early 1960′s. Daisy, an Angel on Earth years later mystically reappears an Angel from Heaven to guide the grown child on her pathway back Home.

Dear Daisy tells a story 2000 years old yet reminds us how challenges continue to play out and that we each contribute to writing the story.

As the story begins, the author caught in a personal struggle of survival under conditions felt oppressive, writes to Daisy. As the reflective search for self and path unfolds, the 9-11-01 story strikes as a Holy War between extremists of Nations. Before the dust settles, 10-28-01 brings world chaos personal. Living the aftermath, the author struggles to forgive and declares through writing an Epistle as part of her emancipation pathway that violence as a rightful expression and worship of God is not the God of her faith.

…And why there will be “Rising Sparrow” …for the children I write.
