Goddess of the Tides Legend
Who am I that lifts the sea,
that draws the tides and draws on thee?
I am all that no one sees,
yet brings the mountains to their knees.
Who am I whose will ordains
the rising sun and falling rains?
I am all which none defy -
not earth, nor moon, nor endless sky.
Who am I that dwells beyond,
where all are drawn, but none have gone?
I am that which holds the void -
where worlds are made, and stars destroyed.
I am here within the sphere
forever far, yet touching near
Who am I where all things go?
Not space, nor time, nor cosmos know.
Did You Know?
"As much as 80% of all disease
and illness in the U.S. is
initiated
or aggravated by stress
in the form of anger."

"Do good
and leave behind you a monument of virtue,
which the storms of time can never destroy.
Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy

Greek and Roman Mythology
My beautiful winged-horse, Pegasus.
All about Pegasus!
In Greek mythology, Pegasus was the son of Poseidon and the gorgon Medusa. According to
the story, it was impossible for any mortal to catch Pegasus. With the help of Athena, who
gave him a golden bridle in a dream, the hero Bellerophon caught and tamed the mighty
creature. Pegasus helped him on many of his heroic labors and adventures until Bellerophon
decided one day to visit the gods on Olympus. Because of Bellerophon's arrogance, the winged
horse threw the hero off and abandoned him.
Pegasus has been a very popular theme for art since the time of ancient Greece. He appears
on the coinage of Corinth and other Greek city - states as well as the coins of several
Roman emperors. He has been a symbol of strength, swiftness, and the special bond between
a man or woman and a favorite horse from ancient times until the present.

Smiling Is Infectious
Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him .
I thought about that smile,
Then I realized its worth,
A single smile just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected -
Let's start an epidemic quick
And get the world infected!"
