nobody knows what true love is
I've found someone
to whom I devoted all my life
you gave me advice and made me happy
each and every time you stood by me
but when you said to me one day
it is time I have to go away
I could not believe what I heard
you are to young, it's not time yet
and then the moment came you said goodbye
I just stood there and cried
I still can not believe
that you left my life to leave
you have stayed in my heart
from my mind you'll never part

If love had wings I flew away with your heart far away across the ocean. My heart hangs upside down, my head runs like a top. I'm so lonely without you, life without love is living with grief. Give me your hand, give them all to me and tell me briefly, you can not live without me. Come dance with me slow, but do it light. And dance close to me, so I feel your heart in me a minute. Let our love wings and fly with me where love comes alive. Tender as the night, my heart in your hands as fragile as glass. A love that never ended without.
The days before Christmas are dark and cold. Outside in the dark night, a star shines with a wonderful power. A white Christmas in a dream, with dozens of lights in a tree. Very quietly, noiselessly down tiny white flakes from the dark gray sky Hey it's not a dream but t'is Christmas light laughs at us. In our house "a small tree" your sparebos. Is so far away. Small spruce you did not know that one day you would be with us. Only lonely people on the streets, ,Christmas for them disappeared. Their Christmas tree is empty and bare. No ,gay people around. You gave way to "that tree" in the stall and the baby. Give them a place next to "that tree". Beautiful words and best wishes, bring you happy now that lonely people
The health benefits of consuming water kefir are endless. They are a natural supplier of probiotics to our digestive track. Probiotics refers to the healthy bacteria that usually feeds on the “bad” unhealthy bacteria in our stomach and intestines. Bacterial overgrowth can lead to many illnesses some of which include fungi, yeast infections, indigestion, obesity, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s Disease, skin disorders, etc. By drinking water kefir you will bring balance to your internal microflora. Many people take a probiotic supplement daily for this particular reason but I prefer to drink the water kefir. It’s much tastier and more affordable in the long run.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens, a leading expert in the raw food community, writes in his book “Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine“:
“Kefir grains produce right-rotating L(+) lactic acid, which is an important constituent of the human body. It is particularly important in the prevention of cancer and has been used experimentally with success in the treatment of cancer. In addition, right-rotating lactic acid may help maintaining healthy functioning of the heart. According to some researchers, the cells of the heart muscle obtain their energy primarily from right-rotating lactic acid.”
Another health advantage of water kefir is that people who do not wish to consume dairy or have a vegan type diet may find that water kefir provides the living probiotics without the need for dairy or tea cultured products, like kombucha.Vegans also may like to know that through the fermentation process kefir becomes an excellent source of vitamin B12, and is high in vitamins B1 and B6.
Diabetics, in particular, could greatly benefit from drinking kefir. Since the finished product, if bottled, will produce a carbonated beverage, it provides an alternative to sweet soda drinks. In that sense, anyone from children to adults can enjoy water kefir guilt-free.
How to make water kefir
Making water kefir is super easy and fun. To help illustrate the process I have created two video tutorials – one on how to make the basic water kefir recipe, and the other on how to make flavored water kefir. You can watch them below.
Tools Required:
- Plastic strainer
- Plastic measuring spoons
- Plastic spoon
- Measuring cup
- 8-cup (1/2 gallon) Ball Mason jar
- 2-3 Glass pitchers or Ball Mason jars
Notes: it’s very important that you NEVER use any metal utensils or tools when handling living cultures such as kefir grains. They don’t like metal and may be adversely affected if exposed to it.
Ingredients needed:
- Filtered or spring water
- Water kefir grains
- Organic cane sugar
- Sucanat, raw sugar or coconut palm sugar
- Unsweetened, unsulfured dried fruit (apricots, figs or raisins)
- Organic lemon (optional)
Notes: never use tap water because it contains chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride. They will kill the grains. Make sure the dried fruit doesn’t have any sulfur dioxide added to it. Many conventional brands add this chemical to keep the dried fruit looking bright and fresh.

Basic water kefir formula:1 Cup of water
- 1 Tbsp. of sugar
- 1 Tbsp. of kefir grains
- Few pieces of dried fruit
Notes: The ratio of 1-1-1 is what you need to follow.
My video tutorial recipe:
- 6 Cups of water
- 6-8 Tbsp. kefir grains
- 4 Tbsp. organic cane sugar
- 2 Tbsp. coconut palm sugar
- 4 pieces of dried apricots and figs
- 2 lemon wedges
Notes: When dividing the sugar always add more organic cane sugar and less sucanat, raw or coconut palm sugar. Kefir grains thrive primarily on the organic cane sugar. The other sugar and dried fruit are added to give them additional nutritional support their growth.

We all need attention, that is as clear as daylight. As human beings we all want warmth, a little warmth from each other.
Someone who does listen to you, someone who does talk to you. That's what matters for every human being.
Take your time time to look to the stars, open your heart to a good friend and this good friend are you.
Life does not only bring good news or scary dreams. These are moments we start dreaming of a place we cannot reach. However, you brought us to that place of our dreams. There we learned that God is our lovely father and mother whom we can praise and thank for all the beauty and the love of friends.
For the kindness we may experience each day, for the joy through serving the others, and for having a noble friend like you.
May everyone respond to your blessing of love and may this kind of peace embrace each who walks the path of life.
Whole of mankind we keep within the golden gleam of Rev. Moon and wesee the power of God's Son at work in the hearts of many. We perceivethe sparkling star with the shape of Christ in the middle, emanatinghis power, his spirit and his love over whole of mankind. We bringall who have called for help or healing under this golden healinglight. May the blessing of God be upon this work.Persistent and beautiful tuned in the light of God and the power ofGod's angels, we think about all of the people who are sick andsuffer. Hence peace will prevail on earth by our cooperation andlove. Let's unite all of the nations as Rev. Moon is teaching us.It's like the sun which seems so far away and nonetheless its warmthis so near to our heart. Let's share this warmth with all who arecold so that they may also learn to receive love and warmth."

From the sky He looks down on His World Sees the top of the mountains,the prairies, the lakes, the people who live there, the earth. The green grass made place for a thousand stones.Nature lost, no more woodlands, no more of their whispering to hear. A reflexion of My face in the water .We may see again the blue, bright sky music may sound all around us,the wonderful message that we are not alone.
M, a letter from a word you hear in all languages. The M of Mother, today and in the past. Mother is the word where life comes from. Mother is the word that belongs to every child. With you we can pour out our hearts, still never do we hear you sigh. We will always be there for you, even though we are no longer small. Being a mother is a heavy task, with various emotions coming and going. Positive or negative emotions, in heart and mind, provoked by children who are coming to you again and again. Troubled by old people’s sickness, makes that she is sometimes lost in memories. Today mother celebrates her birthday once again. Thanks heavens for she still looks great. One day a year of attention for each other, it may seem a bit strange, but this was the little text I wrote for you.

Life is as a golden silk thread,so frail stressed and yet flexible no turn ever to be forgotten.
To laugh, to cry, happiness or sadness, this is our thread of life.
During our life on earth this golden thread connects our mind and body.
Soon or later however, our golden thread of life will snap.
The world slips out of our broken silk threadThe realization arises I have to let go this beautiful earthly existence.
And again we return to the question if God created us or if we made Him great.
As such we return to this golden silk thread.
Your life started as a baby, fragile and small.
Of that nice baby I could be the daddy.
We were looking forward to you so much every day a little more,
born from love for each other. Born from God’s hand, together
we adopt you in our love country.
Full of dreams about your nice future that will come. Once there was a cute
little fairy who always did pleasant things. When you have your birthday,
you come running up for a big kiss and perhaps you can make a little wish.
Daddy
Time will teach us who we are, will take us where we need to be. Even though it slips through our fingers, there has to be time. Likewise our heart is as time, it ticks on and on and allows us to live without being quiet. When the sky turns dark and the heart makes no more noise, there is silence… At one’s wit’s end is the one who leaves life. Then only do you feel what life is like. Also try to warm his hart, for that he may embrace life again. There is no place for hatred and jealousy in a loving heart. There are people who dance through life, others progress only
painstakingly. If you belong to the latter group, try to colour your life so that you can perk up your life. Give true life to your heart all your life, as a rare flower which you have to nurture. Enjoy this beauty and try to caress, to charm, to embrace, each sun ray, each flourishing flower. Welcome it wholeheartedly, this will make you think positively. This inner strength will awaken deep in you and will make you feel that your heart is always vigilant
I’d like to pick the stars
I know I will succeed in doing so
I would keep them in our hearts
Especially for you we keep them apart
They would make our eyes radiate
And bring out the best in us
Afterwards we want to offer them to you
They will be a souvenir of us to you
As long as the stars keep shining
We will keep dancing and singing
Until all together we embrace the entire world
True friends you get to know with time
Even though we do not dance well, they never want to lose us
Let us live without time, then our joy will for sure be real
