Think of all the fish swimming in the ocean. Think of all the fish eggs on the edge of the ocean.

Think of the flowers which have roots all the way down in the ground. Think of the rain pouring down on the roots making the flowers grow. Think of the sun that gives light to the earth and that helps the flowers grow.

Think of all the lives intertwined with your own. Think of all the lives you have changed. Young and old we have influenced each other.

Feel the gritty shell. See the waves crashing. See the sun glitting off the water.

Imagine flying up above the green trees into the great wide blue. Imagine flying up to heaven as a angel. Imagine singing in the angel chior. You sing beautifully.

Part 5

Elizabeth went back to the distant past before she stole the necklace. She had run away from home and now lived on the street with a bunch of other people who were orphaned or had run away from home. All of them were hungry. Elizabeth promised she would get them something to eat. She sneaked up to the jewelry store window and looked inside. There was a diamond necklace sitting on a blue, silk cushion. Elizabeth looked for a rock and found one. She through the rock at the glass store front and the glass shattered. Elizabeth took the diamond necklace and ran to sell it. She thought she would get away with selling it to a con man. As she was about to hand the necklace over, she went forward in time again.

Imagine you are going to a costume ball. There are multicolored dresses everywhere. You are wearing a white dress with a white mask on.You are the swan princess from Swan Lake.

Watch how the bird flies through the air followed by it's ducklings. They are flying to the South for the winter. Watch how they splash down on the river.

This one reminds me of the movie called Mr. Poppers Penguins. It is quite funny. I think you'll like it.

See the snake catching it's prey. See the mice trying to get away from it. See the snake opening it`s wide jaws to swallow the mouse whole.

Part 4

When Charlie and Elizabeth got to Charlie's home, Elizabeth told him her story. She didn't tell him her real name though. Charlie found out that she was from the distant past. She had never seen a carriage before.
"So what's in your pocket?" Asked Charlie.
I've told you it's nothing." Said Elizabeth.
Elizabeth spent the night on Charlie's couch. In the morning before Charlie was up, Elizabeth ran away from the house and was caught by the police. This time the police took her to the police station and questioned her.
"Do you know this girl?" One of them asked.
The girl was in dirt and filthy rags. It was Elizabeth.
"No, I don't," Elizabeth said for she didn't recognize herself.
At that moment a policeman saw something shiny in her jeans for she had ripped them when she was running away.
"What's that shiny thing in your pocket?" The policeman asked.
At that point the diamond necklace fell out of Elizabeth's pocket all together.
Elizabeth picked it up.
"Where did you get that necklace?" Asked one of the policemen.
Elizabeth couldn't explain where she got the necklace. The policemen assumed she stole it and asked her to hand it over. As she was about to give it to them she went back to after she had stolen the diamond necklace.

I don't believe you haven't lied before Owen. I think you must have lied sometime in your life Owen.

That is a funny story Rita. Did your parents ever find out that you lied about your shoes? I'm glad you went to an art class tonight. You will have to tell me how it went.

See the trees in the forest. How they sway back and forth and talk to each other. See the light and dark green leaves on the branches. How they rustle in the breeze. See the blue sky.

Think of color spreading over the page. Think of a rainbow with clouds in the background. A pot of gold just waiting to be touched.

Imagine you start drawing for the first time. You pick a color, then off you go. You draw a beautiful landscape. You draw light and dark green stems. You draw red, pink, yellow flowers. You color in the deep blue sky.

Look up at the bright stars. Look up at Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. You won't be able to see them without a microscope.

I have always love dogs. My sisters haven't always loved dogs. I think it was because our first dog, Maggie barked a lot.

I have always wanted to be a wild animal. I think I would find humans scary. I would like to be a tiger or a lion. I would like to kill what I eat. What wild animal would you like to be?

Taste the fresh berries as they go in the elephant's mouth. Feel the comfortable grass as the elephant lays down to sleep. See the twinkling stars as they come out at night.

Her name was Marie but her real name was Jennifer. I wanted to be called two names that I remember. I wanted to be named Maria and Rose. I thought they were beautiful names. But now I like Jennifer. I also wanted to change my hair color to blond to match my best friend hair color. I think we all want to change ourselves at one point. If you could change anything about yourself what would it be?

See the rainbow seashells. Feel the sand under your feet as it flows into the ocean. Look up at the blue, blue sky and feel the warm sun as it gives light to the earth. Think of all the plants it gives life to. Think of all the berries the sun gives light to.

See the pink present and blue present. Feel the blue Tourmaline. Feel the yellow candle flame.

What do you mean bring light into someones life Rita? I think it means that you can bring hope and God into someones life.

I used to think I would runaway and lose all my things. I couldn't ever manage it. I would go to PPAC. I didn't want to live like this anymore. I wanted to be on my own and do what I want. Have you ever wanted to run away? Where would you go?

Feel your heart. Let your emotions run wild. Imagine watching Shrek for the first time. Imagine purple balloons. How they float up in the air. Imagine riding on the school bus with all those kids. Look at the sky with all the birds in it.  Feel the sun on your face.

I would love to be a princes, even though paparazzi would follow me around. I like to be in the spotlight and be alone too. I think we are all this way.

Dad you wouldn't remember Princess Diaries because you`ve never read it or watched the movie. It is your kind of book because its girly.

It was the time of year when people get together. My family usually gets together for Christmas. We had a wonderful time. Opening presents and talking. I miss it so much.

Taste the richness of wine, the deliciousness of mint chocolate chip ice cream, taste the sweetness of blackberries. See the buttercup in bloom, see the beautiful blue jay.

Yes, dad it is All Bodies Dance in my poem. All Bodies is so fun. You should try it. I am not the lamb of God, dad.

They climbed to the  top and slid all the way down. Do you remember Princess Diaries? How Mia and her mom slid down thew climbing wall. Did you ever want to be a princess?

Giving it her best she finally went to a dance group,

We dance to classical music,

We dance in wheelchairs,

Giving it her best she finally went to a dance group,
There are abled bodied people too,

They can walk and we can't,

Giving it her best she finally went to a dance group,
We do performances

We do different acts

Giving it her best she finally went to a dance group,

"The lamb who takes away the sin of the world." This one reminds me of the Lamb of God.

Smell the rose in bloom,smell the salt water the as the waves crash on the beach, smell the sweet scent of the lemen. see the violet of the flowers.

I have a new cross stitch for you today. It is very colorful and I like it. I like colorful things.

If I could turn back the wheels of time, I would change the way I speak to Anna. I would start communicating  right away with Jenny. I would try to communicate with my friends more at the very beginning. Now it`s hard to comunicate because i`m not used to it. I guess I could get used to it if I tried. What would you change if you could turn back the wheels of time?

I am that girl in my dreams. The inspiration for the poem came from a writing promp.

How did you become Christen Rita? I would love to learn sign language but I cant do the work.

See the rainbow colors. Feel the ocean breeze. See the dolphin springing up from the colors, see the red sunset, see the yellow and green flowers, see the purple and yellow dragon fire. Feel the heat.

Why do you like to learn new languages? What new language are you learning right now, Rita?

I cant draw faces. I would like to learn though. Do know of someone privately that can teach me how to draw faces, Barbra? If you dont thats ok.

When no one is around a little girl likes to dance,

When no one is around a little girl likes to dance

When no one is around a little girl likes to dance,

She dances ballet,

She goes to ballet school,

When no one is around a little girl likes to dance,

She is wonderful at ballet,

She is practicing for a performance,

When no one is around a little girl likes to dance,

She sees her parents in the audience,

She curtsies when everybody claps,

When no one is around a little girl likes to dance,

This piece is full iof different colors. The warm purple, the cold ice of the blue, the green of the forest. Taste the tingly of of the orange, the sour taste of the lemon. The red and pinks of the sunset.

I learned a lot this month. My favorite thing that I learned this month was when I learned that I can do two paintings in one day. What is your favorite thing that you learned?

No cross stitch today.

I really like this one. I used distortion in it. I felt really good when I made this one. I like drawing shapes. I think the yellow one looks like a plant. I think the pink one looks like baby Jesus in the cradle. I think the blue one looks like a woman holding a baby. I had fun doing this one.
