The Greater Western New York Paranormal Society at Cazenovia Library

I adore experiencing everything in life, and Sunday night was the coolest and strangest experience I ever had. 

 

 

I were invited to a paranormal investigation with the Greater WNY Paranormal Society in support of Cazenovia Community Resource Center, the only independent library in Buffalo, one I wholeheartedly support and have been attending since childhood. 

The library and surrounding areas have repeated and unexplained instances along with Buffum Street/Red Jackets burial ground nearby. 

 

 

This is the team at work on another location: 

 

Stay tuned for more from myself and Greater Western New York Paranormal Society, extremely interesting when science meets spirituality. 

Be on the lookout for their next episode, highlighting what we all found and check out both pages that are linked above.

 

 

*The Greater Western New York Paranormal Society is a non profit organization that is dedicated to finding scientific evidence of what is currently unexplained phenomenon. They believe that what is referred to as "Paranormal or Supernatural" things will someday be explained through the natural laws of science.

How Can I Not Love You?

How can I not love you

you
just
bring
happy
thoughts
like

birds trilling in Spring
after the last snowfall
just like rain as it falls
quenching the deep thirst of this Earth

like the soil
rich and deep
with stories of our forefathers
and signals of smoke
rising from campfires
lost in the velvet night 
like souls rebirthing

every
single
second

How can I not love you
like I love myself
as I love the sun
as she shines her knowing eye
and the moon
as she keeps watch over our tired souls

How can one despise such beautiful sights
feelings
emotions
thoughts
passions
and states of simply
being?

For to not love you
is to not love myself
and to despise the sun and moon
the dirt and Earth
the canyons and mountains
rivers and valley

and the very edge
of a solitary blade of grass
as I watch it waltz
beneath a most pristine Autumnal sky

How can I not love you

when
you
just
bring
happiness

to
me.
