A New World to Begin...

I truly do believe...

That a new world is about to begin...

People are rising up around the globe...

To bring about peace, love, goodness to everyone...

From Aleppo being freed...

To the Water Protectors at Standing Rock North Dakota...

People are marching...are standing...are making their stand for a bright and beautiful world...

From the Bolivarians in Venezuela to fight the beast of the West...

To Amazonian tribes standing united protecting their pristine lands, peoples, and water...

The world is coming collectively together to usher in what is meant to be...

The hungry powers of greed and war can no longer dominate...

For only love and goodness shall be our fate...

Believe in this, for in my heart, I know this to be true...

There is yet much more work to be accomplished...

Yet, the wheels of change are in motion...

And, this motion, this wheel, my dear friends of this beautiful world...

Will continue to move mountains of goodness for all...

Let beauty reign within your heart...

Let love and courage be your guide...

With great love to all...Maria Juarez Beam (Boheme)

Thoughts and Beautiful Mexico...

I need to take a break from the madness of the elections happening in the United States right now, November 8, 2016. The polls have now closed. I truly cannot believe that we have the two candidates that we do. One a great war monger, liar, hideous criminal record, of which she receives no punishment, also, she has a hideous human rights abuse record all over the world, also of which she receives no punishment, at least not in this world. I am certain her punishment awaits her somewhere in this universe.

The other, well, he is just plain HIDEOUS. A bigot, a racist, no heart, no compassion...period. If he does win, I hope he can prove me wrong...that a big order!!! He wants to build a WALL along the Mexican border. I have some news for him, and for the people who support this in the States,...if this wall is built, the United States will cease to function. THE COUNTRY DEPENDS SO MUCH UPON THE LABORS AND TAXES OF THOSE FROM MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA. Countries of which we abuse in their own lands!!!

Well, let me talk now about some really beautiful things...for one Mexico. I have made this home and I truly love it here.

Every new day brings me surprises and beautiful new gifts.

Let me talk about today and tonight...just to give you an idea. Just as I left my apartment, it began to rain lightly. And, it is a cold rain today. One of the many things that I love here in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, is that when it does rain...life carries on. No one is bothered by the rain. The music still plays, vendors still sell their goods en las calles...(in streets) and people are enjoying a glass of wine or their wondrous food in outdoor cafes. People are greeting one another with "buenas tardes"..."buenas nochas."

As I was walking back home I decided to have a glass of vino tinto...red wine at my favorite plaza, Plaza San Fernando. I sat outdoors with others, and as always, we engage in conversation. Another wonderful thing about Mexico...everyday new conversations and new people to meet. Some become good friends and some we hug if we pass again. Tonight, I came upon a wondrous bakery that I know ever so well and I, of course, stepped in to buy some delicious pan dulce...sweet bread. Three young woman speaking English came in and we began to talk. One was from the States, one from France, and one from Ireland...they didn't know each other before, they met in Mexico City and they decided to travel together to Guanajuato...another great thing about Mexico! The two women from Europe were simply amazed at how fantastic it is in Mexico. (: It was so delightful to speak with them, and oh, how they delighted upon the beautiful breads.

So, now back to the apartment greeting many along the way...I LOVE MEXICO and I hope someday all the world shall also...

As always, all my love to all my lovely readers here at beamthelightbethechange

Musical Selection: Mexico en La Piel...Alexandro Dhanke

It's a lovely song and a lovely video

I Have a Son and He is Beautiful...

And he was born this day...

He is no longer the tiny boy you see here...

He is a grown man and he is beautiful...

I could say so, so much about my son and the life we lived when he was home with me...

But yet, for tonight, I simplY wanted to share with you...

I have a son and he is BEAUTIFUL...

You are my sonshine. ~Author Unknown

You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes. ~Walter M. Schirra, Sr.

Son, you outgrew my lap, but never my heart. ~Author Unknown

I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH MY SON...

Thank you so much my dear readers for always allowing me to share...

Love, Maria Juarez Beam (Boheme)

Beautiful Boy - John Lennon (subtitulado)

PRINCE ROYCE - Stand By Me (Original Official Video High Quality)

I can see clearly now- with lyrics(:

I Simply Need to Write Tonight...

There are nights when I do...

Simply need to write...

Yes, it has been a while...

Yet, I can no longer put off what lies in my heart and in my soul...

Today, I have read and researched so much about what is happening in the world...

I find it so absolutely incredible as to what is transpiring...

If you have been a reader of my writings...then you know much of my political stance, my fight for Palestine, my aborrance of war, my fight for the poor, the disposed, the oppressed...my shear disgust of how my country, the United States behaves in this world...and that I am a revolutionist...

No single person can no longer afford the luxury of denying the injustices that exist...RISE UP AND RESIST...!!!

Truth may be difficult to handle, but truth is the only weapon that will set humanity free...

NO weapons of war will do this, no dropping of bombs, no killing and no maiming will do what truth can do...

Truth has no religion, has no color...it only exists for us to grab, capture and put it into the deepest part of our souls...

Our hearts are not meant to accept hatred, to accept discrimination, to attack differences in religion, to judge one by color of skin, or to accept "I am or my country is the best, immigrants go home, "let's go to war," "this government will be toppled"...and the such, oh I could say so much more...

Humanity, it's time...it's time...it's time...it's time to wake up and change, to return to the collective and leave behind the individual...

The world is turning...so change is coming...it be best that you awake before the storms of transformation arrive...

For then you will be ever more uplifted and evolved into the new dawn, the new world that is to come...

A world of goodness, of love, of kindness, of shear beauty, simplicity, abundance for all...a world of peace...a world of joy...

My love to all...

Earth, Wind & Fire - "Be Ever Wonderful" (w/lyrics)

The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Return to Innocence- Enigma (Lyrics)

Just a Simple Poem...

And when you look

above, do you hope to

see the peace of a dove...?

And

when you look down, do you see your feet

walking your path, your destiny...?

And when you look straight ahead, do you see what is in front of

you, or do you see what is to come...?

It has been a while since I have last written so I thought that I would share this "simple" poem that I discovered I had written in a notebook while eating my wondrous dinner tonight. So there it is for all of you my beloved readers, so very short and I hope you find it somewhat sweet...:)

I thank you with all of my heart for reading...

Remember, always follow YOUR heart on your path of life.

Always yours,

Maria Juarez Beam (Boheme)

Alicia Keys - New Day

I Never Knew That Seagulls Yawned...

...Nor that they stretched their little legs...

It seemed to me...that a new day had dawned...

Lying on Ice Age, granite boulders, with a hue of pink...

On this day I truly needed time to...simply...think...

Alone with the water, the wind, and the sky...

It seemed as if time was standing still and I was gifted with the peace, to not ask..."why"?..

Why, is life so painful, personally and, for all the earth?..

Together with the miracles of nature...I felt a new birth...

A new birth inside of me...birthing is painful and a joy...

A cleansed mind, a purified soul, and an innocent heart I can now envoy...

It is amazing when one takes time to be alone...

To take time, to be with the elements, lying upon a stone...

I never knew that seagulls yawned...

Until this day...a new day dawned...

May everyday bring a new day, a fresh beginning, the same you and a new you...

"I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning."

J. B. Priestley
