THE BALANCE OF LIFE ( Poem Video) by Brian Hoff
January 2024
Hey Everyone! My mother read this poem to me and wanted to read it to you.
The poem "The Balance of Life" is a prayer inspired by Ecclesiastes and
I hope the words lift your hearts to meet life's challenges with love and compassion
The Balance of LIfe ( Poem Video )
by Brian Hoff ( www.BrianHoffBooks.com)
A Prayer Inspired by Ecclesiastes
Beautiful Piano by LesFM promoted by Chosic
Poem from New American Revised Edition Catholic Youth Bible from Saint Mary's Press
The Balance of Life
God of all seasons,
Help me to remember the sun when the rain is falling.
Help me to remember the rain when the sun is shining. Teach me to respect the seniors when I am a sophomore. Teach me to respect the sophomore when I’m a senior. When I win in the field, let me remember the times I lost. When I lose on the field, let me remember the times I won. Guide me to appreciate studying when I’m taking a hard test. Guide me to appreciate the hard tests when I’m studying. During times with friends, remind me of times alone.
During times alone, remind me of times with friends.
Help me to live all moments and remember
There is a balance to life.
Amen

TURN ( Official Music Video) by Brian Hoff
TURN by Brian Hoff
Inspired by The Byrds song from 1965
Lyrics: Words from Ecclesiastes
Musical Arrangement by Joe Gautrey
ASCAP: 2023
Lyrics:
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rain, a time of sow
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven

*Buddha once said a bird needs two wings to fly and that wisdom is the wings of compassion.
Love is a bird with two wings. One wing is wisdom, the other one is compassion. If either wing is broken, the bird cannot fly.

00K9 Animated Comedy Parody TV Series Inspired by the author's Real Dog
Introducing...
00K9 is an animated tv series parody centered on a spy dog detective who goes on missions solving crimes and mysteries in a wild animal-human fantasy world.
00K9 ( Pronounced Double Oh K 9 ) The series is also a tribute to the real dog Cosmo who inspired the concept.
Created and produced by Brian Neil Hoff the who is also the founder and director of the Palm Springs Intl. Animation Festival. The purpose of this campaign is to raise the funds to create a 12 minute pilot episode of "AGENT 00K9" that can be distributed on various international online and mobile platforms.
The series was originally inspired by Brian's dog Cosmo in 2001 when he looked out his kitchen window and thought he saw Cosmo spying on the neighbor house. Over the years he created a series of cartoon books with veteran concept artist Alfie Vann who did the illustrations for the animated films "Madagascar" and "The Prince of Egypt," a kids spy watch, 3D printed models, over a hundred characters for the series, and a cool 3D teaser trailer. The series pilot will also be
co-authored by Jorjeana Marie who has been a comedy writer for Saturday Night Live .
Brian has held book signings and benefits over the years for the Palm Springs Police K-9 Unit and the Palm Springs Animal Shelter. Cosmo used to join him a the many book signings and benefits but died in 2015. To honor his memory, he created a caricature of him who will also be a hero in the series.
Brian's goal would be to continue to donate proceeds of the series sales to local and national Police K-9 Units. Brian hopes to inspire kids and families to laugh and learn valuable lessons. For the past 17 years Brian has had a dream of producing this fun animated TV series and would love
your support!
00K9
Animated Parody TV Series
Synopsis :
Follow canine spy "Agent 00K9" and be whisked away to a world of fun animal-human characters in 'who dun it' mysteries. Using state-of-the-art spy gadgets and his own cunning instincts for adventure, 00K9 plies skills of detection across the city of Furrywood, a wild and woolly metropolis filled with animals of all shapes, sizes and schemes!
