Life, Love & Freedom

its the small things in life ...

2012-01-04T01:59:00.003Z

It is the small things in life, the simple things in life that give us immense pleasure.
A baby's smile ~ eyes meeting ~ the breeze that gently passes by and kisses your cheek.
the first falling of snow ... did you know that every snowflake born is different from the next.
How amazing is that.

Let us all be strong in this new year ... give sometime to the Great Designer of Life.

Quote: It is not death that is the tradgedy of life, it is what you let die while you are alive.

(I do believe that is a good lesson for all of us)

Tis the New Year ... 2012

How the years pass you by

Within the twinkle of your eye

Imagine the wonder of your intricate mind

Storing all memories inside for you to find

Dear friends that have gone to pastures new

Friends that you loved and once knew

Parting of those you met and shared with care

No longer are their heartbeats there

We can command a moment in our lives to appear

Fleeting through the whirlwind passage and then dissappear

Wondering where you all are

Those near and in the mirage of afar

Perhaps we shall meet in barley fields

Yellow mellow flowing love yields

Whispers dance upon the wind

Birds of song will still sing

Tis a new year and life will go on.

The world today

What is happening in our world today, too much focus on the materialistic world which causes so much greed. I ask myself ... how much is enough.

Are we not able to be contented with that what we have ... than that we do not have.

It seems to me that it all has got out of hand. Let us stop, and be stilled and find that which is more prescious, Life. Life itself, embrace the now and share with others, love, caring and kindness. These are the things that will make our lives richer and fuller.

It Is Madness
It is madness if one interrupts one’s true reality to immerse oneself into the pleasures of the material world and dwell in fruitless amusements.
There are those lost in mass hypnotic states leaving them with a false sense of security. Unknowingly they do so. Follow like regimental sheep upon the marred and well trodden path.
Yet, in one’s own madness one chooses to walk leafy tree lined avenues. The simple act of sharing a seat with a beggar who has a similar pastime of pondering; and the delights of silently observing the world as it hurry’s sadly, madly by.
One would rather gaze upon the simple artist as his eye creates a scene of visionary beauty or listen to the great masters of music playing each note expressing love from within
It is insane
To say there is no time to stop and stare or any time to become aware. You have made divisions in your long sleep. You have tried to conquer life. And in your ignorance you have conquered nothing. Thus, in your increasing ignorance you have created further obstacles to enrich your sad and lonely life.
Yet, in my wisdom I believe there is hope for all. To awake blurry eyed from that what they thought was to this what the new and exciting world is now.

There is a certain time

Its funny how, we do not forget people we may not come often. Somewhere within our blogs we have all connected, we have been touched by words ... it's lovely!

Hope my absences will be shorter.

Keep well everyone.

Sunsets that were so beautiful as they unfold

Streaking Crimsons and yellowy golds

The black velvet sky of the night

Sparkling stars, exciting and bright

Warm air kissing your skin

Ripples of love from within

Staring up and into the universe

Intrepid travellers traverse

Sounds of the ocean moving to and fro

Under the moonlights silver glow

Dreaming of walking on the sands

Back home now in another land.

The Flower and the Bumble Bee - Unconditional Love

The intoxicated Bumble Bee

I'm posting this ... inspired by Mystic Rose

Something that has been in my email.

About friendship and its depths.

I hope that you all like it. Not sure who it is by.

Let's see if you send it back. We all know or knew someone like this!!
One day, when I was a freshman in high school,

I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.

His name was Kyle.

It looked like he was carrying all of his books.

I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?

He must really be a nerd.'

I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.

They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him..
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.'

They really should get lives.
' He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!'
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends
He said yes..
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!
' He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends..
When we were seniors we began to think about college.
Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never
be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship..
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd..
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great.
He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.
He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous!
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!'
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
' Thanks,' he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began
'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.
Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...
I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story.'
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
'Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable..'
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions..
With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.
God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.

Something to ponder on.

2010-09-04T17:45:00.004+01:00

Fame or self;
Which matters more?
Self or wealth;
Which is more precious?
Gain or loss;
Which is more painful?

Extract from Tao Te Ching

These words left me pondering ... in this world it is all about striving to be ... when there is no need for we are Be ing. Self is more important.

Fear is our Limitations

2010-08-30T20:23:00.007+01:00

Digital art by Marie Moore

You have to choose what you want to do
Then put this into action.

The choice has to be there, something stirs within and you can feel it.

I love that feeling, and you just know it is right, and you just know that Being is there with you.

Have you ever dreamnt it and then done it. Watch it unfold in the physical world.

We are all wonderful beings ... but we limit ourselves through our own fear.

Fear is our Limitation

Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.
Michael Pritchard

Stand on my Soapbox day!

God still gives us the sunshine for free, and the apples, and this land that we walk on, and the air, but there are those that want to sell you these things.
Why?
There are those that play God with our lives and our crops. Why?
Why is it that people still think they can fight fire with fire as in wars. Why?
The hungry people of the world, when there is stashes of food and grains going to waste. Why?

The answer is pure Greed and Power.

Our world could be made better if we all found compassion to help our fellow men, and to find the solutions for the problems.

Quote: "Impossible only means that you haven't found the solution yet.”

Importance of caring

Necessaries — food, clothing, shelter, medical attention, basic education

All that goes on outside of you

A fairy came visiting

ALWAYS BELIEVE IN THE UNBELIEVABLE.
I have found that over the past year my visits here have been less frequent.
It is awful, for this is what I love doing, being creative ... learning about people.
All that goes on outside of you tends to take over, and one leaves no time for self.
Self is very important, for if the self is happy and in good health then all that is around you can be tackled with ease.
Sometimes I think we shroud ourselves, and one cannot see clearly, solutions are blocked out.
Look to the inner source, look to God and whispers your fears to Him. The solutions will come, maybe not in the way we hope, but in the way which is right and fitting for us.
I hope that I can continue to come back to this place of meeting with others.
Hugs for you

Time for Self ... Time for Being

2009-09-15T10:39:00.002+01:00

Leisure
William Henry Davies
What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

Are you giving yourself time? Do you have to rush? ... Stop and notice the beauty all around you.

Stop reading the newspapers ... give your money to charity ... chillout ... take up a hobby

Quotes:If you want to be happy, be. ~Leo TolstoyHappiness is never stopping to think if you are.

~Palmer SondrealMost people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.

~Robert AnthonyThe best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

~Mark TwainIf only we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.

~Edith Wharton Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place. But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.

Who are we?

2009-09-01T16:12:00.002+01:00

Do we know who we are?

Do we know where we are going?

Do we know our purpose in Life?

Gosh Folks!

Not realised I had not been here since February.
I have been so absorbed in images and writing blogs seemed to of drifted down to the bottom of the pile. I thinks it's time just to take pen in hand once again.

I see Don and Floots seem to be doing everything ... I don't know how they do it. Wonder men.
Thanks to anyone that has been popping in.
Its time to attempt to read some your works.

Hugs for you all.

The Mystic's heart is filled with Love for all

He will lend his hand to you upon the path if you fall

His work is never ever complete nor done

The Mystic always has time for His Wizardry fun

He teaches you to love all your brothers

The true Mystic teaches of God's Love and no other.

Extract of Mystic's in Love

The true mystic will never be understood, and those honoured as saints were likely, then and now, to be remembered more for what they accomplished (or for what their intercession is thought to obtain for their devotees!) than for their mysterious and often troubling focus on the divine. Many a mystic, Francis of Assisi being a prime example, is gifted in expression, yet the fullness of their union with God leaves us puzzled. Total unity goes beyond the senses and the intellect, and the greatest of poets is rendered silent by the inability to fully share the inexpressible.
Christian mysticism sees growth in spirituality as involving an ever deepening, personal relationship with God. The mystic, whose longing for a total bond with the Beloved, is not seeking nothingness, nor to “find the God within.” His Lover is also a Person, albeit one Divine. Since true contemplation is a gift of grace from God Himself, the mystic remains fully (and, perhaps, anxiously) aware that his own accomplishments and efforts cannot attain this union.

Love

2009-02-14T08:12:00.003Z

Lend me your heart for awhile
And the warmth of your smile
As I whisper softly in your ear
You are my strength that takes away the fear
You are like the sun to me that brightens up my day
You give hope and understanding in every way
You are my heart beat that ticks every hour
You are that beautiful raindrop upon the softness of a flower
In my darkest moments you are the moon that gives me light
You are that eagle that takes me soaring high in flight
When you kiss me you fill me with desire
You rekindle love within me and light my fire
Your smile and honest words of encouragement
Gives me that feeling that you are heaven sent
.

A relfection of Love

2009-02-10T18:19:00.008Z

I stood and gazed at this beautiful reflection

A breath taking vista with divine connection

It reached the depths of my bewildering soul

And I longed to gently touch you my Love

The compassionate one, with a heart of gold

cloaked in kindness a wonderful gentle soul

I pondered if you could hear the whispers of my heart

You an angel whom the Gods sent here

A radiant light that brushed away my fear

I love you

Music fills the infinite between two souls”

“The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.”

“If a thing loves, it is infinite.” William Blake

“Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.”

At the end of the day

Sometimes its unwillingness to surrender

Crimson warmth stretches across the expanse of the sky

The sun bursts forth its final encore

Bowing majestically upon the horizons door

A horizon filled with hope

The curtain of darkness gradually falls

Like a black cloak flowing in the evening breeze

Heaven is the blanket that covers the dreaming soul

Until dawn breaks

And we awake

Quotes

“Dusk, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering to be always together, yet forever apart?”

“No matter how dark the night, somehow the sun rises once again and all shadows are chased away”
PonyBoy

Complexity by trinitystar

Spiritual Boat by trinitystar

At times we do need to reflect on the motion of Beauty

For Beauty flows in harmony with mind, body and soul to keep them free

Find moments to be still on the path of your life

Because sometimes you become lost in the complexities and bitter strife

Listen to the inner voice that beckons you to experience the infinite pond

Life is a gentle whisper, a breath; a kiss of love upon the breeze and beyond

quotes:

“But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?”

Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval. When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment.”

Your Homeless Brothers and Sisters

2009-01-08T10:27:00.007Z

Photograped by trinitystar

Can you imagine being out on the streets in these freezing temperatures?
People that are homeless are in a 'catch 22', no money, no food, no roof over their head, no hope.

Homeless people are treated like dirt, untouchables.

Perhaps who knows some of them are angels in disguise, could you help an angel?

Why people are homeless. people become homeless because :-

These include loss of employment, divorce, long-term illness. Others include domestic violence, substance abuse, institutional discharge and many other factors that make it difficult, if not impossible, for people to pay rent or make mortgage payments.

Homeless people do not choose to live on the street, they are forced to live on the street because there are no options for them. If they do not have an address they cannot receive money. If they do not have an address they cannot have a job.

In these financial and economic crisis that are looming over us at the moment we may find that there will be others that will fall into the catergory of being homeless. Governments and councils should not spend the tax payers money on frivilous things.

Homeless people do not choose to be on the streets subject to everyone's beliefs. Would you choose to sleep on the street in the conditions they do. Can you imagine your child sleeping rough or any of your family.

We all have a choice to do the thing that feels good for the soul.

I would love to hear from anyone that has any ideas of Solutions to solve any of the Worlds problems.

Keep the comments going ... any ideas that you have seen please send me the links.

Quotes.

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“If Americans ever allow banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless”
Thomas Jefferson

You can spend the money on new housing for poor people and the homeless, or you can spend it on a football stadium or a golf course. Jello Biafra

When I was living in New York and didn't have a penny to my name, I would walk around the streets and occasionally I would see an alcove or something. And I'd think, that'll be good, that'll be a good spot for me when I'm homeless. Larry David

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
Leo F. Buscaglia

“I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.”
Pablo Casals quotes

By trinitystar
Wonder of God

Encased in beauty that God bestowed on me
He gave me the choice to choose to be free
He gave me the gift of love and a heart of gold
The mystery of the wonders of life to unfold
He gave me dreams to bring to fruition
He gave me my intuition.
Most of all he sent you here for me to love you..

Quotes:

From wonder into wonder existence opens.” by Lao Tzu

I feel wonderful because I see / The love light in your eyes. / And the wonder of it all / Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.” Eric Clapton

Wonder is the begining of wisdom. Greek

“Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy, inquiry the progress, ignorance the end”

Fractal Spring Flowers by trinitstar

As the tired traveller passes by
He is greeted by beauty on the wayside
Treading carefully as he goes about his way
Spring flowers in the sunny breeze do sway
Releasing a capricious scent in the air
So delicate, treat them with love and care
Unselfish little spirits unfolding in their daze
Take a moment to absorb their intoxicating gaze

Quotes:

Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity. ~John Ruskin

Earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Hamatreya"

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday (Penine walk)

I stood on the edge of a basin surrounded by snow wrapped mountains
Blue skies occupied by an abundance of cumulus clouds puffy and piled up
The harsh winds spoke with sharp tongues lashing against my face
What a beautiful panoramic vantage point I had of life down in the valley
A bird’s eye view; a perspective change; a sudden moment in time to repose
An instant connection to nature; a time to have communion with God
And for one single moment I was able to feel your gentle breath
It is moments like this I want to share with you.

You can be seen and heard.

"Did you think that I didn't hear you when you cried out to Me in your time of need?
Truly, I did hear you.
If I hear the final cry of every sparrow that falls in death, would I not hear you?
"Did you wonder if I was listening when you prayed to Me for an answer to the troubles that weighed you down?
Indeed, I was listening.
If I listen intently for the very heartbeat of every baby conceived in the womb, would I not listen when that child prays? I listened, and I remember precisely the instant that your heart took it's first beat; the moment that you took your first gasping breath upon leaving the security of your mother's womb; the contented sigh of relief at your first belly full of warm milk. And, though you've grown up, I still listen for every word spoken in My direction.
"Do you think that I don't know when problems come into your life? I know everything there is to know about you! Even the very hairs of your head are numbered! I've watched you daily, from those first tentative steps and groping words to your very first love; and I was there, cheering you on, though you never knew it. "Did you think that I was unconcerned because you didn't receive an instantaneous answer to your prayer?
My dear child, I am more concerned for you than you will ever know. If I were not, would I have sent my son to earth in the flesh and allowed your kind to mock Him, spit on Him, beat Him, and nail Him up on a cross for all to see? He gave His life for You! He poured out His very life's blood in order to pay a price for your life, and to set you free.! Would I have done that if I was unconcerned?
"Or did you accept the devil's lie that I didn't even exist? Can you really believe his lies when the very magnitude and complexity of the universe bears witness to the unquestionable fact that they are My handiwork? When everything that you can see and not see is a work of My perfection, delicately balanced and timed, from the spiraling galaxies to the spinning atoms? Is it possible to comprehend such an intricate work and say,
"There is no God"?
"Take a good look at yourself!
You are the very epitome of My work!
You are My greatest creation!
A one-of-a-kind human being.
Of the seventy billion humans that have lived and walked this planet, there has been no other exactly like you. I created you perfect! I created you with a hundred million receptors in your eyes so that you could see the beauty around you; I created you with twenty-four thousand vibrating fibers in your inner ears to hear the softest whisper of the wind; I designed five hundred muscles, two hundred bones, and seven miles of nerve fibers, all wrapped in a renewable, nearly indestructible layer of skin and tissue. I gave you a heart that pulses hour after hour, day after day, thirty-six million beats a year, pumping blood through more than ninety-six thousand miles of veins and arteries to give your body life and keep it free of disease; and I gave you a brain that is the most complex organ in all of the universe, made up of one-hundred-trillion cells and crisscrossed with twenty-five billion nerve cells to help you retain the minutest memory; and I equipped your body with four million pain-sensitive structures, five hundred thousand touch detectors, and over two hundred thousand temperature detectors! And then, to top it all off, I gave you the ability to reason, to dream, to imagine, and to speak; things that no other of My creatures can do. And, as a final touch, after creating that magnificent body that you live in, I created the real you, the inner you, the spirit that I created in My likeness, and I breathed you into your body at the instant of birth. "And you were connected to Me then, but you never knew it. Deep inside of you you knew, because I planted that knowledge of Me there, but over the years you have allowed the things of the world to choke that knowledge out. In the beginning, however, you were perfect; My greatest creation; molded in My own image. Don't you find it really quite humorous, to think that some could adamantly believe that this all came about by chance or evolution?
Could such a masterpiece have come about simply by chance?
"If you can see the truth in this, then how can you think that I didn't
hear you?

"Behold, I am standing at your heart's door, knocking and asking entrance, but I will not force My will on you. Call to Me now and ask Me to come in; into your heart and your life. Call to Me, for I am listening and waiting even as you read this. I'm only a word away, and if you will invite Me in, I will come in and never will I leave you alone. Give Me your heart and your love and, as I live, saith the Lord, this day you shall be one with Me in Paradise."

Forever; Jesus

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Quotes

My favourite
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale

Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home. ~Carol NelsonHe who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ~Roy L. Smith

Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind. ~Mary Ellen Chase

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens

Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. ~W.J. Cameron

Remember to think of those that will not share the joy of love and warmth. For those that will spend their time on the streets. For those that are in the middle of war ... for those that hunger and thirst.

Does God Exist?

2007-11-30T12:11:00.000Z

Does God Exist - The Big QuestionsDoes God exist?

An answer to this fundamental question is a prerequisite for answering the other big questions of life: Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Do we serve a purpose?
Do we have any intrinsic value?
What happens after we die?
The question of the existence of God is fundamental.

Would be lovely to read your views. All yours to comment as you feel.

Hugs for everyone.

quotes.

“What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.”
Eleanor Powell

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
Mother Teresa

“When God gave you to me he never said that you were mine, that I could keep you always--only borrowed for a time. Now, He's called you home, I'm sad and I shed tears. Yet, I'm glad He loaned you to me and we had these many years

Have a wonderful weekend.

Distant Thoughts

2007-11-16T00:38:00.000Z

Distant thoughts
I could hear the rustling of the leaves
As the wind capriciously blew through the trees
Not affected by the gravity pull my spirit lifted high
Like a bird swishing its wings on the face of the sky
My longing gaze on a forth coming smile
A love extending a distance of a thousand miles
Outstretched arms touching of souls holding tight
Beneath a romantic raven velvet starlit night
I shall fly upon the wing of a vast silver bird of love
Gliding through the air and white fluffy clouds above
I shall dream of land so far away and make it a reality.

Quotes

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

Buddha (563 BC-483 BC) Founder of Buddhism

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.Watch your words, for they become actions.Watch your actions, for they become habits.Watch your habits, for they become character.Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
Buddha quotes

Vancouver ... The visual memory!

2007-11-12T23:53:00.000Z

This was an exciting trip for me. I had never travelled this kind of distance alone, therefore it was an adventure.
My friends were there to greet me when I arrived at the airport. Between the three of them they managed to show me the sights.

I was invited to a Thanksgiving Dinner. The mother of the house had a lot to be thankful for. Her son had a horrific car accident in May this year. The doctors had brought him back to life again 7 times and here he was sitting with us at the table. Sometimes miracles do happen.

These are some of my photographs from my trip to Vancouver. Vancouver has the best of all worlds. The mountains ... the parks ... the Pacific Ocean ... the great city ... the bays ... the beaches and the people.

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." -- Lao Tzu

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -- Helen Keller

JETHRO TULL LYRICS

"Living In The Past"
Happy and I'm smiling,walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I'd love to love you,and above you there's no other.
We'll go walking outwhile others shout of war's disaster.
Oh, we won't give in,let's go living in the past.
Once I used to join inevery boy and girl was my friend.
Now there's revolution, but they don't knowwhat they're fighting.
Let us close out eyes;outside their lives go on much faster.
Oh, we won't give in,we'll keep living in the past.

Observations

The sky was beautiful as the day dawned and opened its eyes
The birth of a new baby in the distance cries
I listened to the early morning bird that sings
I watched a butterfly as it fluttered its wings
I felt the breeze as it passed by my face
The elegance of rose petals as delicate as lace
I heard my heart beating the sounds of love
The beauty of the universe and the sky above
A momentary look of eyes at the stranger in the street
A deep feeling that I knew them long ago in a time so sweet
Along this path of life of exciting excursions
There are times ones journey is in diversions

If I stop for a few moments

to find my bearings
And hold the beauty within

I can count my blessings

Quotes

“Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“This inescapable duty to observe oneself: if someone else is observing me, naturally I have to observe myself too; if none observe me, I have to observe myself all the closer”
Franz Kafka quotes

“They who are in the highest places, and have the most power, have the least liberty, because they are the most observed”
John Tillotson quotes

The Spirit of Love

2007-08-20T01:25:00.000+01:00

The Spirit of Love

He roams through the dawning of dreams
Free as the wind blowing in the pastures of the infinite world
Living in the warm compassionate heart
The exuberant Spirit of Love whispers “Wake up”
Reject the world filled with mountains of illusions and unawareness
Be liberated, break the chains that imprisons the helpless mind
So that the beauty from within can be released and come to life
Like the great radiance of the sky at sunrise
There is no distance of time or miles it is here and near
No separation between the dreamers of Love

Dedicated to Master S.

Hypnotic dream of Separation
All that apparently manifests in the hypnotic dream of separation – the world, the life story, the search for home – is one appearing as two, the nothing appearing as everything, the absolute appearing as the particular. −Tony Parsons

Quotes:

I know you, you're just like me.
Stan Dale

When you hold back your Love Hoping to find more elsewhere, You learn how to wait, Not how to Love.
Peter Rengel

Love is trustLove is smellLove is how you treat someone well under pressure.
someone on the WELL

For what we are beginning to wake up to today ...is that we have for millenia structured our social instititions and our systems of values precisely in ways that serve to block, distort, and pervert our enormous human yearning for loving connections.
Riane Eisler, "Sacred Pleasure",

If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track, which has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.
Joseph Campbell

Ego is convinced that Love is dangerous.
A Course in Miracles

There may be a great fire in our soul, but no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a little bit of smoke coming through the chimney and pass on their way. Now, you must tend that inward fire, wait patiently for the hour when somebody will come and sit down near it -- to stay there maybe?
Van Gogh, Letters to Theo

Spiritual Gold

2007-07-26T09:00:00.000+01:00

Photographed and processed by trinitystar

God is the only gold you need search for
Opulent and dazzling, overflowing with wisdom
Burrow gently into the depths of your heart
The Golden God wishes you to find Him
He waits uncomplainingly for that moment
For the moment for you to realise

that all on the outside of you is temporal
And that which is on the inside of you is eternal

When will you mine for your Gold?

“More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.”

“As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time

“The world is glittering with gold, and yellow streamers of sunlight wind through the tree boughs like God was throwing a party!”
Christine Anderson quotes

Gold! gold! in all ages the curse of mankind,

Thy fetters are forged for the soul and the mind.

The limbs may be free as the wings of a bird,

And the mind be the slave of a look and a word.

To gain thee men barter eternity's crown,

Yield honour, affection, and lasting renown. - Park Benjamin

Gold hath no lustre of its own. It shines by temperate use alone. - Saint Francis of Assisi

Do not believe anythingbecause it is said by an authority,or if it is said to come from angels,or from Gods,or from an inspired source.
Believe it only if you have explored itin your own heartand mind and bodyand found it to be true.
Guatama Buddha

"Even after all this time the sun never says to the Earth,"You owe me."Look what happens with a love like that;it lights the whole sky.
Hafiz

The dance of Love

2007-07-23T09:34:00.000+01:00

Photographed and special effects by trinitystar

Probability
The breeze gently blows
It will steal a kiss from the blushing rose
“You must have heard my longing”
She whispers to the breeze
A chance
A glance
Our eyes meet
Two hearts beating, pulsating
Harmonic vibrations
Beingness knows no time
The clock stops
Two infinite Beings

Unbounded
Hearts spiralling into a star filled night
Trembling into the greatness of the Universe
Two sacred droplets of Divine Love
Commence the Dance of Love
As if two suns merge and burst into life as one
The wonderment

The passion,
Real love

Quotes
“The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know t” Einstein.

That creates the magic, and that's the wonderment of the musical process and how precious that is.

“I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care, I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do...I'm sorry I can't help myself, I'm in love with you.”

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”

Those were the days

2007-07-20T01:17:00.000+01:00

I have returned comments for you in this post.
Bidding you all a wonderful weekend

.

Them were the days

Mother placed a kettle on to the stove and pans of water
So you could bathe in a huge tin bath in front of the fire

When you could go to the corner shop and buy 1 penny sweets
Arrowbars, Black Jacks, Sherbit dips and more

Them were the days

Fighting who would take the bottles back
to receive the penny's paid for them
Riding up and down on a 3 wheeler bike, a buggy cart made from
orange box and old pram wheels
Played hopscotch, tiggy it, hide and seek, cowbows and indians
Two ball against the wall

Them were the days

Making a fire was a fete of its own
Firewood or fire lighters if you could afford it
Twisted newspapers, black jet coal
a shuvel up againts the grate, newspaper to draw the flames
Didn’t it nearly always catch fire?

Them were the days

Mother stood up against the fireside
skirt slightly lifted
warming the backs of her legs
Corn beef legs

Them were the days

No TV, no phone, no mobile
No computers.
You made your own entertainment
Knitting
Reading
Puzzles
Embroidery
Played the piano in the parlour

Have we lost the art?

Them were the days

When kids had respect for their elders
The Bobby on the beat
teachers at school
When kids could be kids

Yes, those were the days

Those days were not all that long ago
Look at the progress that we have made in such a short time

Has progress changed us

When we wanted to phone someone we would walk to the call box
Now we use our personal mobiles
We let people know we are nearly there
Stuck on the highway
Going to be late
Send love text messages

We cant wait … we want everything to happen now

Those were the days

When you had a complaint to make
You spoke to a human
Now it is all automated
Tell me ... you are asked to press 1 or 2 or 3 only to hear another automated voice
Only for them to tell you that the product you have bought and you are complaining about
will cost you to complain because it is a premium number. Huh! Rip offs!

Them were the days

When the village or town had individual shops
And you were welcomed for your custom
Now you all the huge Supermarket sell everything all under one roof
You do not know where your food comes from
And how long has it been stored
and you are asked to pay for the bag which bares their trade name. Huh!

Those were the days

You could buy stuff and put it on the slate and pay at the end of the week.Try that at Tesco or Marks & Spencers

Them were the days

When you could go to the flicks with half crown
You could buy 10 Woodbines
Buy some chips and scrapings wrapped in newspaper
and still have change.

Them were the days.

A trip to the Zoo
A picnic in the park
Matinees at the cinema
A day at the seaside
A ride on the big red bus into town
These were treats

When Christmas really felt like Christmas
Memories of my childhood.

Where are you?

2007-07-18T22:54:00.000+01:00

silver rippling moon

mecury upon the surface of water
silence falls in dark velvet crevices
love hidden within the walls of my heart
and
into my mirror I gaze
your shadow stands motionless behind me
reflections of life gone by
and

suddenly
stars sparkle and light up
your skin against mine like silken gloves
two spirits dancing the dance of love

becoming one
a
passionate kiss from your soft lips

upon mine

a taste of ruby wine

intoxicated by your touch of magic
memories of our love flashing by

Where are you?

I cry

activating and attracting like a magnet

You

Quotes:

The law of attraction says that like attracts like, and when you think and feel what you want to attract on the inside, the law will use people, circumstances and events to magnetize what you want. Rhonda Byrne Quote

- Law - Attraction - Thinking - Feeling Circumstance Quotes
By changing your thoughts it's possible to begin attracting mountains of money, riches, wealth and prosperity into your life.Sandy Forster Quote - Change - Attraction - Money - Rich - Wealth - Prosperity Life Quotes

Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators. Dave Barry

“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.”

The forgiving state of mind is a magnetic power for attracting good.”

“Faith is not a notion, but a real strong essential hunger, an attracting or magnetic desire of Christ, which as it proceeds from a seed of the divine nature in us, so it attracts and unites with its like.”
William Law quotes

Getting back into things ... will get round to everyone as I go.

There is beauty within

2007-07-09T19:58:00.000+01:00

The music is by Loreena Mckennitt. ~ Serinnissima

Ti's the beauty of the sunsets that I see in your eyes

The early morning crimson hues of the beautiful sunrise in the sky

Ti's the glittering reflection of light on the ocean deep and wide

Upon the highest mountain beneath the shrouding cloud we cannot hide

Our shadows touch and kiss beneath the melody of the moonlight

Dancing the Dance of Love eternally into the night

Walk a mile barefoot with me through the warmth of the desert sands

Hold me in your arms in sunkissed meadows and across green lands

Mirrored glaciers reflect our eternal youth

Together we have found that Love is the only truth.

Imagine beauty in your life ... dream ... there is a beautiful world out there in here

open your eyes and you will see.

Dedicated to Master S.

Quotes:

Did my heart love till now?Forswear it sight, For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.~ Romeo and Juliet.~

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart ~ Kahlil Gibran

I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty,I woke, and found that life was Duty. Was thy dream then a shadowy lie? Toil on, poor heart, unceasingly; And thou shalt find thy dream to be A truth and noonday light to thee. Life a Duty~Ellen Sturgis Hooper. 1816-1841.

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting -- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love can build a bridge

2007-07-06T00:11:00.000+01:00

I heard these lyrics and watched them being signed ... for a moment I was immersed into these words. It brought tears into my eyes. Love can Build a Bridge.

Love can Build a Bridge by Francine Pucillo

I'd gladly walk across the desert

With no shoes upon my feet

To share with you the last bite of bread I had to eat

Id swim out to save you in your sea of broken dreams

When all your hopes are sinking

Let me show you what love means

Love can build a bridge

Between your heart and mine

Love can build a bridge

Don't you think it's time?

I would whisper love so loudly

Every heart could understand

That love and only love

Can join the tribes of man

I would give my hearts desire

So that you might see

The first step is to realise

That it all begins with you and me

Love can build a bridge

When we stand together

It's our finest hour

We can do anything, anything

Anything, anything

Keep believin' in the power

Love can build a bridge

Dedicated to Master S.

Quotes:

“People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.”

“We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it, but this world is owned by men who have 'crossed bridges' in their imagination far ahead of the crowd.”

“The wise man bridges the gap by laying out the path by means of which he can get from where he is to where he wants to go.”

Addictions

2007-07-03T09:25:00.000+01:00

Do you have an addiction?
Does it rule your life?
Do you think that you could say 'No' to it for just one day?
What triggers the addiction off?

For each time we reach out and succumb to the addiction something in our mind has triggered it off.

I am just wondering through looking at some of our addictions, are we able to read something about ourselves. Is it not the addictions that are giving you a wake up call to see what perhaps needs attention to in your life. Maybe?

My addictions are - some of :o)

I play with my hair constantly when I write ... when I am thinking ... when watching tv.
I reach out for chocolate when I am sad ... and when I am happy
If I wear a woolen jumper I will constantly feel it ... sadness triggers this off. As if it were a comfort blanket.

He is calling me

I find myself beneath the cathedrals whispering dome
The Divine is calling my name; He is calling me home
A place within my heart singing a loving musical chord
Let the winds of time blow me to thee my Sweet Lord
Allow me to enter Your Garden of effervescent pools
Your forehead encrusted with beautiful sparkling jewels
Your Crystalline Exquisiteness transmitting a glorious Light
Expressing your Divine Love, What an enchanting sight
Fragrances of Roses fill the air drawing me towards Your Love
Angels in salutation, smiling dancing in the heavens above
You gaze upon my beauty with Your magical amber eyes
Shimmering stars infusing brilliance across the cosmic skies
An extraordinary feeling of silence surrounds my soul
Delivering my self to the Sacred Divine Whole
A place of eternity a place where one does not die
Where eons become just a blink of the wisdom eye
My Lord I bow before Thee upon bended knee
Suddenly I remember where I am and who I be

"Life is meant to be lived in eternal bliss, infinite freedom, unconditional love and unbounded awareness. Any other life is utterly missing the point of being born a human."
MSI

Life is eternal; death only punctuates it for a short while. After a little break life starts again. Death is ultimate truth; life is truth beyond ultimate. Life is never destroyed; it just keeps on changing shapes. Endless processes are attached with this life; many stages are there in this grand journey of life. From an insect to an enlightened soul it keeps on changing. Creation is always beautiful in the beginning. It can be beautiful all the time also. What is purpose of life? It's evolution to higher levels - Mahesh Batish
Mahesh

Knowing constancy, the mind is open.With an open mind, you will be openhearted.Being openhearted you will act royally.Being royal, you will attain the divine.Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao.Being at one with the Tao is eternal. Though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away.
Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)

Beauty & the Beast

Beauty is silent it appears when it is least expected in the most unusual places.

The Kite

2007-06-27T09:01:00.000+01:00

Hey! Would'nt it be great to be like a kite. Free, flying with the wind gently moving to wherever it may take you. The wind as it's guide. The kite never resists it goes with the flow. Sometimes it twists and turns and sometimes it flies like a bird.
Go with your guide within you as if you were the kite and your inner guide the wind. Be like the kite free soaring to greater heights. View things from a different vantage point. View your situations from a higher point ... this means from your very highest and royal seat within you.
Do not be limited by your fears ... for your fears create limitations.

Spent most of late morning down town. It has so dawned on me that we have become a nation of coffee drinkers. People sitting in street cafe's as if they were enjoying a holiday abroad. Make everyday a holiday I say. Be happy! Yet, there are people still rushing about and never really stopping for a moment to gaze or to glance at a stranger and smile. How does that poem go?

"LEISURE"

What is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

By Wm. Henry Davies.

Do not miss the beauty being expressed from every corner of your life. Kssssssssssss to Life and a warm embracing to Love. :o)

Expressions of Beauty

The Creator gave you life

Planted, you a tiny seed

Impregnated you with food and water

Nurtured you with Love

Slowly you pushed your way through life

Growing stronger each day

Suddenly the sun washed you with Light~

bursting into bloom

unfolding

expressing your very beauty

Beauty does not need words ... it is silent ... yet, vibrant.

Quotes:

“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.”
Og Mandino quotes

“There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus”
Blaise Pascal quotes

“ The Creator has to be experienced beyond the five senses and the only instrument that can experience in this way, for you, is yourself - in the state of thoughtless awareness in which you declare 'I am' and hold it. ”

“When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator

Within

2007-06-19T22:40:00.000+01:00

My problems are all situations

Moments in life that need me to attend to them

Trials and tribulations

Yet,

in my confusion
I do not realise they are all illusions

When my mind is still

a hushhhhhhh
decends

It is as if I seep into infinity~

a dreamy place to rest my thoughts

The domain of eternal energy, infinate potentiality
the well of hope

Use it, dont abuse it.

quotes.

Spiritual energy flows in and produces effects in the phenomenal world.
William James

"Art is a powerful force in the world. It is the visual representation of what we think and what we feel, and of how we think and how we feel."

Brian Tracy: Quotes: EnergyJust as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance

Denis Waitley: Quotes: EnergyOut of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win.

Dreaming

2007-06-19T00:35:00.000+01:00

Dawn awaits patiently

for the moon to close her sleepy eyes

round and pregnant

ready to give birth to life

the sun stretches willing to rise

Your head rests upon my silk woven pillow

meandering through alley's of your lucid dreams

embracing passionately we~

kssssssssssssss

beaneath the weeping willow

swooning and dancing in the twilight hours

drifting in and out of abstract minds

hands and fingers entwine like vines and lock tight

as our eyes meet

and

I whisper

"You are the ONE"

Our hearts blister with an explosion of love

as we gaze at the burst of the golden rising sun

Dream ~ reality ~ illusion ?

Trying to get round you all slowly ... computer has been on the blink ... :o(

and boy some of you have been busy

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Anais Nin:
The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.

Anatole France:
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Carl Jung: My favourite
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Doris Mortman

Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.

Coco Chanel

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.

William James

Each of us literally chooses, by his way of attending to things, what sort of universe he shall appear to himself to inhabit.

Thomas Merton

We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have—for their usefulness.

eternal dream of the sleeping God by Peter Zelai

take a moment

pause

detatch

you

from the outside world

breathe

out

breathe

out

God is always with you.

Quotes

After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.”
Richard Dawkins quotes

“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”

Feel free to write if this photograph evokes any feelings.

It is a place I love to go to alone

Away from the city and its drone

I love to walk alongside the waters edge

It makes me feel extremely privileged

That I am able to see this beauty, tempestuous scene

Wild, raging yet,

still

serene

Sometimes I sit on ancient rocks to ponder

Wonder

A lone seagull

Wings, gliding through the clouds and celestial sphere

in my eyes a small tear

A feeling so deep inside

an affection, presence, perception

Connection ...

A moment to be

2007-05-28T23:39:00.000+01:00

As the sun slowly bows his head at the end of the day
Gold and crimson hues smoulder in a striking array
The disc of life makes a final kiss to the land
Embracing upon the horizon of the desert sands
Flowers gently fold their velvet petals to rest
Birds on a wire fly to comforting nests
Our Divine Artisan paints the hours of the night
Angels travel within the streams of hallowed light
Darkness descends like a flowing timeless silken cloak
The face of the moonlight casts her mysterious shadows to evoke
The vortex of my complex mind
Stirring emotions of a delicate kind
Time to awaken as others all around you softly sleep
A moment to go beyond limitations and reach within deep
A glimpse of the Divine that resides in the heart
Reminding the self that we are never ever to be apart
A moment to be with the only One
A moment for Trinity and Neo
A moment for Love
and the soul to be united with the Whole.

The Dance of Life

2007-05-28T01:26:00.000+01:00

Highlander you entered my dreams upon a lonely path
Holding a delicate red rose in your heart for me
Twas your soul a lantern of
gossamer light
That showed me the way
As you breathed into my mouth and gave me
life
Lips of nectar intoxicating

kissssssssssssss

Spiralling me throughout the expanse of the universe
Amongst the exuberant sparkling stars and back to earth

You caught me with your mystical and embracing glance
Whispering
"Awaken from your sleep my lovely angel"
It is time for our Dance

Mystic of Love

Mystic of Love

The hours that pass in this timeless zone
Within the very depths of my heart
A place I am able to share with you alone
Gently touching your finger tips
Mystic of Love
Feeling you like a breeze upon my face
The softness of your kiss upon my lips
Whispering sands blowing in my hair
Mystic of Love
I long for a moments gaze from you
To feel your eyes walk through the doorway of my soul
To share the dance of love with you
I breathe you with every beat of my heart
Mystic of Love
I shall always embrace your heart in mine
You are my dawning of my awakening
You are those beautiful sunsets of crimsons and gold
You are those dreams forever I hold
I love you

Dedicated to Master S.

Quotes

Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God. Author: Soren Kierkegaard

All mystics speak the same language, for they come from the same country. Author: Louis Claude de St. Martin

EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND
LONG WEEKEND HERE
BANK HOLIDAYS
:O)

no sleep

2007-05-24T11:50:00.000+01:00

I could not sleep all night, no moonlight

No stars, just a blanket of dark clouds

My thoughts stumbled, stubborn resistance
Searching for my existence through torment

The air was so still, no stiring of silence

I listened and there was nothing.

For hours I gazed at the tree outside

No whispers, no rustling of leaves

No excitement for the mirror of my eyes
I looked for soft sand blowing in the breeze
The crest of a wave to sail upon beneath the warm sun
Sounds of Paradise birds in trees, cascading waterfalls
Tinkling of flower petals
Sweet fragrance in the air
I must of closed my eyes for a moment
so I had thought
Suddenly a new day was born
The sun came streaming through the window
Birds called morning to all
I had found a paradise
I heard the waterfall
The tap in the bathroom

Balancing Rocks

2007-05-23T00:03:00.001+01:00

BALANCING ROCKS

I hope that you will all give this a go. The balancing of rocks is so beautiful ... it connects you ... with being. The above photograph is one my sculptures. I started two years ago making these rock sculptures wherever I went on holidays on the beach ... it is very stilling for the mind.

Quotes

“The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.”

love

2007-05-19T01:28:00.000+01:00

To feel the love

of people whom we know

is a fire

that feeds our life.

But to feel the affection

that comes from those

we do not know

something still

greater and more beautiful

because it widens

the boundaries of our being

and unites all living things.

Pablo Neruda

The heart of You

2007-05-18T00:38:00.000+01:00

The heart is such a delicate and beautiful place
Somewhere inside where

feelings emerge

a place where love grows

the red rose

a place where I Am

able to sense your heart within mine

trust the beating heart that gently

whispers

the secrets you can only hear

truth

of silent heavenly love

Quotes

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same

I have fond memories of you
my friend you made me laugh
remember our walks of hope
taking an hour or two

you were like a breeze that entered the room
a room that was dull ~

suddenly, filled with life and light

stunningly beautiful

a spiritual rose unfolding under the sun

and then one day

a knock!

at the door of your soul
crucified by cancer
your body became frail and torn
as if you had been within a raging storm

you were strong you fought it all the way

alone

you cried

you knew you could not run or hide

I saw you a few days before
a tear in your eye
like a

pearl, we treasure in our minds and heart

"I came like water. and like the Wind I go." by omar khayyam

Thank you Jacquie for being my friend
I miss you.

Thoughts

2007-05-14T17:50:00.000+01:00

There is a sacred place where one often goes
the air is hushed and silence flows

and out of the blue you fall within
as if you were a floating silver pin

it is here one connects with the Whole
a resting place for ones roaming soul

seek just a moment, away from your confusions
bring to a halt your thoughts that are intrusions

gently like the sun going down free your mind
focus on love and listen, be still and find

The Divine within you

Quotes:

"When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth."- Eckhart Tolle

"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the 'atomic age' - as in being able to remake ourselves."- Gandhi

"If you could get rid of yourself just once, the secret of secrets would open to you. The face of the unknown, hidden beyond the universe would appear on the mirror of your perception."- Rumi

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."- Peace Pilgrim

Acceptance of others, their looks, their behaviors, their beliefs, bring you an inner peace and tranquillity -- instead of anger and resentment."- Unknown

To the questions of your life

you are the answer

To the problems of your life

you are the solutions.

by Jo Coudert

“You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.”
santiz
Jo Coudert quote

ooooopa sorry folk!

Hide behind the mask

2007-04-26T22:41:00.000+01:00

In those special times
Have I not been like a blade of grass moving and bending gently in the breeze?
In those times when my ego was being bruised I still tried to please
Did I not try to make acceptance for my imperfections
Was I not happy to follow all your directions?
Did I not close my eyes and hold my tongue?
So as not to express any judgement when they were doing me wrong
Did I not try to look the other way with unseen tears in my eyes?
When truly it was only the Spirit that could hear my silent cries
As others laughed and ignored my shadow on the wall
In those times did I not try to walk with my head high and tall?
Did I not try to ignore the whispering of my name a thousand fold?
How alone I felt as if I were standing outside in the cold
Weaving your web to hold me down
I smiled with a mask the frown of a clown
I hid myself beneath the cloak of the night so that you could not see
How I long to be loved and long to set myself free
In my realization my error was to focus on you and your actions
When I should have been more aware of my re-actions
I thank you all for the opportunity that you have given me
As I travel forward on the spiritual life journey.

Beautiful Mind!

2007-04-25T09:36:00.000+01:00

The camera of my mind can encapsulate an image in time
This thing we call time, fragmented into years, months, and days
Is nothing more than a temporal clock ticking away in life
Yet, the mind has a memory that holds a life-time of images,
It can invoke the very feeling of happiness or sadness that one may have felt so long ago
This is the wonder of mind.

The God Theory

Quotes:

“I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta quotes

“Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.”

Life is like a game of snakes and ladders

2007-04-21T01:55:00.000+01:00

I have lived my life like a lottery
Tossing the dice on the ocean waves
Within the surge and swell of mockery

How wonderful it is to wake up and not know
Like a game of snakes and ladders
What life will bring you today, its your throw

What would life be if we knew our future?
Without trial and error, nor experiences
Bland, plain, no colour, nor magical conjure

Enjoy life it is a joy.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Quotes

"God’s dice always have a lucky roll

"The world is the house of the strong. I shall not know until the end what I have lost or won in this place, in this vast gambling den where I have spent more than sixty years, dicebox in hand, shaking the dice."- Denis Diderot (1713–1784) (Elements of Physiology, “Conclusion

"The gold-digger in the ravines of the mountains is as much a gambler as his fellow in the saloons of San Francisco. What difference does it make whether you shake dirt or shake dice? If you win, society is the loser."- Henry David Thoreau

"God does not play dice [with the universe" - Albert Einstein (Quoted by Banesh Hoffman in "Albert Einstein")

Focus

2007-04-20T01:01:00.000+01:00

lay your focus
in what you value most
in that moment

place your sight
in what you believe in
do it with Love

always try to
do your best
God will do the rest

When walking in the afternoon sun
I came across an audience of flowers
Basking on the hillside
Sitting up in the stalls
The flowers laughed and giggled
As I sneaked by feeling like an intruder
I bowed at those sitting in the front seats
Face blushing from their glares.
Little spirits of nature

Sunset

2007-04-18T23:11:00.000+01:00

In my silent stillness I gazed upon the sun setting inside my heart

And I knew that at last I could let this day descend into oblivion

A progression of events of discontent that had torn me apart

That had presented me lifeless and full of sadness

Who dared to attack my very beauty and challenge it to a duel?

Who dared to question the Universal rules of Love

I faced my perpetrators that chewed and gnawed at my emotions

As if they were thieving wolves, feasting on every morsel of my mind

I stood back for sometime and gazed into the recess of my soul

To suddenly become aware that the day was actually a process of learning

And although I had encountered discomforts up till my awareness

My beauty was not marred, nor scathe, but full of gratefulness

I had been given the chance to apply love, and forgivness to my day

And ultimately be at peace to catch the beautiful sun setting inside my heart.

Quotes:

“If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'”
Ann Landers quotes

“Trouble brings experience, and experience brings wisdom

My favourite

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace”

Dusted with Dawns Beauty

2007-04-14T21:52:00.000+01:00

The awakening of dawn opens a new chapter
Sleeping ambition comes to its close
The sun rises on the horizon of hope
Life errupts like the spleandor of a volcano
Flowers fill the air with their sweet fragrance;
Opening their petals to be embraced by the sun
Clocks tick madly in the fissures of your mind
Flashes of past problems demanding attention.
Stop in your tracks, do not miss the beauty of now
For NOW waits for no soul to decide its fate
Let your eyes absorb the visions present of passing beauty
Be in the present, presents is a gift from God
Dawning dusts the day with hope, love and beauty

“Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!”
Kalidasa quotes (Indian sanskrit poet and dramatist, 5th century ad

“The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.”
Jim Rohn quotes (American Speaker and Author

thoughts on my mind
pressing the door bell
waiting for an answer

no expectations
no frustrations
no complications

ticking of the clock
the moving hand
another year passes by

The photographs were taken along the Cleveland Way, Yorkshire, between Runswick Bay and Port Mulgrave. For those that do not reside in the United Kingdom ... Yorkshire is situated on the east coast of the island. There are still many unspoilt areas for people who desire to walk.

I love sitting on the clifftops pondering ... watching cloud formations ... shadows being formed
Have you ever watched how graceful a seagul flies, so elegant.
This area is know for Black Jet (Whitby Jet) You can always find little fragments of it on the beach. Black Jet is used for making Jewelery.
Sit for awhile and gaze out to sea.
