1st December 2006

Gosh! Can't believe it is 1st December.

Shall we liken Christmas to the web in a loom? There are many weavers, who work into the pattern the experience of their lives. When one generation goes, another comes to take up the weft where it has been dropped. The pattern changes as the mind changes, yet never begins quite anew. At first, we are not sure that we discern the pattern, but at last we see that, unknown to the weavers themselves, something has taken shape before our eyes, and that they have made something very beautiful, something which compels our understanding.-

Earl W. Count, 4,000 Years of Christmas


From December to March, there are for many of us three gardens - the garden outdoors, the garden of pots and bowls in the house, and the garden of the mind's eye.-

Katherine S. White

All the leaves are brown And the sky is greyI went for a walk On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A.California dreamin' On such a winter's day- Mammas and Pappas, California Dreamin

Gosh folks she loves this one:-

God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December. -

J. M. Barrie

Quotes:

"To fear death is nothing other than to think oneself wise when one is not. For it is to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not even turn out to be the greatest blessing of human beings. And yet people fear it as if they knew for certain it is the greatest evil." --Socrates

"The best way to get to heaven is to take it with you. " --Henry Drummond

"Heaven -- the treasury of everlasting life.--William Shakespeare
"Love rules the camp, the court, the grove -- for love is Heaven, and Heaven is love.--Lord Byron

"It certainly seems like a good idea to talk about Heaven, meditate about Heaven and read about Heaven, because, after all, that's where we're going to spend eternity. It's an important place -- our eternal home. So it's only natural to want to know what it's like and what we're going to be like when we get there.--David Brandt Berg
We can enjoy Heaven now. We can have half of the enjoyment ahead of time by looking forward to it, thinking about it, reading about it and anticipating it.----David Brandt Berg

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

by Nelson Mandella

HUGS FOR ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL FRAGMENTS OF LIGHT!

Ponderings on perfection

I love you all the way you are


Trees sway intoxicated by the motion of the excited air
Inbriated by the charm and passion like the wind without a care
Night brings shadows of souless couples that embrace
Dance of moonbeams upon the softness of His Face
Sparkling eyes like diamonds in the firmament; we adore
A kiss that reaches deep within the primordial core
Sailing smoothly upon the shores of dreams; never to be apart
Giving birth to the seed of His Love within the oceans of our hearts
Just a glance will send us spirallilng into the universe
Millions of stars will burst an expression of emotion; and then disperse
A beautiful voice will whisper. "I love you just the way you are"

Quotes:

Oscar Wilde: Quotes about Perfection
The true perfection of man lies not in what man has, but in what man is.

Michelangelo: Quotes about Perfection
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.

James Lane Allen: Quotes about Perfection
The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart. This you will build your life by, and this you will become.

Norman Vincent Peale:
There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment


“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”

Anna Quindlen quotes (American bestselling Author and Journalist, b.1953)

Should anyone wish to expand on this pondering on perfection.

... to be perfect is to be able to make mistakes

"freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." - Mahatma Gandhi



what is perfectionism, if not the fear of making mistakes?
there is something strangely funny about making mistakes it gives one the opportunity to view it and act on it
to be free ... do not strive to be perfect ... see the beauty of your imperfections ... they are gifts from a wise God

God teaches Love
God loves you as you are
thus, should you also accept others imperfections as God love me and, learning to accept others as they are, with their faults, teaches one to do this for one's self also.
accept your own imperfections, ... they are not that important to dwell upon

Life and love ... are more important than perfection
for, ... both life and love are the expression of perfection
perfection that you are a part of: the more that you are able to forgive others and yourself for not being perfect, the more you are able to love ... and the more you have found freedom itself.

To accept others and their faults is also accepting our own faults. Thus, if we are to say we are one, this then holds no separation from other.

Hugs for everyone.

We can't say why we search, except that there seems to be an innate need, in each human being, to know who one is, what we are here for, how to live more poetically. by William Segal

It is said, that we search from the minute we are born. As a child she remembers always leaving her body. An OBE. Having out of the body experiences. Not really being able to explain to my mum about the experiences, that she was always floating up to the ceiling. This is her truth and only those that have also experienced this will understand it is very hard to explain to others. Then these experiences stopped for awhile, only to return again in her 20's. In these years she then had a succession of coincidences which kept unfolding bringing me closer each time to truth. Some of these coincidences being quite powerful.

She would be interested to know about your journey to the path and of any strange experiences. :o)

Journey

I am the Universe one of its kind

No other like me will you ever find

Revolving round the flaming sun

Since the birth of ancient time begun

I journeyed here from afar

A fragmented piece of a great shining star

Travelling upon the eternal winding road

To reach my true and sacred abode

Trust and believe in your intuition

For in your own silence will come your transition.

You know the truth

It is waiting...............

All humans have moments of great inspiration when we understand the truth.

In those silent moments your inner teaching speaks and you feel. :o)

It is here where your answers are born ... where your creativity is released ... where Love expresses itself ... the primordial core ... your fountain of eternal truth.

Hugs for everyone.
