Expressions of Beauty

Photograph by Trinitystar

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

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

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.

Quotes:

Edith Wharton

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.

My what a surprise!

PC was down
A lovely surprise to see all the comments.
Thank you for all your visits.
Hoping to get back to some kind of normality this week.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

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.”

Joss Whedon quotes

Thank you all for popping over. :o)

Ooooooooooops!

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

on

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 ...

Sorry folks for the lack of posting and commenting
I have my daughter home from abroad.
I don't want to seem anti-social. :o)
See you all in a couple of days

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

A moment to be

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

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

For travellers of Life, Love & Freedom

Quotes

Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit. Of these, spirit is primary, for it connects us to the source of everything, the eternal field of consciousness.

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

“The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion”
Albert Einstein quotes

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

no sleep

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

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.”
Albert Einstein quotes

“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.”
Barbara De Angelis quotes

“Just 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.”
Brian Tracy quotes

love

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

is

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

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

Our children can bring us a reminder of unconditional love, simplicity,

playfulness and acceptance of others.

Our family can bring us unity and strength.

Friends can give us a helping hand, a listening ear and laughter.

The people we meet each day, strangers can give us valuable lessons in life.

If one reads the greater tapestry of life this is what we are being for each other.

Friends left for new life!

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

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
