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

Have a wonderful weekend everyone ... enjoy your moments for every moment is a new one, passes as quickly as a shooting star.

Short Visit!

The above photograph is of Freya she is an Arabian horse.

The above photograph is of Jinny

I have managed to visit most of your blogs. Heartwarming, fun, and full of life.

It is wonderful to enjoy these light evenings, lots of light.

I have been spending a little time with horses. Gods majestic creatures. I have also given time to being one with nature.

Have a wonderful week all of you.

Hope to be back at the end of August.

See you all soon. :o)

The Spirit of Love

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

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

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

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?

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

Attracting

Embrace every moment

You have a choice

Choose to do it

thoughts become things

thoughts are a wave or frequency of energy

activating and attracting like a magnet

You

are the magnet

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

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

Bonny Portmore by Loreena Mckennitt(extracts from Highlander)

Love can build a bridge

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?

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.”
John Pierpont Morgan quotes

Addictions

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

Photographed by trinitystar

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

Quotes

You are the eternal thing that comes and goes that appears - now as John Jones, now as Mary Smith, now as Betty Brown - and so it goes, forever and ever and ever.
Alan Watts (1915 - 1973)

"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

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)
