Bend like a blade of grass in the wind

Search no more for the answers are within

Life is a dream through the meadow rue

The universe dwells inside of you

Do you know who you really are?

The moon, the sun and the stars

its the small things in life ...

credit ~ Hilton Powell

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

Digital art by Trinitystar
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

“Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom"

Theodore Isaac Rubin

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.

Hermosa isla de Tenerife

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.

Quote:

“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”
Brandi Snyder quotes

Something to ponder on.

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

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

from the Quotations Page

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

Copyright Marie Moore
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

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?

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

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

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

Photograph by trinitystar

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
David Matthew

Beauty in Motion by trinitystar

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?”
Albert Camus

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

“Finite to fail, but infinite to venture.”
Emily Dickinson quotes

Your Homeless Brothers and Sisters

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

HOW DO THEY DEAL WITH HOMELESS PEOPLE IN YOUR AREA?

SOLUTIONS! SOLUTIONS!
