I gaze into your eyes

I see my reflection

You gaze into my eyes

You see your reflection

Who are we?

The heart of the person before you is a mirror. See there your own form.

There is only one breath. All are made of the same clay. The light within all is the same.

The only thing which has to heal is the illusion of being separate

Was it someone else? Was it not you yourself?

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?

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

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!

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.

Quotes:

"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

"One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." –- Henry Miller

"Two of the greatest gifts we can give our children are roots and wings." –- Hodding Carter

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

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
