Order

A friend was watching me, whilst I was taking more photographs of my succulents.
She also got inspired and took this picture - she said: "in all chaos, their is order"

Sharing/Selling

We all have different talents. Different contributions that we must/can make in this life.
It just occurred to me that, should it be that I decide to share my knowledge in creating a sellable product. My sales is a reflection of how well I share.

human Conscious

"The human being in whom the earth has become spiritually aware, has awakened into consciousness, has become self-aware and self reflecting. In the human, the earth begins to reflect on itself. In our deepest definition and deepest subjectivity we humans are the earth. Conscious." - Sister Miriam Mc Gillis.

A Key to total Success

A Friend sent me this from the Barefoot Doctor's column:
http://www.barefootdoctorworld.com/

Love life and it loves you back. Let your focus always be on loving life – love it from moment to moment, love it more than anything and it will constantly regenerate you and magically shift the details of your everyday reality around in such a way as to produce successful outcomes in all your endeavours without you having to strain over the details.

The way, especially when swamped by tasks and obligations that threaten your peace of mind is to constantly remind yourself, moment to moment, ‘Above all, I love life.’

It helps you retain perspective and maintain your vitality levels through thick and thin.

The ancient Chinese called life in this respect, the Tao. They didn’t personify it like we personified our Western notion of the ineffable presence, yet did think of it as a maternal presence – one that nurtures and takes care of her children.

So tell her you love her again and again and avail yourself of the miracles she produces in your life. Loving her is the way to activate the miracles.

Just say, ‘ I love life’ again and again and the activation will begin.

Wish: your mutual love affair grows and grows until you can no longer even remember the pain of forgetting who and what you really are: divine.

Understanding

"He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees.... The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love.... Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as strawberries knows nothing about grapes."
- Paracelsus

Butterflies

There is a Native American legend that says, " If you have a secret wish, capture a butterfly and whisper your wish to it. Since butterflies cannot speak, your secret is ever safe in their keeping. Release the butterfly, and it will carry your wish to the Great Spirit, who alone knows the thoughts of butterflies.

By setting the butterfly free, you are helping to restore the balance of nature, and your wish will surely be granted."

I chose to feel better

When things are not going well.
I can chose between two things:
Believe that things will get better, or Believe things will become
worse.
Believe that it will get better, makes me feel better.
I chose to feel better!

Man in the Mirror

"Man In The Mirror" - Michael Jackson

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)

Pomegranate

I decided to eat this pomegranate - VERY slowly.
It is amazing how different things tastes, if it is the only action - focused on.
Sometimes I eat, to eat, without thought - then I don't see, nor taste

Dancing the Love of My Life


My latest completed painting:


This poem was written by Beth Peterson







Dancing the Love of My Life

On a sunny day

I gave my prayer wings

I stared at the wind for hours

A child looked at the blue sky

and pointed out the pale moon

I looked my Patience in the eye

and asked it for evidence

of its usefulness

I found a burrow

where I could curl up my dreams

and the grass sang

I reached out a hand

to a woman in a veil

She lit a candle

for my Hope

and made a promise

to snuff out my fears

I rubbed gold coins in my hands

until they were hot

I wondered, what could I believe?

and a Starfish melted under my foot

I blew ashes into bubbles

but nobody saw this

I watched an egg laugh

I heard a song

no one has sung

and for a moment

an Owl smiled at me

I wrapped up my blessings

and put them in an envelope

I bought a stamp from a man

who sold flowers

I went to the park

when the cherry trees blossomed

and I waded into the waters

I burnt off my limbs and my face

and my hair and my heart

so that you can love me

Reflection

I had a epiphany the other day. The idea obviously comes from wise guru's stuff I read before:
Everything around me is a reflection of how much love I have for myself. What I eat, how I dress, the way my papers are organized - EVERYTHING is a reflection on my self love!

True Knowledge

"When true knowledge is achieved, then the will becomes sincere; when the will is sincere, then the heart is set right...; when the heart is set right, then the personal life is cultivated; when the personal life is cultivated, the the family life is regulated; when the family life is regulated, then the national life is orderly; and when the national life is orderly, then there is peace in this world. From the emperor down to the common men, all must regard the cultivation of the personal life as the root or foundation." - Confucius
