Joy

"I want to spend my life flooding joy all over you" - Abraham-Hicks

Contribution

What contribution, towards living in my perfect world, am I making today?

Do

You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind.~ Author Unknown

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.

How do you feel?

"It does not matter what you do, what matters is how you feel whilst doing it."

(Who said that?)

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.

When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
- Friedrich Nietzsche

The sea is never full

"All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again" - Ecclesiastes, 1,7

friends

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

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.

Everything is possible

Everything is possible

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

Time to wear your crown?

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

Full Moon 07/07/09

Thanks to Telkom, I am back on line.

Tonight is full Moon! Yet another important cycle in our lives.

Never try to do anything, just do it!

Internet Connect

I am not sure if my vodacom data card has been hacked or whether, there is a virus on my computer "eating" my data.

Between myself, Vodacom and Telkom's DHSL we are busy working to get me,connected again.

Do you know what it is you want?

I took this photo at Tsodilo Hills, Northern Botswana. This is where, according to the first man, man was made.

27 000 years ago people did not have much choice as to how they are going to occupy their time on earth. They wanted to survive, therefore they gathered food.

Lots of theories exists about our forefathers and their art.

For me, it is quit simple: drawing what you want is a way of manifesting, it is being clear. Once we know what it is we want, believe that we are going to get it. We will surely receive it. Wondering why modern man, has to relearn one of the first things he knew.

Just Begin

"You possess all the capabilities for self-enrichment,

You need only exercise the powers.

As you begin, have no concern whether you are proceeding correctly.

Just begin." - Helene Hadsell

yellow pepper

I once made paintings of peppers; green, yellow and red.

Divine Purpose

I am the caterpillar eating my peace lilly!

Encounters

"Everything we encounter is pointing towards the direction we need to take." - Davide De Angelis (Money Shaman)

Divine Purpose

I find difficult to love these caterpillars that purposefully destroy my garden.

I know that they must have a divine purpose, otherwise, they would not have been created.

I wish, I knew why they are eating my peace lilly?

Vegetables

I love winter.

Soup is my staple diet - vegetable soup.

The shapes and the colors appeal to me. I wonder if it is more nutritious to eat things that are beautiful.

A cow for example is very beautiful, but somehow a chopped cow does not have the same quality of visual fulfillment.

I wonder if I should become a vegetarian that eats salami?

Beautiful life

I am thankful for my beautiful life.

Dance me

LEONARD COHEN
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Powerful

I love you.

Perfect Harmony

I took this picture at Sesriem. Follow link for more info.

How incredible is this earth!
Clever people say that the formations found here are 15 to 18 million years old.
The elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth - working together in perfect harmony, creating...

Patience

"Infinite patience produces immediate results" - A Course in Miracles, from The Power of Intention, Dr Wayne W. Dyer.

I am probably the most impatient person, I know. I am sure it is mostly to do with my exaggerated ego, at times. 

"Patience is a virtue!"

Contrasts

I just love the contrast between this round red berries and these spiky green leaves of this asparagus fern (Asparagaceae)

Commit

"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred... unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way" - Johann Wolgang von Goethe
