On Love and Friendship

No love, no friendship, can ever cross our path without affecting us in some way forever.

Francois Mauriac

Power!

No flower can remain in full bloom for more than ten days.

No man can last longer than ten years in power!

Korean Proverb

Moved....

Kahlil Gibran.....so moving.....

I have been here since the beginning, and I shall be until the end of days.  For there is no ending to my existence.  The human soul is but a part of a burning torch which God separated from Himself at Creation - KG

Searching for Happiness

I don't think one should go in search of happiness; it's a dividend which is paid if you go in search of other things.

Sir Tyrone Guthrie

Labradorite

Labradorite is a mystical and protective stone which raises consciousness and connects with the universal energies, while also deflecting unwanted energies from the aura.

This stone also stimulates intuition and psychic gifts, and reduces fear and insecurity.  It is a great stone for those who fall victim to overthinking when going through periods of stressful change.......

To a Stray Cat

How well I remember the night you came,
Timid, bedraggled, hungry, lame;
Who would have thought that
six months later, you'de be this
arrogant sleek dictator.

Humility

When it is a matter of humility, each individual needs it far beyond his imagination......

Sri Chinmoy

Reality Check

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all we need to make us really happy, is something to be enthusiastic about.

Charles Kinsley (1819-1875)

Tomorrow is Another Day!

There's nothing so bad that it could not be worse.
There's little that time cannot mend.
And troubles, no matter how thickly they come, most surely will come to an end.
You've stumbled - well so have we all in our time.
Don't dwell over much in regret.
You're sorry - God knows it well - leave it at that.
Let past things be past, and forget.
Don't despair, don't give in, but just be yourself - The self that is highest and best.
Just live every day, in a sensible way.
And then leave to God all the rest.

Anon

Being Grateful!!

I used to cry because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.

Old Chinese Proverb

Change of Plans

It was so odd yesterday - almost everyone I spoke to (self included) had a plan cancelled at the last minute - a mix up with scheduling, etc., etc.....

Wonder if it had anything to do with Mars ending its retrograde.....just a thought!!

Look out for the strawberry Full Moon on June 20th

Did you know the native americans named all the full moons to help them keep track of the seasons?

In June the tribes would go out looking for wild strawberries....

More on Reincarnation

"Whatsover has been in the past or is now will repeat itself in the future, but with the names and surfaces of things so altered that he what has not a quick eye will not recognize them, or know how to guide himself accordingly...."

Francesco Guicciardini, a Florentine historian attached to the court of Allessandro de Medici

Reincarnation

Thinking about reincarnation today.....

St. Gregory of Nyassa, wrote in the third century:  "It is absolutely necessary that the soul be healed and purified.  If this does not take place during its life on earth, it mus be accomplished in future lives."

Dream Theme still....

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.  Edgar Allen Poe

Written in 1849 but feels so on target in 2016.

Dreams

Am enjoying interesting dreams lately....often happens when there is a lot going on in my life...when there are decisions to make....does anyone else find this?

Dreams deliver us to dream and there is no end to illusion....Ralph Waldo Emerson

June 4th - New Moon in Gemini

With tomorrow's new moon in Gemini - expect blessings, joy and love just around the corner.....

Brings to mind the hummingbirds at the feeder on my deck - hummingbirds are said to carry our hopes for love, joy and celebration....

Life and love are all  dream - Robert Burns

From what flowering tree
I know not,
But ah, the fragrance!

Larimar

Am drawn to the beautiful blue Larimar today (also found in a blue-green, gray, red or white but more common in the blue I find)....perhaps because it is a spiritual stone...and having just listened to a webinar on contacting your spirit guides.....now realize that Larimar allows us to open up to new dimensions and communicate with other realms....all makes perfect sense now.....
