The Peaceful Wisdom of Nature

Pluck your wisdom and sacred moments from the universal shores of divine blessing.

Judge not the shape of your experience by its pain but instead by its quality and ability to move you and reveal you.

A Prayer for Mankind

And our spirit will arise and fly to the height of the soul,

all within the mind and the consciousness unknown.

Great, wise and bold spirits your lives are now our inspiration.

In silent prayers of meditation and action we acknowledge and celebrate you.

Om...

Originality

"What already was does not need to be again.
It should be remembered as inspiration, motivation and celebration, but never duplicated.


Be genuine, you are already and original".

Lovers In A Dangerous Time...

What I want to know is...

Can you tell me you love me, not with words but with care?

Can you tell me you love me with a spirit divine and rare?

Can you tell me of your joys?
Can you tell me of your pains?
Can you tell me of your longings?
Can you tell me of your strains?

If any of this you cannot say
Lay your head upon my shoulder and tell me in your own way...
Tell me about your love, that of a royal kind
Tell me about our love, with your body, spirit and mind.

This is for the love of you.

Soul to Soul...

"All things prepare you for something else."
~ Monday, December 29, 2008 . 5:29 am

Gabbing on:

"Every thought leads you to something else.
Every action leads you to something else.
Every pain leads you to something else.
Every joy leads you to something else.
Every dream leads you to something else.
Every friend leads you to something else.
Every enemy leads you to something else.
Every kind word leads you to something else.
Every injustice leads you to something else.
Every failure leads you to something else.
Every hope leads you to something else.

Essentially everything about us is connected to something else and so are we connected to all things and one with everything, whether we are aware of it or not.

Celebrate your value and meaning to all things.

There is so much more to each of us beyond
the 'face' we wear.
Revealed her are some of the elements beyond
the face of personality and ego:

mystery, anger, pain, presence, power, strength,
fear, dignity?

What do you see???
What do we generally hide behind our daily masks???

I am...
all that you know and don't know
all that you love and don't love
all that you fear and don't fear
all that you perceive and don't perceive.

I am...
all that is mysterious and not mysterious
all that is divine and not divine
all that is painful and not painful
all that is wise and not wise
all that is possible and not possible.

As I am, I am nothing, anything and everything
from boy to man
from father to son
from lover to friend.

This is, as I am.

" Don't just fall in love with your personality,
fall in love with your self
fall in love with your grace
fall in love with your spirit
fall in love with your life
fall in love with your creativity
fall in love with your inspiration
fall in love with your peace
fall in love with your silence
fall in love with your hope
fall in love with your joy,
claim your pain and
fall in love with you.

" What do you see?
I am nothing like you, you are nothing like me.

I am sight with no sound
I am both fearless and profound.
I am dark with subtle light
I am more than your simple sight.

What do you see?
What is my mystery?
Seek with your mystical mind to understand my sacred divine."

"In my essence you will find things unseen
Things I have always been
Since time has come about
I have defined mystery, men and life
In my various personnas
You have loved me, worshiped me and died for me."

to share the myth that is my experience in the
hopes of healing myself and making others
aware of their own experiences and its power to heal them

In between the world of man’s thoughts, desires and divinity is a dimension where you will find an unheralded group of angels that are accountable for management of the repressed deeds of man.

They assist him in dealing with that which he is not yet capable of acknowledging and attempts to inadvertently destroy in the hopes of obtaining a divine and enlightened humanity.

These angels’ appear in their scarred and distorted forms which has been shaped by their sacred dimensional work with the unconscious primal energies generated by man.

What are our true colours?

They are never what we think they are and
They are certainly never what we hope them to be.
