Otherwise, The Darkness

I
have a cause.
We need those don't we?
Otherwise the darkness and the cold gets in
and everything starts to
ache.

My soul has a purpose, it is
to love;

If I
do not fulfill
my heart's vocation,
I suffer..

ST THOMAS AQUINAS

Feliz Fin de Semana
Happy Week-end!!!

love, love, love, and even more love.

wishing...

Love, light, and friendship
travells from deep within a HUman heart
touching a ray of Light:
Reflection of see
bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Over domes of mountains
onto the sea
To a destination
Founded only in Heaven's breath
I love you Ipeace. community...

:) + :) = :)

Hope everyone is kicking it to a Great and Wondrous Weekend!!!!

life causes

Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord. -ZECH ii. 13

Be earth, will all her scenes, withdrawn;

Let noise and vanity be gone:

In secret silence of the mind

My heaven and there, my God, I find.

I WATTS

IT is only with the pious affection fo the will that we can be spiritually attentive to God. As long as the noisy restlessness of the thoughts goes on, the gentle and holy desires of the new nature are overpowered and inactive.

MOMENT OF PEACE

Give thanks in this moment for all that God has

provided to you and others. Remind yourself that

you have been afforded great things, great

protection, and great value in your life. Where

you have miscreated, where you have misunderstood

and gone astray, these are simply opportunities

to remember yourself in God.

Remember the inherent goodness in all things.

Forgive and love regardless of conditions. Claim

yourself in the order of… Continue

LOVING EACH DAY

If you could look at the agony, the heartache, and the sorrow of your worst enemies, you would find that they have more than they can hope to handle, and you would do nothing but send them thoughts of love and joy and happiness.

You would just leave them alone with your mouth, your emotions, your mind, and your physical body.

You might just ask God in His mercy to extend to them everlasting peace.

- John-Roger

(From: Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, p.… Continue

yes God!!!~one Love, one Light~

HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never in extremity.
It asked a crumb of me.

I WOULD BE GLAD

You are sitting in a wagon being

drawn by a horse whose

reigns you

hold.

There are two inside of you

who can steer.

Though most never hand the reins to Me

so they go from place to place the

best they can, though

rarely happy.

And rarely does their whole body laugh

feeling God's poke

in the

ribs.

If you feel tired, dear,

my should is soft,

I'd be glad to

steer… Continue

Reaping what is Sown :)

THE Life above, when this is past,

Is the ripe fruit of life below.

Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure;

Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright;

Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,

And find a harvest-home of light.

H. BONAR

THE dispositions, affections, inclinations of soul, which shall issue hereafter in perfection, must be trained and nurtured in us throughout the whole course of this earthly life. when shall we bear in mind this plain truth,… Continue

Animal Rescue Site Needs Help

A friend asked me to circulate this. Thank you for this gracious allowance to share our concerns. Love, M.

Hi, all you animal lovers!

This is pretty simple... Please ask ten friends to each ask a further ten today!

Today

Hello Beautiful World:

I am asking with humility and reverence for prayers for me. I am getting ready to give myself to modern medicine, more specifically, an anesethiologist. I have not had too much luck with the after effects as I my body lifts out of that form. Please help me to realize that I need to prepare myself for this change during the next 4 days and that I will nourish myself adequately prior to an upcoming surgery on Tuesday.

As always, I send… Continue

Folklore for the Season ~ Summer

Folklore for the Season

When the down of a dandelion contracts, it is a sign of rain.

When spiders build new webs, the weather will be clear.

Lightning in summer indicates good, healthy weather.

The sunflower raising its head indicates rain.

A dream of gardens foretells great joy.

If watercress beds steam on a summer evening, the next day will be hot.

Listen for the sound of the first cicadas. The first frost of the year will occur about three months… Continue

WITNESSES

I need not shout my faith. Thrice eloquent
Are quiet trees and the green listening
sod:
Hushed are the stars, who power is
never spent;
The hill are mute: yet how they speak
of God!

Bowl of Saki

Why is God called the Creator? Because the creation itself is the evidence of some wisdom working. No mechanical creation could result in such perfection as that of nature. All the machines of the scientists are built on the model of nature's mechanism, and every inspiration that comes to the artist is received from nature. Nature is so perfect in itself that it needs no scientific or artistic improvement upon it; but to satisfy the limited human fancies man develops science and art. And yet it… Continue

OUTWITTED

He drew a circle that shut me out~
heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.

A Hundred Objects

A HUNDRED OBJECTS CLOSE BY

I know a cure for sadness:

Let your hands touch something that

makes your eyes

smile.

I bet there are a hundred objects close by

that can do that.

Look at

beauty's gift to us~

her power is so great she enlivens

the earth, the sky, our

soul.

Mira

mira!!…

God is my partner~~~I love this!!!

You cannot look into the world for the fulfillment of desire and look to Spirit at the same time.

It's a mirror.

You find that if you lust, lust finds you.

If you seek sensation, sensation finds you.

If you seek love, love comes to you.

And if you stand within your own natural, neutral space, you are able to choose the time, the place, and the extent of your participation.

From The Tao of Spirit by John-Roger, DSS

Accepting Change.

when you chose to support rather than critisize,

you choose to love rather than hurt, that is when
