I need all the help I can get. The class is using Blurb.com as a medium to produce the books. Thanks for all the light and love. Shells

My parents are buried on Punchbowl (they were both in the military and were living on the island when their spirits transcended). I have a few relatives who live there and.. when I visit, I truly am surrounded with a great big hug!

A few people in my advance photoshop class are using the 50-Cannon and the photos are amazing--just like yours. Happy Halloween - no costume tonight - or not yet anyway, haven't made up my mind. Maybe just be a the front door handing out candy to the Halloween' trick or treaters. Bless you too. Shells

Who Are You?

You are so creative
And your tricks are so original
Look at your magic
So deceptive, real, and endless.
You are a great storyteller
So dramatic, colorful, and emotional
I love your stories
But do you realize that you're telling them over and over and over?
You are such a dreamer
And you're tirelessly so passionate
For your dream characters and the world
But do you see that you're just dreaming?
You are so familiar
Yet no one knows who you really are
Are you not called "thoughts" by some?
Are you really there or simply my delusion?
Are you not taught to be the true wisdom mind?
What a beautiful world this can be
If only I can see through this mind
Well, it doesn't really matter
Because I don't exist without you!
"Who am I?" — is perhaps the right question
After all, I'm just one of your many manifestations!

Mindfulness Leads to Wisdom

In a state of mindfulness, you see yourself exactly as you are. You see your own selfish behavlor. You see your own suffering. And you see how you create that suffering. You see how you hurt others. You pierce right through the layer of lies that you normally tell yourself, and you see what is really there. Mindfulness leads to wisdom.

- Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, from “Mindfulness and Concentration,”

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

I'd like to know more about what you do and the equipment your using. I went to your stock photo website and viewed hundreds of lovely flowers. Doesn't this place have a chat room? Blessings and be well. Shells This photo is taken at IONS, Petaluma CA 2008copyrightmichellelavallee

Even if 84,000 random thoughts arise and disappear, as long as the individual does not get involved in them but lets go of them, then each thought will become the light of spiritual power of wisdom.

By sharing our feelings of love and appreciation with our friends, we can encourage greater intimacy in our relationships. While our friends often know that we appreciate them, choosing to express our care in obvious ways can make a profound statement. Not only do our friends feel flattered and moved by our generosity, but they automatically feel closer to us because we have opened our hearts to them. This will often inspire them to open their hearts to us in return, and we can create a deeper level of communication and sharing than we previously had. Over time, this connection will result in stronger bonds and deeper intimacy that help our relationships grow. As you express your love and appreciation to friends you are contributing powerful energy to the growth of your relationships.
