WHEN to fly .....

How do they know...

What separates
one moment
to the next
of knowing
HOW ...
WHEN ...
WHERE ...to leap
and fly ....


I noticed the
cheering from
three ~ four
encouragements
on the
sidelines ...
it got louder
& louder ...
the nest stirred
more & more ...
each one popped up
taking the first flutter
of feathers ...
moving to the song
of the chorus outside
the nest ..... wake up,

it's time ...

come ... come

come with us !

JOY .... !!
the tribe
really matters
in times of
remembering for us
when we need to
spread
our wings
to fly ....

I am

now

forever

changed ...

I became

the witness

to a precious cycle ...

The miracle

of life ....

Music : "The Prayer" by Rhema Marvanne (7 yrs.old)

Feel the Artistry . . observe the wonders

Observe the wonders,

as they occur around you.

Don't claim them.

Feel the artistry moving through.

And be silent.

~ Rumi ~

LOOK DEEP ENOUGH.......

Let us live

for the grace beneath all we want,

let us see it in everything and everyone

till we admit to the mystery

that when I look deep enough into you

I find

me

and when you dare to hear my fear

in the recess of your heart

you recognize it as

your

secret

which you thought

no one else knew...

ENTER into the Divine......

God enters by a private door

into every individual

RISK....to BLOSSOM

"...then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom..."

CALM ... of Heart

peace.

it does not mean

to be
in a place
where there is

no noise,
trouble or
hard work.

it means to be
in the midst
of those things

and still be calm in your heart. ~ unknown ~

THE QUICKENING

There has never been a time on Earth like we see today.

What we need are more ways to experience our interconnectedness ...

It is a

precursor to deep love.

So in this quickening light, with the dawn of each new day, let us look for love.

Let us no longer struggle.

Let us ever become

who we most want to be.

As we begin to be

who we truly are,

the world will be a better place.

BELIEVE ... in Angels

There are only two ways to live your life......

One is as though nothing is a miracle.....

The other is as if everything is a miracle......

~ Albert Einstein ~

TRUTH....

If you want the Truth,
I'll tell you the Truth,
Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you.

~ KABIR ~

Recognize that you are the Truth....

(so says my morning tea bag tag on the string)

somewhere it was also said...

....and the TRUTH shall set you FREE...

so

I am

the Truth

therefore

I am

already

Free

(Winnie the Poo couldn't have said it better)

TODAY...is enough

I don't know
how
tomorrow's going
to work....
I have enough
now
to be with today

just breathing

into
the
unknown........







Have you
EVER

tried to
HOLD
a sunset ....

it lives
IN you

after the sun sets.....

THE HEAD BOWS to the HEART

......the head bows to the heart
(my morning tea bag tag on the string says)

..great reminder to stay in the present moment
.....go to center

thus begins
my day

never too late to be happy
here & now
and any moment fear,
stress, worry, or doubt enter my head
.....go to center

so....my head bows to my heart

Prose by: ~Kristi ~

SITTING ON THE EDGE

this morning's tea bag tag says....
wisdom
character and
consciousness
conquer all
~(unknown)~

Only Awareness Remains........
Life moves, undulates, breathes in and out,
contracting and expanding.
This is its nature, the nature of what is.
Whatever is, is on the move.
Nothing remains the same for very long.
~Adyashanti~

Live everyday
wide open
inspired
(Adyashanti)

the universe loves ...
gratitude under
ALL
circumstances
no matter what is
happening around you.

30 days of saturating
yourself with gratitude
WILL
change your life
beyond recognition

what you
radiate & live
the universe will
DELIVER
matching the intensity
of your gratitude

bring it on....
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !

FLOW ~ 2

today's epiphany..................

i'm repeating my un-happinesses based on
someone elses idea of being happy.

...REACTING to how they think i should be

...BELIEVING them when they tell me who i am.

now i feel
the reflection is me

this is the day to change the dream..........

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~


The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
~Eleanor Roosevelt ~



A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life.
~ Abraham ~

Look deep,

deep into nature,

and then you will

understand

everything better

~albert einstein~

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.

BELIEVE....we contain the potential for everything within us........................

CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS "Creative visualization is not just a technique; ultimately it is a state of conscious-ness. It is a consciousness in which we deeply realize that we are the continuous creators of our universe and we take responsibility for that in every moment.


There is no seperation from us and God;
we are divine expressions of the creative principle on this level of existence.
There can be no lack or scarcity; there is nothing we have to try to achieve or attract; we contain the potential for everything within us.
Manifestation through creative visualization is the process of realizing and making visible on the physical plane of our divine potential."

CLINGERS & WEAVERS

today the voice of spirit spoke to me ........
it spoke thru natures art

walking in the trees on my morning meditation
holding my focus on these playful wonderments

breathing in the creations of the clingers & weavers
(clingers ~ the vine tenacles .......weavers ~ spider webs)

can i really know that i am...
am i in balance if i am......

aha....i am

i am

i am

...
the observer

the observed

...

the question

...
the answer


...........the voice within recants

PASSION

Passion is energy.
Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.

If you want to accomplish the goals of your life,
you have to begin with the spirit.
