The Dance ..... for Spencer

 

Music - Lyrics: GARTH BROOKS Photos: Kristi

Lyrics:
  Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above.
For a moment all the world was right .
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye .
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance.
Holding you I held everything..
For a moment wasn't I a king.
But if I'd only known how the king would fall..
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all.
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go.
Our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance.
Yes my life is better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance.

A Day with the Canvas of Life

O' to the Thrill of using a camera ...

Viewing Life thru another lens ....

The fun of seeing with New Eyes .....

YES !!!!!

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...

Poetry by ~ MARK NEPO ~ Photo by ~ GREGORY COLBERT ~

SAY WHAT YOU FEEL.....

Be who you are
and say
what you feel
because those
who mind don't matter
and those
who matter don't mind.

ENTER into the Divine......

God enters by a private door

THE DOOR ... into the realm of Spirit

...the excitement
we feel
when we hear
the drumbeat -
tells us
this is the
skeleton key
that opens
the door into
the realm
of spirit

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 ~

What ONE can be...ONE MUST BE

Whatever

is
bringing you

down,

get rid of it.

you'll find

that when

you are free,

your true creativity,

your true self...

comes out

~Tina Turner~

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)

Photo & Prose by ~Kristi ~

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.....

LOVE

......where there is love......there is no question

~Marianne Williamson~..just one sincere surrendered moment when love matters more than anything and we know that nothing else really matters at all.

We are so

lightly here

It is in love
that we are made

In love we disappear

~Leonard Cohen~

"To know love of another....

you must find it

within yourself.

You manifest only that

which reflects

from your heart"

~ RUMI ~

In order to create...

there must be

a dynamic force....

and what force

is more potent

than love?
~ Igor Stravinsky~

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 !

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.
