I Have Found Such Joy
by Grace Noll Crowell
I have found such joy in simple things;
A plain, clean room, a nut-brown loaf of bread
A cup of milk, a kettle as it sings,
The shelter of a roof above my head,
And in a leaf-laced square along the floor,…
PEACE IS EVERY STEP
by Thich Nhat-Hanh
Peace is every step.
The shining red sun is my heart.
Each flower smiles with me.
How green, how fresh all that grows.
How cool the wind blows.
Peace is every step.
It turns the endless path to joy.
"Humans are powerful spiritual beings meant to create good on earth. This good isn't usually accomplished in bold actions, but in
singular acts of kindness between people. It's the little things that count, because they are more spontaneous and show…
"Be content with what you have;
Rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
The whole world belongs to you."
~ Lao-Tzu
I believe we would be happier to have a personal revolution in our
individual lives and go back to simpler living and more direct
thinking. It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile,
the sweet fundamental things such as love and du…
It is a glorious privilege to live, to know, to act, to listen,
to behold, to love. To look up at the blue summer sky;
to see the sun sink slowly beyond the line of the horizon;
to watch the worlds come twinkling into view, first one
by one, and the…
May you listen to your longing to be free.
May the frames of your belonging be large enough for the dreams of your soul.
May you arise each day with a voice of blessing whispering in your heart
...something good is going to happen to you.
May you fi…
Symphony of Contentment
To live content with small means.
To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion.
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich.
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly.

Mine is a pilgrimage to peace. I am a spiritual gardener sowing seeds of positive transformation. Life is a tapestry we weave each day and i seek to live by imagination while exploring new possibilities. I am attempting to actualize my highest vision while creating a spiritual environment of love , light and understanding. I walk a path of giving with a harmony that is omnipresent. Like a lullaby from a music box my soul plays a symphony that i may truly enjoy this dance of life.
Sacred Mother Earth is at a crossroads and we as caretakers must align ourselves with the spirit in an attempt to reverse the damage that we have caused so that future generations can live peacefully and sustainably in celebration of the divine. We must live a life of meaning and contribution as we serve to protect our planet. The river of inspiration is within us and we must strive to make sure its waters are clean.
I have left my footprints in the wind as i travel a path of conscious intent. The womb of nature has caressed my spirit and inspired me to facilitate positive change as i seek to advance human understanding. I walk a rainbow trail where i embrace the world with love . Mine is a passionate vision nurtured by Mother Earth . Through exploration and expression i seek to enhance the flow of positive energy for my fellow spiritual travelers. The simplicity of the soul is enchanting and endearing , it generates peace and love and inspires me to embrace the infinite life force while being a catalyst for conscious evolution.

LET NO MAN RAISE HIS HAND
As a man I have seen far to many women suffer abuse at the hands of men.
From this point on Let No Man Raise His Hand in Anger , Let No Man Raise His Hand in Hate , Let No Man Raise His Hand in Conflict for to do so diminishes the Human Spirit.
Women are our greatest treasure. They bring life into the world. They nurture our spirits and nourish our souls yet far too many of them suffer at the hands of men. What is wrong with us as a society that in the 21st century we still allow this to take… Continue

IF MY SOUL HAD BUT ONE THOUGHT
In my heart theres a garden where a tree of life grows whose fruit will nourish my soul when I am hungry and whose leaves will provide me shelter when I am old."
I am a gardener of spirit planting seeds that will bear fruit long after I have left this mortal coil. The mystery of life is such that I am inspired to connect with my soul in a dance of timeless truths and sacred visions. It is my desire to live with simple dignity while creating harmony and peace.

REVERENCE FOR LIFE ( Thoughts of a Spiritual Revolutionary )
In these difficult times its important that we understand what our journey is about. We are all on a journey of the soul and with that must come a reverence for life. It is those without reverence whose ignorance and lack of understanding create the havoc we see around the world today. For the planet to survive we must seek to change peoples paradigms one soul at a time.
The inner garment of our soul is one of inspiration and imagination. It is crucial that we use that garment to embra… Continue

Would You Nurture My Soul
"Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before."
Erich Fromm
Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?
The landscape of human feeling is awash with sadness and depression. For we… Continue

- Hello, The circle of time, and how interesting it is. Several years ago you saw my website, Ancient Sounds, and we communicated. If my memory serves me you do readings and live in Canada. Thank you for inviting me to be your friend on this sight. Seems like you understand social networking. Wish I had a better grasp of it. I'm going by a new name now, Mary Electra and I've finished my book last year. The website for the book is www.timetobealive.com.
