A Lesson of Peace From An Old Guitar

Sometimes, the greatest parables can be found in everyday situations. What you’re about to read is something that happened to me in August, 1964. It’s the story of an encounter between me and my father, Eola Hinson.

I’ll never forget the lesson he taught me that day … it’s one that I’ve passed down to my children, and to others. It’s my hope that someone will find the lesson in it, as well, and pass it on to those who can use the wisdom he conveyed in… Continue

-I wandered lonely as a cloud- POEM BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them… Continue

Wisdom From My Friend Bill

The words of Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for.... and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of… Continue

DAILY QUOTE BY LYNN FISHMAN

DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN, BUT RATHER EMBRACE IT AS A PART OF YOURSELF.

"A person needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change."

SPIRIT OF OPULENCE!

THE SPIRIT OF OPULENCE

By Thomas Troward, Excerpt from “The Hidden Power”

“It is quite a mistake to suppose that we must restrict and stint ourselves in

order to develop greater power or usefulness. This is to form the conception of

the Divine Power as so limited that the best use we can make of it is by a policy of

self-starvation, whether material or mental. Of course, if we believe that some

form of self-starvation is necessary to our producing good… Continue

Daily Quote By Lynn Fishman

PAIN IS OFTEN CAUSED BY ILLUSION.

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

Weekly Tidbit: Love the Process

As children we understand the joy in the experience, the doing and being in the act of creating our life in the moment. Watch kids building a sand castle; on some level they know that the ocean will claim their efforts, but that is not important. The fun is in the making of the castle, the process of creation in that very moment of time.

Too often as adults we get preoccupied with the end product of our efforts. In Alexander Technique lessons, over focus on the results is called… Continue

Choose words well

A traditional indigenous arrowmaker lived with starkness and functionality, as though living was chipped as deliberately as the arrows that he crafted… conditioned with an understanding of only using what is necessary… appeared to guide his life. When he took up an arrow and straightened it in his teeth, as it was right for him to do and drew it to the bow…he re-enacted centuries old traditions and habits, in just a few flowing movements. Simple and austere, portraying the dignity of ordinary… Continue

DAILY QUOTE BY LYNN FISHMAN

HANG IN THERE.

UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE THE CHALLENGES ARE GREAT, SO TOO IS THE CREATIVE POWER TO DEAL WITH THOSE CHALLENGES. IT COULD NOT BE OTHERWISE, FOR THIS IS A UNIVERSAL LIFE LESSON.

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Quote of the Day 12

All that is visble, clings to the invisible, the audible to the inaudible, the tangible to the itangible: Perhaps the thinkable to the unthinkable. (Novalis, qtd. in Govinda, 17).

The White Peacocks Journey

The White Peacocks Journey

In the land of Zen there lived a white peacock.

She spent her days dreaming in a tree,

longing of the magic sparkles in the grass,

where the rainbows flowed so free.

She wondered of the Maidens Sphere,

She marveled of her wings.

how will I find the blue-eyed plume,

unless I sread my wings.

On winds of Bluebells Cloak, she flew,

beyond the unicorns pastures,

as… Continue

The Maidens Sphere

The Maiden's Sphere

The morning winds gently awakened the white peacock.

She gently shook the sleep away.

As tiny raindrops fell, she pondered what she dreamed.

If indeed the blue-eyed plume was closer than it seemed.

The beauty of the waterfalls, the diamond dust so clear.

Peacock Lagoon was richly blessed, the Maiden's Sphere was near.

The colours of the rainbow led the way.

The BEAUtiful Life Spheres,… Continue

Twilight and Dawn

Twilight and Dawn

Rene Wadlow*

The alternation of night and day is a cosmic process of which humans have been long aware and which has led to dualistic thinking: day and night, light and dark, right and wrong, pure and impure. However, during this alternation of night and day, there are two periods of transition — twilight as the day fades and night comes on, and dawn as night is replaced by the rays of the coming sun. During these periods of transition, shapes are less clear.… Continue

A Day In The Snow ~ Shared Thoughts On Healing Grief and Loss

~A Day in the Snow~

A vision revelation about grief and loss.

On a recent journey exploring the beauty of nature I had a vision.

My path was not clear as there was a couple of feet of snow to walk through.

Every step I took forward created my own path.

As I walked toward my favorite tree I settled my mind into a place of peace.

My ancient tree was laden with snow so I lightened his load

by removing some snow from his… Continue
