Celebrations

When we drove by the Chinese Embassy today, there were bright red lanterns, flowers and decorations everywhere, it seemed so festive. In China the Mid-Autumn Harvest festival takes place between September and October and commemorates the largest and brightest moon of the season. It is a big celebration friends and family share moon cakes by the dozen ( see the moon cakes in left hand corner of the picture.)

The Chinese love red, red is a happy colour, the above are Chinese Lanterns hanging in Yu Garden, during the Chinese New Year. The next picture was taken in Beijing during the Mid Autumn Festival.

We all celebrate life in different ways. Lately the gift of life has played a pivotal part in my life.The energy of another human being provides a shaft of energy that oscillates giving wing to feelings and emotions that have lain dormant or have been simply non-existent. Can one die and be reborn. What determines the essence of life, and how it is lived. We are told that life is the process of being alive, during our day-to-day experiences and challenges.

Imagine sharing such a moment with another being, the awe, the speechless wonder that such a feeling can be shared, can be realized, and then released. Today, I saw the signs of a celebration, then later in the day, I felt the elation of an explosion of life-giving proportion, so great that it left me in a state of wonder. Surreal?

coping

word so easily flow for me,

yet this evening I am at a loss

I am trying to understand, how one so young can no longer want to live

while we wait, for news, if he will make it through this tragedy

I thank God for my blessings, and for the life I’ve lived

I ask myself, could I have done more

should I have known, were there signs that I missed

no one can know of course, what is really in someone else’s heart

how heavy the burden must have been

how alone he must have felt

now we wait and hope it is not too late.

Please pray for all the quiet souls who suffer in silence

so caught up in our own needs and wants

we sometimes forget to look around

and reach out with kindness

to someone who could use a friend.

I hold you all in my prayers

even though the miles are many and the distance way too far

for me to physically reach out and touch you

know that you never leave my mind.

and to you who is now clinging to what is left of your life

I close my eyes and pray with all my might

that the gentle hand of God will do what is right

& allow the blessing of peace this night

the lonely tear

the rain fell, I could hear it beating relentlessly on the window pane

I knew eventually it would end, just like I knew that tomorrow

would be another day, whether the sun shone, or it didn’t

the pain inside, would still be the same

when we open our hearts to love without restriction, only unconditional love

we agree to the live the roller coaster of emotion that will eventually

wash over us. as we are betrayed by the one lonely tear

that single tear that escapes to leave a trail of scaring from the past

reminding us … that… like the love songs on the radio

to know love is to know sadness and sorrow

no, not for love lost, but for a love so strong that it embraces the hurt and disappointments

of another, and cries in frustration at not being able to erase the other’s pain

to love with untethered , unbridled passion, so intense, so powerful

that the one single tear,holds the commitment of all eternity

a love pure. strong and so divine, that no name or word can describe

the wonder of that single tear

one can’t know love without knowing the agony of a bruised and broken heart

to open up to a love so sublime that the single tear is a subliminal message

to the brain and heart, that at this moment, at this time, you are in a state

of now and forever… the lonely tear is a testament to all that has gone before

and the proof a human heart beats in time to the

rhythm of life’s ongoing energy

of love in the now

forever and always

amen

taken from Chinese verses by Sengtsan, Translation from Chinese by Richard B. Clarke

The Great Way – TAO – is not difficult,

for those who have no preferences.

When love and hate are both absent

everything becomes clear and undisguised.

Make the smallest distinction, however,

and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

If you wish to ee the truth

then hold no opinions for or against

The struggle for what one likes and what

on dislikes, is the disease of the mind

When the deep meaning of things is not understood

the mind’s essential peace is disturbed to no avail

The Way is perfect like vast space

where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.

Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject

that we do not see the true nature of things.

Live neither in the entanglements of outer things, or the in inner feelings of emptiness.

Be serene (without striving activity) in the oneness of things and such erroneous views will disappear by themselves.

When you try to stop activity to achieve passivity your very effort fills you with activity.

As long as you remain in one extreme or the other. You will never know Oneness.

goedemorgen, buenos dias, bonjour

When all the world is quiet around you

When only the sound of nature us there to soothe you

do you hear my voice at all

seeing the roots exposed, then leading back down unto the ground

do you wonder at how that tree stands so tall

I am, here you know

in every blade of grass,

in every branch that reaches for the sky

in every crystal grain of sand

You need only look around you, to see me

all around, and yes, that bird calling

and the chattering of the squirrels, those are all my sounds

for I am the world around you

and you my child are mine too

now forever and always.

being thankful

I remember being totally fascinated and captivated by the story of Easter Island. I was lost in the mystery of it all. I dreamed of travelling there to see the giants for myself. I never did, instead as i made my way in life, I found that my life itself was full of mysteries , my own wonders at the complexities in life, How I could love so much and enjoy so much yet seem to always be “odd person out”

Even when I hurt, or feeling sad and down, they were feelings that I seemed to revel in, I basked in the emotions that engulfed me and examined how they made me feel and how I got there. They were lessons, I went through the heartbreak of wanting so much for someone to care, and not recognizing that a relationship is based on BOTH parties being of the same mind.

It takes living the experience to learn the value of the lesson taught. I have been blessed with many lessons in life. Each lesson has made me a much stronger and independent woman. It is in paying attention to each and every moment of our lives that we grow, that we blossom, unfold and mature into the person we become. In a lifetime, we continue to experience the many changes and lessons until it is time for us to quietly transition to another state of BEING.

When we truly appreciate all that we have lived, and what IS, Then and only then will we find true happiness. Give thanks every day for the wonders in life that have blessed you during your lifetime. To every negative there is a positive. Kindness and love for another are gifts to be treasured. I give thanks for each and everyone of you, you are so very appreciated.

Namaste – Oyashikiri

Snow in March

It was a fresh blanket of snow when that greeted me when I opened the door to let the dog out. That magical soft white that sits like powdered sugar on the trees and dusts everything in sight with a crystal blanket of angel dust.The early morning sky still had a soft gray shading that had the world around still in sleep mode. No buses, no cars, just the soothing quiet of an early morning. T’is lovely, and I was tempted, very tempted to step outside and sit in a deck chair to extend the beauty of the moment.

The season’s change, sometimes they simply blend one into the other, and other times, the change can be more dramatic. Life, mirrors the cycles that transpire in Nature . Sometimes we are very much center stage, at other times we are back stage,making it all happen, or in the audience, enjoying watching events unfold.

Wherever the path leads today, I know it will be a great day, why, because it is my choice to have a good day. I will share with friends I meet along the way, and will be blessed by the joy of sharing. Even if it is for a moment or two, when we connect and focus on the moment, we are, in that moment,ONE with God/life/Universe.

I commit this day to be one of growth in every area of my life.
