The Grain Of Sand

11/29/2013

I love this image of magnified grains of sand (magnified 250 times).  Each grain is so thoroughly unique and different in shape, colour, texture and even size.  It would be lovely to scoop up a small amount of sand and see this myriad of complexity in your own hand, if only our human eyes could distinguish such small complex objects.  These grains are so individual and have spent many years been tossed against one another or rolled and washed together by the waves, this gives them their individual shape and textures.  


We are not unlike the grains of sand.  We are all different and unique.  Yet looked at as a whole we may appear the same or to have similar qualities but when put under a microscope our uniqueness shines through.  We develop our texture and surface from our experiences in life and end up polished and glistening from our journey here on earth just like the gems of polished grains above.  


Next time you're at the beach take a look at the sand and imagine you are just one of those grains, but remember that if you could really see the beauty and complexity of the beach in magnified vision you would be walking on an incredibly colourful carpet of rare gems.

The Last Prayer of Eli

I'd gone to bed early to catch up on some well needed sleep.  My adorable hubby had crept quietly into bed without waking me - bless him!  I'm not sure how long I was asleep but at some point I woke up and heard the following words filling the bedroom... 
Dear Lord, 
Thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. 
Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path. 
And for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost. 
Thank you for your protection and your many signs along the way. 
Thank you for any good that I may have done, I'm so sorry about the bad. 
Thank you for the friend I made. 
Please watch over her as you watched over me. 
Thank you for finally allowing me to rest. I'm so very tired, but I go now to my rest at peace. 
I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith.

To be honest, I couldn't tell you what the film is about.  But the words resonated with me.


Just reading the words fill me with a gentle peace, a knowing of quiet contentment and a longing to finish my race and stand strong so I too can recite these words with true convection and love.

Whisper Of The Wind

I find myself sitting on a stone beside a slow trickling brook.  Its sound reminds me of sweet wind chimes dancing to a summer evening breeze.  I close my eyes and breathed in my surroundings in an attempt to lock the memory in my mind forever.  

As a soft warm breeze touches my cheek and I open my eyes.  The scene before me has an almost magical quality a lightness that makes me feel like i'm swaying in a  hammock or floating on a cloud.  

The breeze speaks softly as it moves softly around my face,
'Why do you sit so quietly here?'
I wished to visit somewhere peaceful, somewhere still and serene and I woke up here.' I reply.
'What is it you seek?' the breeze asks.
'Stillness." I reply.
'Stillness is an illusive quality.  If you find pure stillness you stop the wind, you stop all movement including your mind.  This can be difficult to achieve.' the breeze whispers.
"A world with stillness would be so very mundane, but stillness for a moment - a chance to capture all that is in you, around you and of you would be magical.'  I declare.
'Ah, I understand.' it murmurs softly.
'It's not too much to ask for, is it?' 
'Not at all,  you have the magic and the strength to achieve this.  But I must leave you first.'
'Do you have to go?' I ask.
'Yes, because in the stillness I cannot exist.  I must forever move, caressing all that I touch with my energy and love.  I will leave you to still this space - fill it with magic, beauty and love, even if it is just for a moment!'

A Family Funeral

11/12/2013

2 Comments

We were notified at the weekend that an elderly member of our extended family had passed away. RIP.

Is it me or does it seem when you reach middle age you suddenly seem to be attending more funerals than any other occasion.  In fact its possibly the only occasion in recent years which allows us to  catch up with family member who live far away or in other countries.  
How sad is that!  
Death is unfortunately a part of life.  It can be difficult when young people pass or when it happens suddenly.  But it touches everyone on the planet at some point in the lives. 
 
In pagan times it was thought that death was a means to be reborn back into the spiritual realm where we belonged having come here to learn or experience lessons and situations.  That is where the basis for the 'wake' has come from - the celebrating of the death and moving on of the soul.  


Although a funeral is a sad event, it allows family time to say farewell to their loved one and is a good time to celebrate the departed's life and how they touched and interacted with those in their life.  It allows others to see how loved, cherished and admired the departed was and how they inspired and touched the hearts of family and friends.  


Funerals should be a celebration of life, love and a completed and accomplished journey here on earth, because after all they have not yet reached their final destination.

Remembrance

Lest we forget.
Salute the Dawn

He rises up, a dawn salute.
 A flag of honour unfurls anew.
 All packed up and off they tread,
 Manoeuvres on this sand of dread.

Sitting in a ditch today,
 holding tightly to his gun.
 For a moment he drifts away,
 on the sofa with his son.

Loud and crashing rings out around.
 Dirt and stone shower down.
 In thanks for saving his blessed soul
 He's reached another daily goal.

To take each day as it comes,
 Step to step he soldiers on.

Misty Monday Morning

Good morning all, welcome to another week.  
Although today's misty, damp and gloomy i'm in a positive mood for the coming week.  We never know what's just around the corner and I for one am going to be ready when it arrives.

I've been offline for the past few days, as my asthma has been trying to annoy me but I refuse to let it.  After spending most of the weekend holed up in my bedroom with my precious oil burner (i use water and olbas oil only) and my trusted inhalers.  I must confess it's down to weather issues that its been triggered this time.  
On waking to a dark misty morning I was greeted by our cat Ginger with a welcoming warm mieow and demands for breakfast.  I adore animals. they love us unconditionally are loyal and friendly and are always there when we need them.  Here's a few beautiful snaps of our beautiful Ginger.
