Pokarekare Ana (for this first week in May) so I can observe the blog silence tomorrow...

 

There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family.
Find them.
Love them.

~Mother Theresa

 

 

 

(I thank our friend Mitch for sharing this beautiful song with us)

I am flying this morning to visit my Mother and although I will be on the computer from time to time while I am there ~ I will not want to take away from my visit with her so as much time as I would like to spend with each of you (especially to make up for the time I have not this week because of work), I will only spend short visits with you, but to each and everyone of you I would like to say "May

"

Your rainbow will come smiling through...

 

The work will wait while you

show the child the rainbow,

but the rainbow won't wait

while you do the work.

~unknown

Have faith in your dreams and someday

your rainbow will come smiling through.

No Matter how your heart is grieving,

if you keep believing,

the dream that you wish will come true.

( a butterfly for my friend Laughing Dove)

I Want everyone to

The true harvest of my life...

 

The true harvest of my life is intangible ~

a little stardust caught,

a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.

~Henry David Thoreau

Don't miss all the beautiful colors

of the rainbow looking for the pot of gold!

~unknown

May God give you...

For every storm a rainbow,

for every tear a smile,

and a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,

a faithful friend to share,

for every sigh a sweet song,

and an answer for each prayer.

~Irish Blessing

Believe in...

 

Let no one who loves

be unhappy,

even love unreturned has it's

rainbow.

~James M. Barrie

Believe in love

Love your family ~ Love your friends.

Have a day filled with love.

From the book of Genesis

 

"And God said, 'This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.'"

~an excerpt from the book of Genesis, Chapter 9

Remember all your promises and have a wonderful day!

The Rainbow Connection

 

There is nothing more beautiful than a rainbow -

but it takes both rain and sunshine to make one.

If life is to be rounded and many-colored,

like a rainbow, both joy and sorrow

must come into it.

~Scott Holman

Let us never forgot the rainbow is a promise.

And God wants us to know...

May your week be filled

with larger rainbows

than rain~~~

Time with a friend....

   

(Different type blog for me, but along the same lines

as it is about nature but actual happenings.. .)

Spent the afternoon with a friend in a park -

just walking, sitting and talking -

it was wonderful - it was honest - it was real....

As good as fishing in a well stocked pond

or camping at the edge of a beautiful river...

Made me remember why I love people so much -

real sincere people.

If laughter is good medicine -

than I had a lot of good medicine today.

But more important - it felt good to share....

(Laughter, stories, and time...)

Thank you, my friend for such a wonderful day

(you are so special)

and

may there be many more....

for others....

as well as for us.....

I thank you God...

   

I thank you God for this most amazing day,

for the leaping greenly spirits of trees,

and for the dream of sky,

and for everything which is natural,

which is infinite,

which is yes.

~e.e. cummings

After all, I don't see why I am always asking

for private, individual, selfish miracles

when every year there are

miracles like white dogwoods.

~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Forget not that the earth delights

to feel your bare feet and

the winds long to play with your hair.

~Kahil Gibran

And I'm

Look at the trees

   

Look at the trees, look at the birds,

look at the clouds, look at the stars...

And if you have eyes you will be able to see

that the whole existence is joyful.

 

Everything is simply happy.

 

 

Trees are happy for no reason;

 

They are not going to become prime ministers

or presidents,

 

and they are not going to become rich,

 

And they will never have any bank balance.

 

Look at the flowers - for no reason.

 

It is simply unbelievable

 

how happy flowers are.

 

~Osho

Hope you are too!

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature,

which, if we unconsciously yield to it,

will direct us aright.

~ Henry David Thoreau

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Entry for April 17, 2007

 

If the sight of the blue skies

fills you with joy,

If a blade of grass springing up in the fields

has the power to move you,

If the simple things of nature have a message

that you understand,

Rejoice, for your soul is alive...

~Eleonora Duse

 

 

 

 

 

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you,

and the storms their energy,

while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

~ John Muir
