I love the many layers in this photo!

They remind me of my own layers,

and I wonder...

Am I in touch with them?

How do they affect

my very being?

Thank you Flower Family

for drawing my attention

to my own

layers

awaiting discovery!



Enhanced Beauty..

What I love about this picture is how each

part enhances the whole...

Is this not also true

in the family of Life?

What is beautiful?

beautifulfreepictures.com

Yes..this rose is beautiful...

it is seemingly perfect...

Why is "perfect" the seeming definition

of beautiful?

Or is it just my definition...??

Beautiful is far more

than the exterior...!

Beautiful is the courage it takes

to live with oneself

AS WE ARE...

Accepting one self

for the Gift of

Who We Are.

I have been following the story

of a young woman,

who..in order to halt

a deadly flesh eating bacteria

in her body..

has lost a leg,

and is facing the loss

of both hands and

a foot..

Her response, when told of the

pending  loss of limbs,

in order to save her life...

"Lets do this"!!!

The Courage and Beauty

of this young woman

is speaking loudly to me...

For too long our culture

has had a very narrow

understanding of beauty....

and I have been guilty of the same...

All to quickly  labels

of disabled, different, strange..handicapped,

mentally challenged...

overshadow and mute..

One's Beauty...Wholeness...Courage..

Creativity..Strength and Love...

To all Beings

 whose Beauty has been overshadowed

by labels..I say to you today...

You are Beautiful...and I see your beauty.

I honor you...for Who you are...As you are...

I Thank you...for expanding my focus

and understanding 

of the true meaning of Beauty.

I love you...for you

and 

The Gift you are..

to Our One Family. 

Thank you Mother...

Thank you Mother Earth 

and all Mothers

of all Beings

who have

given so much of themselves

to nurture and sustain life

for so many.

Thank you also to those

in our lives

who have nurtured us,

as a mother would.

We Love You,

We Honor You,

We Thank You!

What do I really need?

Two  internet stories caught my attention...

The first was about a very small home on wheels,
named "a dream house,"
by those who built it. They

were debt free and owned this home..

The second story was about a gentleman 

who began five years ago,
 to live without money...

He is currently living out west,
in a cave and eating from the 

gifts of Mother Earth...

These stories have me asking of myself

"Just what do I really need

to live and to be happy?"

I'm really going to give this

some real thought...
and I hope you will too.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!!
