A flower gives hope...

 I was feeling down 

with all of the pain 

of our World Family..

and then I found this photo

and it renewed my Spirit..

If flower can blossom 

in such a difficult space...

We as a family will 

blossom with the Peace, Justice and Love 

we all desire!!!

Thank you flower for your 

Gift of Hope today. 

The Quest.....!

You are one creative and agile squirrel!!!

You knew what you wanted

and you kept at it, till you got it!!

Give me the same persistence, creativity and agility

to pursue the goals of my own life..

and have fun at the same time!!

What Tree teaches me..

Dear Tree...You give so completely...

from your deep roots hugging Mother Earth

To every branch flowing outward

giving life and beauty.

As golden sun embraces you

I feel hope and renewed energy

Thank you. 

Teach me to give as generously as you do

without seeking anything in return.

The Difference the Heart makes!!

When I listen with my heart and my head,

I find I resonate with more family members

than I could imagine....and I know...

We are ONE Family!

Their GIFTS to you...

May the peace and calm of sister water

be yours...

May the strength and endurance of brother/sister mountain and rock

be yours...

May the steadfast presence of sister/brother tree

be yours...

Together ...

Our Family members hold us

in their love.
each moment of each day.
Thank you.

The invisible...becomes visible...

 I had never seen a Female Red Cardinal 

until I saw this picture on Face Book!

Why are they so hidden, I wondered?

Is it their protective role as a Mother that keeps them from 

public view? 

Somehow, seeing this soft and vibrant presence 

was like a marker of change....

Women will be hidden no longer!!

The time is now...

that

The gifts and talents of all women

of all cultures and species,

will be recognized, affirmed, welcomed and celebrated.

So that...

through a partnership of Equals

our Global family will move 

and grow in the ways of

 Peace, Love and Sustainability.

Rings of Community...

The beauty of these winding circles 

and the pattern they create together

draws my attention.

I see 

in a beautiful form

the power of Community...

Each offers the gift of themselves

that the beauty 

of the whole

will be made visible!

Is this not what is asked

of each of us as well.

To offer the gift of ourselves

that the beauty of 

the whole

is made visible....

The wholeness of 

Family....

Community..

World...

Planet....

Universe...

Without each one

there is no fullness!!
