Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

Too Woo Woo?

My soul honours your soul.
I honour that the entire universe
resides within you.
I honour the light, love, truth,
beauty and peace within you,
because it is also within me.
In sharing 
we are united, 
we are the same,
we are one.

"I love this.  I know for some people it's a little out there, but if you think about it we are all simply matter...that which can neither be created nor destroyed.  Everything that each of us is made from has existed since the beginning of time and, in one form or another, will continue to exist for ever.  When my mother and sister died, it was so comforting to think of each of them as part of the air, the stars, the sky...the lilacs and the butterflies.  Naive of me perhaps, but I can't help believing that if only we could embrace this one fundamental idea we would all take a huge step forward towards living peacefully."JP

  1. We have just lost someone to suicide. I am trying to come to terms with this and find comfort in this saying.

    1. Im so sorry Chania. Suicide is a hard loss. We have had two family members take their own lives, so I think I can empathize. A wise priest told me once..."when their demons get a hold of them, there is no rationalizing, so don't even begin to try."
      Take care of yourself.

  9. Perhaps it's showing my age, but "I ache in all the places where I used to play" somehow found itself coming to mind. But then isn't that why we love LC--he puts our thoughts into poetry.
