LISTEN TO THE CHILDREN, BECOME THAT CHILD AGAIN~ KINDNESS=PEACE=LOVE~

Make Mother Earth proud~
Photobucket Bucky Fuller Quote

Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine. ~Budda~

Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the Earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know - the Earth does not belong to man - man belongs to the Earth. This we know. Chief Seattle NATIVE ART FROM THE PNW~SALMON~ Qunache

It is astonishing how little one feels alone when one loves. ~John Bulwer +++++++++++++++++++++++

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.
Photobucket Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods. Japanese Proverb

Photobucket We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other. To meet, to love, to share. It is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parentheses in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other, and this moment will have been worthwhile." Deepak Chopra
PENCIL SKETCH WOMAN You can only perceive what you already are.
"Did you know...that when you walk past a flower, whether it be in somebody's garden or on a vacant hillside, the flower will always smile at you. The most polite way to respond, I've been told, is to cheerfully return the smile."

Alice and the Cat: Quotes from Alice in Wonderland Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people. The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Alice: How do you know I'm mad? The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here. Alice: And how do you know that you're mad? The Cat: To begin with, a dog's not mad. You grant that? Alice: I suppose so, The Cat: Well, then, you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

About me

Cannon Beach, Or, my hometown~

Of all the seas in all the worlds, I'm so glad you swam into my Sea. —ASRAI~

The City of Cannon Beach is located on the Pacific Northwest Coast of Oregon, 80 miles west of Portland and 25 miles south of Astoria, Cannon Beach is surrounded by the rugged natural beauty of forests, ocean beaches, and rivers. Only four miles in length, and with a population near 1,600, Cannon Beach is a popular and picturesque resort area, playing host to an estimated over 750,000 visitors annually. Although Cannon Beach was incorporated as a city in 1957, it has been occupied much longer: first by native cultures, and then, since the late 1800s, by American settlers. In 1806, Captain William Clark, of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, traveled south to our area in order to secure needed blubber from a whale beached near the mouth of Ecola Creek.

Photobucket The Duchess: Alice in Wonderland Quotes If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does. Photobucket AWESOME PHOTO BY GGR4U1~ G, THIS QUOTE IS FOR YOU My DEAR G MAN~ Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. Anais Nin

Sometimes I go about pitying myself And all the while I am being carried across the sky By beautiful clouds. Ojibway Indian Poem
Artist Winky Wheeler~~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I can hear the ocean slap the shore, and sooth my inner restless being, I am here...for you and all who need my magic sounds. I know the mysteries, I know the truth. I am the cycle of the waters, I am part of the water within you... my small friend. Cycle to cycle, we share life. But life to the waters is so much easier, than to the human beings. Oh yes, Thank you my friend (water) for you give peace within, when I listen. The pounding drum of time, constant. Human beings come and go, but the waters have touched them all, until it drains from them, back into the cycle to come together as a basic element of Life, of Creation. Just wanted to share what came from with in, as I awoke. :0) ~ASRAI~ Photobucket

ASRAI~~ IS A WATER FAIRY, AND WHEN HUMANS TRY AND CAPTURE HER SHE TURNS TO WATER AND FLOWS BACK HOME~ Photobucket

Photobucket Psychic stillness is so difficult because it makes us naked to ourselves. This is why self-acceptance is essential. Otherwise, we never give ourselves permission to be still.

Rosen flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons ev'rywhere I've looked at clouds that way~ But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on ev'ryone~ So many things I would have done~ But clouds got in my way~ I've looked at clouds from both sides now~ From up and down, and still somehow~ It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all~~ ~Joni Mitchell Clouds Lyrics~~
Photobucket Take hold of your own life. See that the whole existence is celebrating. These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious. The rivers and the oceans are wild, and everywhere there is fun, everywhere there is joy and delight. Watch existence, listen to the existence and become part of it. Osho
