July 15 2018 Harmony



🌸🎼🌳🌼🎼🌺
Morning, song from birds
Mid-day, chant harmonizes
Sunset, daughter sings.

🌸🎼🌳🌼🎼🌺

Yesterday was (as always) a perfect day. Sometimes the ‘perfect day’ includes jagged edges and a poor choice or two – and then hopefully lessons learned. Sometimes it is a day like yesterday. Full to overflowing with joyous song and harmony.
With gratitude for the sweet birds who live on the land and share their lives beginning with morning song. To stand on the back deck looking for the sun to come up over the high hill to the east and listen to the winged ones call out - encouraging day’s breaking – a joyful beginning.
With gratitude for sweet human song as friends gather mid-day and with instruments and voice chanting with full throat calling OM – devotion, peace and fervor in abundance.

Then, as life on the mountain settles in for the night and the grand children are making their last run across the land calling out with joyful sound – I sit with daughters – and listen to Starr sharing evening song. The living ones on the land listen and are – like me – grateful.

Aum (Om). The Sanskrit root word or seed-sound symbolizing that aspect of Godhead which creates and sustains all things; Cosmic Vibration. Aum of the Vedas became the sacred word Hum of the Tibetans; Amin of the Moslems; and Amen of the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Jews, and Christians.

Crystal listens as Starr sends out in a voice
 – in harmony with the land –
 a gift to all. 
The critters on the land listen with thank you in their hearts – 
as do I.

July 14, 2018 Joy out of Suffering

☁️ 🌥 ⛅️ 🌤 ☀️
Ma, everywhere !
Out of this dark suffering
Still, You care for me.

☁️ 🌥 ⛅️ 🌤 ☀️ 

In the times of deepest despair, as I watch and experience the suffering of life on this earth, yet do I know and feel – Your loving and protective touch. I can not even begin to imagine what it would be like to walk across this life, if I did not know that You were there with me and also with all of my brothers and sisters. Even when we have made foolish – or harder yet, selfish choices – yet You are there with us – guiding, loving and protecting.
Beloved Mother in many guises – thank you – thank you – thank you.

“He has made Himself very plain in the flowers
 and the sky, and the sun moon, stars.”
Paramahansa Yogananda
(from a lecture titled Smile Millionaire)

“Gloom is but the shade of Divine Mother’s hand outstretched caressingly. Don’t forget that. Sometimes, when the Mother is going to caress you, a shadow is caused by Her hand before it touches you. So, when trouble comes, don’t think that She is punishing you; Her hand overshadowing you holds some blessing as it reaches out to bring you nearer to Her.”
Paramahansa Yogananda
