A LOVE UNSPOKEN...
:sw_april2017:
The moon represents love, mystery, and promise.
A LOVE that lasts and in mystery it grows.
It takes on a symbolic meaning that transforms it into a magical wishing star.
Never stop wishing for the things that are dear to your HEART.

When You Understand The Essence Of The Moon, You're No Longer "IN THE DARK."
The moon softly enfolds our attention and illuminates our spirit.
:sw_april2017-2:
There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is...
YOUR HEART AND THE MOON!

Absolutely AMAZING moon pics!!!!

And I just LOVE how you used Boston as your backdrop!

Gorgeous!!!

Great thread SW! Truth and how to get it, if even possible anymore, has been on my mind a lot lately. All kind of perspectives on truth in this thread. I guess we were bound to hit this point of no external consensus any longer (at least it seems that to me) therefore the truth within becomes the foundation.

Hi there Isis!!! It is wonderful to see you and for your insight. I have always loved your insight...appreciate it so much. Absolutely spot on Isis...in your words I highlighted. You are amazing!!!!

And I believe that...
:sw_true-friends:

There is an impulse that causes motion and stirs YOU into motion.
An energy that motivates YOU to do something...
an impulse filled with ENERGY AND INSPIRATION that is so powerful it carries YOU forward.
Inspiration and energy comes from the impulse to achieve HIGHER LOVE in our lives.
When YOU achieve HIGHER LOVE, YOU will want to motivate others to experience this beautiful gift for themselves.
Be guided by HIGHER IMPULSES OF LOVE. Think of yourself as a MOTIVATIONAL FORCE of delight in the universe!



"Don't Be Afraid To Be Weak. Don't Be Proud To Be Strong. Just Look Into Your Heart, My Friend."

"If You Want, Then Start To Laugh. If You Must, Then Start To Cry. Be Yourself Don't Hide. Just Believe In Destiny.
Don't Care What People Say. Just Follow Your Own Way. Don't Give Up And Use The Chance To Return To Innocence."

"This Is Not The Beginning Of The End...It Is The Return To YOURSELF...The Return To Innocence!"

Most of us are seeking meaning in our lives. Many times, we don't realize that we are searching for meaning...we just know that somewhere deep inside of us is a gnawing void, an empty space that is yearning to be filled with something to warm our hearts and give our lives a sense of joyful purpose.

The only way for you to truly fill the void is by developing personal spiritual values. Always pay attention to everything that surrounds you...something meaningful may be brought to you that you were not expecting. Love, peace, joy, happiness, creativity, and humor are all gifts that are given freely to bring meaning to your life. With these gifts, you are also given a new power of perception to help you detect what isn't meaningful to your growth and awareness.

The only lasting gifts are those of the human spirit. As long as you have love, joy, light, and inner peace...your life will be FULL OF MEANING.

POSITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS...

Consciousness is awareness, and in order to become more aware it is important to develop a positive consciousness. With positive consciousness YOU do not deny the negative or try to manipulate the universe into doing your will. Instead, YOU work at replacing negative thoughts with loving thoughts, and YOU view whatever challenge that comes to YOU as a tool that helps YOU grow. As your consciousness shifts from negative to positive, and as your perceptions become more loving and non-judgmental...YOU begin to attract peace and live fulfilling experiences and moments. As YOU begin to see the world through loving eyes, YOU will begin to attract more and more positive energy into your life. So live your life with true awareness and never stop developing your positive consciousness. :)

PEACE AND HEARTBREAK IS...
A Place Where There Is Laughter, Cuddling, And Moments Of Silence.
A Deep Feeling Of Comfort That Allows You To Get Lost In Your Thoughts.
A Silence That Helps You Through All The Chaos That Is Surrounding.
A Pain That Reminds You That You Are Alive.
A Calm That Inspires You With A Life That Is Filled With Everlasting Moments.
A Whisper That Never Lets You Forget.
A Love That Strengthens Your Inner Spirit.


It's A Quiet Voice That No One Hears...

BE FLEXIBLE WITH DIFFICULTY...

The nature of water is to ADAPT itself instantly to any obstacle in its path, by moving at its OWN PACE, and BEGIN a natural process of surmounting it. Does this sound familiar to you? Be like water...if you can learn to flow with adversity, you will eventually overcome it!! And it is only through our flowing with life that we are able to ADAPT and GROW. Remember, life is MOVEMENT...and if you cease to flow with it, it will pass you by. Like Bruce Lee once said, "Running water never grows stale. So you've got to just "keep on flowing."

THE EFFECTS OF A CHANGING CHARACTER...

Mythological and metaphysically the moon embodies the qualities of intuition, receptivity, and desire for harmony and wholeness.
Unlike the sun, it continually changes character, moving, in its various phases, from abundance to scarcity to complete seclusion.
When you look at the moon, YOU behold a mysterious unity of light and darkness, visible and invisible, known and unknown.
A unity that echoes in the deepest recesses of even our own ever-changing, ever-mysterious selves.

Hear with your heart, see with your soul, be guided by a hand that you cannot hold, and trust even if you cannot see. FEEL!
Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will. You just have to stop thinking so much and just go where your heart takes you.

Fill your life with hope,
embrace the love all around you,
and always have faith.

Poem I wrote last week. Maybe it will touch/speak to some of yall.



MAYBE

Maybe the stars come out tonight
Their brilliance is a guiding force
Maybe the moon radiates bright
Traversing its heavenly course

Maybe the early dew sprinkles the ground
Preparing to glimmer in the early ray
Maybe the sun breaches without a sound
Overflowing leaves darkness nowhere to stay

Maybe the birds sing a beautiful tune
Signaling the call to welcome the new day
Maybe life begins to awake and strewn
As they scurry and enter the joyful fray

Maybe you are the deep focus of love
Beyond what you can possibly understand
Maybe you are not alone from above
From the One who delicately wrote your plan

Awe...your post just made me smile so big!!!
Thank you for deciding to share your wonderful poem here.
I love your meaningful words, and I appreciate this poem so much.
Keep writing and sharing Cavjock!!!

BE GRATEFUL FOR THIS DAY NO MATTER WHAT...

Life lives, life dies.
Life laughs, life cries.
Life gives up, and life tries.

Life looks different through everyone's eyes.
One of the hardest things in life is letting go of what you thought was real.
We all have faced the challenges of everyday life.
At certain points in our lives we find ourselves broken and hurt.
True strength is found in picking up the pieces.
When nothing makes sense and the world seems upside down...
ALWAYS listen to your heart, it will never lie about your true feelings.


I Hope You Have A Wonderful Day Always!

CLOUDS ORCHESTRATE THE SYMPHONY OF NATURE...

Filling Daybreak And Night break With The Soft Glow Of Expectation And The Passionate Hues Of Memory.
Clouds Are Masters Of Imagination...Like Clouds You Can Create Your Own Beautiful Moments, Passionate Memories,
And Lives Filled With Imagination And Wonder.
:sw_aboveclouds:
The clouds mirror images of heaven that inspire your spirit.
They echo the many different parts of your makeup that can, at any given moment, cause you
to experience a beautiful gift...One That Was Meant For YOU!

VISION COMES IN MANY FORMS...

Like in sight itself, a goal or dream you see yourself accomplishing/doing, or a sighting of something beyond the ordinary senses.
Vision incorporates all of these aspects into one big expansion of perception.
When you acquire true vision...YOU SEE CLEARLY-into and beyond the present confines of time and space.
You perceive many different levels of reality, and you use the information to create what is not yet but what can and will be.

Be open to all possibilities and hold the vision of what you desire to accomplish deep in your consciousness.
Allow your vision to grow and to develop in its own unique way/pace.
When you truly see beyond what you see and accept what you don't understand,
you grow closer to the true meaning of life and to yourself.
Become one with the rhythms, sounds, and sights of nature,
and allow the great mystery to reveal itself to you in whatever form it chooses.

CONSTANT BALANCE- GO TO THE CENTER OF YOUR CIRCLE...

A balance and union. All things are in balance. To take on the idea to not resist nor embrace either side,
but to accept both in perfect balance. Understand that one can not exist without the other.
Peace and Chaos. Pain and Joy. Light and Dark. When we are in conflict with someone or something,
we must understand how to go to our center/core in order to understand the full meaning,
of ourselves and the conflict that presents itself. The tension between you and that conflict is like the circumference of a circle.
In order to learn about yourself and your purpose, be present to this conflict and move toward your
CENTER...WHERE THE PEACE OF YOURSELF LIVES.
:sw_constant:
You must embrace this conflict for yourself with love, support, acceptance, and prayer.
These four corners mold you and will help bring you to your center. In order to capture the four corners,
you must accept your challenges and face them...to OVERCOME them. You must free yourself from this grip,
that this tension has on you and your life. You need to consider your conflict as an experience-you must relate to it
and grow from it. Change your way of thinking with love, support, acceptance, and prayer. Allow your conflict to help...
you discover what is truly happening inside of you. ALWAYS HOPE, BELIEVE, AND HAVE FAITH.

Our spirits are beautiful mirrors that seek to reflect the light. You cannot see your spirit's reflection, but if you could you would see many different degrees of light. We all have the potential to have a light bright enough to forever illuminate our path and the paths of those we come in contact with...Believe in what lives inside of YOU. YOU MUST SEEK AND DISCOVER IT.The light of the spirit is the light of your truth...the light of your purpose...the light of your love. The more you live in truth and love, the more light you reflect back to the world. You are a mirror for the light of truth, purpose, and love. The clearer your mirror is, the more light you reflect to illuminate the darkness. Bring your love and light out and begin to see all the light and love that surrounds you.
