Hope Returns

Greetings. During May, when these pics were taken, there was a daily die-off of the bees that grace our garden. Little bodies of every variety lay everywhere. Throughout June I didn’t count a single bee. The extreme cold, and wet of June gave way to a dull, but warmer July. We have never, by the way, used weed killers, pesticides, or any suchlike chemicals on our garden. Today, at last, I saw one living bee hovering amongst our wild roses. Hope returns; there is still time for our bees. 

This post, as promised is the last of three. Next time, we will leave May for June, and fly together to a remote location somewhere in the mystical green hills of England.

Before I go, thank you to all who stop by – and if you are willing to read a little bit more, I would like to offer you these words, taken from an Irish blessing: “May you always remember when the shadows fall – you do not walk alone.”

The sun, the moon, the stars, the seas, the hills and the plains,- 

Are not these, O Soul, the Vision of Him who reigns? 

Alfred Lord Tennyson.

She Stands

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With her petals of pink, white, and yellow, our four-year old wisteria models her first ever cascading blooms. She stands and winds her branches decoratively around our old garden swing. We had almost given up on her ever blooming, until a few days ago. Our garden, despite the unseasonably chilly weeks just gone by, remains my favourite ‘room’ in the ‘house’.

As there is not one single soul among us that is not suffering in some degree, every moment spent in peaceful contemplation, or just silently enjoying an object of beauty, is a healing balm for the soul. I love the extraordinary level of emotional feedback I experience when I remember to enjoy the sensation of breathing. Ten years ago, I had much difficulty breathing, and am more than happy to have left that state behind me. Five years ago, I started using one of Dr Hulda Clark’s “Zapper” devices, and almost overnight cured myself completely of the emphysema that had clung to me. Since then, I haven’t had a head cold, or a sore throat either. These are happy facts.

Another happy fact is that truly there are more good than bad influences at work in this world, if it were not so, doesn’t it stand to reason that we wouldn’t even have a world left to work in? One completely undeniable fact is this, life is fascinating.

With my best wishes to all readers, and followers – thank you so much for dropping by. May our ongoing efforts to become more loving and forgiving find ever firmer footholds in the landscapes of our lives. Peace and Namaste from Amras.

 

 

“Virtually all of the extra-sensory abilities are easily understood,

once you realise that you exist in two different realms, a spatial,

material one for the body, and a temporal, cosmic one for the soul.

And the funny thing is, is that they aren’t “extra-sensory,”

magical or metaphysical at all—just a natural consequence of biological life,

which we can either choose to learn and use, or ignore.”

From ‘Time and Timelines’ by Daniel.

See All Our Days To Come As Blooms

 

 See all our days to come as blooms,

Our pasts, are roots,

And time, our stems,

Then let the rain fall on our leaves,

To celebrate experience.

Greetings from poorly Amras. Still experiencing problems with my eyes, got to squint to write. Once, after I had undergone a couple of eye operations, one of my teachers told me we don’t need eyes to ‘see’.  I took much comfort from this.

And, having worked in casualty departments for decades, I have always been astounded at just how tough people can be. It is truly astonishing, just how much that folk can overcome; particularly the young.  And I have always found much comfort in this too. This is the sort of comfort I would like to share.

My thanks now to all readers and followers, I hope to be back soon, with lots more lovely pics to show you. Until then, Namaste, and peace from Amras.

“Finally, may we indeed, keep in our hearts, that our humble blogs are the spirits that keep the World Wide Web humane. Let us use this gift to flourish as people! Let us cherish one another! And be thankful for one another, because at some point, we touch our respective lives.”  ~ Aina Balagtas https://lyricssentimentsandme.wordpress.com
