Contemplating Daisies

Here we go again, with freshly picked pics from our garden. I hope you enjoy them. The golden fellow seen contemplating daisies is Kato, one of our rescued greyhounds. Ironically, unlike his famous namesake, our Kato isn’t a very brave fellow. 

This final pic is a cross-eye 3D double. If you are comfortable using this technique, then please enjoy the result. If on the other hand you have trouble doing this, then please don’t try – it’s not worth a headache.

Until next time… keep seeking peace.

What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep? That was when you were born.

You are something that the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing. The real you is not a puppet which life pushes around; the real, deep down you is the whole universe.

Alan Watts.

Long Clusters

“In memory of the spring now passing, I drew the long clusters of wisteria that move like waves.” 

(Masaoka Shiki)

I hope you are finding peace within today. When recovering slowly from painful health issues, I find many things quite difficult to do. These include writing. So, please bear with me, and I will publish two sister posts to this one in short order. Meanwhile, here are a few words from a fellow countryman: May your neighbours respect you, troubles neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.

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.
