~ touching gaia ~ ♥ ~

~ gaia cannot be found in noise and clamour
~ gaia is found in silence and meditation

~ trees ~ flowers ~ grass
~ all grow in silence

~ the stars ~ the moon ~ the sun
~ all move in silence

~ we need silence to be able to touch gaia

~ whispers ~ ♥ ~

~ the grandeur of mountains
~ the ebb and flow of oceans
~ the gentle breeze
~ the power of storms
~ all whisper in my heart

~ the strength of trees
~ the beauty of blossoms
~ the fragrance of herbs
~ the taste of fruit
~ the sound of birdsong
~ all whisper in my heart

~ the paths of sun and moon
~ the anger of thunder and lightening
~ the screams of anguish
~ the healing rhythm of gaia
~ all whisper in my heart

~ until . . .
~ my heart is at peace ~ ♥ ~

~ sometimes ~ ♥ ~

~ sometimes . . .
~ when the moon shines through your window
~ or light strikes unexpectedly
~ it pulls you back into memories

~ you may pass by an old garden
~ or a dilapidated shed
~ hidden behind a crumbling wall

~ an ancient shrine guarded by fallen stones
~ yew and briar barring your way

~ you may feel that behind that wall
~ or through the tangle of old twigs
~ something secret is happening
~ quietly mysterious yet magnificient

~ if you happen to creep through
~ you will behold a magical contentment ~
~ namaste ~ ♥ ~

~ searching ~ ♥ ~

~ we can spend our whole lifetime searching for happiness
~ looking for peace ...
~ chasing idle dreams ~ addictions ~ religions ~ even other people
~ hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues us
~ the irony is . . . 
~ the only place we ever need to search . . .
~ is within ~
~ namaste ~ ♥ ~

~ waves on the shore ~ ♥ ~

~ our minds are like waves in the ocean
~ ebbing and flowing
~ some may bring storms and destruction
~ others break gently on the shore . . . .
~ bearing gifts of sea shells and wonders from the deep
~ sometimes they're wild ~ sometimes fun
~ sometimes peaceful and calm
~ most of what happens in our lives starts in the ocean of our minds
~ thoughts rise like waves ~ and then disappear
~ to be replaced by new waves
~ new waves ~ new thoughts ~ eternal refreshment ~
~ namaste ~ ♥ ~

~ hearts united ~ ♥ ~

~ the spirit of love unites every heart ~ blessing the planet with peace ~ we are peacemakers ~ one in the love of gaia ~ with hearts united we establish harmony and peace in our lives and in the world ~

~ perfect shape ~ ♥ ~

~ out of the deep ocean
~ out of the dark forest
~ a sparkling mystery
~ a perfect shape
~ whispers with the light of dawn
~ whose breath floats fragrant on the breeze
~ whose eyes twinkle like starlight
~ the glory of gaia quietly meanders
~ her footsteps like a melody hung in the air
~ namaste ~ ♥ ~

~ enough ~ ♥ ~

~ the earth provides enough
~ to satisfy every man's need
~ but not every man's greed ~ ♥ ~
~ mahatma gandhi ~

~ only when the last tree has died
~ the last river been poisoned
~ and the last fish been caught
~ will we realise that we cannot eat money
                                                         ~ cree indian proverb ~
~ some people are so poor
~ all they have is money ~ ♥ ~

~ namaste ~ ♥ ~

~ bright new year ~ ♥ ~

~ each one of us
~ is a shining star
~ beaming our light
~ one to another
~ the more stars shining
~ the brighter the light
~ this year will be
~ the brightest yet ~
~ namaste ~ ♥ ~
