Embracing Connections

'Community Connections' was adopted as
the title for our monthly village newsletter,
I was the one to come up with the title, 
the others embraced it, and so it was launched. 
That was some ten years ago,
 it is still going strong today. 
Community was my world then but more at a local level, 
today my community has expanded to global proportions, 
thanks to among others the British scientist 
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, 
who was celebrated Friday night in the opening ceremony 
of the 30th Olympic Games in London 
as the inventor of the world wide web!

One of the ceremony highlights, 
the lighting of the olympic flame cauldron was very emotive. 
A metal flower petal was carried by 
each country's representative and assembled in place, 
as the flame ignited all of the petals they moved together 
rising as one united blossom, a spectacular vision! 
This reminded me of the opening and closing 
of the Lotus Blossom 
which is said to represent the awakening of consciousness, 
which does seem fitting here as this occasion also marks  the first Olympic Games to have a female representing each nation! Bravo!

So today I am embracing the word 'connection',
embracing new connections,
embracing old connections,
for through all of these connections ~
We may embrace Paradise!

The following article, found at the DailyOM is one of many that inspires me, it speaks about the 'ripple effect, and changing consciousness.
 ~ The DailyOM

"Like the ripple on a lake spreading out, humanity is awakening at an ever increasing speed"

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure?  I go through  familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing?  I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line?  So what do I do? How do  I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me?  Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios

Rise

Learn from the Lupin, when rain clouds gather and burst take a bow, then rise. Hiya all, just got back from a small break by the sea, it filled my soul right to the brim!  These beautiful Lupins made a statement to me on my return so I thought I'd share it with all you haiku folks! Have a great weekend, should be back with news about the fox cub soon, seems he's too comfy in the womb!  Or waiting til the rain clouds are banished!
