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"

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese

Don't Blink

What rate ticketh clock? I blinked and a whole year passed or, was I dreaming? Somehow I seemed to have lost a whole year, it appears what I thought happened last year happened the year before! My sister who is twelve years my senior warned me about this ~ "wait until you get to my age then time really does fly"! Of course we'll never be able to confer! Still, living in the moment can feel like forever, because it is, I'm trying to make each beautiful moment count! Sharing with Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
