About Me

Layout Created by Trisha Westbay

I base a personal philosophy upon a line in a poem I wrote once, which I believe was a gift from heaven: "An ever-expanding rainbow circle".

I think it means that the heart can expand to encompass new people, new experiences, new challenges, new events - and every one of these is an opportunity to learn to Love even more, and I fully believe that is what we are here for: to learn to Love in many ways, and oftentimes be faced with situations where we're challenged to love beyond what we thought was our capacity.

I was inspired to write something on the spur of a moment a few months ago, posted it .. and provided a link so that I could share it with others. I received positive feedback, and even though it was only one step on the road among many to healing, it gladdened my heart to know that someone else's day was brightened by something I shared. Things like that still gladden my heart - more than ever.

I feel a bit like someone who has been around the world (or the universe) and then some. And doubtless, if I allow it, I will go 'round the world yet again, and again. Because...I have found that the more I know, the more I *allow* myself to know - the more I realize there is to learn. And so I hope to continue to keep the Rainbow Circle expanding with ever new people, experiences - whatever the wind, fate, heaven, the universe - GOD - blows my way.

I feel for the first time as though I am truly becoming the one I need to be, and am supposed to be.

I AM becoming...

"The Jeweled Phoenix"

At last.

Blessed be, and bless all of those seeking to expand their own rainbow circle.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People from many walks of life, and share experiences.

~~ The Best Things in Life Aren't Things ~~

~~ Get out of your way ~~

~~ Speak Your Mind - Even If Your Voice Shakes ~~

~~ Minds are like Parachutes - they only function when open ~~

~~ Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for people who have been there. ~~

~~ If you settle for what they're giving you...you deserve what you get ~~

~~ Artists make lousy slaves! ~~

~~ We must be the change we wish to see in the future ~~

Weathering

My face catches the wind
from the snow line
and flushes with a flush
that will never wholly settle.
Well, that was a metropolitan vanity,
wanting to look young forever, to pass.
I was never a pre-Raphaelite beauty
and only pretty enough to be seen
with a man who wanted to be seen
with a passable woman.

But now that I am in love
with a place that doesn't care
how I look and if I am happy,
happy is how I look and that's all.
My hair will grow gray in any case,
my nails chip and flake,
my waist thicken, and the years
work all their usual changes.

If my face is to be weather beaten as well,
it's little enough lost
for a year among the lakes and vales
where simply to look out my window
at the high pass
makes me indifferent to mirrors
and to what my soul may wear
over its new complexion.

~~~ Fleur Adcock ~~~

NamastÃ© I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light, and of peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me,
We are one ~~
