Burning touches
Soft-spoken words of love
Urgently spoken words of passion.
A man and a woman
One complete love
Since time began
Predestined to be as one.
We've been together before
In other lifetimes
We've fought dragons
And have been torn from each others arms
Yet our love prevailed.
We've walked on this earth many times together
Perhaps for a moment
Perhaps for years
But our heart is one heart
And we were meant to be.
So when our time on earth
Once again comes to a close
Have no worries my dear
For we will find each other again
And again
And again.
For our love is ageless
Eternal
A love for all time ~~ May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days ~

~ The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently
They're not fond of "rules".
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent.
They imagine.
They heal.
They explore.
They create.
They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius
Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do ~
~ Poem By: Steve Jobs ~
~ Thanks Lux, You`re a Blessing ~
~ Well......maybe YOU? ;)
~ However, in fact, I believe that every single individual has a special strenght that lift him/her regarding the rest of us. And I also think that we are able to learn from one another, from everybody around us, at any time ~ This make every human beeing, interesting in one way or another. Talking of this; My belief is that beautiful or great spirits often is hidden behind the most common masks, and perhaps where one don`t expect to find these shining diamonds. Maybe the clue is just to recognize their grace and brilliance.
~ Anyway, I think that we all are exactly where we are meant to be. And that`s why we should very deeply respect the journey of each individual soul ~
~ Related to known or historical individuals, I guess it could be interesting to meet personalities as: Hans Jæger, Knut Hamsun, Salvador Dali, John Lennon, Karen Blixen, Madame Blavatsky, Frans Assisi, Sigrid Undseth, Rudolf Steiner, Hans-Christian Andersen, Kahlil Gibran, Jean D`Arch, Paulo Coelho, . Staff, Søren Kirkegaard, Marcello Haugen, Ingmar Bergman, Vincent Van Gogh, Jesus, Mother Theresa, Jim Steinman and so on.....~ To be honestly, I also really would like to meet again, some of the people I`ve already met...~
~ And, well, one person I really would like to meet someday, is a human beeing (or, is he really..? ;), I learn to know as one of the greatest talents in spiritual leadership, I have ever experienced in my whole life. Though, his human arrogance he cannot hide, but this soul is pure and brilliant, and his spiritual knowledge is widely and excellent. You know who you are, and you really deserve these words. Always bring with you, in everything you do; Your Heart ~ You are Magic. Congratulations ~

Music.....I ADORE music. I like listening to melodic-sounded music. My music-collection is very widely builded, I like the variety of different styles and sounds.
If a should mention one of my favourites, it had to be....Jim Steinman. I think he is a brilliant genius. His music combinated to the powerful voice of Meat Loaf is just....magic!
Others are: Secret Garden, Gregorians, Enya, Josh Groban, Elvis Presley, Wig Wam, Celine Dion, Patti Russo, Sara Brightman, Åge Sten Nilsen, Anastacia, Jan Werner Danielsen, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Vangelis, Eagels, Mikael Wiehe, Ronan Keating, Bjørn Afzelius, John Lennon, Darts, Bjørn Eidsvåg, Westlife, Bruce Springsteen, Journey, Tommy Nilsson, Gary Kane, Art Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, U2, Bonnie Tyler, Air Supply, Marion Raven, Freddie Mercury, Guns`n Roses ......and so on ~
From Norway I like to mention Wig Wam. "Bygone Zone" is written as a charity-song, and it is a very beautiful ballade. Ã…ge Sten Nilsen, better known as Glam, has one of Norways best vocals ever. I like to mention his brillliant perfomance in the musical Chess. And, while talking about Wig Wam, I never forget them singing "In My Dreams" at Eurovision Song Contest.
I also love the grand voice of Jan Werner. This man was a maginicifant artist, and his voice was....unike. I really like listening to his album "Stronger". You Live In My Heart, Jan Werner! Rest In Heavenly Peace.
Love from Jorunn

From the Point of Light Within the Mind of God,
Let Light Stream Forth into the Minds of All,
Let Light Descend On Earth.
From the Point of Love Within the Heart of God,
Let Love Stream Forth into the Hearts of All,
May Christ Return to Earth.
From the Center Where the Will of God is Known,
Let Purpose Guide Our Little Wills,
The Purpose Which the Masters Know and Serve.
And From the Center Which We Call The Human Race,
Let the Plan of Love and Light Work Out,
And May it Seal the Door Where Evil Dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power Restore the Plan on Earth ~
~ Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I ~
~ I close my eyes and there in the shadows
I see your light
You come to me out of my dreams
Across the night
You take my hand though you may be so many stars away
I know that our spirits and souls are one
We’ve circled the moon and we’ve touched the sun
So here we’ll stay
For always, forever
Beyond here and on to eternity
For always, forever
For us there’s no time and no space
No barrier love won’t erase
Wherever you go
Is to know
In my heart you will be
With me
From this day on I’m certain I’ll never be alone
I know what my heart must have always known
That love has a power that’s all its own
And for always, forever
Then we can fly
And for always and always
We will go on beyond goodbye
For always, forever
Beyond here and on to eternity
For always, and ever
You’ll be a part of me
And for always, forever
A thousand tomorrows may cross the sky
And for always and always
We will go on beyond goodbye ~
~ Cavatina ~
You Were Beautiful,
Beautiful to my eyes.
From the moment I saw you,
The sun filled the sky.
You were so beautiful,
Beautiful just to hold.
In my dreams you were spring time
Winter was cold.
How could I tell you
What I so clearly could see
Though I longed for you I never trusted me completely
So I never could be free.
Oh, but it was beautiful
Knowing now that you cared
I will always remember
Moments that we shared
Now it's all over
Still the feelings linger on
For my dream keeps returning
Now that you`re gone.
For it was beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful to be loved ~
~ You Light My Heart ~
~ Jeg ba Gud om styrke,
men Han gjorde meg svak,
slik at jeg lærte beskjedenhet og ydmykhet
Jeg ba om hans hjelp
for å kunne
utføre store dåder,
men Han gjorde meg liten,
sånn at jeg kunne gjøre gode gjerninger
Jeg ba om rikdom
for å være lykkelig,
Han gjorde meg fattig,
slik at jeg kunne bli ren
Jeg ba om alle ting
slik at jeg
kunne nyte livet
Han gav meg livet
så jeg kunne nyte det
Jeg mottok intet av det
jeg ba om -
Men derimot alt som var
godt for meg
Mot mitt eget ønske
ble mine bønner hørt
Jeg er en velsignet
blant menneskene ~
~ Ukjent soldat i den Amerikanske Borgerkrig 1861-1865 ~
~ Jeg tror / I Believe:
- At livet er klokere enn oss....
- At vi ikke kan velge våre følelser...
- At vi ofte glemmer å ta høyde for det usagte....
- At det meste vet vi ikke.....
- At tvilen kan være en god venn....
- At menneskets tanker inneholder mange misforståelser....
- At vi alltid har noe å lære....
- At mennesket er for stort til å bære seg selv....
- At Livets Skole er den viktigste av alle skoler.....
- At lover og regler er skapt av mennesker, og at mennesker kan ta feil.....
- At menneskeskapte idealer gjerne er skrift i sand....
- At det vi mennesker anser som mangler hos hverandre, egentlig kan være ting vi ikke forstår, eller evner å se i det rette lys, eller i den klare sammenheng....
- At når man tror man ser hele bildet av noe, er det egentlig ofte bare fragmenter av virkelighetsbildet vi oppfatter.....
- At det vi mennesker kaller overnaturlig, egentlig like gjerne kunne defineres som skjult viten.....
- At Jesus var et menneske med sterke paranormale evner og et ufattelig stort hjerte....
- At ord kan viskes bort med andre ord.....

Sitater fra Rosemarie Köhn:
~ Det er viktig at Kirken kommer folk i møte, og ikke stenger dem ute ~
~ Det har undret meg mange ganger; Hvor mange mennesker er det som går rundt og føler seg uverdige? Det er skremmende og merkelig i vår moderne tid, at så mange har et negativt Gudsbilde. Som om man må oppfylle alle mulige krav for å kalle seg kristne ~

Noen av stjernene døde for lenge siden, men fortsatt stråler de på aftenhimmelen, for du skjønner det, Liten, at kjærligheten er som stjerneglansen, den slukner aldri ~
~ Livsveven ~
~ Ikke før veven har stilnet
og skyttelen sluttet å gå
Vil Gud trekke teppet til side
og la oss riktig forstå
At også de mørke tråder
som de lyse bånd
Var helt nødvendig for mønstret
i Mesterens mektige hånd ~
~ Men hva er skjønnhet?Det er med skjønnhet som med godhet, vil jeg tro.Det er i mennesket selvAt verdiene eksisterer, vokser og utfolder seg.Det er i hjernen, sier Oscar Wilde, at valmuen er rød,At eplet dufter, og at lerken synger.- Ser en bort fra det som hender i sinnet,Hva blir da tilbake?Og nettopp slik kunne skjønnheten manifistere segOgså i fangeleirenEn sjelden gang, og i små, brå glimt.Stillheten som kunne senke seg over myrlandetI en gitt stund,Som om all lyd var blitt enig om to minutters stillhetFor de døde.En klar og høstlig stjernekveld,Når vinden var gunstigSå vi ikke merket nedfallet fra krematorieskorstenene.En sommerfugl som flagret mellom piggtrådene,Ugripelig som fargebrytningenGjennom et spektrum.Alt dette var stunder av skjønnhetSom løftet oss oppAv gjørmen, sviket og robotlivet.Som røpet at livet hadde mening,Men at veien fram
Gikk gjennom vårt eget sinn ~
~ Herman Sachnowitzfraâ€Det angÃ¥r ogsÃ¥ deg†~
~ Denne teksten er fra boken "Det angår også deg". Jeg syns den er flott fordi den formidler et grunnleggende budskap. Foresten er hele boken fantastisk, fordi den forteller en historie om noe som aldri bør glemmes av oss mennesker. Sachnowitz`s opplevelser bærer med seg vesentlige og dyrekjøpte erfaringer, fra den virkelighet han selv ble tvunget til å stå ansikt til ansikt med. Måtte nåtiden aldri glemme, men gjemme erkjennelsen og innsikten, med hensyn til hva mennesker kan gjøre mot hverandre, sånn at fortidens sår, om ikke annet, kan ha lært oss noe om hva som aldri burde skje, om hva intet menneske på denne jord skulle oppleve av lidelse og grusomhet. Det angår også deg. Ja, Sachnowitz, det angår også meg ~
~ Amor Fati ~
Ikke som en Cæsar gjorde,Skal du med et sverd bevæbneDeg mot verden, men med ordet:Amor Fati – elsk din skjebne.
Denne formel skal du fatteSom din sterkeste befrier:Du har valgt din sti i krattet.Ikke skjel mot andre stier!
Også fallet, også sviketHjelper deg som dine venner.Dine nederlag er rikeGaver, lagt i dine hender.
Engang skal du, tilfredsstilletAv å bli din skjebne verdig,Vite: Dette har jeg villet.Alt som skjer meg, skjer rettferdig.
Si da, når din levegledesGrønne skog er gjennomvandret:Intet vil jeg annerledes.Intet ønsker jeg forandret ~
~ Andre` Bjerke ~
~ UNGDOM ~
~ Ungdom er ikke en periode i livet,
det er en Ã…NDELIG TILSTAND.
Det har ikke noe med Rosenrøde kinn,
Røde lepper eller Spenstige ben å gjøre.
Det dreier seg om Vilje, Fantasi og
Følelser fulle av Livskraft;
Om at livets dypeste Kilder
hele tiden beholder sin Friskhet.
Ungdom betyr at du lar Motet
overvinne all engstelse og forsagthet,
At du foretrekker Eventyr og Spenning
fremfor et behagelig liv.
Slike egenskaper forekommer vel så gjerne
hos en mann på seksti, som hos en gutt på tyve.
DET ER IKKE ÅRENE SOM GJØR ET MENNESKE GAMMELT.
VI BLIR GAMLE FORDI VI SVIKTER VÃ…RE IDEALER.
Huden blir kanskje rynket med årene,
men blir du slipp på Begeistringen,
får du rynker i Sjelen.
Bekymring, frykt og manglende selvtillit
Nedbøyer Hjerter og gjør Ånden til støv.
Enten du er seksti eller seksten,
vil du alltid i ditt Hjerte
kjenne en dragning
Mot Undringen
Denne usvikelige, barnslige Apetitten
på det som måtte
Vente rundt neste hjørne
Og Gleden over alt som har med livet å gjøre.
Innerst i ditt og mitt Hjerte
er det en radio.
SÃ¥ lenge som den mottar
Budskap om Skjønnhet,
HÃ¥p og Glede,
Mot og Kraft fra andre mennesker
Og fra Gud
-SÃ¥ lenge holder du deg ung.
NÃ¥r antennene er nede
Og din sjel dekkes
av kynismens snø og pessimismens is;
Da er du blitt gammel
selv om du bare måtte være tyve år.
Men så lenge antennene dine er oppe
Og klar til å motta Optimismens bølger,
Da kan du dø ung
-Selv etter at du har blitt åtti år ~
~ GÃ…TE VED GÃ…TE ~
Vi skulle begynt på nytt
Skulle visst det som vi siden har fått vite
Skulle visst hva som var stort..
Og hva som var latterlig lite
Forsiktig skulle vi trådt
Ikkje så hastig, ikkje så brått
Ikkje så fri, ikkje så forknytt
Skulle vi begynt på nytt.
Vi skulle begynt på nytt
Skulle lært hverandres språk og land og kode..
Skulle skjønt at kropp og sinn
Oftest lever adskilt ifra hodet
Litt rausar skulle vi vært
Men timen er over før vi får lært
Når vi sku rope og når vi sku lytt..
Vi skulle begynt på nytt.
Vi skulle begynt på nytt
Skulle øvd oss litt før livet blei alvorlig
Skulle visst hva som gjør ondt
Og hva som gjør nesten usårlig
Hvor vi skal hente ei tru
Hva som er blindvei og hva som er bru..
Hva vi skal drep og hva vi skal beskytt..
...vi skulle begynt på nytt.
Vært hos hverandre ganske stille
Være den du innerst inne ville..
Ikkje snakke, ikkje flire, ikkje gråte
Være bare gåte ved gåte ~
~ Kari Bremnes ~
~ Hvis jeg fikk leve livet om igjen ~
~ Jeg ville våge å gjøre flere feiltagelser.
Jeg ville slappe mere av og å være mere smidig.
Jeg ville være mer enfoldig.
Jeg ville ta færre ting alvorlig.
Jeg ville ta flere sjanser.
Jeg ville ha flere opplevelser.
Jeg ville bestige flere fjell
og svømme over flere elver.
Jeg ville spise mere is og færre bønner.
Jeg ville kanskje ha flere vansker,
men færre innbilte.
Ser du, jeg er en av dem
som lever følsomt og sunt.
Time etter time, dag etter dag.
Åh, jeg har hatt mine øyeblikk,
og hvis jeg skulle leve om igjen,
ville jeg ha flere av dem.
Faktisk ville jeg prøve
Ã¥ ikke ha noe annet.
Bare øyeblikk.
Det ene etter det andre,
i stedet for å leve så mange år
med tanke på morgendagen.
Jeg har vært en av dem
som ikke reiser noe sted uten
et termometer, en varmeflaske,
en regnfrakk, en fallskjerm.
Hvis jeg skulle leve om igjen,
ville jeg reise med mindre bagasje.
Hvis jeg skulle leve mitt liv om igjen,
ville jeg begynne å gå barføtt tidligere om våren.
Jeg ville danse mer.
Jeg ville unne meg selv
flere runder på karusellen.
Jeg ville plukke flere tusenfryd ~
~ Nadine Starr (85) ~
~ Millioner av sjøstjerner ble en gang skylt i land under en storm. Da stormen var over, begynte en mann å kaste dem på sjøen igjen, èn etter èn. En annen mann kom bort til ham og spurte: ~ Hvorfor gjør du dette? Du kan ikke redde alle. Det betyr jo ingenting at du redder noen få av dem....? ~Jo, svarte mannen. ~For DENNE sjøstjernen betyr det ALT ~
~ Legenden om Drømmefangeren ~
~ Siden urminnes tider har man fortalt om gamle Farmor Edderkopp som skapte universet - om hvor sørgmodig hun var over alle marerittene som hennes menneskebarn hadde.
Hun gikk til piletreet og ba om å få grener, siden gikk hun til ørnen og ba om å få dens fjær. Deretter bøyde hun grenene til en sirkel som inneholdt alle menneskene på jorden, og spant sitt nett av visdom rundt pilegrenene for å fange opp alles mareritt. Fader Sols morgenstråler brant siden bort nattens mareritt.
Dersom det fantes noen mareritt igjen, ble de forvandlet til morgendugg som sakte dryppet ned over fjærene, og tilbake til jorden ~
~ Nederlag, mitt nederlag, mitt skinnende sverd og skjold.
I dine øyne har jeg lest at å bli kronet er å bli slavelenket.
Og å bli forstått er å bli jevnet ut.
Og å bli høstet er bare å ha fyllt sine mål til randen,
og deretter falle som en moden frukt og bli fortært.
Nederlag, mitt nederlag, min tapre følgesvenn,
Du skal høre mine sanger og mine skrik og mine stillheter.
Og ingen annen enn du skal snakke til meg om vingers slag,
og om å utfordre havet,
og om fjell som brenner i natten.
Og du alene skal bestige min steile klippesjel.
Nederlag, mitt nederlag, mitt udødelige mot.
Du og jeg skal le sammen med stormen,
og sammen skal vi grave graver for alt som dør i oss.
Og vi skal stå i solen fulle av vilje.
Og vi skal være farlige ~
~ Kahlil Gibran ~
Om de beste herskerne
vet folket bare at de eksisterer,
de nest beste blir elsket og lovprist,
de neste blir fryktet,
de etter dem igjen blir hånet.
Herskere som ikke har folkets tillit,
vil mange miste troen på.
Og da tyr de til besvergelser!
Men når de beste herskerne
har nådd sitt mål
og fullført sin oppgave,
vil hele folket si:
"Vi utrettet dette selv."
~ Lao-Tse, 6. århundre f. Kr. ~
â€Jomfru Maria, med Jesusbarnet i sine armer,bestemte seg for Ã¥ stige ned pÃ¥ jorden og besøke et kloster.
Alle munkene stilte seg i en lang kø, og hver og en trådteStolt fram for Jomfruen for å gi henne sin hyllest.En deklamerte vakre dikt, en annen viste henneIlluminasjoner til Bibelen, en tredje fremsa navnenePå alle helgenene.Og slik gikk det slag i slag,Munk etter munk hyllet Jomfru Maria og Jesusbarnet.
Bakerst i køen stod den mest unnselige munken i klosteret,En som aldri hadde tilegnet seg tidens lærde tekster.Foreldrene hans var enkle mennesker som hadde arbeidetI et omreisende sirkus, og alt de hadde lært hamVar å sjonglere med noen baller i luften.
Da det ble hans tur, ville de andre munkene avslutte hyllesten,For den gamle sjongløren hadde intet viktig å si,Og han kunne gjøre bildet av klosteret mindre tiltalende.Men i dypet av sitt hjerte følte også han en umåtelig trangTil å gi noe til Jesus og Jomfruen.Skamfull, og mens han følte sine brødres misbilligendeBlikk på seg, tok han noen appelsiner opp av lommenOg begynte å kaste dem opp i luften,Det var det eneste han kunne gjøre.
Det var i denne stund at Jesusbarnet smilteOg begynte å klappe i hendeneDer han lå i Jomfru Marias fang.Og det var mot ham Jomfruen strakte armene ut,Og han fikk holde Jesusbarnet ~

Jeg vil være din venn
for alltid, uten brudd
eller svikt.
NÃ¥r alle hauger er blitt sletter,
og alle elver har tørket ut.

Når det snør og regner
om sommeren.
NÃ¥r himmel og jord blir ett.
Før dette skjer,
vil jeg ikke skilles fra deg ~

~ Harald Sverdrup ~
~ Skjønnheten er ikke et behov, men en henrykkelse.
Den er ikke en tørst munn, eller en tom og utstrakt hånd,
Men heller et brennende hjerte og en henrykt sjel.
Den er ikke et bilde du kan se,eller en sang du kan høre,
Men heller et bilde du kan se skjønt øynene er lukket og en sang du kan høre skjønt du stopper ørene til.
Den er ikke sevjen innenfor barken eller en vinge festet til en klo,
Men heller en have som alltid blomstrer og en engelskare som alltid flyr.
Skjønnheten er livet når livet avdekker sitt hellige ansikt.
Men du er livet, og du er den som avdekker.
Skjønnheten er evigheten som stirrer på seg selv i et speil.
Men du er evigheten og du er speilet ~
~ Kahlil Gibran ~ Tusen takk, Ellen ~
~ Den dag kjem aldri at eg deg gløymer,
for om eg søver, eg om deg drøymer.
Om natt og dag er du like nær,
og best eg ser deg når mørkt det er.
Du leikar kringom meg der eg vankar,
eg høyrer deg når mitt hjarta bankar.
Du støtt meg følgjer på ferdi mi,
som skuggen gjeng etter soli si.
NÃ¥r nokon kjem og i klinka rykkjer,
d'er du som kjem inn til meg, eg tykkjer;
eg sprett frå stolen og vil meg te,
men snart eg sig atter ende ned.
NÃ¥r vinden lint uti lauvet ruslar,
eg trur d'er du som gjeng der og tuslar;
når somt der borte eg ser seg snu,
eg kvekk og trur det må vera du.
I kvar som gjeng og som rid og køyrer,
d'er deg eg ser, deg i alt eg høyrer:
i song og fløyte- og felelåt,
men endå best i min eigen gråt ~

~I og med at jeg har levd lenge, har jeg opplevd mange ganger,
ut fra bedre informasjon, eller etter grundigere overveielse, å måtte skifte mening, endog i viktige spørsmål,
hvor jeg engang var sikker i min sak, men siden kom til andre resultater.
Derfor forholder det seg slik at jo eldre jeg blir,
desto større blir min tilbøyelighet til å tvile på mine egne standpunkter,
og vise større respekt for andres ~

~ You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other`s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lut are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other`s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together; For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow ~ ~ Kahlil Gibran ~~ How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death ~~ This morning when I wakened And saw the sun above, I softly said, "Good morning, Lord, Bless everyone I love." And right away I thought of you And said a loving prayer, That He would bless you specially, And keep you free from care. I thought of all the happiness A day could hold in store, I wished it all for you because No one deserves it more ~~ When the sun kisses the earth goodnight and the stars begin to shine real bright When the light of the moon starts to glow the most romantic time you'll ever know Under the shadows of a dimming light with warm embrace I hold you tight Your sweet lips seem so inviting makes the night much more exciting Wanna hold you close and not let go but it's much later than you know So I'll settle with a warm goodnight soon the morning will be shining bright ~ Goodnight My Love ~~ Remember Who You Were Born To Be ~~ May Blessings Come Your Way ~~ Love Always, Jorunn ~Movies.....YEAH, I love watching movies! I like movies that moves me, in some kind of way, I also like stories told about humans meeting challenges, and use their strenghts, and maybe cross their own limit of power to deal with life...My Top Of The List is "Titanic". "Lord Of The Rings" is also one of my favourites.....I also love "Hook" and more romantic movies as "Time Of Innosence" and "The Bridges Of Madison County"..... I love "Braveheart", "A Few Good Men", "Forrest Gump" and "Chariots On Fire". Other favorites are: "Notting Hill", "Avalon", "Never Ending Story" and "Return To Howards End". I also love "The Full Monty". :)~ Dear Beautiful Friend ~~ I told someone just the other day That I had friends all over the place! They wondered how I could say I knew Someone I hadn't met face to face!We write little notes and send out sites. and a few write just to say "Hey". Then I have a few special ones that I talk to every single day!At times when I can't sleep at night, I will often go on-line. There I will find a friend or two that will help me pass the time!!!I think sometimes my on-line friends Know me more than my neighbors next door! And they don't care if my house is clean, Or what time I came in the night before.So no matter how far apart you are, if you're sincere in the love that you give, on-line friends can be as true and as real As your friends in the place where you live.Life is short,Break the rules,Forgive quickly,Kiss slowly,Love truly,Laugh uncontrollably,.....And never regret anything that made you smile ~~ Wish For You a Beautiful Evening ~~ Love Always, Jorunn ~~ You Light My Heart ~~~ More to come ~~~ Sonnet 43 ~ How do I love thee?

Are you in that little Paradise, watering the flowers who look upon you As infants look upon the breast of their mothers?Or are you in your chamber where the shrine of Virtue has been placed in your honor, and upon Which you offer my heart and soul as sacrifice?Or amongst the books, seeking human knowledge, While you are replete with heavenly wisdom?Oh companion of my soul, where are you? Are you Praying in the temple? Or calling Nature in the Field, haven of your dreams?Are you in the huts of the poor, consoling the Broken-hearted with the sweetness of your soul, and Filling their hands with your bounty?You are God's spirit everywhere; You are stronger than the ages.Do you have memory of the day we met, when the halo of You spirit surrounded us, and the Angels of Love Floated about, singing the praise of the soul's deed?Do you recollect our sitting in the shade of the Branches, sheltering ourselves from Humanity, as the ribs Protect the divine secret of the heart from injury?Remember you the trails and forest we walked, with hands Joined, and our heads leaning against each other, as if We were hiding ourselves within ourselves?Recall you the hour I bade you farewell, And the Maritime kiss you placed on my lips? That kiss taught me that joining of lips in Love Reveals heavenly secrets which the tongue cannot utter!That kiss was introduction to a great sigh, Like the Almighty's breath that turned earth into man.That sigh led my way into the spiritual world, Announcing the glory of my soul; and there It shall perpetuate until again we meet.I remember when you kissed me and kissed me, With tears coursing your cheeks, and you said, "Earthly bodies must often separate for earthly purpose, And must live apart impelled by worldly intent."But the spirit remains joined safely in the hands of Love, until death arrives and takes joined souls to God."Go, my beloved; Love has chosen you her delegate; Over her, for she is Beauty who offers to her follower The cup of the sweetness of life. As for my own empty arms, your love shall remain my Comforting groom; you memory, my Eternal wedding."Where are you now, my other self? Are you awake in The silence of the night? Let the clean breeze convey To you my heart's every beat and affection.Are you fondling my face in your memory? That image Is no longer my own, for Sorrow has dropped his Shadow on my happy countenance of the past.Sobs have withered my eyes which reflected your beauty And dried my lips which you sweetened with kisses.Where are you, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need? Do you know the greatness of my patience?Is there any spirit in the air capable of conveying To you the breath of this dying youth? Is there any Secret communication between angels that will carry to You my complaint?Where are you, my beautiful star? The obscurity of life Has cast me upon its bosom; sorrow has conquered me.Sail your smile into the air; it will reach and enliven me! Breathe your fragrance into the air; it will sustain me!Where are you, me beloved? Oh, how great is Love! And how little am I ~

Add to My Profile | More Videos~ This morning when I wakened
And saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,
Bless everyone I love."
And right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially,
And keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more ~~ Thank You, Beautiful ~Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul?
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold~ Prayer ~~ ONLY in my deep heart I love you, sweetest heart.
Many another vesture hath the soul, I pray
Call me not forth from this. If from the light I part
Only with clay I cling unto the clay.
And ah! my bright companion, you and I must go
5
Our ways, unfolding lonely glories, not out own,
Nor from each other gathered, but an inward glow
Breathed by the Lone One on the seeker lone.
If for the heart’s own sake we break the heart, we may
When the last ruby drop dissolves in diamond light
10
Meet in a deeper vesture in another day.
Until that dawn, dear heart, good-night, good-night ~

Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scaryHowl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friendSo try and stem the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there
So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right thereHowl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you

Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm thereSo whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there ~~ When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit a while with me.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be ~~ Love is patient, love is kind.Love is not envious, jealous or boastful.It is not arrogant or rude.Love does not insist on it's own ways.It is not irritable or resentful.It does not rejoice at wrong and wrongdoing.But rejoices in right and truth.Love bears all things,believes all things,hopes all things,endures all things.Love never ends.So faith, hope and love abide these three.But the greatest of these ...is Love ~~ A True Friendby LadyBrandi ~~ We met upon
the internet,
My heart you did
not have yet.I sit and wait each day,
for the song my
heart will soon play.Of laughter, love and tears,
You have washed away
all my fears.To be my friend

I now know why
I don't get
much sleep.I have waited
through all these
years,
To find something
to hold so dear.And now I know
I'll never be
Blue,
For I have found
a true friend
in you ~~ TIMELESS ~~ Kahlil Gibran ~ The Prophet ~You would measure timethe measureless and the immeasurable.You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness,And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.And that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless, encompassed within the center of his being, and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?And is not time even as love is, undivided and paceless?But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons,Let each season encircle all the other seasons,And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing ~~ Behold, I Am With You And Will Keep You Wherever You Go ~

Sento che ci salverà (I feel will save us ) ~~ Carole Bayer Sager ~~ The Legend Of The Rainbow ~Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel; all claimed that they were the best, the most important, the most useful, the favorite.GREEN said; "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees, leaves...without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."BLUE interrupted; "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would be nothing."YELLOW chuckled; "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet; "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious...for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes and pawpaws. I don`t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you!"RED could stand it no longer. He shouted out; "I am the ruler of all of you. - I am blood - Life`s Blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."PURPLE rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp; "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me - they listen and obey."Finally, INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than the others, but with just as much determination; "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace..."-And so the colors went on boasting each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder.-Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening - thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak; "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don`t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me!"Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.The rain continued; "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a Sign of Hope for Tomorrow. And so, whenever a Good Rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us Remember to Appreciate One Another..."~ Based on a Native American Legend ~"Anthem of Humanity":It was but yesterday we met in a dream
You have sung to me in my aloneness
And I of your longings
Have built a tower in the skyBut now our sleep has fled
And our dream is over
And it is no longer dawnThe noontide is upon us
And our half waking has turned
To fuller day
And we must partIf in the twilight of memory
We should meet once more
We shall speak again together
And you shall sing to me
A deeper songAnd if our hands should meet
in another dream
We shall build
Another tower in the sky...~ Good morning sunshine
how are you today
You're the sunshine of my life
who brightens up the wayClouds of doom and dread
all seem to disappear
Moments are the happiest
when I have you nearMay your day be as joyful
as you have made me
Hope every minute of your life
be the happiest they can be ~~ Beautiful love I feel the endless awakenings, angels smile
While my heart knows the blossoms in roses near
Sweet soundings footsteps carried me to you in dreams
Left upon my lips passion rose, I wait
Sweet lasting tears
Beautiful wintery snowflakes tickle my lips again
While all sudden kissed arms embraced in love, with him
Caressed somber kissed angels windows bright
Azure lights waiting in Hellenistic sights
My waiting arms
I walk in in legendary fairy realm fairy realm to your waiting arms
To hold this Christmas mystical night
What is the magic for the presence I feel near
Beauty the angels I carry inside ~

I can only be me.I will remain open to change

I will speak from my heartYou are the one with whom
I share my innermost secrets,
my fears,
my hopes and dreams.
My everything’s and nothings.The one I choose to share
the remainder of my life with ...
Grow old with ...Your hand to be the last that I hold
and your face the last I gaze upon
and even then your love
will eternally remain withinAccept me as I am
Take my hand
My heart and I give to you
my unconditional love
From This Moment On ~
When the sun kisses the earth goodnight
and the stars begin to shine real bright
When the light of the moon starts to glow
the most romantic time you'll ever knowUnder the shadows of a dimming light
with warm embrace I hold you tight
Your sweet lips seem so inviting
makes the night much more excitingWanna hold you close and not let go
but it's much later than you know
So I'll settle with a warm goodnight
soon the morning will be shining bright~ Goodnight My Love ~~I Believe ~I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believeI believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every wordEverytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believeEverytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe ~~ This morning when I wakened
And saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,
Bless everyone I love."
And right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially,
And keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more ~~ Thank You, Beautiful ~~The songs of the waves and the hymns of the streams
Are scattered, and the voices of the throngs reduced to silence;
And I can hear naught but the music of Eternity
In exact harmony with the spirit's desires.
I am cloaked in full whiteness;
I am in comfort; I am in peace ~~Kahlil Gibran ~~ Well....Television? More To Come....;) ~
My all-time favourite book is "The Prophet" written by Kahlil Gibran. Other authors I like to read, are Paulo Coelho, Søren Kirkegaard, Knut Hamsun, Isabel Allende, Oscar Wilde, Sigrid Undseth, C.S Lewis, Jonathan Swift, William Blake, Jens Bjørneboe, Herman Sachnowitz, Rudolf Steiner, H.C. Andersen, Karin Fossum, Henrik ibsen, Tolkien, Agatha Christie, Marina Tsvetajeva, Madame Blavatsky, Helen Keller, Ingvar Ambjørnsen, Ulf Lundell, Boris Pasternak, Rauni - Leena Luukanen, Amy Lowell, Lao Tse, Marcello Haugen, William Shakespeare, Charles Webster Leadbeater, Mark Twain, Harald Sverdrup, Andrè Bjerke, Josè Saramago, Stephen C. Paul, Karen Blixen, Marcia Grad, Colleen Mc Cullough, Karsten Isachsen, Tolkien and.....more to come~ The following words are taken from Gibrans beautiful masterpiece "The Prophet":~ When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you, yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions
may wound you.
And when he speaks to you, believe in him.
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.For even as love crowns you
so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth
so he is for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height
and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots
and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become sacred bread for God`s sacred feast.All this things shall love do
unto you may know the secrets of your heart,
and in that knowledge become
a fragment of Life`s heart.............But -
if in your fear you would seek
only love`s peace and love`s pleasure,
Then it is better for you
that you cover your nakedness
and pass out of love`s threshing-floor.
Into the seasonless world
where you shall laugh,
but not all of your laughter,
and weep,
but not all of your tears.Love gives naught but itself
and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.When you love you should not say
"God is in my heart", but rather
"I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love,
for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires,
let this be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook
that sings it`s melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love`s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer
for the beloved in your heart,
and a song of praise upon your lips ~~ Kahlil Gibran ~~To Where You Are~~ Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clearDeep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
Your still an inspiration
Can it beThat you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up aboveFly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you areAre you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seenAs my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me
EverydayCause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up aboveAnd I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leaveFly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you areI know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are ~~ Dear Friend ~~ I believe for every drop of rain that falls A flower grows I believe that somewhere in the darkest night A candle glows I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come To show the way I believe, I believe I believe above a storm the smallest prayer Can still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere Hears every word Everytime I hear a new born baby cry, Or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why, I believe Everytime I hear a new born baby cry, Or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why, I believe ~

~ It Doesn`t Matter Who Was Right, There`s No Justice In a Dream ~~ On Friendship ~ Kahlil Gibran ~~ Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed ~More to come...
~ When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone ~~ This morning when I wakened

f" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"~ Drum Song ~~ The sound of a drum that does beat
For the heart of a friend’s spirit
That walks with you upon your path
Like two clouds that float across the sky
Like two embers of a fire that turn to smoke
A prayer that touches the Creator’s nostrils
That forever the bond of friendship will remain
And that this shelter will hold back the rain
The flutes sing and the rattles shake here
As the sound of the drum steadily does beat
For the heart of a friend’s spirit
Is a treasure that I have found ~~ Pablo WayaAdisi Conley ~~The Secret Rose~~ Far-off, most secret, and inviolate Rose,
Enfold me in my hour of hours; where those
Who sought thee in the Holy Sepulchre,
Or in the wine-vat, dwell beyond the stir
And tumult of defeated dreams; and deep
Among pale eyelids, heavy with the sleep
Men have named beauty. Thy great leaves enfold
The ancient beards, the helms of ruby and gold
Of the crowned Magi; and the king whose eyes
Saw the Pierced Hands and Rood of elder rise
In Druid vapour and make the torches dim;
Till vain frenzy woke and he died; and him
Who met Fand walking among flaming dew
By a grey shore where the wind never blew,
And lost the world and Emer for a kiss;
And him who drove the gods out of their liss,
And till a hundred morns had flowered red
Feasted, and wept the barrows of his dead;
And the proud dreaming king who flung the crown
And sorrow away, and calling bard and clown
Dwelt among wine-stained wanderers in deep woods;
And him who sold tillage, and house, and goods,
And sought through lands and islands numberless years,
Until he found, with laughter and with tears,
A woman of so shining loveliness
That men threshed corn at midnight by a tress,
A little stolen tress. I, too, await
The hour of thy great wind of love and hate.
When shall the stars be blown about the sky,
Like the sparks blown out of a smithy, and die?
Surely thine hour has come, thy great wind blows,

Back Into Her Warm Embrace ~~ The Life of Love XVI ~ By Kahlil Gibran ~~ Spring ~~ Come, my beloved; let us walk amidst the knolls,
For the snow is water, and Life is alive from its
Slumber and is roaming the hills and valleys.
Let us follow the footprints of Spring into the
Distant fields, and mount the hilltops to draw
Inspiration high above the cool green plains.Dawn of Spring has unfolded her winter-kept garment
And placed it on the peach and citrus trees; and
They appear as brides in the ceremonial custom of
the Night of Kedre.The sprigs of grapevine embrace each other like
Sweethearts, and the brooks burst out in dance
Between the rocks, repeating the song of joy;
And the flowers bud suddenly from the heart of
Nature, like foam from the rich heart of the sea.Come, my beloved; let us drink the last of Winter's
Tears from the cupped lilies, and soothe our spirits
With the shower of notes from the birds, and wander
In exhilaration through the intoxicating breeze.Let us sit by that rock, where violets hide; let us
Pursue their exchange of the sweetness of kisses.~ Summer ~~ Let us go into the fields, my beloved, for the
Time of harvest approaches, and the sun's eyes
Are ripening the grain.
Let us tend the fruit of the earth, as the
Spirit nourishes the grains of Joy from the
Seeds of Love, sowed deep in our hearts.
Let us fill our bins with the products of
Nature, as life fills so abundantly the
Domain of our hearts with her endless bounty.
Let us make the flowers our bed, and the
Sky our blanket, and rest our heads together
Upon pillows of soft hay.
Let us relax after the day's toil, and listen
To the provoking murmur of the brook.~ Autumn ~~ Let us go and gather grapes in the vineyard
For the winepress, and keep the wine in old
Vases, as the spirit keeps Knowledge of the
Ages in eternal vessels.Let us return to our dwelling, for the wind has
Caused the yellow leaves to fall and shroud the
Withering flowers that whisper elegy to Summer.
Come home, my eternal sweetheart, for the birds
Have made pilgrimage to warmth and lest the chilled
Prairies suffering pangs of solitude. The jasmine
And myrtle have no more tears.Let us retreat, for the tired brook has
Ceased its song; and the bubblesome springs
Are drained of their copious weeping; and
Their cautious old hills have stored away
Their colorful garments.Come, my beloved; Nature is justly weary
And is bidding her enthusiasm farewell
With quiet and contented melody.~ Winter ~~ Come close to me, oh companion of my full life;
Come close to me and let not Winter's touch
Enter between us. Sit by me before the hearth,
For fire is the only fruit of Winter.Speak to me of the glory of your heart, for
That is greater than the shrieking elements
Beyond our door.
Bind the door and seal the transoms, for the
Angry countenance of the heaven depresses my
Spirit, and the face of our snow-laden fields
Makes my soul cry.Feed the lamp with oil and let it not dim, and
Place it by you, so I can read with tears what
Your life with me has written upon your face.Bring Autumn's wine. Let us drink and sing the
Song of remembrance to Spring's carefree sowing,
And Summer's watchful tending, and Autumn's
Reward in harvest.Come close to me, oh beloved of my soul; the
Fire is cooling and fleeing under the ashes.
Embrace me, for I fear loneliness; the lamp is
Dim, and the wine which we pressed is closing
Our eyes. Let us look upon each other before
They are shut.
Find me with your arms and embrace me; let
Slumber then embrace our souls as one.
Kiss me, my beloved, for Winter has stolen
All but our moving lips.You are close by me, My Forever.
How deep and wide will be the ocean of Slumber,
And how recent was the dawn ~~ We loved with a love that was more than love ~ Edgar Allen Poe ~~ With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion ~ Edgar Allen Poe ~~ Union ~When two hearts unite
In love forevermore,
Joy resounds within our souls tonight.
Hand in Hand we glide together, mi amor
To Marry-ville and beyond...Even' tide ebbs and flows by,
Waves of love surround us both
As morning draws nigh...
Side by side, my loved one;
Each day renewing our nuptial oath.When two hearts unite,
Forever peace resides
and Joy sings hymns of praise tonight
As our souls collide
In a sacred Bond ~~ Dare To Dream ~~ When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true ~~ My soul is an enchanted boat,
Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing;
And thine doth like an angel sit
Beside a helm conducting it,
Whilst all the winds with melody are ringing.
It seems to float ever, forever,
Upon that many-winding river,
Between mountains, woods, abysses,
A paradise of wildernesses,
Till, like one in slumber bound,
Borne to the ocean, I float down, around,
Into a sea profound of ever-spreading sound ~~Imagine a circle, it had no ends,it shows how long I`ll be your friend.And even when death do us apart,I`ll keep our memories in my heart..~ It Was In My Heart To Help A Little
Because I Was Helped Much ~
~ Gibran Memorial Plaque ~~ Cavatina ~
~ You Were Beautiful,
Beautiful to my eyes.
From the moment I saw you,
The sun filled the sky ~Always ThereWhen I'm less than I should be
When I just can't face the day
When darkness falls around me
And I just jan't find my way
When my eyes don't clearly see
And I stumble through it all
You I lean upon, you keep me strong
And you rise me when I fall(chorus)
You are there when I most need you
You are there so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for meWhen life brings me to my knees
When my back's against the wall
You are standing there right with me
Just to keep me standing tall
Though a burden I might be
You don't weary, you don't rest
You are reaching out to carry me
And I know I'm heaven-blest ~~ A dream is a wish your heart makes
and my heart makes a wish for you
That you may find a rainbow
where all your dreams will come true ~~ O HOLY SPIRIT of the Hazel, hearken now:
Though shining suns and silver moons burn on the bough,
And though the fruit of stars by many myriads gleam,
Yet in the undergrowth below, still in thy dream,
Lighting the monstrous maze and labyrinthine gloom 5
Are many gem-winged flowers with gay and delicate bloom.
And in the shade, hearken, O Dreamer of the Tree,
One wild-rose blossom of thy spirit breathed on me
With lovely and still light: a little sister flower
To those that whitely on the tall moon-branches tower. 10
Lord of the Hazel, now, O hearken while I pray.
This wild-rose blossom of thy spirit fades away ~~ George William Russel ~~May You Have...Enough Happiness to keep you Sweet,
Enough Trials to keep you Strong,
Enough Sorrow to keep you Human,
Enough Hope to keep you Happy,
Enough Failure to keep you Humble,
Enough Success to keep you Eager,
Enough Friends to give you Comfort,
Enough Wealth to meet your Needs,
Enough Enthusiasm to look Forward,
Enough Faith to banish depression,
Enough Determination to Make Each Day
... Better than yesterday ~Lord,
make me an instrument of your Peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow Love;
Where there is injury, let me sow Pardon;
Where there is doubt, let me sow Faith;
Where there is despair, let me sow Hope;
Where there is darkness, let me sow Light;
And where there is sadness, let me sow Joy.~ St. Francis of Assisi ~May The Lord bless you and keep you.
May The Grace of God be with you - Today and Always.
Sometimes things happen that are hard to understand
- but I believe that faith will see us through.
Thinking of you warmly,
and wishing you life`s very best!~ May The Spirit Be With You ~~ Blessed Be ~~ Flow Of Life ~~ If the sky above seems cloudy
And you are left out in the rain
If you are searching for a rainbow
But the colors bring you painIf your world is not revolving
And there is no end in sight
If you are looking for the sunshine
But all you see is nightIf all around are smiling
But all you can do is frown
If you are tired of all this living
When life just brings you downThen look beyond you teardrops
At the wonders of this land
The beauty of a flower
Like velvet in your handFeel the air around you
The smell of new mown hay
Laughing children in the park
The innocence there at playImagine floating with a butterfly
As she flutters between the trees
Or the whispers of the ocean
On warm hot summer's breezeThink of the taste of candy floss
As it melts upon your tongue
Or the melody of morning birds
As they greet each day with songRemember words of beauty
Told in your mother's embrace
Feel the gentleness of her touch
As she softly kissed your faceSeek the good within you
Cast the clouds from your sky
Don't look toward the pavement
But hold your head up highThink not what life owes you
But of all you have to give
Forget about tomorrow
Then you can start to liveSo Bless this age you are living in
With the gifts you can bestow
Don't disregard the stream of life
Go gently with the flow ~~ Drink a Taste to Dionysus,
The God of Wine and Ecstasy
The Son of the Moon
Gather with Friends
To Celebrate the Day
With a bottle of Good Wine
and Good Cheer
Catch The Moon`s reflection in your cup
and raise it up in Salutation
Now drink in Her Essence
and feel the Presence
of the God and Goddess ~~ September - The Harvest Moon - Moon Love ~~ TO BE ONE IN LOVE ~It is said that when a relationship is sacred, there is "me", there is "you", and there is the third invisible element that holds us together. Who is that "one" that is felt when we love one another deeply? It is the divine, the sacred, the invisible friend who comes and magnetizes our hearts. And what is beyond the one? That is the deepest mystery.How do we cultivate this invisible presence? When we remember that our relationship is sacred and our every action and thought toward one another honors this deep mystery, the "one" establishes itself immediately. "You" and "I" are by the side of the Beloved (God), our greatest teacher and the deepest mystery. Everything is subordinate to the master, to the Beloved, even this "oneness" that brings us union and nourishes our relating.Perhaps the Beloved invented us to play a game of courtship with itself - the better lovers we are, the stronger love becomes. When love is strong there are no boundaries and separations, just a Blessed Union. That is the final teaching of the Beloved ~Farewell to thee! but not farewell
To all my fondest thoughts of thee:
Within my heart they still shall dwell;
And they shall cheer and comfort me.
O, beautiful, and full of grace!
If thou hadst never met mine eye,
I had not dreamed a living face
Could fancied charms so far outvie.If I may ne'er behold again
That form and face so dear to me,
Nor hear thy voice, still would I fain
Preserve, for aye, their memory.That voice, the magic of whose tone
Can wake an echo in my breast,
Creating feelings that, alone,
Can make my tranced spirit blest.That laughing eye, whose sunny beam
My memory would not cherish less; -
And oh, that smile! whose joyous gleam
Nor mortal language can express.Adieu, but let me cherish, still,
The hope with which I cannot part.
Contempt may wound, and coldness chill,
But still it lingers in my heart.And who can tell but Heaven, at last,
May answer all my thousand prayers,
And bid the future pay the past
With joy for anguish, smiles for tears ~~ THE WAVE OF BESTOWAL ~by Jalalludin RumiThe Human Being, like a bird of the seaEmerged from the ocean of the soul.Earth is not a final place of restFor a bird born from the sea.No, we are pearls of that ocean;All of us live in it;And if it weren't so, why would wave upon wave arrive?This is the time of union, the time of eternal beauty.It is the ocean of purity.The wave of bestowal has come.The roar of the sea is here.The morning of happiness has dawned ~~ BLESSED MARRIAGE ~May these vows and this marriage be blessed.May it be sweet milk, this marriage, like wine and halvah.May this marriage offer fruit and shade like the date palm.May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day a day in paradise.May this marriage be a sign of compassion,A seal of happiness here and hereafter.May this marriage have a fair face and a good name,An omen as welcome as the moon in a clear blue sky.I am out of words to describe how spirit mingles in this marriage ~~ A dream is a wish your heart makes
And my heart makes a wish for you
That you may find a rainbow
Where all your dreams will come trueMay there be sunlight ever streaming
Into your heart each day
May you always find the hand of friendship
Along each new highwayAnd may loving arms enfold you
When you need someone to care
And may your heart know that my heart
Is with you everywhere ~~ Celebrate the miracle
Of all that makes you YOU.
Count a blessing for each candle
Have your cake and eat it too!
Remember what a blessing you are
Even after this day is gone.
You're a gem, a priceless treasure
Let yourself shine on ~~ Together Forever and Never apart
Maybe in Distance, but Never in Heart ~remember

I am in comfort; I am in peace ~~Kahlil Gibran ~~ You were born together,
and together you shall be for evermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness.
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.Love one another,
but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other`s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone.
Even as the strings of a lut are alone
though they quiver with the same music.Give your hearts,
but not into each other`s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together
yet not too near together;
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each others shadow ~
~ Kahlil Gibran ~~ Song of the Soul XXII ~~ In the depth of my soul there is
A wordless song - a song that lives
In the seed of my heart.
It refuses to melt with ink on
Parchment; it engulfs my affection
In a transparent cloak and flows,
But not upon my lips.
How can I sigh it? I fear it may
Mingle with earthly ether;
To whom shall I sing it? It dwells
In the house of my soul, in fear of
Harsh ears.
When I look into my inner eyes
I see the shadow of its shadow;
When I touch my fingertips
I feel its vibrations.
The deeds of my hands heed its
Presence as a lake must reflect
The glittering stars; my tears
Reveal it, as bright drops of dew
Reveal the secret of a withering rose.
It is a song composed by contemplation,
And published by silence,
And shunned by clamor,
And folded by truth,
And repeated by dreams,
And understood by love,
And hidden by awakening,
And sung by the soul.
It is the song of love;
What Cain or Esau could sing it?
It is more fragrant than jasmine;
What voice could enslave it?
It is heartbound, as a virgin's secret;
What string could quiver it?
Who dares unite the roar of the sea
And the singing of the nightingale?
Who dares compare the shrieking tempest
To the sigh of an infant?
Who dares speak aloud the words
Intended for the heart to speak?
What human dares sing in voice

You are loved ~~ To My Dear Friend ~~ MAGIC OF LOVE ~~ Love is like Magic and it always will be,
For Love still remains Life’s Sweet Mystery,
Love works in ways that are wondrous and strange,
And there’s Nothing in Life that Love cannot change,
Love can transform the most common place
Into beauty and splendor and sweetness and grace,
Love is unselfish, understanding and kind,
For it sees with its Heart and not with its Mind,
Love gives and forgives, there is nothing too much,
For Love to heal with its Magic Touch,
Love is the language that every heart speaks,
For Love is the one thing that every heart seeks ~~ Bless Your Day ~~ HugZ & LoVe from Jorunn ~~ St. Theresa's Prayer ~
May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us ~~~"I came to say a word and I shall say it now. But if death prevents me, it will be said by Tomorrow, for Tomorrow never leaves a secret in the book of Eternity.
~~I came to live in the glory of Love and the light of Beauty, which are the reflections of God. I am here, living, and I cannot be exiled from the domain of life, for through my living word I will live in death.
~~I came here to be for all and with all, and what I do today in my solitude will be echoed Tomorrow by the multitude.

then let your heart say in awe,
"God moves in passion."And since you are a breath In God's sphere,
and a leaf in God's forest,
you too should rest in reason and move in passion ~~ Dear Beautiful Soul ~~ The Legend Of The Rainbow ~Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel; all claimed that they were the best, the most important, the most useful, the favorite.GREEN said; "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees, leaves...without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."BLUE interrupted; "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would be nothing."YELLOW chuckled; "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet; "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious...for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes and pawpaws. I don`t hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you!"RED could stand it no longer. He shouted out; "I am the ruler of all of you. - I am blood - Life`s Blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."PURPLE rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp; "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me - they listen and obey."Finally, INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than the others, but with just as much determination; "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace..."-And so the colors went on boasting each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder.-Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening - thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak; "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don`t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me!"Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.The rain continued; "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a Sign of Hope for Tomorrow. And so, whenever a Good Rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us Remember to Appreciate One Another ~~ Based on a Native American Legend ~~ Wish You Joy Beyond Compare ~~ With Love and Blessings, Jorunn ~img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/miss-Malin/6121ua
