There’s a new piece of poetry that I wrote, just put on the POETRY page entitled, AND SO IT IS… Click on the ‘poetry’ link below. Hope you enjoy it.
Have a beautiful day, night, morning, moment – wherever you are!
Be well and prosper!
In the midst of all the craziness, it’s good to remember the beauty and wonder of this marvelous planet we call, EARTH – also known as, GAIA, to some.
And what better time to do it than on the day we have chosen to mark its beauty – EARTH DAY, which is of course, today.
So go on now, celebrate the beauty – step out of the fog of everything else (no matter how important it all seems) and remember how exquisite this planet is, how lucky we are to be a part of it all, and how in harmony it (and we) can be if we put all attention into LOVING IT ALL INTO HARMONY once more.
Who knows, we might even move into harmony ourselves. Imagine that!
So check out the flowers, the petals, the new growth, the sun glistening on the water, the breeze kissing the leaves, and the dance of it all in our hearts. Then, if it feels right, give thanks for absolutely every little bit of it, large and small.
Happy Earth Day Everyone!
Hi Everyone!
I realize it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. Apologies for that. I have a couple of thoughts I do want to share soon, but for now, when you have a moment, head over to the WHAT’S NEW page to see the latest news. Just click here WHAT’S NEW
BIG thanks … and be sure to take very good care in these crazy times. Why? Because YOU matter.
Love & Infinite Blessings.
For those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, sunlight in winter can be a fragile thing, often fleeting, here one moment and gone the next, to return one knows not when. So when the days begin to get a touch longer and the sun chooses to surprise when least expected and blast its merry way into the fabric of a day, well, it’s a rather lovely thing.
Today, there was sun!
With the sun come thoughts of Spring. And with thoughts of Spring, we must have thoughts of gardens! To ponder, to plan, to create anew. Whether flower or vegetable, bush or herb, the idea of flourishing fruitful beauty waxes most poetic to the winter heart that longs for a balmy breezy afternoon, a salad fresh from the soil, and a petal or two of buds to enhance the mood. Of course waxing poetic brings with it tones of love.
And tones of love, when dwelt upon for more than a millisecond, carry with them endless possibilities of a life full of magic and wonder. One kissed by the fairies and blessed by the angels. And a bite or two of chocolate too (of the dark variety, obviously).
Thus come thoughts of a garden of love. But of course!!
So if you’re feeling kissed by sunlight, drink from the cup of its beauty and magic to the very depths of your being, allow the love that bubbles up from within to flow forth from your imaginative heart like a waterfall of shimmering light – and enjoy the day.
For love is the answer to all things. And a garden tended with love can turn the whole world into a blessed thing.
*thanks to all for the use of the free photos!! Namaste.
Remember, Love is the answer.
It’s snowy here, with a winter frost, and a chill beyond the norm. The desire to hunker down, wrap yourself in leaves of warmth, submerge until … But this is precisely the time to dare to bloom, to open wide the tenderness of heart, and find that precious gem of golden light that speaks to the truth of you who really are.
Deep space Love blooming like snowdrops from within the ground of our remembering, bursting forth midst the sun-kissed light of day.
For this is who you are, this deep space Love. This is YOU, the Eternal Heart, calling you to remember, to live anew, to dare, to dream, to imagine infinite possibilities wrapped in infinite Love, emitting forth with infinite joy. This is YOU.
So go on now, IMAGINE … YOU bursting forth like precious snowdrops into the exquisite light of day.
I can feel your smile from here.
Love IS the answer … and it lives deep within you.
So go be the sunflower in your life.
Open those inner doors
and let the light of the love you are shine through.
IMAGINE what will happen then!
Have a glorious day, wherever you may be.
Even the smallest of flowers nestled along a forest pathway shine forth great beauty.
Celebrate the beauty of the day wherever you are, whatever you are doing. And remember, love is everywhere. Sometimes you have to open your heart a little wider to find it.
Hi Wonderful Ones!
Yes, there is another Universal Sacred Geometry Gate available and it is YUMMY! Go take a peek on the WHAT’S NEW page … Click here WHAT’S NEW
And wherever you are, have a wonderful day. And remember, no matter how crazy life appears to be, LOVE really does heal all.
May all your most beautiful wonderful dreams come true.
No Goddess Likes To Be Ignored
by Aliana Alani ©2018
She enters your world like the goddess she is
Late or early, one knows not which
She has her own sense of time
Her own way
A flick of red-gold
A puff of smoke
Flirtatious, at first
She enters
And you pay her no mind, silly you
No goddess likes to be ignored
She beats the drum of her inner womb
Until you turn and look her way
Beats some more until you think – enough
But she has just begun
She’s claiming ground now
Caressing skin
Searching for the heart
Taking what is hers
What you thought was yours, silly you
Rumbling along the path of your tomorrows
Cracking wide the green of your todays
Filling the spaces, red-hot and wild
Call her if you can, if you will
But do not speak her name in vain
No goddess likes that either
Say to her only this:
I see you and I remember
Say:
Let us live in harmony, you and I
Say:
Aloha, Pele, Aloha, Aloha, Aloha
LIFE IS LIKE A GARDEN…
by Aliana Alani ©2018
LIFE IS LIKE A GARDEN. Granted we don’t always see it that way but if you think about it, really think about it – it is. So look around you. What do you see?
If it’s a garden in your yard, you might see blooming flowers, unless of course it’s the beginning of Spring in which case you may be looking at dead grass and last year’s we’ve-lost-all-our-glow autumn leaves. However, you might also see a fledgling little popup of green here or there, which is good news, because those would be the bulbs you planted last fall now getting ready to burst upon the scene with much desired vibrant colour. The thought of which makes a person smile. It’s got to. Who doesn’t love colour after a long white winter?
And if it’s the garden of your yard, you know that all there is to do is get out there with that rake, scoop up all those dead leaves, turn over the soil in those flower beds, and yup, plant a few flowers. And then, voilà, you have yourself a beauteous landscape of a backyard, guaranteed to touch your heart, and garner admiration from your neighbours all summer long.
Now – If it’s the garden of your life and all you see around you is dead grass, then you have a bit of work to do. Dead grass in your personal garden is a wakeup call. For just like your backyard garden needs a little TLC now and then (that’s tender loving care for those of you who might not remember), so does the garden of your life.
Dead grass brings with it questions. The obvious one being – where is the life? That’s a question bordering on the existential which could take you forever to answer if you’re not careful so give yourself permission to hear the sound bite version! And then we have – how long has it been since you’ve seeded it with dreams of possibility? Those are the Yes I Can dreams you’ve held close to your heart for so long. How long since you’ve watered your life with love? If you’re having trouble locating the watering can then you’ve got your answer to that one. If there’s a lot of dead grass then chances are you’ve either ignored your garden, perhaps completely, or fed it consciously or not with thoughts of anguish, doubt, or despair. Oh dear.
Your opportunity, should you choose to accept it, is to cast an eye (two if you’re feeling really brave) around the garden of your life and see what you find. If it’s an endless field of dead stuff, then ask yourself why. The next course of action is obviously the rake, the shovel, or the rototiller. But before you go using the rototiller, we should probably talk.
More Life is a Garden thoughts to come, so tune in again!
HAPPY GARDENING!
