SOFT, MY LOVE …

Soft, how the river flows

and I, a thousand dreams away, ride

like waves upon the sea of memory.

Soft, the winds they do approach

and with their building swirl and blow

doth come the dance of love’s hidden symphony.

Spin and twirl, my love

the fairies’ melody begins like May flowers

fluttering on a budding hawthorn tree.

And you and I, once wrapped in gossamer

will soon discover the light of day.

Soft, my love, the world awakes

with a clap and thunder.

Amidst the swirl…

I pray for peace

I pray for love

I pray for you.

I pray for health

I pray for wealth

I pray for you.

I pray for harmony

I pray for strength

I pray for you.

I pray for this world

I pray for our family

I pray for you.

I pray for clear vision, unbounded courage,

and an open heart

I pray for who we truly are in the light of life,

and who we can be – even here, even now

I pray for you.

I pray for you

I pray for me

I pray.

The Duende of Life

Posted on June 18, 2013 by AlianaAlani

Within this world of sun and shade, sol y sombre,

reside magical moments, the duende of life.

Often tucked within the cloak of contrasts and opposites,

sometimes hidden from conscious view,

they hover like resonant keys

to golden doors

of long awaited stories.

Available to each and every one of us if we will but listen

and then dare –

to taste the fruit of their knowing,

drink from their cup of unlimited possibility,

luxuriate in creation’s abundance,

and know it to be our own.

There has never been a better time…

There has never been a better time to come home to The Garden of Love.

OVER THE COMING YEAR, I will be creating a series of paintings: small snapshots lush with colour and light guided by inner wisdom and brushed with the blessings that come from the inner garden.

DONE IN ACRYLIC (perhaps with a dusting of beads), each painting will be a segment of the delicious beauty that is The Garden. Some will be floral. Others may follow pathways or rippling pools, stately trees or even a view across vast waters. Some may contain portals. Others, faces. All will be rather surreal. Many will also carry within a touch of sacred geometry – a gateway to the Heart of The Garden – done primarily in white & gold.

THE INTENT IS to create both visual beauty and deep inner resonance connected directly to The Garden of Life, and hence of Love. So that whenever you view it, somewhere within your heart is touched and a door opens. You breathe the sacred breath of The Garden, and smile.

YOU CAN EASILY HAVE one of these paintings, either by buying one of the originals as they become available, or by having one commissioned specifically for you.

Enjoy the day!
