I once found a perfectly preserved dragonfly carcass.
Its wings were beautiful, like stained glass windows capturing the light.

Focus words for Meditation and Contemplation


Honesty ~ honest appraisal of our inner self and acceptance of our true self.

Helpfulness ~ Finding inner strength to help our self and others, caring can be our most courageous gift.

Hope ~ Is an optimism that makes our hearts sing.

Happiness ~ Is a strength. Exercise a smile, practise a laugh, build up a store of contentment to obtain it.



Love

 No cup can contain Love, it will always overfill any vessel.

Refection

 My path, now slow

Winds through the mown avenues

Of old trees saving up for Autumn

And the streams and rivers

Are quiet ponds of silver

Where fish dream under waterlilies

And memories, like clouds above

Are reflections in still water

All shall be well

 'All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.'

Revelations of Divine Love
Julian of Norwich
