A Day at the Beach: 071116
Come away with me to the beach
Stripping away our cares and clothes
Diving into the roaring surf
Our naked bodies shining
Sunning on golden beaches of Bliss
Come spend the day
Making memories for a lifetime
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Making Love with ourselves
In the Sun, Surf and Breeze

MUSIC:"Stars" by Eriks Ešenvalds performed by Voces8
GLORIOUSLY GORGEOUS
I HIGHLY Recommend listening to this!
I HIGHLY Recommend listening to this!
Imagine
You are out in the wilderness upon a hill
(or a BEACH) at night
Far away from the city lights
You gaze transfixed, awed
By the majesty of the bejeweled night sky
This song expresses this experience
Lyrics from the poem:
Flame and Shadow (1920)
by Sara Teasdale
"Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,
And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;
Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;
Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Stately and still,
And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty."

AOM Meditations: 071116
Oriental Poppies (1928) By Georgia O'Keeffe
~*~
"I know well that when people speak of love and empathy and honor in the face of violence, it can feel like meeting hard power with soft, like there is inherent weakness in an approach that leans so heavily on things so ephemeral and even clichéd.
But that is simply an illusion fostered by those of little faith.
Anger and vengeance and violence are exceedingly easy to access and almost effortlessly unleashed.
The higher calling — the harder trial — is the belief in the ultimate moral justice and the inevitable victory of righteousness over wrong.
This requires an almost religious faith in fate, and that can be hard for some to accept, but accept it we must."

Hey Sweetie! 071116
Hey Sweetie,
WELCOME HOME
Brothers and Sisters
I have missed you so very much
I had a very good break (much needed)
But I am very sad that I wasn't here for you
As we have witnessed so many horrible tragedies
From around the world while I was gone
My heart reaches out
To caress and soothe your hearts with
Peace and Love
Inspiration and Healing
Beauty and Joy
I seek to share things
That will nourish your soul
Things that celebrate LIFE and LOVE
It is my great hope that each of you will
Take the time to read and contemplate
AOM Meditations
And watch and listen to
AOM TV and AOM Music
We cannot bury our heads in the sand
From all the ugliness in our world
Nor should we
But we do need a place to go (a refuge)
To renew our strength and faith
In the Beauty, Joy and Love in our world
And so each day
I attempt to make AOM such a place for you
For all of us
I may not be successful every day
But I think it is the attempt
That is most important
So come on in,
Take your clothes off,
And sit a spell
Let's enjoy some AOM time together
Let us focus on the glorious
Beauty, Joy, Peace and Love
That this wonderful world of ours provides

Considering all the bad things that have happened recently
We need to redouble our efforts
In sending out positive energy into the world
I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer
Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings
Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind
And focus on the here and now
This present moment
Now
Breathe in
Filling your being with peace and love
As you begin each line, breathe out slowly
Breathing these thoughts into the world
Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love
Sending them from your heart
Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings
Breathe in and repeat the process for each line
Namaste

If humans are to survive, we will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between people and between cultures. We will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear.
~Gene Roddenberry
~*~
We need to promote greater tolerance and understanding among the peoples of the world. Nothing can be more dangerous to our efforts to build peace and development than a world divided along religious, ethnic or cultural lines. In each nation, and among all nations, we must work to promote unity based on our shared humanity.
~Kofi Annan

The human family is very diverse, with many different beliefs and cultures and ways of life. Many conflicts in our world are caused when people are intolerant of the ways that others see the world. Learning tolerance is an important cornerstone to creating a better world.

"Shenandoah"
A beautiful performance of
A great traditional song
"The song appears to have originated with Canadian and American voyageurs or fur traders traveling down the Missouri River in canoes, and has developed several different sets of lyrics. Some lyrics refer to the Native American chief "Shenandoah" (Oskanondonha) and a canoe-going trader who wants to marry his daughter. By the mid 1800s versions of the song had become a sea shanty heard or sung by sailors in various parts of the world."(Wikipedia)
