Every Leaf Has a Story

Every autumn leaf has a story~ a message from Gaia ~  sweet prayers falling from the trees.

Gaia knows it’s history, it’s story, it’s beauty, it’s individual veins and ragged edges.

thought for the day;

A season of such beauty,
Nature’s artistry unfolds,
The foliage all around us,
Reds, crimsons, even golds.

The air is fresh and crisp,
Winter snow hovers near,
Autumn leaves in brilliant beauty,
Add their notes of festive cheer.

A vibrant canopy of leaves,
Offers shelter from the sun,
Until a rising evening breeze,
Sends them flying, one by one.

By morning and the falling rain,
The lovely leaves are no more,
They have fallen from the trees,
And lay on the forest floor.

~  Carmen Henesy

Everyday Goddessing  is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside  each of us. – Rose Arizmendi

Beautiful World ~ Mother Gaia

Breathtaking , stunningly beautiful video of our Mother Earth!

Two wonderful videos to revitalize the soul & spirit on this sunny Sunday Morning.

A reminder of why we need to do as much as we can individually to help save our Mother Earth

“What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.

This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.

All things are connected like the blood that unites us all.

Man does not weave this web of life.

He is merely a strand of it.

Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

~ Chief Seattle (1786-1866)

Cherish the moments

Cherish the moments – Mixed media collage

Did you ever share an umbrella with a special someone and cherish the memory of that moment for the rest of your life?

The taste and smell ~ the different colors and textures ~ the steady sound of raindrops as they grew heavier falling from the sky. Laughing and soaking up the joy of one another’s presence ~ huddled beneath an iron grey sky.

The moments we share with others are no ordinary moments. The small everyday things in life that we often take for granted are brimming over with little treasures or gifts  just waiting to be unwrapped and savored.

Sweet memories layered ~ one on top of the other.

thought for the day; “And even if you were in some prison, the walls of which let none of the sounds of the world come to your senses – would you not then still have your childhood, that precious, kingly possession, that treasure-house of memories?”  ~Rainer Maria Rilke

Welcome Sweet October!

Autumn leaves clinging to trees

Spinning & floating through the air ~ A time of change

Floating in water ~ reflections

The circle of life ~ Watching the seasons come and go

thought for the day;

The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea. ~ T. S. Eliot

Nammu

Here’s a peak at one of the  paintings I’ve been working on for a couple of months. Inspiration came from a dream I had several months ago. When I’ve finished the painting I will post the story behind it on ~  http://www.gaiasgallery.com/
