You come to us
from another world
From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love
You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king
You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.
Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.*

A little saxifraga flower.... they are so tiny - it was an experience taking a closer macro-look on them! They grow like a pink cloud..... I tried to transport this feeling with the selective focus.
Dedicated to my niece Sarah... she has such wonderful inner eyes looking at and commenting my photographs!
While Diwali is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant esoteric meaning is "the awareness of the inner light".
Central to Hindu philosophy is the assertion that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal. Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this Inner Light.
Diwali celebrates this through festive fireworks, lights, flowers, sharing sweets, and worship. While the story behind Diwali varies from region to region, the essence is the same - to rejoice in the Inner Light.

Lots of rain this summer... probably that's why I feel so attracted by these wonderful bright colours... emanating so much joy and light.
*) Janoid... I took your comment as title... love it!
>>Can you hear the Gods whispering in the dark,
speaking to you through the rustle of leaves?<<
The "disciples of the roving heart" pools question

This is dedicated to ScaryLily... her photograph inspired me to have a different point of view on this little winter beauty!!!

I've got nothing to say about this except, Brrrr. It was cold out there today!
Hand held from on top of a dune with 23mph wind gusts.
this is the first of my 12 jewels
thank you * too blessed to be depressed * for inspiring it and let me think about my own :-)
Oh and I am not very happy with that first one but I had to start somewhere... Don't be mad :-\

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That. *

When I saw this little "fountains" I inmediately had my old favourite song in mind
"fountain of sorrow" by Jackson Browne... was going to put a link to the song... but
it didn't work, so here are the lyrics:
FOUTAIN OF SORROW
FOUNTAIN OF LIGHT
(...)
Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light
Youve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight
Youve had to hide sometimes, but now youre all right
And its good to see your smiling face tonight
(...)
song by Jackson Browne
This "fountain of light" goes with the neighbouring photograph "fountain of sorrow"
Another oldie from Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.
No big deal, just prepping candidates for next years "digital paintbrush" calendar.

Stream of Life
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

"The offering songs"
Rabindranath Tagore
a shamanic journey to the dark side of the moon .. if you bring enough inner light along with you the whole thing lights up ...
There seems to be what looks like a poetic cow down there in a crater ringing it's bell ....
Thank you sooo much for all your best wishes to get well again!
I am still a little weary... haven't had a migrane like this for ages.
On my morning walk I found these two healing plants... St. John's wort
and Calendula (next pic). It is a real cloudy and dark morning, I was
marvelled by the intense inner light of these flowers.
