32/365: Using one of the hearts from the teddy photo, they are from my bathroom, I have quite a collection of hearts...no surprise there ;) If you look closely you will see a heart shape on the mug too.

Now I've posted this and looked at it again I think the mug should be a little higher and slightly more to the left. However, I've drunk the tea and put everything away so that's something for another day...also, I seem to be drinking a lot of tea! ;)

It’s not age that limits deep connection, it’s the walls we build. A young heart remains open, curious, and willing to leap. That’s how childhood bonds are formed, and how adult ones can be, too.

Pamela Cox

The bonds we create with others are significant, but the most important connection we can establish is within ourselves. Sometimes, we need to let go of the dreams we formed as children or young adults and start anew, using the experience and foundation we’ve built while growing up. When I refer to growing up, I specifically mean our forties. I believe that in our forties, we truly discover what we love; before that, it's mostly a process of research and information gathering.

P.S. I didn't exactly choose or want the direction where life took me… but if that's what I've got, I'm gonna ROCK it!

Caro Gesù,

sono salito qui, vicino vicino al tuo orecchio, perché quello che ti devo dire è molto importante.

Sono solo un Orsetto che viaggia per il mondo della fantasia, ma la mia è la voce di tutti.

Sai, nel mio mondo non esistono guerre, violenze e repressioni.

Nel mio mondo non esistono politici arroganti che pensano solo ai loro interessi.

Nel mio mondo non esistono nazioni che si arrogano il diritto di esportare la democrazia nei paesi dai quali si può ricavare in seguito un tornaconto economico.

Nel mio mondo non esiste una Chiesa cieca verso una parte di oppressi.

Nel mio mondo siamo tutti uguali.

Nel mio mondo non abbiamo perso la capacità di Sognare.

E di Amare.

Certo che l’”Uomo” è uno strano animale.

Scusami se mi sono dilungato,

ritorno alla mia casa,

dove la Vita ha ancora un valore.

Orsetto.

Dear Jesus,

I rose up until here, near Your ear, because what I want to tell You is a very important thing. I’m just a little bear, that travels around the fantasy world, but my voice stands for everybody’s thought.

You know, in my world there are no wars, violence and repressions.

In my world there are no selfish politicians.

In my world there are no nations that fight to spread democracy just to have money back from it.

In my world there is no blind and oppressive religion.

In my world there are no differences between human beings.

In my world we didn’t lose the capability to Dream.

And to Love.

“Human being” is a strange kind of animal, actually.

I return to my house, now,

Where Life is still worth a thing.

Orsetto

Open your heart and fill it with light.

~ kahlil gibran

am posting this image as a prayer for Light to find all hearts..

for peace and harmony to prevail.

Lebanon is a sunny land, vine-laden and fragrant with cedars.. its essence is peace..

but, because of a quirk of geography, Lebanon has become yet again a sacrificial lamb.

it was a mere 4 months ago that the people of Lebanon, from their own resources and hearts, realized a taste of freedom..

(some images of these 'freedom blossoms' are on the previous page here.)

those and all images from Lebanon, including this one, were taken by my forever friend Jim Billings.. (seen in the image "Honey from the Rock").

these are ancient Roman ruins in the Bekaa Valley.

the day of my brother's heart surgery, on the waiting room television i first saw the flames and smoke from bombs darken the Beirut sky... i knew my friend was there.

Jim & his younger son Zee are amongst those now in Lebanon who are experiencing the horror of bombings. (his 16 year old daughter's flight into Beirut was turned away just as the bombs fell and tore out the airport on the first day of this catastrophe. Julia was coming home all alone, her flight was rerouted.)

though their story is personal to me, it is just one of millions of stories happening there right now...

next to all the destruction, death and fear - yet again - for the Lebanese people .. i find myself caring, perhaps disproportionately, about all the animals there who are suffering.. and the pets of those being evacuated (including Jim's 2 very old dogs) many of which will probably have to be left there..

divine streams of light from sky to earth, as in this image: Jimmy had told me that one of his dear Lebanese friends calls them "the hand of God"...

it brings to mind/heart something called The Great Invocation, taught me by a beautiful teacher long ago ~ here is part:

≈

from the point of Light within the mind of God

let Light spring forth into the minds of All

may Light descend on earth..

from the point of Love within the heart of God

let Love spring forth into the hearts of All

may Love return to earth.

totally inspired by the lyrics to this amazing song by U2

an oldie but a mega goody.. specifically this part-

"You say love is a temple, love a higher law

Love is a temple, love the higher law

You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl

And I can't be holdin' on to what you got

When all you got is hurt

One love, one blood

One life, you got to do what you should

One life, with each other

Sisters, brothers

One life but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One

One"

Made by my son to depict speaking from an open heart. The title belongs to me: he doesn't know the song of Julio Iglesias.

Happy Valentine's Day friends, and thanks for all the love you send my way. Sending it right back.

"The holly and the ivy

Are plants that are well known

Of all the trees that grow in the woods

The holly bears the crown."

[Unknown. The Holly and the Ivy (l. 1-4). . . Oxford Book of English Traditional Verse, The. Frederick Woods, ed. (1983) Oxford University Press.]

Ilex is a genus of 400 to 600 species of flowering plants in the family Aquifoliaceae, and the only living genus in that family. The species are evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, and climbers from tropics to temperate zones worldwide. Originally the name of "ilex" was that of the european species (Ilex aquifolium ), many representatives of the genus Ilex were also called by the common name Holly because of the obvious resemblance. In Roman times, the Roman people in Latin language originally designated as Ilex the evergreen oak, named today scientifically (Quercus ilex). The leaves of the Holly actually recall those of the oak. Also Ilex have small berries named drupes. The fruit is a berry, usually red but is red to brown to black, rarely green or yellow. The "bones" contain up to ten seeds each. (from Wikipedia)

“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it

seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:

• a rainy day,

• lost luggage,

• tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as

making a life.

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart,

I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
