The Power of Touch

"When we bring peace to all that we do, everything becomes an act of healing. Let us express our artistry, craft and skills as a means to uplift ourselves, our community and our environment."

Our Life is a Model

Harmonize ~ Model ~ Integrity "...in all circumstances and situations and conditions one should try to harmonize with one's fellow creatures."

On occasion it's possible to close our eyes and visualize the sound of harmony, in music, as the photo eludes, a wonderful sensation of contentment or rightness fills our being, a complete and utter sense of perfection. Fears of world chaos, destruction and power slide into the ether. Peacefulness does and can  exist. It's possible to go there. Grasping these moments may ultimately be our salvation.

The two readings today, Tone Eight and #17 Red Earth set forth such comforting images to begin a wintry day, cold, yet activity is demanded. Out we go into the elements, expending energy to continue the work of  harmony. For me, a world without killing. I don't know why humans continue to kill humans. It is a question which baffles me. Other mammals do not kill their own (one on one, yes, but not  en masse)...I just don't get it.  What happens to eliminate the human to human connection? These are the questions which disrupt our harmony, the questions which put the world in chaos. And so, we continue our efforts to model our values.

Many of my friends and I will be participating in the Eyes Wide Open Exhibit today, hosted by Red Cedar Friends. A reminder all is not harmony. Whatever your tasks today, may the intention of integrity prevail and inspire.

The Growing of the Cold

Month of January--smoky is the vale;
Weary the wine-bearer; strolling the minstrel; Lean the cow; seldom the hum of the bee.
