Finding Beauty – Tender Heart

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Butterfly Wisdom: Poetry, Truisms,...., Finding Beauty

 

Tender Heart

Though you’ve known troubles so dark that fear could kill

You are beautiful, kind smile, wise eyes that see the depth of here,

Refined colors within, inspired song of world with goodwill

Tender heart draws compassion, freedom from darkness, to come near.

White Orchids

 

As spiritual beings we are each beautiful and unique and it is our opportunity as earthlings to bring that forth and improve our condition now. 

Orchards and Boats

The orchid signifies different qualities in different cultures, but it can be said that beauty, refinement and affection are predominate. Qualities we all aspire to, and more importantly qualities that are already ours!

Orchids hanging from an eave  along the river is an unexpected combination unless you are in a tropical country like Thailand!

Finding Beauty – Things Change

Things Change

White clouds, daydreams dance across the sky,
White flowers, bees wings, buzz does day glorify.
Ego, cries and does surmise change is not our thing,
Soul, brave and life’s map does aviate like a butterfly.

Shiny Bee

We are in a state of constant change physically, mentally and emotionally!

We may think we don’t like change, but everything about our inner nature says we do!

A positive thought about change – that it is a natural process of life, will help us face uncertainty or unexpected changes. A positive attitude negates a bit of negative energy that we may carry in the subconscious, putting us in a more embracing attitude.

“Science should discover the things which Nature has in store, which are almost limitless. The more we remain in tune with Nature, the more Nature reveals Itself.”

Reflection on the River of Life

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Butterfly Wisdom: Poetry, Truisms,...., Finding Beauty

 

Appreciation for Mother Nature can open our awareness to Universal Love. 

Reflections on Thai River

 

The calmer and more serene we are mentally and emotionally the better we are able to realize our true spiritual character and reflect it in our earthly life.

 

Everything in our life presents us with opportunities. Even our reflection on water can open us to spiritual realizations.

 When we are conscious and appreciate this very moment of our life, we are aware of our Inner Being:  the energy of our self, our thinking, our feelings of sincerity, peace and harmony –  we realize we are part of the river of All Energy, Powers and Love; our Unity with all Beings and the Infinite Source.

We are centered within our self, caring, compassionate and aware of being part of All.

Each of us are very capable of consciously experiencing our unity with the Source of our earthly reflection.

Butterfly Wisdom – Drifting Desires

Floating Hopes

Drifting Desires

Though desires are realized, happiness is fleeting.

 Some drift downstream, continually retreating.

New desires drift in, some repeating.

Stay present, conscious mind, and desires begin depleting.

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

Finding Beauty – Cherry Blossoms

“We should try to develop the love of Beauty, which is at the
foundation of our being.”
Eugene Fersen

Weeping Cherry Blossom

 Cherry Blossoms

 One of the most spectacular signs of life budding from a long winter’s slumber is that of the plants and trees blooming with warm spring colors against clear, blue skies.

Pale pink is the color of tender and unconditional Love.
It is spring’s sweet blossom of compassion and gentle nurturing.

In the Japanese tradition and art the cherry tree is symbolic of extreme beauty then quick death; mortality. It’s like clouds that burst forth in their bountiful glory then quickly change, even disappearing to the human eye though they have merely changed form.

Life it is always changing and in constant movement. Upon the earthly death of an individual, the soul  merely changes its body, its form.

Weeping Cherry Trunk

Even the trunk of the ornamental cherry tree is beautiful!

When become aware of such wonders it brightens our outlook because it inspires us to appreciate not only the beauty we live in, but also to feel it emotionally!

In the hope You have many emotional sunflowers in your life, Portia SLB
