I’ve Seen Her I’ve seen my love; I’ve seen her pass, She walks with such a grace. She turned and smiled across at me, The sun upon her face. And I could swear I caught the scent, The fragrance of her hair. Could I believe – should I believe, Her spirit blessed me there? Her eyes so bright, they shone with love, No pain to cloud them now, And when she laughed, no line was seen, Across that perfect brow. Oh love, if you would only wait, Beyond the tears and pain, We’ll walk together, hand in hand, In love, In peace, Again. David George

Some relationships are not good for the soul ,it’s better to let it die . I left this man when his wife came back with the kids without notice.He was in the army for many years and was completly detached from his emotions.He acted like everything and everyone were smaller than him…just like a king Lion…. :) Tom Vaughan helped me a lot for the translation.Then a super nice lady namedSusan Van Zil finickted it over…I feel so lucky to have such nice persons arround me to give me a hand…a big thank you…XX / Picture taken at St-Jean-Port-Joli along the fleuve St-Laurent,province of Quebec. The lion man The kitten plays with his woolen ball / Happy at last to have something to put under his tooth / Quietly, his ancestral pains immerge from his body / He bites, slowly at first and then more and more strongly / His lioness must stay soft, loving and submissive in spite of the bites / in spite of the competition of another female and her offspring / But she passed the age of obedience / He can not accept, his pride is to big / Something in him attracts her. He’s a warrior, / so is she, passionate and proud / He is moved beyond this last battle just after an intense love / puts an end to their mutual rage. / The lioness lies like a gnu, the jugular opened, / with an eternal and proud glance / Happy at last that her love had chosen / in spite of him, the end / He does not share his females, she wanted to leave him / because she does not share the one she loves. / He carries a gash, / but it is only one scar moreover / More visible than all the wounds hiding in his young body / Tired to be on the look-out / weary to battle against all those contradictory emotions / endless torture… / He knows neither sorrow nor regrets / Just a funny feeling, deep in his throat, / a queezing sensation, another howling of rage / for a world much more smaller than him / On witch he has authority, his equal mate just died today / and it is much better thus. / He remains the strongest, the king, / the master of the Savanna / Still and mortal / He does not have friends / His only enemy is himself / Sad and secluded struggle L’homme lion Le chaton joue avec sa balle de laine / Heureux enfin d’avoir quelque chose à se mettre sous la dent / Très vite, ses douleurs ancestrales refont surface / Il mord ,doucement au début ,puis,de plus en plus fort / Sa lionne doit être douce,aimante et docile, malgré les morsures / Malgré la compétition d’une autre femelle et sa progéniture Mais elle a passé l’âge de la soumission / Il ne peut accepter ,son orgueuil est trop grand / Quelque chose chez elle l’attire ,il est un guerrier / Elle est une guerrière, passionnée et fière / Il est dépassé et inquiet…une dernière bataille / Juste après l’avoir conquise intensément ,met fin à cette rage mutuelle La lionne git comme le gnou / La jugulaire ouverte,le regard fier / Heureuse enfin que son amour ait choisi / Bien malgré lui, la fin / Il ne prête pas ses lionnes,elle voulait le quitter / Car elle ne prête pas son amour Il porte une balafre,mais ce n’est qu’une cicatrice de plus / Plus visible que toutes ces marques / Enfouies dans un corps jeune ,mais las / D’être toujours aux aguets,fatigué de se battre / Contre toutes ces émotions contracdictoires / Interminable supplice Il ne connait ni peine ni regret / Juste une drôle de sensation à la gorge ,un serrement / Un autre rugissement de colère / Pour un monde bien plus petit que lui / Sur lequel il a autorité…son égale vient de mourir / C’est beaucoup mieux ainsi Il reste le plus fort,le roi,le diable de la savane / Silençieux et mortel / Il n’a pas d’amis ,son seul ennemi / Est lui même / Combat solitaire et triste ….

Whatever you are giving your attention to is already vibrating. And when you give your attention to it, if you maintain your focus for as little as 17 seconds, you begin to include its vibration, whatever it is, in your vibration. When you see something you want, and you give it your attention, and you say yes to it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration. When you see something you do not want, and you shout no at it, you are including whatever its vibration is in your vibration. In this vibrational world, which is everything, you are far more vibrational beings than you are verbal beings. You are communicating with everyone far more on a vibrational basis, than you are on a verbal basis. / Abraham-Hicks 1999 When We look around and see the terror and the upset and the rage and give our attention to what we don’t want more than how we truly wish to see the world.. well it just never ends… In my travels.. I did not see fanatics.. more normal people.. lots and lots of normal people who want what we want..

Do you know the relationship that you are all looking for? Do you know what it really is? You want the relationship between you and you. And when you meet a person who looks fondly at you, or who is appreciative of you, or someone you look fondly upon, or someone you appreciate, it just hooks you up to your Inner Being, which is what you want all along. So the relationship you are all looking for is the relationship between you and you. And everything else is just helpful in that, really. Don’t you find that interesting? That what you really want is a reason to vibrationally connect with who you really are. And so, you ask so much of people because you say to them, “You need to be the one who causes me to feel good.” And what we want to say to all of you is: If any of you are without the relationship of your dreams right now, that’s a wonderful thing. Because now you have an opportunity to work on the relationship that really matters first and foremost. And then, in that connection, the relationship of your dreams will come. But you are going to discover the relationship of your dreams is really your own Inner Being. It’s that infusion of clarity and confidence and wellness, that’s what you are reaching for. And it is nice to have a human friend who holds you as their object of attention and adores you right into your connection. But we want you experience greater independence than that. We want you to say to you lovers, “I love you, but I don’t live for you. Because Source Energy flows through me. You are a catalyst to my wellbeing, but you are not essential to my wellbeing. Because I’ve got that figured out on my own. I have reached for thoughts that give me relief. And I have relieved myself all the way into my full connection of who I really am. And now we can just dance and play together.” Can you feel how you take them off the hook? In other words, do you know how many men would flock to you.? (ALL OF THEM!) .if they knew that you would allow them to be as they are and you would not hold them responsible for your happiness. That’s what everyone wants. How much bondage is there in believing that your happiness depends on me, so I’ve got to figure out what you want, and stand on my head in all those different ways, and it’s not even possible! The greatest gift you can give anyone is to be happy. And we will take that further. The greatest gift you can give to any partner, past, present or future is to be so connected with who you truly are that they are irrelevant to your connection. And when they are irrelevant to your connection, then you are going to have a really good time together / Abraham-Hicks..1999 Well now.. thats alot to think about.. smile..

PLEASE VIEW LARGE Past Present or Future… The Greatest Gift you Can Give Is your Own Happiness / When you are in a state of joy or appreciation you are connected to the Stream of Source Energy that is truly who-you-are—and anything or anyone that you are holding as your object of attention benefits from your attention. / Abraham-Hicks 2004 So it is.. as you let go of the past mistakes/fears/losses and focus on what you truly desire in your life.. they fade and are replaced with the EVER PRESENT EXCITEMENT OF THE ETERNAL NOW..Just around the corner is your DREAMS COMING TRUE!!

Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet; these lines from one of her poems are a perfect companion to the robin photo I took this morning on my patio.

I guess it doesn´t make much sense to talk about how some words keep floating in our minds for some time, and the need to create something in order to, somehow, get rid of them or, at least, to live in peace with them. It doesn´t make much sense, I know, not here. / The day I read One tear by Linaji I knew I´d have a hard time with the expression “private tear”. This is all I could do to compensate those feelings.

sometimes we just do not choose to stop thinking thoughts that cause us deep pain and saddness. I know this to be true. One day after much help from the desire that was great in my heart to be relieved of such painful choices, I finally saw the light after many years of searching for my truth. / When I came to understand that my own choice of thoughts made me feel either good or bad I began to be conscious of my thinking and started to take full responsibility for my thoughts. What freedom I have discovered in taking responsibility for my happiness. I do not have to depend on people places or things to make a choice of a thought that feels a little better or a little worse or continue to think exactly what is causing my own pain. It is a daily practice and I am not perfect at it. Infact I can go for a few days with thoughts that are quite painful. But you know.. it beats years of it!! / Years to months to days to weeks to hours to minutes to NOW.. / I am shooting for IMMEDIATE GRATIFACATION.. TEE HEE…

Returning Light
by SpravenThe leafs begin to leave the trees,
In becoming the person we want to be sometimes we leave behind the things thought weak. This man decides he is not deserving of the light, and walk through all, he thought he lost or killed the light and beg for it’s return but he believed he was undeserving of this anyway….but winds and leaves surround him and him a journey to his light, how will he react? Hope yous like this peace… ; )

This painting is the piece of the series of Memory ; / The Past And Forever / Love Is All / Another Time, Another Word / Always And Forever / Sisters / Sunset In Paradise / Oil on canvas 90cmX 120cm. / This for you Terezkem , my lovely daughter , she died when she was nearly 15 …… Thank you my friends your comments and support mean a lot to me. I had this pain bottled up in me so so long… but I knew and hoped with time passing things will change and turn out good… I was right, things started to unfold last week and I could just see and feel it. Working with this wonderful model just inspired me and brought all those feelings up from my heart, bones and my most inner part. I loved every minutes of it and it gave me a wonderful peace of mind. A big thank you for ANAISNAIS who let to share her beautiful poem here: / ””OH MY… / Oh my pretty lady / what depths do you bide? / Seductive’s your body, / your head held with pride / Your bountiful form / shows your bosoms desire / and naked you hide still / your depths so on fire / As eyes do move loser / with interest to seek, / through misty white clouds / two arms they do peek. / Yet they’re not of your own / for yours fall at your side, / and these wrapped around you / near the nest you do hide. / Your face shows eyes longing / a deeply set love, / and mouth blushed, unmoving, / rose cheeks just above. / On your mossy green bed, / through this picture I see, / you are settled in love / with someone that’s not me. / Yet things are not right, / I can see by the flowers / for their heads are a drooping, / like they’ve cried tears for hours. / Oh my pretty lady, / your body’s your own / You can still say no. / Life it can change / and minds petals still grow.’‘ / All Origional art work can be purchased through the artist. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- Copyright notice: / All rights reserved.

We see you as we see a face / That trembles in a forest place / Upon the mirror of a pool / Forever quiet, clear and cool; / And in the wayward glass, appears / To hover between smiles and tears, / Elfin and human, airy and true, / And backed by the reflected blue...Katharine by / R.L.Stevenson When this painting was finished, I could not help but think of Stevenson’s “Katharine” and her “elfin” face…this delicate “quiet and cool” beauty seems to “mirror” his “trembling face, hovering between smiles and tears”..

As in Bathsheba Everdene, from Thomas Hardy’s “Far from the Madding Crowd”...within a short time of arriving at her aunt’s house, Bathsheba has the neighbouring young men at her feet…independent, beautiful and intelligent, she rises quickly when she inherits her uncle’s farm, then shocks everyone by deciding to manage it herself…..her three suitors are each determined to marry her.. / “The book (which I have read a zillion times), has been described as an early piece of feminist literature, since it features an independent woman with the courage to defy convention by running a farm herself. Although Bathsheba’s passionate nature leads her into serious errors of judgment, Hardy endows her with sufficient resilience, intelligence, and good luck to overcome her youthful folly”.wiki Watercolour on Arches Not Paper / Katharine / Sylvia / The Riddle / Illusion / The Wish / Virtue / The Party / The Beauty / The Star / The Night / The Temptation / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage

When exactly nine years had passed since this gracious being appeared to me, as I have described, it happened that on the last day of this intervening period this marvel appeared before me again, dressed in purest white, walking between two other women of distinguished bearing, both older than herself. As they walked down the street she turned her eyes toward me where I stood in fear and trembling, and with her ineffable courtesy, which is now rewarded in eternal life, she greeted me; and such was the virtue of her greeting that I seemed to experience the height of bliss. It was exactly the ninth hour of day when she gave me her sweet greeting. As this was the first time she had ever spoken to me, I was filled with such joy that, my senses reeling, I had to withdraw from the sight of others. So I returned to the loneliness of my room and began to think about this gracious person. Dante (La Vita Nuova III) Dante first met Beatrice when he was nine and she was a year younger…he was entranced with her, but they did not meet again until nine years later..he went home and wrote what is considered to be one of the worlds greatest romantic poems, “La Vita Nuova”... many painters have recorded their meeting on the bridge…however there is only one (presumed) portrait of her…I discovered it after I painted this and there is no resemblance.. / Dante thought her angelic…I hope you think the same of my Beatrice...

(please listen to the music as it adds to the viewing experience) Again, conflicts press heavily upon me. / I ask if what I do be right? / I weigh the thoughts inside of of me, / Longing to answer my cries with insight. Changes have come so quickly; / I am not as I was before. / Yet through these I still ponder, / Have I come to another door? Will someone not listen? / Will someone not hear? / I ask for understanding / Yet am confronted with fear! I am not alone, / But does anyone see / These unanswered questions / That now trouble me?
