“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” Confucius

A baby cardinal in the nest is a sight to behold. It makes me think of the Psalmist who wrote, “Out of the mouths of babes, you have fashioned praise.” (Ps 8:3) There’s something about a baby that just brings joy and love to the forefront, joy and love that spring from the Almighty!
One of the most memorable books I’ve ever read is Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s little volume, Gift from the Sea. In that classic, she wrote, “One never knows what chance treasures these easy unconscious rollers may toss up on the smooth white sand of the conscious mind; what perfectly rounded stone, what rare shell from the ocean floor . . . But it must not be sought for or, heaven forbid, dug for. No, no dredging of the sea bottom here. That would defeat one’s purpose. The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach-waiting for a gift from the sea.” Periodically, throughout her life, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh, went to Sanibel Island off the Gulf coast of Florida, to rediscover “singleness of eye, purity of intention, [her] central core.” Always in the public eye, especially during the dreadful times when their child was kidnapped and later found murdered, this wise woman knew that everyone needs time alone, time to reflect, time to get in touch once again with the purpose of one’s existence. Her book is a timeless volume which, even more so today than when she wrote it in the 1950s, calls us to slow down and reconnect with our Source. If you’ve never read Lindbergh’s book, I strongly recommend it. It’s filled with wisdom. And may God’s great ocean of mercy reward you today with many unexpected and beautiful treasures, gifts from his boundless sea of love.
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” -Oscar Wilde
There is an ancient Chinese saying that goes like this: If there is light in the soul, / There will be beauty in the person. / If there is beauty in the person, / There will be harmony in the house. / If there is harmony in the house, / There will be order in the nation. / If there is order in the nation, / There will be peace in the world. / —Chinese Proverb You can view and buy my other “Light In The Soul” creations from my Zazzle Gallery:

Web spun from tangled silk of lies / Woven from truth held in disguise / Where trust ensnared, betrayed it dies / No greater thing do I despise / / Web better built from silk of gold / Woven from truth all can behold / Where trust is free, instead of sold / No greater thing when truth is told / / So earn my trust, earn my respect / Tell me not truths that are suspect / For if false truth I do detect / Then trust from you I can’t expect / / This fractal artwork was inspired by an old quotation from Sir Walter Scott about lying that went ‘Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive’. My biggest pet peave are liars, and always has been. The artwork depicts how a lie can go on to exponentially effect the lives of others to whom the lie is passed. / / The greatest example currently is the war in Iraq, which was started from a lie to the American public by it’s leader that Iraq had stockpiled ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and intended to use them. This one lie has devastated families and ruined economies across the globe. / / The greatest thing I respect in an individual is their ability to be honest, as then I can grant them the trust that all other things in the relationship will bloom from. So always remember this quotation, as well as, another old adage that says ‘The truth shall set you free!’. / / This fractal artwork was created in Apophysis. The original is 6000×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The fractal gradient was created with ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / /

Eyes look down from the heavens & a tree is rooted in the earth. This quotation came to me in my sleep & was running through my mind when I woke up. “Between heaven & earth we forge a sense of place”.
