Spring

Behold, my friends, the spring is come;

the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun,

and we shall soon see the results of their love!

There is something about Valentine's Day that evokes a great deal of emotion; it can be of course a very romantic, loving, kind and thoughtful day. It can prompt a sense of longing, isolation, regret even bitterness. It is a wonderful time of year when you have the pleasure of being on the receiving end of a valentine. It can also be a sad time for someone who would rather skip past the whole notion of it,  especially if any element of dissapointment would interfere with it's sweet, soft and simple nature.

It goes like that with any landmark day... ignore them, look upon some of them with dread or get into them... certain days on the calender mark particular times of our lives and help us to remember for better or for worse.

We hope for the better. ♥

"We are one species.

We are star stuff harvesting star light"

~ Carl Sagan

American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, writer, Pulitzer Prize winner for non-fiction & What Jack Hanna and Steve Irwin are to the animal kingdom and Yo-Yo Ma is to the chello and classical music... Carl Sagan is to astronomy and science. (9.9.34 - 12.20.96) 

"I went to the librarian and asked for a book about stars ... And the answer was stunning. It was that the Sun was a star but really close. The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light ... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me"

 ~ Carl Sagan

One more thing, that for whatever reason, this blogger feels compelled to share is something to consider, also something Dr Sagan said, it goes like this;

"Those worlds in space are as countless as all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the earth.

Each of those worlds is as real as ours and every one of them is a succession of incidents, events, occurrences which influence its future. Countless worlds, numberless moments, an immensity of space and time. And our small planet at this moment, here we face a critical branch point in history: what we do with our world, right now, will propagate down through the centuries and powerfully affect the destiny of our descendants. It is well within our power to destroy our civilization and perhaps our species as well."

~ Carl Sagan

Due Date

The anticipation grows as the hospital nears completion. It is kind of like everyone eagerly awaiting the arrival of a brand new baby. The waiting and wondering about how everything will be, will the child be healthy and happy, have all it's senses, fingers and toes, curly hair or any hair? Will it look like this person or that one? Will the newborn that is almost ready for delivery- continue to evolve into the best it can be? 

"God Bless The Child" and pray this miracle will always be safe, properly cared for, loved and respected, in turn, treats all people with kindness and is a blessing constantly striving to be good and on the ready for whatever life has in store, and is able to stand tall with strength, courage, confidence and knowledge far into the future. ~

RIP MLK

To The Great Thinkers of this world we share, the courageous, the bold and daring one's who went beyond and will go farther than they can even imagine. To the healers and helpers, the peacemakers and dreamers, the one's who make life livable.

2012

With a new year, a brand new set of experiences beckon, opportunities to discover new and improved ways of approaching life. Armed with renewed strength and courage, a fresh new attitude and spirit emerges, daring to move forward with noble intentions toward enhancing the quality of our own life and the lives of others, in small or large measure, quietly or on a colossal scale. We hope for better days and good nights, for a place in the world where we are safe and warm, cared for and loved. We long for peace, contentment and health.                   

~            

May the coming days, weeks and months ahead bring good changes and growth. May lessons be learned softly and may we be granted the ability to make life more livable for those we can help. Peace and love to those who have blessed and supported us in the past, bless us presently and will be a blessing to us in the future.
