Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.  A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world.  ~Ada Louise Huxtable

~~Sea Joy~~

 SEA JOY, a poem written by Jacqueline BOUVIER when she was 10 years old. The drawings around the border are also by her, the final line is "oh-to live by the sea is my only wish"When I go down by the sandy shoreI can think of nothing I want moreThan to live by the booming blue seaAs the seagulls flutter round about meI can run about when the tide is outWith the wind and the sand and the sea all aboutAnd the seagulls are swirling and diving for fish.Oh – to live by the sea is my only wish.

I'm all about walking barefoot in the sand~~

 

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~~~~Kahlil Gibran~~~

 

I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.~Nadine Stair

 

 “The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.”  ~Budda

 

"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads."  ~Henry David Thoreau

Don't impose on me what you know, I want to explore the unknown. And be the source of my own discoveries. Let the known be my liberation, not my slavery.

The world of your truth can be my limitation; Your wisdom my negation. Don't instruct me; let's walk together. Let my richness begin where yours ends.

Show me so that I can stand on your shoulders. Reveal yourself so that I can be something different.

You believe that every human being can love and create. I understand, then, your fear when I ask you to live according to your wisdom.

You will not come to know who I am by listening to yourself. Don't instruct me; let me be. Your failure is that I be identical to you'

Umberto Maturana

~~the student's prayer Umberto Maturana

 

Man gets tired, spirit don’t
Man surrenders, spirit won’t
Man crawls, spirit flies
Spirit lives when man dies

Man seems, spirit is
Man dreams, the spirit lives
Man is tethered, spirit is free
What spirit is, man can be.

Dedicated to anyone missing their dad today....Happy Father's dad and my father-in-law Pete. I know you are keeping each other amused and right about now are  having a celebratory toast...  

 

The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.The music stops, yet echoes on in sweet, soulful refrains.For every joy that passes,something beautiful remains." Author Unknown

 

 

A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun rising makes the world active, so does Self-awareness effect changes in the mind. In the light of calm, steady Self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj ~

 

 A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows."

- St. Francis of Assisi

 

Each of my days are miracles. I won't waste my day; I won't throw away miracle.                                             

 

To love someone is to always see them as the miracle that they are; as the miracle that they exist, in your eyes and through the way in which you look at them, the limitless beauty of their true miraculous selves: "i believe in miracles because i believe in you.~~~ Philip Jason

Let us dance in our summer state of mind!!! 

Fireflys dance in the evening sky, the hoops and hollers of kids in the next yard having one last game before bed… soft morning light brushing against climbing roses and the sweet sound of birds filling the air…
