SPIRITUAL REST

 WHAT IS SPIRITUAL REST?

Blue Here! (yawn)



Hi Shadrach! 

Shad adds, "Spiritual Rest is beyond thinking, an "arrive without traveling" inner light 

vacation, a boost of Pawsitive Intuition and an Invitation to choose perhaps new smoother ways in your life paths." 

"It's Pawsome!"




Blue: "I was writing a story but then I got a 'Paws (Pause) and Effect' feeling. 

I had to find a quiet spot for some spiritual rest.  

Just taking a much-needed break from routines for a 'time-out and reset' of my spirit and enthusiasm."


* Shirley MacLaine says it best! 

"I will hold steadfast to the convictions of my spirit, aware that it knows the path of light."



Sunrise? Sunset?


Music helps to set the stage.  Sometimes you may have a tune in your head or you like frequencies or various kinds of self-therapy, symphonies, white noise, and many more choices.  

                                 Let's Sing, Dance, Whistle, and Yodel.


** "See the sunlight through the pines....

                             Peace of mind is all you know

                                             Aspenglow


See how much there is to give

                             See how strongly you believe

                                                        See [feel] how much you may receive...." John Denver


Even quick five-minute rest periods with eyes closed can help. I have tried it. 

                                                                 Success !

                                          I feel refreshed and can continue. 


                                           SPIRITUAL REST=SPIRITUAL BEST 

 


                            Shad and Blue: "Serving as cosmic allies for those we love,

                                                    Sending you blessings from above."


                              

                                     Furry Friends are Family Members Fur Ever

*THE DAYS ARE JUST PACKED

*THE DAYS ARE JUST PACKED

I love cartoons!  Often cartoons teach me more about myself that I'd like to know!  The title here comes from a volume of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons created by Bill Waterson.  Calvin, a young boy shares, adventures with Hobbes, his tiger toy. Magically the "Tiger" comes alive and the and the pair share adventures "far and wide" when parents are not around.


ZIG ZAG LIGHT BEAMS!  (A. K. A. The kitchen sink!)


I have a small painted tin box here in my hands.  The cover reads:

                 

"RANDOM

                              From Here and There

                                                     To There and Here"


On the box, a young girl holds up a "diorama" brimming with goodies coming out of a container, an angel fish, a painted plate, a golden necklace, an Angel dancing on water.  And more!  There are floating clouds, and calm blue water with Pink Lotus Flowers.



YIN/YANG ROCK


                                             "IT'S ALL RANDOM"


And So it GROWS!   From my "Random Pile, scribbled bits on paper.

                                 

           Electronic Scrapbook:  "I am my Memories"

                                                         

                                                   RHYME WITHOUT REASON

                          "Free Flowing Rain"


                            "Emotions and Unexpressed Thoughts"


"Poetry Abstract Descriptions."

                       "YOU make words/worlds dance off the page."

SIRIUS WRITING

                    "Typing with Words" "Typing with Paint"



HEARTS AND CRAFTS, Imagine and create!


                                                                        TIMELESS "TIMES"


ROY's FIRST LAW: " All flat surfaces will soon fill up with stuff.  This law is a result of Newton's law of Gravity and the second law of Thermodynamics which states that disorder in the universe is always increasing so that all flat surfaces will have things landing on them. 

ROY's SECOND LAW "Is that one person alone cannot pill a cat. Cats will expand to fill the space available."

DAHLIS' LAW "All flat surfaces will soon fill up with cats."


                                      HAVE FUN WITH WORDS

          WRITE ANYTHING, if you can't think of a subject, write "Anything" on a piece of 

                                              paper, or your phone, device.


                                              FLASH FORWARD

To reset brain, take a quick break.  Close Eyes, relax for five minutes, gently open eyes.  Continue on Your Path.

                                       

                    TOGETHER AND ALONE,

                                                ONWARD WE GROW!


               THE WHOLE PICTURE GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS


POINTS TO PONDER:

** "Experiences Don't Just Happen to Us, We Create them with our Magnetic Radiance."


*** "Learn How to Love.  Love is the Ultimate Truth at the 'Heart' of Creation, the                                                   Deepest Knowing of Who You Really Are."

**** "Dream New Dreams!"

+ "Today I Learned More than Ever Before!"
