roaring stillness

When did "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" become replaced with "fear, failure, and the pursuit of greed" in the general voice of the USA peoples' elected leaders?

Perhaps, this karmic irony has always existed here from the onset of pushing indigenous peoples around and down like a big bully with a death flu blanket and the need to build a clad iron track through the great open plains which happened to only sustain their existence..?

Who is in charge of writing US history or BIG medias' slant anyway?

Why do we not know who wants to form our opinions as "facts" through repetitive processing?

One may trust that it is those who are pushing us to consume more forms of their money making schemes...and let me suggest as many have before me, there is a much better experiment instead of this current financial ploy depicting saturated debris & debt.

Is it not the time to find a mentor who is pure of heart to teach how to perform a life sustaining task so one may then teach another how to sustain life without such great needs of dependency on modernized capitalistic plastics..?

There is a cloud of cosmic minerals where such a wave forms its vortex-spiral laced with sea foam...every single stance spilling forth from my lips is inadequate to describe how this photo serves as a truth potion...one awakening the tube riding sultan's inward flight.

spring equinox - biodynamics

In the food we eat there are cosmic forces at work. Biodynamics growing harvests these forces for optimum nutrition. The symbolic drawing of infinity or the 8 on its side (literally) demonstrates the inverse relationship between macrocosm and microcosm. The lemniscate brings the polar realms of the natural and the supernatural into vital circulation.

Hummingbird Symbology

The Hummingbird is another symbol of regeneration or resurrection. Hummingbird is the creature that opens the heart. When the hurt that caused us to close our hearts gets a chance to heal, our hearts are free to open again. With hummingbird consciousness, we learn the truth of beauty. Our life becomes a wonderland of delights in flowers, aromas and tastes. We laugh and enjoy creation, we appreciate the magic of the present moment, and the magic of being alive.

Hummingbird, the tiniest of all birds, is the only creature that can stop dead while traveling at full speed. It can hover, or can go forward, backward, up or down. It lives on nectar and searches for the sweetness of life. Its long tongue lets it bypass the often tough and bitter outer layer to find the hidden treasures underneath. Hummingbird is loved by the flowers and plants, for as it sucks the nectar from the flower, the plant reproduces and more of its kind are created. In many traditions, Hummingbird feathers have been prized for their almost magical qualities. It is said that Hummingbird brings love as no other medicine can, and its presence brings joy to the observer.

If you have Hummingbird medicine, you adapt easily to whatever situation you may find yourself in, and make the most of your new circumstances. You don't waste time looking back and wishing for "what was" for you are concerned with making the most of "what is". Also, you could never become addicted to any artificial stimulants, for you find joy in your own heart. You take great pleasure in spreading joy and love and beauty to all around you, and have the gift of taking that inner joy into new and different surroundings. You have a talent for finding the good in people, and are not put off by a gruff or abrupt exterior, for you know that, if you can only get beyond that tough outside layer, you'll find goodness and beauty inside. You may have a gift for working with flowers, maybe growing them to share with others, or using flower essences for healing. Aroma therapy may be your calling. You have high energy and a spirit that must be free. To restrict that wonderful, free, loving energy is to suffer great depressions and feelings of uselessness. Hummingbird must fly free in search of beauty, spreading joy and love to all it touches. It is about independence and courage.

67 THE MIDDLE WAY The chun takes care to maintain the golden mean, Don’t add to it, resist it, or fawn to it either — Stay with truth, standing awake, putting others first — You need consciousness and grounding to shine as you are. Written by a monk honoring Kuan Yin's mercy and wisdom
