The Earth
Earth teach me stillness...as the grass are stilled with light.
Earth teach me suffering...as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility...as bloosoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring...as the mother who secures the young.
Earth teach me courage...as the tree which stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation...as the ant which crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom...as the eagle which soars in the sky.
Earth teach me resignation..as the leaves which die in the fall.
Eart teach me regeneration...as the seed which rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself...as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness...as dry fields weep in the rain.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning How Do I Love Thee: "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith."

The Inner Judge and the Victim Child - Toltec Wisdom
The Inner Judge and the Victim Child - Toltec Wisdom: "In the personal dream of almost every human, the inner judge and victim child are in constant dialogue. The judge and victim are the result of the domestication you have been reading about in previous chapters. Here you get to take a closer look at how the judge uses punishment and reward as the director of domestication, and why the victim child dream is alive in the minds of adults. You will learn the collective dream of the victim, and the path to freedom offered by the Toltecs.

An Apprentice Tells Her Story - Toltec Wisdom: "“‘Abusive’ is a very charged word, but I need to accept what happened to me. I was told so many things about me that were not true. They told me no one would ever love me. They said I wasn't worth paying attention to, unless I did everything they wanted. They said the world was a dangerous place, and I should always be afraid of it. I finally understand why I feel so frightened and alone. I know it is not my fault now, and it is not some psychological defect I have to live with."

A Picture of my heart
All my life I was waiting to meet You finally.When I did,I knew it was You I was waiting for.
Now each time when I come here I can hardly breath watching and remembering.When I close
my eyes I can still see You dancing on the meadow.
God speed my Love!
Thank You for dancing...
Walls of my heart
Each and every time when I look at this walls I have feeling that I lost all I had..Was it a fairy tale or just a dream of my own heart..If it was a dream I do not want to be awaken any more.If it was Your fairy tale I want to hear more..
What ever it was it was part of You.I will never ever forget it.
May Your days be blessed with joy and love.
Eternally Yours

Human Rights Defenders | Amnesty International
Human Rights Defenders | Amnesty International: "Human rights defenders confront and address human rights abuses faced by themselves or other people in their countries. But in many places human rights defenders must risk their safety to do so.
Some authorities seek to silence human rights defenders, penalize their activities, and intimidate them. They are labelled as “traitors.” This repression can have dire consequences for human rights defenders and for the work they do changing laws, attitudes and practices to promote human rights for all people. Despite these obstacles, many human rights defenders persevere in seeking positive change."

Marriage Amendment - a judge's tale | StarTribune.com
Marriage Amendment - a judge's tale | StarTribune.com: "But today I am writing about a voice mail from a south Minneapolis woman named Liz. In a quiet voice, she said that neither she nor her partner of 12 years, Jeanne, could ask a Minnesota judge for a deathbed wedding.
Same-sex weddings are barred, and a 2012 ballot measure could amend the Minnesota Constitution to keep such weddings illegal for generations.
Judges usually don't comment in newspapers about legal matters; we have engrained habits of judicial reserve and modesty. I am writing, however, not about the law, but about love, family and understanding.
I think of Elie Wiesel, the author and Holocaust survivor, who wrote, "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference."
I know a little about justice. I've labored in the trenches of justice, as a lawyer or judge, for more than 33 years."

Gay marriage - a Lutheran leader's plea to Catholic bishops | StarTribune.com: "First, I would go to the wall to defend your right to work for the adoption of the so-called marriage protection amendment. Having said that, I must tell you that I believe you are making a significant mistake.
Over my 35 years as an active and retired bishop I have come to know hundreds of gay and lesbian persons. I have yet to meet even one who is opposed to the marriage of one man and one woman. After all, they are the daughters and sons of such unions.
What they cannot understand is why church leaders would oppose their fundamental desire and right to be in partnership with someone they love and respect who happens to be of the same gender and sexual orientation. They don't understand why they should not enjoy all the rights and privileges their straight counterparts take for granted."

Keats:ENDYMION
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon, Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon For simple sheep; and such are daffodils With the green world they live in; and clear rills That for themselves a cooling covert make 'Gainst the hot season; the mid forest brake, Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: And such too is the grandeur of the dooms We have imagined for the mighty dead; All lovely tales that we have heard or read: An endless fountain of immortal drink, Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. Nor do we merely feel these essences For one short hour; no, even as the trees That whisper round a temple become soon Dear as the temple's self, so does the moon, The passion poesy, glories infinite, Haunt us till they become a cheering light Unto our souls, and bound to us so fast, That, whether there be shine, or gloom o'ercast, They alway must be with us, or we die.

Bright Star: Campion's Film About the Life and Love of Keats- Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More: "A portrait of love and loss, Jane Campion's film Bright Star chronicles the tragic love affair between John Keats and his neighbor, Fanny Brawne, throughout the years in which Keats wrote several of the most celebrated poems of the Romantic period. Told from Brawne's perspective on the romance, the film not only reveals the evolution of their young love, but traces Brawne's introduction and immersion into Keats's world of poetry, beginning with apathy and ending with passionate involvement."

Bright Star- Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More: "Bright Star
by John Keats
Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask"

Remove Your Roadblocks to Pleasure | Care2 Healthy Living
Remove Your Roadblocks to Pleasure | Care2 Healthy Living: "3. Fear: I think that this obstacle to pleasure can be very close to shame. I know that for me - I was really frightened that if I truly embraced who I was as a sexual being that I would simply be too big sexually! That no one would be able to handle me or want me. That somehow I would make a spectacle out of myself. I was frightened of my own sexuality. I also get scared of the scale. I worry that if I eat something simply because it will give me pleasure that it will show the next day on the scale – and somehow that will make me a bad person."

Remove Your Roadblocks to Pleasure | Care2 Healthy Living: "2. Shame: Sometimes we have shame around the source of our pleasure. What turns us on or our desires embarrasses us. Some of the scripts around shame can sound like this…”I am too fat to eat that even though it would give me pleasure.” “Who gets turned on sexually by THAT? I must be some kind of a freak!” “I can’t let anyone know that I went shopping and spent money on myself! I will have to hide this shopping bag!” “I am a really bad person for wanting…….”"

Remove Your Roadblocks to Pleasure | Care2 Healthy Living: "The roadblocks to the healing and transformational power of pleasure are really quite common. Some of the favorites are:
1. Guilt: “I don’t deserve pleasure.” “There is too much to do and others have to come first.” “Pleasure can cost money and I really should be spending money on more important things.” “Maybe, if I complete this job, lose the weight, or clean the house – I might think about having what gives me pleasure. But until then – I would just feel too guilty.”"

The Magical Power of Giving Blessings | Care2 Healthy Living
The Magical Power of Giving Blessings | Care2 Healthy Living: "Here is how the “Blessing Meditation” works: Set aside some time; morning is usually best for most people. Sit down comfortably, close your eyes and become aware of your breathing, feel each time there is breathing in and breathing out. Start with the people you know and love, as it is easier to give a blessing to them. Silently say the words, “Blessings to” as you inhale, and as you exhale say the name of someone. Continue for several minutes, extending your blessings to include your family, friends, teachers, employers, employees and even past boy- or girlfriends. You will find that as you say their names their image will appear to you. With consistent practice"

The Magical Power of Giving Blessings | Care2 Healthy Living
The Magical Power of Giving Blessings | Care2 Healthy Living: "No matter how many good deeds you do or the many profound and intelligent thoughts you have or words you may say, what people will remember most about you is how you made them feel. If you really want to be loved by others, it is helpful to learn ways to make others feel good. Learning how to give blessings is a powerful means to transform your world and the world of others. When you say their name and give them a blessing in a sincere, loving way you both fall into love—dissolved into the universal heart, your own true eternal being. Uttering the name of someone gives you tremendous power. Most people can’t help but respond when their name is called. When you daily give blessings to specific people, over time you can transform those people and yourself in into holy beings."

Mali princ-BIĆE SVJETLOSTI
Mali princ je princ pjesnika.
Njegovo je krhko kraljevstvo trajno jer to je kraljevstvo duha,čije su granice nevidljive i beskrajne.Pripadaju mu mnogi ljudi koji se međusobno ne poznaju ali vole malog princa zbog njegovog poštenja,dobrote i jednostavnosti.
Prvi puta sam upoznala malog princa kasnih šezdesetih.Već sam bila čula o njemu,približavao se polako ali s tihom slavom što najavljuje svece i proroke.Nije to bila bučna slava The Beatlesa,nego prije nešto nalik na šapat.
"Jeste li čitali Malog princa?"-pitali smo se ispod glasa,kao zavjerenici.Možda smo osjećali da je njegovo biće dragocjeno i nježno i da ga se ne valja opteretiti razmetljivošću.
Kult o Malom princu stvarao se postupno u tišini.
Autor Malog princa,fran.pisac Antoine de Saint-Exupery rodio se 1900.god. u Lionu.Izgubio je oca kada su mu bile samo četiri godine a sa sedamnaest gubi najmlađeg brata,što ga se bolno dojmilo.S njim i sa sestrama proveo je neobično,skrovito i snovito djetinjstvo o kojem će jednom kasnije napisati:"..Potićem iz djetinjstva kao što netko potjeće iz neke zemlje."
Odano je volio majku;pisma koja joj je uputio činit će poslije njegove smrti posebnu knjigu.U doba kad je Nebo još bilo prilično pusto i kad je letenje značilo neku vrstu romantike ali i opasne pustolovine,Antoine postaje pilotom.Živjelo se tada na starinski način,odnosi među letačima bili su prisniji.Ljudi su istraživali najskrivenije "srce noći".Antoine prvi puta leti davne 1912.godine.Otada je u službi dviju strasti:letenja i pisanja.Prepliču se u njegovu samotničkom životu prirodno poput disanja.Osjetljiv i iznimno nadaren bavio se matematikom i tehničkim izumima.Taj ljubitelj životinja kao da je tražio bajkovit smisao u mrtvim stvarima.Već u njegovim ranijim djelima "Noćni let" 1931. i "Zemlja ljudi" 1939.nazire se Mali princ-biće svjetlosti.
Pronašao ga je u pustinji koju je opisivao kao da je crta vjetrom.
Nikakva korova nema u njegovim djelima.Uboge rečenice što se nadilju od pogrešno probranih i nagomilanih riječi strane su letačkom ukusu.Njegove su rečenice sažete i mudrošću odabrane.Zato su iz knjiga prešle u govor kao narodne poslovice:
"ODRASLI PONAVLJAJU UVIJEK ONO ŠTO IM SE KAŽE"-primjetio je mali princ koji nije ponavljao pitanja nego ih postavljao.
Da,odrasli vide i dive se onome što je viđeno,onome čemu se klanjaju ostali.Odrasli se uglavnom ne usuđuju razlikovati od večine.To je,možda,unosno,ali jednolično,otuđeno od pravih,istinskih,bitnih vrijednosti.
"ISTINA JE OČIMA NEVIDLJIVA:"- poučila je lisica malog princa.
Antoine je posvetio knjigu prijatelju Leonu Werthu,s napomenom;"kada je bio mali dječak".Ta posveta u prvi tren bezazlena i umilna,ima znakovit smisao.Pisac s pravom sumnja u odrasle i želi da knjigu čitaju oni koji još nisu zaboravili da su bili djeca.....
Sve najljepše bajke i začudni romani potkraj tisućlječja,koje nam je izmaklo uz prijetnju neizmjerno dovitljivoga i konačnom licemjerju.Bore se porugom i podsmjehom protiv odrastanja,samo u djetinjstvu nalaze smjelost i čežnju za pustolovinom i promjenom.
Nakon ove,opsegom nevelike knjige,književnost za djecu više nikada neće biti ono što je prije bila.Nastao je jaz što ju je dijelio od književnosti za odrasle.Mali princ je priča u kojoj odrasli PREPOZNAJU a djeca SPOZNAJU.
Na putu prema planetu Zemlji,mali princ susreće vladara koji je svoj sićušni svijet obavio hermelinskim plaštom i besmislom prividne moči."ODRASLI SU VRLO ČUDNI"-primjetio je mali princ.Ta mu se misao sve više potvrđivala u susretima s umišljenikom,pijancem,poslovnim čovjekom...Svi su ti likovi zapravo mehaničke lutke koje često krajnje ozbiljno čine besmislene pokrete i obavljaju besciljne poslove.Iz duhovne pustinje automatskog svijeta mali se princ spušta na Zemlju i stiže u pravu pustinju Saharu.Sve je već bilo spremno za taj čin.
"ZEMLJINA TEŽA UČINILA MI SE SNAŽNA KAO LJUBAV."
"BIO SAM SMRTNIK,IZGUBLJEN IZMEĐU PIJESKA I ZVIJEZDA,SVJESTAN JEDINO DA DIŠEM..."
"MEĐUTIM,OTKRIO SAM DA SAM PUN SNOVA"
Tako se za svoje kultno djelo,objavljeno godinu dana poslije smrti 1943.godine pripremao pisac,obavijen oporim mirisom samoće...U SAHARI,LEŽEĆI NEZAŠTIĆEN IZMEĐU PIJESKA I ZVIJEZDA...
Već se u "Zemlji ljudi"ogao naslutiti krajolik kojim se poslije kreće mali princ.Kao da je sve bilo upisano i pripremljeno za njegov dolazak:i pustinja,i vulkani,i izvori,i ovce,i lisica,čak i zmija.
"Mali princ" počeo je živjeti tajno na Zemlji već u Zemlji Ljudi..Osamljen čovjek u pustinji kojem je prijetila smrt od žeđi,susreće malog princa-biće svjetlosti.U toj jednostavnoj priči kao da je sažeta sva tuga prošloga stoljeća.Razgovor dvaju bića osjetljivih magao je početi.Mnogo godina poslije,kada je Mali princ postao slavan i poznat,rečenice tih razgovora prenosile su se i u druge naizgled privlačnije i dopadljivije melodije.Ali one se usprkos raskoši filma i živosti kazališta,najbolje osjećaju u knjizi.Onako kako su napisane.
"GOVOR JE IZVOR SVIH NESPORAZUMA."-
rekla je lisica princu.Pisac je dobro znao,pa zato njegovi junaci ne troše riječi uzalud.Samo je vrhunski majstor mogao s naizgled malo tkiva izgraditi čvrsto zdanje koje odolijeva prolaznosti.Mora se priznati,i to ohrabruje,da čovječanstvo ipak ima dobar ukus.Jer Mali princ uvijek iznova prijateljuje s novim naraštajima.U naoko jednostavnim razgovorima pilota i malog princa sudjelujemo i mi,čitatelji.Oni govore o onome što je najljepše u nama a što najčešće zatomljujemo i prikrivamo.
Na kraju burniga i okrutnoga stoljeća u maloj knjizi kao da je sažeta sva bitna mudrost,sve ono što odrasli ne žele priznati samima sebi (kao da je odrastanje neprestano ustrajanje u lažima o nama samima).Istine o kojima govori Mali princ one su istine što se priznaju u samoći i tišini,to su poštenje,iskrenost,odgovornost i ljubav bez kojih čovječanstvo nebi moglo opstati.
Vrijeme koje je uložio u svoju ružu učinilo je tu ružu jedinstvenom i dragocjenom.Mali princ joj se želi vratiti usprkos njezinoj hirovitosti.Pripitomio ju je,bio je za NJu odgovoran.Naknadno je shvatio nježnost i čar LJUBAVI kojim ga je nadahnjivala.
"RUŽE SU PUNE PROTURIJEČJA.ALI JA SAM BIO ODVIŠE MLAD DA BIH ZNAO VOLJETI"
povjerio se svome prijatelju u pustinji.
VELIKE LJUBAVI su uvijek blizu smrti.Povratak ruži bit će uvjetovan tjelesnim išćeznućem.Ona koja rješava sve zagonetke (smrt) pritom mu je pomogla.Mali princ odlazi na svoj mali planet.Kraj bajke je dvosmislen i ispunja nas tugom ali i neom smirenom vedrinom.Njegov trag ostati će zauvijek na Zemlji kao SVJETLUCANJE PIJESKA U PUSTINJI.I pisac će slijediti svoga zvjezdanog junaka i doslovno.Nestao je nad Sredozemljem 31.srpnja 1944.
"ONO ŠTO DAJE SMISAO ŽIVOTU,DAJE SMISAO I SMRTI."
""Mali princ" počinje živjeti trajno,smjeh koji je darovao svome odraslome prijatelju kao da i sada odzvanja zvjezdanim prostorima.
"IZGLEDATI ĆE KAO DA SAM UMRO,ALI TO NEĆE BITI ISTINA..."
"BITNO JE OČIMA NEVIDLJIVO,DOBRO SE VIDI SAMO SRCEM"
"...ONO ŠTO PUSTINJU ČINI LIJEPOM JEST SAZNANJE DA SE NEGDJE U NJOJ SKRIVA IZVOR."
"I BAOBABI SU MALI DOK NE NARASTU"
"TAJANSTVENA JE ZEMLJA SUZA"
"NE POSTOJE TRGOVCI PRIJATELJIMA.."
"ČOVJEK MOŽE BITI USAMLJEN I MEĐU LJUDIMA.."
"TREBA PODNIJETI DVIJE TRI GUSJENICE AKO ŽELIŠ UPOZNATI LEPTIRE.."
Posjedovanje jest ljubav i odgovornost prema onome što se voli i vrijeme koje smo posvetili osobi jest zapravo LJUBAV.
LJUDI TREBAJU SPOZNATI ŠTO ZAPRAVO TRAŽE I ŠTO IH ČINI SRETNIMA I ONDA DATI SVE OD SEBE DA TU LJUBAV ZADRŽE.
Tek na Zemlji u pustinji mali princ spoznaje da su ljubav prijateljstvo i rad vrijednosti bez kojih čovjek ne može živjeti.Shvativši da ljubav treba izgrađivati strpljivo,nježno i polako jer je ona dragocjeni i dugotrajni proces uzimnnja od drugoga ali i davanja drugome,mali princ pristaje na smrt koja će ga vratiti njegovoj pravoj i jedinoj ljubavi krhkoj,koketnoj RUŽI na asteroidu B612.
Mali princ je na kraju naučio ljubiti,dati i uzeti ljubav,primiti je bez straha od fuzije,zajedništva i uništenja.
I odgovor za kraj??
Ne vjerujem da se stvarno pisac zabrinuo zbog brnjice za ovcu malog princa,koju je nacrtao bez remena.Jer ja vjerujem da je On znao da je LJUBAV malog princa prema ruži sasvim dovoljna da je štiti od požude agresivne ovce.
Pišćev strah je usmjeren k našim ružama i ovcama s brnjicama i pitanje je zapravo:
HOĆE LI SE NEBO NAD NAŠIM GLAVAMA UMJESTO ZVONKIM SMJEHOM OGLASITI SUZAMA jer će zemaljska ovca pojesti našu ružu?Hoče li se zaista sve promijeniti?
Hoće li LJUBAV nadvladati sva agresivna i uništavajuća stremljena čovjeka i civilizacijw??
Iskreno se nadam da DA.

by Anonymous
To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Grief
Elizabeth Barrett Browning Grief: "I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
That only men incredulous of despair,
Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
Beat upward to God's throne in loud access
Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
Of the absolute Heavens. Deep-hearted man, express
Grief for thy Dead in silence like to death--
Most like a monumental statue set
In everlasting watch and moveless woe
Till itself crumble to the dust beneath.
Touch it; the marble eyelids are not wet:
If it could weep, it could arise and go.

GodLife: Contentment
GodLife: Contentment: "Contentment -- is it elusive? You buy more, achieve more, look better... but does it really give you what you want? Most say it doesn't. We just aren't getting satisfied by consumption. Trying to fill your life with things and accomplishments is like drinking salt water when you are thirsty -- it has the opposite effect. You just get thirstier and thirstier. But Jesus talked about a water that would satisfy your deepest thirst -- forever. But where do you get that water?"

And who can blame them? If the long list of stressors from money, relationships, sickness, and government weren't enough, deep down everyone has a sense that something isn't right, an isolating sense of unrest."
