One of the rarest and most visually stunning rose colors is lavender. The eye-catching shades of light purple have made the lavender rose a wildly popular alternative for romantic occasions, as well as an everyday favorite for all who enjoy its distinctive appearance. Few other flowers can match the beauty of these fascinating roses.
Lavender roses have had a captivating allure throughout their long history.
There are several lavender rose varieties in cultivation, ranging from the Old Garden varieties to more modern rose hybrids. Lavender rose species include miniature rose bushes as well as larger single bloom flowers. It is the longer stemmed variation that has become the most popular for floral arrangements, and which often carries the most symbolic significance.
As with other roses, lavender roses have their own special meanings which have evolved over the years of their existence. The lavender rose is often a sign of enchantment and love at first sight. Those who have been enraptured by feelings of love and adoration have used lavender roses to express their romantic feelings and intentions. The color purple also has a traditional association with royalty. In this regard, shades of lavender roses can suggest an air of regal majesty and splendor.
Lavender roses also share some of the symbolism of the fabled blue rose. Because blue roses do not occur naturally, they have come to represent the mysterious and unattainable. The goal of discovering the first blue rose has ignited many imaginations. While the quest for truly blue roses continues, many of the meanings associated with them have become tied to its nearest existing relative, the lavender rose. Thus, lavender roses can also represent wonder and impossibility, with a sense of the magical.
As a way to express our most sincere love and appreciation, the appeal of the lavender rose is undeniable.

Thanks for the hummingbird pics and info of their significance. I just bought a hummingbird stepping stone for my garden because I love watching them flitter around my garden. I am up to something that for most would seem impossible too. So when I look at my stone or the little birdies in my garden I will be reminded of how going after the impossible is awesome and I will let my heart be filled with joy!
Big meeting tomorrow, prayers and good energy welcomed.
You ladies are great and after a long day of work, I get so much peace just clicking on a thread.
Love and light to all!!
The hummingbird (everywhere in my life now) is a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible. Find the miracle of joyful living, moment to moment, breath to breath.

Beauty of dreaming...
& same thing with Gabriel Byrne, as Paul Weston, on "In Treatment."
Before Barbara Walters' recent indiscretion was revealed, she was quoted on "The View," saying:
"If there is a man out there who really is like Paul Weston in on 'In Treatment,' please call me. "
Smile. That Goddess has been around from some time now.

Something about this man, his character in "The Painted Veil," that is a vision of bliss. Smile.

Rumi's poems elegantly and consistently touch our inner being and inspire us to go beyond our limitations towards the Divine.
The music: The credits do appear at the end of this video, but it is by the composer, Eleni Karaindrou, and is the theme music called "Eternity and a Day" from the movie, Aggelopoulos.
A note on the music: This entire video was constructed in silence-only the poem and the images were put together without my knowing what music would be the right one. The music is so important to the interpretation of these poems. Rather than reading them, the music is my voice. When I 'laid' this beautiful piece of music over the video it fit perfectly. Few edits were made to accomodate the images to fit the music. They seem to be made for each other.

I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth? ~Edward Giobbi

We see nature and also animals reflect in us. The streams in nature in our veins.
Like human babies and nice kittens so wonderful and small. To play with to hug and puppies the same. So warm also.
I honor you Ana also your whole being with also your body and the body of that goddess.
And more about women and men. We are spreading also the deeper and wider L+F relationship from the new ERA that we are spreading against children abuse, women trade, prostitution and other drawing tears situations.
And from that relationship we know already for sure, that feelings of men and women are the same. We are androgynous, some people will say.
Like a woman has a man in her and a man has a woman in him.
And I think then when a guy went a wrong route. With the gypsy group from also me, maybe with 24 grown ups. Then a kind of role play started. Look there they go...
Suddenly there were a few old gypsy woman.
1. The first woman standing right before his nose. Fire spiting our of her eyes. And silent
2. the second women stood after the first man. And somewhat aside. And she spoke some words very slowly. I have really experienced this and know it as the day of yesterday.
3. behind her and but more aside stood a third old gypsy woman. She looked also with fire in her eyes.
And who can we thing that this guy could escape. No, he had to obey. Like the old gypsy woman were his Gods. No tensions we could have in our group. No one was to miss.
Just ronald, messenger
Ron:
Truly, I don't know what happened....I read you post AND LOVED IT. Am still learning this HOST thing.

Much love, Ani
I have also posted here a message
But no more to see it. May I now leave this group and not belonging to the whole. I don't accept removals from my messages.

Once upon a time
a beautiful princess
hair golden
body moulden
eyes on fire
soul desire
looks longingly
over seas blue
Awakening now she is
her beauty issues forth
gentle, serene
a queen
in waiting
comtemplating
a prince's yearnings
to be king
King and Queen of Love
together at last
love flowing
all aglowing
beautiful union
holy communion
Rapunzel is down
from her tower

color to a scent… a piece of music playing in the background. It
can be just having the presences to appreciate your senses. What do
you notice? Next time you feel "stress" overtaking your presence, breathe and take a few moments to indulge your senses.
You will feel refreshed immediately, and whatever may have been
troubling you will no more.
