Man domesticated the wolf and created the dog. Since then, they have been loyal and faithful and would die to defend us. I will never understand how anyone could chain or pen an animal that is so loyal and loving. Please... if owning a dog to you means keeping him/her outdoors chained or penned, don't own one. Dogs are social animals even in the wild... they need social interaction. Chaining or penning them outside alone is cruel. They deserve better and remember, they would die to defend your life.
As you walk the path of uncertainty, I will hold your hand
The steps you take are steps of faith as you walk across the land
In your hour of darkest need, be the light you seek
For as I kneel and pray for you, I will hold your hand
Trying times are bound to come and test your will of strength
See the light that you emit and know it’s full of grace
Be the one your heart desires so you can help all man
Fear not, don’t shy away, for I will hold your hand
Lean on me in times of good as well as time of fear
Open your heart and your mind so you can clearly hear
The call for grace and gratitude for all that you create
Rejoice in life and know that I will always hold your hand
The Truth and The Light walk together... those who seek the truth.. find The Light ~Militza Segura-Landrau~
Many Paths
There are many paths to God. Yours is no more correct or less correct than another's my friend. In fact, each one's path may just be the right one for that certain individual. God knows what He is doing. Do you doubt that?
Only when one truly comprehends and lives by this statement, can Love break free from the shackles of judgment thus allowing one to finally experience the Stillness, the wonderful feeling of inner peace, harmony, and oneness admist the same storms that used to "make" one feel the spectrum of negative emotions such as fear, hate, anger, anxiety, and the pain, suffering, and angst of that monster illusion called Seperation.
~Lynn Mary~
"How does one become a butterfly?" she asked. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar." ~Tina Paulus~
Steve Irwin 1962-2006 On September 4, 2006 the world lost one of the most dedicated wildlife conservationist to ever capture our hearts with his enthusiasm. May you rest in peace friend. Thank You for your contribution. You will be missed.
If I may, I will make an observation regarding prayer as it takes many forms. It is the energy that goes with it that determines its effectiveness. The most potent ones are those that express sincere gratitude for what you have received. Again, the energy is returned to you many times over, in accordance with the Law of Attraction. ~Unknown~
If the only prayer you ever said was "Thank You", that would be enough. ~Meister Eckhart ~
HUMAN ANGELS
Was there always just the two of us? Do you remember just before taking form? When we decided, to run the gauntlet of terror and pain apart? Thus began the hard knock life for us, Born unprepared; For some, suffering becomes their badge, For the others, self-respect and honour became our flags. It is hoped that on such a journey, we would come face to face with the One, Who would walk us through the many dark nights of the body and soul. Hidden from us notwithstanding, the presence of the Other was still; A soothing balm to our cuts and bruises The angels warned us before we left. They cried out in horror and came up with a myriad of reasons as to why not; ‘Don’t do this’, ‘wait a millennia’, ‘rebuild your torn minds’, ‘Rewrite your DNA!’, ‘Haven’t you suffered enough?’. They begged us to listen, citing all the times when we had come Home; Our hearts shattered and our eyes filled with horror at what we had felt and seen. But not all raised their voices in a clamour. There were those who remained silent. These had faced Culmination with the same stoic determination. And they would say nothing to detract us from our course. And like Monkey, we were irrepressible. We reassured our angelic counterparts, We calmed their fluttering hearts, And then we reminded them of who we were. ‘You’ll forget’, they cried out as we drifted to the Staging Area. ‘You won’t know who you are when you arrive on that third rock from the Sun’. ‘Never’, the masculine of God called back to them, ‘I’ll be drawing my wings on the form that I’ll be renting’. ‘Just so you can recognise me’, he whispered tenderly to his feminine half. She winked suggestively at him and then their journey began. ________________________________ Kessie A. Amponsah Copyright, 2006 All Rights Reserved.
If you were a dog, how would you prefer to live?
LOVE YOUR DOG
His eyes look at you longing to be seen His heart waits for you to notice his screams He observes the birds so free; they can fly But all he can do is sit there and cry
He remembers the day you brought him home Finally a family to love all his own He jumped and ran and licked your face He was home as last... his very own place
The days went by and he got in the way He doesn't understand what happened these days Did he do something wrong? Did he become a pain? He lies in wonder of why he's tied to a chain
He would rather be free and given the chance To be given the love that should be granted He wants so bad to be in your home A part of the family and a yard all his own
A nice warm bed to sleep in at night When all of the family is tucked in nice and tight God's gift to you is slowly dying inside His heart growing lonely as he's left chained out of sight.
"Maturity means regaining the sense of seriousness we had as children at play." ~ Friedrich Nietsche ~
Sure... help yourself.
You are not "One of Many." You are really Many of One.
To all my fur babies that have gone home to wait for me patiently... I await the day that I can hug you and lick your face again. Sandy Lynn Brandy Bijou & Roscoe
Be proud to know as much as you do about life, dreams and reality. Bask, It was a long climb up the stairway of enlightenment, and many a battle over false beliefs and mass consciousness have been won. You don't have to shout from your roof to live your truth every second of every day, but don't shy away from the ignorant; they need you. Nor be intimidated by the truly wise; they love you. And please don't ever let self-consciousness keep you from stepping out into a world that would be unimaginably incomplete without you. ~ The Universe~
Your Birthdate: August 11
Spiritual and thoughtful, you tend to take a step back from the world. You're very sensitive to what's going on around you, yet you remain calm. Although you are brilliant, it may take you a while to find your niche. Your creativity is supreme, but it sometimes makes it hard for you to get things done.
Happy, honest, easy going, an animal lover and spiritual seeker. I love animals and nature. I enjoy meeting new people and I try to see the good in everyone I meet.
My quest in this life is to gain as much spiritual knowledge and experience as I can exploring Life's Journey. I hope to meet many along this beautiful journey. I also hope to gain some insight into our true being. Love, Light & Laughter.
~ God Bless ~
