Silent Stories

Flowers For You

Some of my spring favorites are the tulips and other spring bulbs that push out thoughts of a dreary winter with their scents and colors.These were all taken at the botanical center in Omaha, Nebraska.

This is a different variation of the jack in the pulpits we have around here in our woodlands.

All of my orchids are blooming at my home

 Castor beans are a seasonal favorite I always like to plant.

Happy

Sometimes I see new light or different view

And significant changes in imagery

That allows me to paint you a beautiful picture

With a variety of ideas in my photography

It is the love and spirit offered by nature

That comes to me so easily and sets me free

Making love play a song of peace and harmony.

           

                                       One of the first things in our lives that we find is love. Our parents offer an eternal love, which a new babe succumbs to and prospers into a loving child. We need to orient ourselves to develop that love fuller into loving everything and everyone around us. This is so easy to do, there are no special tools other than what you alone can offer.

               Even if you feel you are doing it your best there is always room to expand. If we all did our extreme potentials, maybe we would see a more rapid digression of the ills in our world during our lifetime. It can’t change overnight, but you can very easily. All you have to do is step forward and try harder. Your outlook on life will increase as well as your wealth of knowledge and spiritual growth.

            We need to look beyond families, and ourselves, looking for increased inner potentials. We need to build our minds, but also the world we live in. There are a number of projects to repair our outdoors that we all enjoy. Even if we each did one project each year, that would be one more for humanity, building into the millions each year. Listen for that song, that song of life, which may even, be a chant from ages past. It calls on all of us with all it’s passion to save and restore natural areas around us before all is lost.

          Look at was once prairie, oceans of grasses and flowers. We built up our lives and forgot about the wealth this land really offered. No gain without pain is often heard. The prairie has suffered a painful past. To set out amongst the beautiful flowers, or be hidden away in the tall grasses, is one of the most delightful experiences one can do to hear that song. Let it tell you about the past and try to imagine what it was like. Many areas that were once eighty- percent prairies are eighty- percent cities, and rarely get above a very small percent even with restorations.

There are still areas to be found to catch a glimpse what these oceans may have looked like. The best way is to hold your hands out with your eyes shut. Breathe in deeply that fresh prairie air and expand the horizons in your thoughts for as far as the eye could see. Listen to the song of the birds and insects. Release all thoughts into the wind and breathe in new ideas and happiness. Share this wealth with all you love through thoughts or prayer. Spread this happiness, it is so nice to share, on a gentle prairie breeze, touching life with love.
