I see trees of green, red roses too-
I see ’em bloom, for me and for you-
And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.-
I see skies of blue, clouds of white-
Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights.-
And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.-
The colors of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky-
Are also on the faces of people going by-
I see friends shaking hands, saying, 'How do you do'-
They’re really saying 'I love you!'

NAMASTE
About me:
"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin"......i love. i laugh. i cry. i hope. i dream. i believe. i listen. i talk. i sing. i write. i hurt. i cuddle. i dance. i struggle. i play. i'm looking for real, raw, truth in this wild ride we call life. music is my everything! Music's the medicine of the mind and Love will always prevail! "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
I honor the place in you-
in which the entire Universe dwells-
I honor the place in you-
which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace-
When you are in that place in you-
and I am in that place in me-
we are One.
..
Spiritual and calm, you tend to live a quiet but enriching life.
You are very giving of yourself. And it's hard for you to let go of relationships.
The purpose of your life: showing love to other people
Famous blues include: Angelina Jolie, the Dali Lama, Oprah

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

Who I'd like to meet: You're a perfect soul...
Be who you are nothing more nothing less-
and let the beauty that you love be the very best-
Sing praises to the highest with your feet on the ground-
And reach for your brother with the words that you sound and
Don't let mistakes be so monumental- and
Don't let your love be so confidential- and
Don’t let your mind be so darn judgmental-
And please let your heart be more influential-
Be thankful for all the Spirit provides-
And be thankful for all that you can see without eyes-
Give thanks to music that keeps us alive!
It’s amazing to uncover that you can spend an entire lifetime and never know yourself at all, but rather only know a perception of yourself. A projected self image (ego) which virtually has nothing to do with who and what you are. Likewise people pass in and out of our lives every day. We talk to them, we eat lunch with them, we go to work with them and most of what we know and think about them are merely thoughts and perceptions. “They are like that”, “she is this way,” “He’s a republican,” “She’s a liberal.” Label after label, we cast them upon those around us and remain blind to the very people before our eyes. In turn, almost everyone else is also walking around with perceptions of themselves and with perceptions about you and I, that are nothing more than fiction. It’s like we’re all in virtual bumper cars bouncing off each other without ever truly making contact. The endless stream of labels and perceptions we cast upon each other, perpetually keeps us immersed in a world of delusion in regards to our relationship with the universe around us and to the common bond we all share.
The next time you find yourself at odds with somebody, try and squelch the little label maker in your mind and just see the person as they are. In silence we can uncover: that the differences just don't exist. They were never really there to begin with. Our thoughts and perceptions are made of nothing. They have no substance at all other than the life we breathe into them. If you look long enough at those around you and let the labels fall away back into the nothingness from which they came, eventually you may find yourself here in this moment, looking straight back upon yourself through their eyes.
As we learn to listen and watch without labeling one another, our common thread shines through and through. Sending you love and wishing you a beautiful weekend. ~R~
Thanks lovebug!! I miss you sooooo much too :( I still have my lovebug on my keychain<3

If you are reading this - You can experience true inner peace. Right now
In this very moment There is no-thing required of you No “where” you have to go No “tomorrow” to worry about And no bills to be paid right now
In this space there is Nothing you need to do Other than to be who you are Right now Doing what you do Exactly as you do it
By my account, what we consider “time” is made up of an infinite amount of these moments and they are forever present for us to take notice. Within each of these moments we are always connected and collectively experiencing life as one. Wishing you a beautiful weekend! ~R~
It was SO great to see you last weekend! Are you going to be there on Saturday, too??? That would be so AMAZING! You look beautiful as usual - I really hope I see you soon! LOVE!!!!!! juniper
