Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain
slapping the ground?
Ever followed
a butterfly's erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun
fading into the night?
You better slow down,
don't dance so fast,
time is short,
the music won't last.
Do you run through each day
on the fly,
When you ask "How are you?",
do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You better slow down,
don't dance so fast,
time is short,
the music won't last.
Ever told your child,
we'll do it tomorrow,
and in your haste
not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
let a good friendship die,
'cause you never had time
to call and say "hi"?
You better slow down,
don't dance so fast,
time is short,
the music won't last.
When you run so fast
to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun
of getting there.
When you worry and hurry
through your day,
it's like an unopened gift
thrown away.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music
before the song is over.

We move through life surrounded by an unflappable aura
of compassion when we recognize that all human beings,
no matter what state of evolution they are in, are deserving of our love. While we need not support the choices and behaviors of individuals who have not yet reached our level of consciousness, we can support them in their pursuit of growth by sending them light rather than burdening them with the weight of our judgments. This type of altruism ensures that we can foster a sense of sightless charity in our individual environments. All we come into contact with then become beneficiaries of our kindness, and our own hearts will be lightened by the spirit of care suffusing our existence. The love you generously grant others today
will help you promote a culture of compassion
wherever you go.

“None but ourselves can free our minds.”” - Bob Marley -
"We've got this gift of love,
but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it." - John Lennon -
"Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment
and educating people to behave
more in a divine manner." - Carlos Santana -
"There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors."
-Jim Morrison-
"The whole thing is remembering,
this is who we are.
Remember who we are?
We are in reality a group of misfits, crazy people, who have voluntarily come together to work this stuff out and do the best we can and try to be as fair as we possibly can with each other, and just struggle through life." - Jerry Garcia -
Movies
How you view the world
is merely a reflection
of how you see yourself

Surely there is something better to do
than to sit in front of the idiot box!?!

I am a mother of 3 boys & an artist heavily involved
in the studies of the Shamanic Path...
being of service is my present calling and
my involvement with Heartland Ranch allows me
to express my heart's desire to it's fullest potential.
I like open-minded people who
aren't afraid to think outside
of the mainstream box when it
comes to spirituality & life in general.
There are many paths and yet they all lead
to the same destination.
Too many people are entirely too consumed
with pointing out the differences between us
when instead they should be looking
at the similarities...
we smile when we are happy...
we laugh when we find humor...
our hearts hurt when broken...
we all bleed the same color...
we all age...we all die!
There are many paths/religions/philosophies
upon our Mother Earth...
ALL with one similarity in message...
ONE LOVE.
I respect that you walk your path
and please respect that I will walk my own.
But understand that so long as we walk our paths
in Love & Light,
we will still be meeting on the other side...
in the same place.
See you on the other side....
Peace, Love & Unity,
Earthmama
"We shamans come from the stone age. We have no religion. Religion is for those who can no longer see"

seeing the same Lord everywhere, he does not harm himself or others.”

Limit yourself to one serving. This cocktail is strong!
I would like to meet more of the Kindred Spirits...those that live a life of service...
Supporting the people in our life
is a form of service.
Often, we think of service
as helping the community,
an organization, or the planet.
Service is the act of giving of ourselves
in service of others and is significant
whether it happens on a large
or small scale.
We may even neglect the people in our life
in service of a greater cause,
especially if we assume
that they are going to be there for us
no matter what.
Yet our friends and are loved ones
are just as deserving of our service.
In giving them our time, compassion, attention, & support, we serve them
as well as ourselves
because our relationships
can only grow stronger as a result. So be of service to the people
in your life today, and you
will serve the planet as a result.
"In an age of nothing,
at a time when we stand
at the brink of our own destruction -
Strengthen your belief in yourself,
in the future of humanity,
in the things of this world
which cannot easily be perceived.
Awaken that which lies dormant now
within your soul.
Re-ignite the flame of your consciousness
and measure the strength
of your conviction.
Reveal the lie.
Renounce your hatred.
Seek, Find and Embrace the truths
you are fortunate enough to discover.
Cherish them, use them
to anchor you in the sea
of chaos that is the world we live in.
When twilight draws near,
when you are pushed
to the very limits of your soul,
when it seems that all you have left
are the dead remnants
of the fabric of your life - Believe!"
~ quote from the Believe album by Disturbed
I bathe your palms In the showers of wine, In the crook of the kindling, In the seven elements, In the sap of the tree, In the milk of honey,
I place nine pure, choice gifts In your clear beloved face:
The gift of form, The gift of voice, The gift of fortune, The gift of goodness, The gift of eminence, The gift of charity, The gift of integrity, The gift of true nobility, The gift of apt speech.
Eku Odun! We salute the return of the Sun to this day of your Birth....so very, very thankful to share this journey with you....The beauty of Wisdom surrounds you and we profit much by it. Thought I would be in the mountains for the celebration....maybe before the summer is gone...LOVE!
