The Veil Is Getting Thin




As I went out walking this fall afternoon,


I heard a wisper wispering.


I heard a wisper wispering,


Upon this fine fall day...





As I went out walking this fall afternoon,


I heard a laugh a'laughing.


I heard a laugh a'laughing,


Upon this fine fall day...





I heard this wisper and I wondered,


I heard this laugh and then I knew.


The time is getting near my friends,


The time that I hold dear my friends,


The veil is getting thin my friends,


And strange things will pass through.

FOUR YEARS OF SATURN
Saturn and its magnificent ring system can offer even casual astronomers the most memorable of telescopic sights. Wandering between Leo and Cancer this month, a bright Saturn is well placed for viewing in evening skies. But from our earthbound perspective, the tilt of Saturn's rings does change with time.

 

Have a beautiful Weekend my friend :)
Nice to Welcome you in my world.
Some kiss from the Stars
PEACE & LOVE

Remember to Be Happy

The sign hangs on the wall of a bagel shop: "Don't forget to be happy." Sometimes we get so bogged down in dealing with feelings, issues, problems --- the realities and details of our lives --- we forget to be happy. Often happiness can be ours if we just remember to be happy. Joy is a choice --- a deliberate, conscious choice. That choice is available to us each day. Our joy isn't controlled by others or by outward circumstances. Joy comes from a deeper place, a place of security within ourselves. It's an attitude, not a transitory emotion.



Remember to be kind. Remember to be loving. Remember to feel all your feelings and to take care of yourself. But most of all, remember to be Happy.

"Journey to the Heart" by Melody Beattie



Sweetest Shmuel, Returning the joy you bring to me... Wishing You Love & Happiness Always Suzi

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

 DEFEATED BY LOVE



The sky was lit
by the splendor of the moon
So powerful
I fell to the ground
Your love has made me sure I am ready to forsake

this worldly life
and surrender
to the magnificence

of your Being
