Springtime Prayer

For flowers that bloom about our feet,
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet,
For song of bird, and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

For blue of stream and blue of sky,
For pleasant shade of branches high,
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Join Us...a poem

On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You wont see us on the T.V.
You wont read about us in the newspaper
You wont hear about us on the radio
We dont seek any glory
We dont wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you choose to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the
power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You dont have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you choose to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open.

Susan Boyle - Truly Inspired Performance

I still have tears in my eyes as I write this post. The best way to understand why I am making this post is to watch the video. Here is the link:

Undeniably, the most moving and inspirational thing I have witnessed in years! It just goes to show, we cannot judge our fellow man or woman by the way they look or act!!

EARTH...a haiku

Earth, blue and green orb,
Mother of all humankind,
Lady of nature.

Welcome....About this Blog....How to Use the Blog

In this day of social networking, I thought one morning, why not create a blog with positive, inspiring, creative, thoughtful, witty, (you get the idea) content. We need a positive place to go to take a break from everyday life; to learn how others are making a difference in the world; to create our own thoughts and ideas and gain inspiration for what we would like to do to contribute to others and even to ourselves.

I thought through a blog, I, as well as other team authors, and you, as commentators, could contribute to the content. We can all share our own thoughts, insights, experiences and creative endeavors so everyone can benefit.

At this time, the world needs every positive, loving thought and deed we can create to help this world, our Earth, to be a little better place to live for everyone.


I welcome you to join me in this new adventure of creativeness, community, and positive thoughts. Please become a follower and commentator and make your own contributions.


There are a few ground rules I would like to establish:
1- This is a positive site! Therefore all negative comments, judgements, and criticisms are discouraged.
2- No vulgar, pornographic, or adult content will be acceptable.
3- Please make your entries as short and concise as reasonably possible.
4- Only post that which you are legally entitled to post. No copyright infringements please.


Suggested content to contribute:
1- Post a poem
2- Post a positive thought
3- Post a story of a kind or thoughtful act or deed you did or observed
4- Post a joke, funny saying or story
5- Post a photo
6- And if you want to contribute but can't think of anything to say, then complete this sentence:
"Make a beautiful Earth by............."

If you have any suggestions on how to improve this site, please let me know.

I look forward to our joint venture in making the Earth and our lives a little more beautiful a bit at a time!!!!!!
