Signs

Signs by miramaze @ Friday, 26. Jul, 2013 – 12:41:22 Signs, synchronicity , meaningful coincidences ... I do believe they are meaningful and contain hints and messages for us from a place of higher awareness. This message from the Universe arrived today . Very interesting Those little things that you alone see, Mira , aren't by chance. The sign, the squirrel, the dragonfly; the whisper, the song, the lily. It's me. I'm always with you. I'll do anything to reach you -- to give you hope, keep you on track, answer your questions. Look even closer, The Universe My encounter the other day was meaningful too. Full of hints and messages .

Dreams come true

Dreams come true ... yes they do ! by miramaze @ Thursday, 25. Jul, 2013 – 11:56:55 Dreams come true, Mira, that's what they do. The only variable is when. For the slow approach: Resist. Attach. Insist. Deny. Stop. Second guess. Whine. Argue. Defend. Protest. Cry. Struggle. And ask others, when you know the answer yourself. For the quick approach: Visualize. Pretend. Prepare. Dodge. Roll. Serpentine. Do not waiver over intentions, but over methods. Show up, even when nothing happens. And give thanks in advance. You knew that, The Universe www.tut.com This made me smile this morning. Happy Thursday , everyone

Enigmatic encounter on a sunny bench at Stadshuset

Had an hour long conversation with a man from Bagdad A talkative artist . He told me Saber was his name and that it meant cactus . His Swedish was not easy to understand at times , but after a while I began to see a story in the form of a collage emerging. Our conversation spanned painting , art, artists, his travels , spirituality, myth and legend He spoke ofGilgamesh , King of Uruk: "He who Saw the Deep" and of 12 mysterious tablets of wisdom, Ashtar and Mesopotamia. I kept thinking of my own incarnation ( Past life regression ) in 2010 BC in Mesopotamia. My life is full of synchronicity and meaninful coincidences. I think this was a reminder for me to start painting again. Night night all

.... I value and appreciate ,spontaneity , I do 

Think this is why FB is more appealing than posting a blog.
Get it off your chest and that's it - done

Here's one for us Geminis :

GEMINI - The Twin (May 21 to June 20)
Nice. Love is one of a kind. Great listeners. Very good at confusing people. Lover not a fighter, but will still knock you out. Geminis will not take any crap from anyone. Geminis like to tell people what they should do and get offended easily. They are great at losing things and are forgetful. Geminis can be very sarcastic and childish at times and are very nosy. Trustworthy. Always happy. VERY Loud. Talkative. Outgoing. VERY FORGIVING. Loves to make out. Has a beautiful smile. Generous. Strong. f

Meeting of the 13 Grandmothers in Stockholm

The 13 Grandmothers' Gathering in Stockholm

by miramaze @ Friday, 12. Jul, 2013 – 19:47:03

Three of my friends are attending this gathering .One of them rang me late last night , very pleased , praising them to the heights .

http://centerforsacredstudies.org/update-grandmothers-council-gathering-moved-to-stockholm/

" You MUST come tomorrow "
( there's that word that I'm allergic to )
" Not sure " says I " I don't feel drawn , this time. I'll sleep on it and think about it "

There was no way that I felt drawn enough to be there by 8 a.m. or pay the 500 kronor day fee.
Resistance

" But I can join you for lunch "
So it was agreed .

Woke up 10:30 this morning and with an awful lot of effort managed to get there by 12:00
When my friends emerged from the morning session in the conference room , they all had this glazed spaced- out look on their faces. It had been a powerful session and off we went to have lunch . Grounding was needed.

After lunch , there was to be a gathering around the sacred fire in the small park opposite the hotel. so I went along to see what it was all about .

Standing at the back ,I couldn't see very much . There were a few rows of people sitting at the front. It was fine for them , I suppose , but with my broken foot in a brace I could not sit on the ground .

I did get a glimpse of the sacred fire and the circle .

As I was leaving I saw these two chaps chilling out and stopped to take a picture of them , upon which a woman points out that the Grandmothers didn't permit taking of photographs.
" Oh " I said " I was just taking a picture of the dogs "
" well that's alright "  she says .

( I'd already snapped the two prevous pics . WIll I be forever dammed ? ???  )  It's best that they don't know .... and you won't tell 'em will you ? )

My rainy day

My rainy day .

by miramaze @ Thursday, 11. Jul, 2013 – 01:26:51

Making mistakes is my higher education. 

Yesterday I was telling a friend that I'd been putting a task off for several months. Imagine all the time and energy wasted 

- Now tomorrow - you just go ahead and do it , says my friend
- Right. I shall do that, says I .

So I set the alarm . Alarm goes off in the morning and I snooze for another ten minutes before I can work up enough energy to drag myself out of my cosy bed.

Next , morning rituals, which now include inflating and deflating Bootsie ( foot brace ) for a snug and safe fit and after that breakfast. About two and a half hours after the alarm , I am ready to go out .

First mistake : Choosing a rainy day . It's actually raining quite heavily

Second mistake : Ruling out my new purple plastic rain poncho in favour of an ordinary jacket that had been waterproofed.

Third mistake : not waterproof enough . Very soon I am soaked to the skin.

( Can't have an umbrella as I need one had free as the other is for the crutch )

Four mistake : On arrival at my destination , I see from the notice pasted on the door that the company have moved about a mile away , Nothing for it but to hobble along , 'singing ' in the rain while muttering swear words all the way. Could they have chosen a more remote new address  ?

Fifth mistake : I am told I need not have come in personally ,

The learning:
There comes a point when you are soaked to the skin that you cannot get more wet if you tried and there is a weird pleasure in that. It is too absurd . You need not care any more; you surrender and even start to enjoy the rain and the fact that you can now return home feeling a sense of achievement ....getting something 'done ' even though it didn't need doing in the first place and being able to laugh at your own stupidity .

Back home , I notice that water has seeped into Bootsie and the inner sock is quite wet.
I'm also very tired by now after such an early start so I jump into bed for a 45 minute snooze.after which I set to for dinner ready for myself and three friends.

On the menu :
Cream of Jerusalem artichoke soup ( made from scratch , frozen and heated up. )
Warm Smoked Salmon with new potatoes.
Yoghurt dill and chive dressing
Huge mixed green salad.
Home made raspberry ice cream.

AND .. it turned out to be an absolutely DELIGHTFUL evening!

My house guest has returned to the U.K.

Cooie , friends , readers , anybody .....

Hiya

You know you have been away forever when BCUK refuses to let you comment on a comment on one of your own posts 

" please enter a valid email address "

WTF ??

All the time I thought it was the captcha's that I was getting wrong .

BOTHER 

Anyway .. here I am
*looks around*

My house guest of 10 days has returned back to the UK . She's homeless now, having cleared and sold her house in Silverdale. A lot has gone to charity shops and the tip , she tells me , and a small storage room is chocker block full in one of those storage prisons costing a small fortune. I do hope she gets her perfect 1-2 bedroom flat in London.

Sadly , sale of our family home in Bradford has fallen through , yet again , for the THIRD time. ( Are we jinxed ?? ) we were so close this time. The prospective buyers had all the surveys done, and had got the deposit required , which unfortunately was sent to the wrong address and in the meantime they'd spent it on something else !!!  would you credit it ? I am laughing , but it is NOT funny.

So, Murphy and Spice , we might yet meet again in Idle . Please don't say 'break a leg ' ......

Have a great weekend , everyone . I hear fantastic summer weather is coming your way
