"A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, 

full of wonder and excitement. 

It is our misfortune that for most of us 

that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct 

for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, 

is dimmed and even lost 

before we reach adulthood. : ~Rachel Carson

"Happy Chuseok!" in Korean :

추석 잘 지 내 새요. (Chuseok jal ji nae sae yo.)
or
추석 잘 보 내 새요. (Chuseok jal bo nae sae yo.)

Wishing all my loved ones in Korea a most blessed and golden week

during Chuseok (their Thanksgiving)


Chuseok is one of the most important holidays of the year, a celebration of harvest and gratitude for its bounty of the earth.

Happy Friday I wish you Happiness

" There is a powerful exercise, quite simple , which I began to use many, many years ago.
Who would I have met on the way , be it a person or an insect , the first thought that I assume with respect to this point: "I wish you happiness ! " But most importantly, that this idea was indeed the very first , "I wish you happiness ."
It completely changes on what is going on between you and that person.
I say this from personal experience .
Sometimes it's very difficult when you meet the enemy when you find yourself face to face with an unexpected tough situation ...
And at this point you get an opportunity to create more space around you ... You see how it pops up this negative emotion , and before it will take "up" over you , you have time to convert it ... You see everything as it is: that's evident ignorance ; anger - not that other, as ignorance from my side, from their side..
Convert him, let go , turn into love.
"I WISH YOU HAPPINESS!"
Try it and see how much everything will change in your life . "
~ Richard Gere

Thank you 

Something beautiful to share:


For the love of a tree,
she went out on a limb.
For the love of the sea, 
she rocked the boat.
For the love of the earth,
she dug deeper.
For the love of community,
she mended fences.
For the love of the stars,
she let her light shine.
For the love of spirit,
she nurtured her soul.
For the love of a good time,
she sowed seeds of happiness.
For the love of the Goddess,
she drew down the moon.
For the love of nature,
she made compost.
For the love of a good meal,
she gave thanks.
For the love of family,
she reconciled differences.
For the love of creativity,
she entertained new possibilities.
For the love of her enemies,
she suspended judgment.
For the love of herself,
she acknowledged her worth.
And the world was richer for her
~Charlotte Tall Mountain

First Day of Fall

"Autumn bowed to place a beautiful crown on the Queen of morning, and her velvet robes sway merrily in the chilly breeze." ~Terri Guillonnels


A tangerine and russet cascade of kaleidoscopic leaves, create a tapestry of autumn magic upon the emerald carpet of fading summer.

At no other time does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds."― Rainer Maria Rilke

"Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear."

~John Lennon (1940-1980)

Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind and true.When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate.If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know.Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden and for Man.Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day.Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you'll go.Those who in July do wed, must labor for their daily bread.Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to seeMarry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine.If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember.When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.

I follow the Way of Love,

and where Love's caravan takes its path,

there is my religion, my faith.

~ Ibn Arabi ~

When a man treats his wife like a Princess

then surely he was raised by a Queen♥♥

Love is... 

being happy for the other person

when they are happy

being sad for the person

when they are sad

being together in good times

and being together in bad times

Love is the source of strength

Love is...

being honest with yourself at all times

being honest with the other person at all times

telling, listening, respecting the truth

and never pretending

Love is the source of reality

Love is...

an understanding so complete that

you feel as if you are a part

of the other person

accepting the other person

just the way they are

and not trying to change them

to be something else

Love is the source of unity

Love is...

the freedom to pursue your own desires

while sharing your experiences

with the other person

the growth of one individual alongside of

and together with the growth

of another individual

Love is the source of success

Love is...

the excitement of planning things together

the excitement of doing things together

Love is the source of the future

Love is...

the fury of the storm

the calm in the rainbow

Love is the source of passion

Love is...

giving and taking in a daily situation

being patient with each other

needs and desires

Love is the source of sharing

Love is..

knowing that the other person

will always be with you

regardless of what happens

missing the other person when they are away

but remaining near in heart at all times

Love is the source of security

Love is..

the

source

of

life

- Poem by Susan Polis Schutz  

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never 

forgotten, never let it disappear...

Happy 19 years of love shared with my beautiful and 

fabulous husband.  I pray God gives us many more 

years to share together in love, health, peace and 

happiness.

Love is all you need♥♥

The greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love

and be loved in return.  

If you want to be really happy in life just love each 

other well, it is as simple as that.

What is Love?Love is . . .
Being happy for the other person when they are happy,
Being sad for the person when they are sad, 
Being together in good times, And being together in bad times.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF STRENGTH.
Love is . . .
Being honest with yourself at all times, 
Being honest with the other person at all times,
Telling, listening, respecting the truth,
And never pretending.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF REALITY.
Love is . . .
An understanding so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person,
Accepting the other person just the way they are,
And not trying to change them to be something else.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF UNITY.
Love is . . .
The freedom to pursue your own desires while sharing your experiences with the other person, The growth of one individual alongside of and together with the growth of another individual.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF SUCCESS.
Love is . . .
The excitement of planning things together,
The excitement of doing things together.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF THE FUTURE.
Love is . . . The fury of the storm, The calm in the rainbow.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF PASSION.
Love is . . .
Giving and taking in a daily situation, Being patient with each other's needs and desires.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF SHARING.
Love is . . .
Knowing that the other person
will always be with you regardless of what happens,
Missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF SECURITY.
LOVE IS . . . THE SOURCE OF LIFE!

Warm embrace. Loving eyes.
A simple glance with no disguise.
Caring hands. Gentle heart.
Never to be torn apart.
Unconditional love. Heart that’s true.
A life of love built for two.

To have, to hold, for always and forever,
May the love you share always keep you together.
Remember the things that you hold so dear,
Especially on this day, as you celebrate
your 4th wedding year.

"The Art of a Good Marriage "
by Wilferd Arlan Peterson

"The little things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.

It is never taking the other for granted;
the courtship should not end with the honeymoon,
it should continue through all the years.

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.

It is doing things for each other,
not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice,
but in the spirit of joy.

It is speaking words of appreciation
and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo
or the wife to have wings of an angel.

It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience,
understanding and a sense of humor.

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is finding room for the things of the spirit.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal,
dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner,
it is being the right partner."

"Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear."

~John Lennon (1940-1980)
