Gentle Splendor
Current mood: grateful
Category: Writing and Poetry

Thinking of you once more.

When I saw the dawn and awoke to the mist of fog on a cold morning the ice crystals were budding on each branch. This gave beauty to life and I thank my Creator of this earth and twilight for giving each the sight to see and the wisdom to hear the crisp silence. It reminds me of special people that He has touched with gentle splendor which touch my life. It allows me to touch another and spread the grand breath of living, love and peace in a gesture as a smile.

Bless you gentle one,

Christmas Lore

One magical night..

It was on this eve while dancing in the snow, wishing a Merry bright to all and me this night! That I saw in the glistening moonlight a tree with sparks of light. As I approached with the crunch of the frozen ground, wee tiny little ones sat quietly in the grand pine with the sticks of flame warming their nose and toes. "What a beautiful sight, on this special night!" I acclaimed. Laughter of joy, music of cheer and dancing of delight began about my feet. I began to dance, singing, "Merry bright! Merry light! Merry Christmas to you this night!" The grand pine illuminated the entire mountain side; some say they saw a special star that night in the grand sky. Auh, but it was I and wee little ones wishing you, "Merry bright! Merry light! Merry Christmas to you this night!"  I hang my hat and my mittens on the pine to dry each year on the entrance to welcome my wee friends in my warm home, in the morning when I wake there are sticks for light left at the door with a note and a dust of magic delightful thanks, wishing all "Merry bright! Merry light! Merry Christmas to you this night!"

A Divine Package
Current mood: jolly

A Divine Package

 I was quietly sitting in my favorite place and in a sentence I read the words; "a divine package". I sat and thought thoroughly on this, a package so luminous and vibrant that it makes our very hearts smile and our very inner soul touch a magical place that we all knew as a young child. This time of year it always comes back, sometimes with sadness, many times with jovial cheer.

This one thing, this tiny thing, "the divine package", which brings to us on earth harmony, warmth, joy, peace, wonder, excitement, magic, and love in such abundance that we extend ourselves to one another without knowing why. We just know it makes us feel a tranquil of repose when we sit at night looking at the lights on the tree or in front of a fire, drinking a warm drink.

Starting early isn't about commercialism as most say, and you don't have to go 'buy' more things.  More and more people are starting early. Why? To bring it back. Bring back the wonder, bring back the worship, the memories. The busier our lives have gotten the more time we need. I would much rather feel this time of year for months or all year than just in December. Get out the wonderful things that make you feel good earlier. There's no rule when you have to put anything up or take it down. Make it happy. It's coming! 

Being the Christmas season, we know The Divine Package we celebrate this season is Jesus Christ, which we celebrate His day of birth although, unknown. What other divine thing could there be? Is it right to assume or should I tell you more information. I think possibly the divine package to me would be the same.

What about other 'things'? What would you think their description be of a 'thing' being divine? I believe in Santa Claus. Now isn't that divine?

Main Entry: ¹di·vine
Pronunciation: d&-

'vIn
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): di·vin·er; -est
Etymology: Middle English divin, from Middle French, from Latin divinus, from divus god -- more at DEITY
1 a : of, relating to, or proceeding directly from God or a god <divine love> b : being a deity divine Savior> c : directed to a deity <divine worship>
2 a : supremely good : SUPERB divine> b : HEAVENLY, GODLIKE

There simply is nothing else to interpret under the dictionary's description. Divine is associated with Deity. Though others do look at their own deity, superb being, heavenly Father, godlike son in their own way. There is no mistake about the heavenly Father and Godlike son. It is and always will be our Creator and Savior as in the description of number one, 1 a: "or proceeding directly from God or a god".

Whatever makes your holiday divine, keep it a miraculous event! Enjoy the children! Bless your loved one or thing! Give love to your friends! Be kind to someone you don't know!

Believe!

If you do anything at this site ~ Current mood: thankful Category: Life Under 'About Me' section the video below. 'The Message:' To YOU. Then when your done the next comment below it also. I know it's music, I tend to express myself in music, word, and art instead of speaking. My heritage and an important message is only a part of me is what I want to share. I think it is cool to have had a mother and father and over all family which is so proud. Below that in 'My Photos': (Some of those that are in my pictures are not living ~ so as it says, "Tread lightly, there be angels here." ~ They really are.) For reasons unspoken I feel the need to send my message out. Namaste' Judy 12:13 PM - 2 Comments - 4 Kudos - Add Comment

Imagination and "My Fairie friends" Current mood: artistic Category: Writing and Poetry Where I go when I create, when I imagine enough to create, when I'm with the little people and when the stars are bouncing around my chair giving me light to see. The word that is in my head speaks to me in a different voice of not my own. It tells me of peace and the magic of wonder and I hear in a distance the laughter of little peoples and a whimsical sound. So light I'm not sure if it's music. I know it's beautiful and then when there's interruption there is silence all around. Everything is still. Nothing moves, there is no commotion, no one knows. I'm there for hours in my chair, and when someone else comes in they think I'm sitting in total silence; some people say 'What's wrong?' "Nothing." I reply.  I can't convince them or explain it to them that I was just told a story by a Pixie or Goblin that slid unto the leg of the chair I'm sitting in. They can't hear them growling at the intruder, but they are only happy of course if the intruder came with a snack and dropped a crumb or two. But that just might be the end of the visit for quite some time. They come back. They always come back, with something that sparkles. And in a distance, in the light of the spark, I see worlds of magnificence. 5:38 PM - 1 Comments - 2 Kudos - Add Comment
