“We don’t learn how to cultivate love and compassion from those who are easy to love, we learn it from those for whom our love requires significant effort and constant practice – our so-called enemies.” ~~ the Dalai Lama, quoted in THE NEW MANDALA – Eastern Wisdom for Western Living

On Twitter a few minutes ago, I ran across the link to this excerpt from Eve Ensler’s new book, “I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World
I AM AN EMOTIONAL CREATURE
I love being a girl.
I can feel what you’re feeling
as you’re feeling it inside
the feeling
before.
I am an emotional creature.
Things do not come to me
as intellectual theories or hard-shaped ideas.
They pulse through my organs and legs
and burn up my ears.
I know when your girlfriend’s really pissed off
even though she appears to give you what
you want.
I know when a storm is coming.
I can feel the invisible stirrings in the air.
I can tell you he won’t call back.
It’s a vibe I share.I am an emotional creature.
I love that I do not take things lightly.
Everything is intense to me.
The way I walk in the street.
The way my mother wakes me up.
The way I hear bad news.
The way it’s unbearable when I lose.
As an Emotional Creature and a poet, Eve Ensler’s every line vibrated through my soul and expressed what is sometimes so difficult for every woman to vocalize in herself and to others. Jane Fonda has a little more on her blog, on what Ensler is up to these days.
Thank you Eve Ensler.

REPLENISHING SOURCE
* artwork by Krystleyez*
Seed balls: Complimentary growing partners held together
by nutritive materials, wisely spread about the earth to
replenish land, nourish inhabitants, and encourage strength
through diversity.
Created to sprout during optimum conditions, allowing
Mother Earth to activate Divinely designed coding within,
these time capsules of living, loving possibility are present,
accounted for, and prepared to go/grow Now.
You see, we have been gathering to replenish the Earth
with (k)new seeds balls of Light, in hue-man form,
all coded for creation, and mixed with Love and
Gratitude.
We, the Seed Balls, are spread across all lands, yet intimately
connected. Through intent, and by being aligned with the
Heart’s calling, we will grow to thrive, beautify and enliven
all creation.
Each Seed Ball has been planted, catalyzed, and nourished
by our world wide wave of Gratitude … each held sacred
at the Heart of YOU!
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Imagine the unfolding like this:
Gratitude
Seed
ME
WE
Go
GROW
WORLD
LOVE
Replenish
Peace.
Consider: Even our symbol of Gratitude, by
divine design, is a seed ball. Centered within is a seed,
sprouting round as a (k)new possibility, held safe by a
community-created sacred space, at the Heart of Gratitude.
Now imagine you are this seed, embraced by the
Great*Full*Ness of Life. In order to Go, this seed must
grow Now and break. Break free of all that it used to be, and
rise toward the Light in order to bloom and thrive!
Beloveds, This is a great time to re-view the short
movie made for this wave of World Gratitude:

Here you will find a Dream Seed, planted upon the
altar of the Heart of Humanity, gathered into a ball
of Gratitude, and opening to shine the Light of Love
for all to see.
Our waking dreams are these Seed Balls of possibility.
Together we are preparing the way to thrive and In-JOY life
… All by Aligning with the Heart’s calling and Embracing
the Great*Full*Ness of Life!

As the light of the sun
Nourishes the earth
Life sprouts through the plant
Allowing us to transform
The earth’s breath of life
Into human deeds of light
Replenishing the source

Day 25 – DRIFT TOO SHIFT
*source ~ unknown*
As Gratitude becomes a waking pattern within YOU,
so it will be with others, too!
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Just for today:
Remember to practice Gratitude as you drift to sleep and
Wake to Dream, flowing beyond thoughts to breathe with
ease … in and out, give and receive. This silent prayer of
Gratitude, as emitted by the multitudes, creates an ebb
and flow ~ a gentle shifting ~ during this time of
mass-transformation.
Listen … do you feel it?
A world waking to Love and Gratitude, drifting to
shift peacefully as One.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU
Just for today:
Thank you for being YOU.
Fully, completely, ever-so-sweetly let this
flow of Love and Gratitude permeate every
nano-aspect of the Divine being called You.
In every way possible, spend today giving thanks
to you … Remember, as you do, you are setting a
pattern for others to follow, too.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
To expand and magnify this exercise:
Imagine yourself as a newborn, an infant,
a child, teen, young adult~ and so on ~ until
you connect all with Now. At each stage, give
thanks for your unique-ness, talents, and
timely experiences. Allow all aspects of you to come
together, as One in Love and Gratitude.
