Description

I dare you to be more than you are. I dare you to live your life based upon your dreams. I dare you to be unafraid of your future. What an interesting challenge to make and the question of why certainly does come to mind. Every day we are faced with an infinite number of choices... choices that will bring us closer to our goal. However, there is quite an interesting thing that happens when we get closer to our chosen goal. Sometimes... just sometimes... the closer to we get to attaining that which we have so eagerly sought, the more resistant we become to making the choices that will bring that desire... that goal... into form. Another interesting thing about moving towards a goal is that we really do not move in a straight line to it. The line has zig's and zag's. It is almost like looking at a graph. The closer we get, the more we zig and zag (going up and down). Then, when we are just in reach of it, we make one big zig zag and that is when we should step outside of ourselves and become the objective observer. Whatever our reasons may be... feeling that we may miss the mark... feeling that once we arrive, we may not be able to sustain our goal... whether that reason is known or unknown to us; our reasons appear to be real. Our mission... should we choose to accept it... is to dare ourselves to move beyond the limitations that we perceive and to know for ourselves that we can and will achieve our desired experience. Our mission is to create a mindset that will reinforce our confidence and allow us to know that we are worth every ounce of effort that it takes for us to get us there. The only person that can set limits upon us, is Us. We are limitless people... we are unbounded... we are always abundantly supplied with whatever we require or desire. We shall know with an indwelling passion that our Good is ours right now, right this very moment. We shall accept this truth in our hearts and the rest will follow. For this truth cannot be denied by us or anyone else. Real truths never change. Only facts change and facts are just appearances that crop up from time to time. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worth while...initially scared me to death.' Quote by Betty Bender May the light of the Universe shine forth from your heart and may it fall upon all who enter your life experience. © Gayle O This is a single flame created in Apophysis 3D Hack 2.08.

A gorgeous image and very fine words, indeed. It has been my experience that achieving any goal is always never a straight line. When the obstacles (zigs and zags) come, and they surely always do, we have to stay focused on our destination.

You may know the old story: Two buddhists are watching a flag & say to their master, "is the flag moving, or is the wind moving?" And the master says, "neither: Your mind is moving." A more passionate version is from one of my teachers (years back): She'd been in the Gulags & WWII and pretty much seen the best & worst of the 20th C; yet she was filled with such love you nearly lost words when she was with you. One day I asked her, "do you still ever get scared?" She said, "everyday. But it makes the bliss that much more beauteous. Even in my worst experiences, I knew that 'home' was always inside me: I didn't have to travel half the world: It was right where I sat..." I know that's not exactly what you're saying, but it's similar... Your elation is always wonderful, and your visual (with some motifs similar to the last piece) has these transparent 'domes' billowing up as if they're came from the center of our consciousness. Your light is very generous (always is), and your curved space intimates places far beyond the frame, and your weaves etc are gentle and comforting. Maybe you're offering comfort as we seek the deeper realms, or maybe you're just shining a quiet light on us. One of your gentler pieces, accepting & calm; and your words as always are inviting and very loving. (And I like how you take snippets of your paintings and put them next to your signature. That's such an intimate little touch!)
