Description

Somewhere in the universe is an hourglass that holds the grains of sand from the universe. At first glance it would appear that there is nothing special about this hourglass. However, when one looks closer one can see that the sands of time flow through this hourglass. The sand that flows in this hourglass is not like the sand that we see in our world. Instead, it is sand that has a magical property to it. This sand is made of the universal sands of time. Each grain holds unto itself the beginnings of life that may form new galaxies or stars. These grains of sand can hold an infinite number of planets and stars. You see, in our mystical universe the process of creation is infinite and can extend beyond that which we can see. We are also like the sands of time. We are an infinite potential and possibility. Within our being there is a multitude of options for each day of our beingness. How these options play out is up to us and has always been up to us. The fun part of this playing out event is that we can change the outcome to be what we dream it to be. So when you think there are no other possible outcomes, allow yourself to be open at the top. And for just one brief moment visualize the sands of time flowing in, around and through you. Allow yourself to create the mental possibility of infinite possibilities. And then, just as if you were grabbing for a brass ring, pick the ring that feels the most shiny. Yes, it is a feeling. For the soul heart will know which ring is the right one for you. I know that this sounds odd. But sometimes, just sometimes, going with your inner feelings will bring a more wonderful possibility. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'I am a possibility. With a mere thought and the blink of an eye I can create the Me that I know that I can be.' Gayle O May the days of your life bring you joy and delight. And may that joy and delight bring to you the dreams that you most dearly desire. © Gayle O The original flame was created with Apophysis 3D Hack. The seed script for this image is the Stripes Landscape script created by Chromotron with some manipulation of the bubble transforms. The inset image is the original flame. The main image was then run through the Mehdi Kaleidoscope 2.1 filter in PSP. Thank you for stopping by to share a moment of time with me and for viewing my art. Thank you for your comments on this image and my previous images. Each one is like a precious jewel and will always be treasured. I send a most heart felt thank you to those of you who have favored me as an artist or have favored one of my images. Your visits to my gallery mean a lot to me. They make my world a little brighter and bring rainbows to my valley of life. Of all the people in the world that you could have chosen to be, I am so glad that you chose to be you. You are magnificent and one of a kind. How glad I am that you chose to be you. Namaste. The larger version of this image is on display in my store amota99517.com

Quelle belle composition que cette image dorée que vous nous présentez !!! Un sablier !!! Un magnifique sablier...mais déformable, car sinon comment expliquer la lenteur de l’écoulement du sable pour les mauvais moments et l’accération subite de celui-ci aux meilleurs instants de notre vie. Pourquoi, par contre, notre esprit évacue-t-il beaucoup plus de mauvais souvenirs qu’il ne garde les bons ? Oui, la vie est une étrange chose...elle passe d’autant plus vite quand on arrive à son terme...pourquoi le sablier accélère -t-il la chute du sable ? Qui triche dans tout cela ? Car il doit bien y avoir quelqu’un qui triche...ne nous occupons plus de nos souvenirs, vivons le jour présent, de l’éveil de la nature avec ses chants d’oiseaux...jusqu’au soir du jour, avec les magnifiques couleurs du soleil couchant...et que la nuit nous enveloppe enfin...pour un profond sommeil. What a nice composition that this gold picture which you introduce us!!! An egg timer!!! A splendid egg timer but a déformable, because otherwise how to explain the slowness of the flow of the sand for bad times and sudden accération of this one at the best instants of our life. Why, on the contrary, does our mind evacuate much more bad memories which he has good? Yes, life is a strange thing it quickly passes all the more when they arrive at its term why the egg timer speeds up-t-il the fall of the sand? Who cheats in all that? Because there must be somebody who cheats let us not occupy us any more of our memories, let us live us the present day, the awakening of nature with his songs of birds till the evening of day, with the splendid colours of the setting sun and that the night envelops to us finally for a deep sleep.
