A story with roots in the world of dreams

On my walk around the cape where I live I saw a swancouple with their 7 newborn. The father proud protecting, watching, majestetic....

Dear Lilie,

The Swan lake ...

Love, Margherita

Guess where this one flies? ... over the lake of Zurich of course!

Love, Margherita

Time to go to dream ..... guess of what?!

Good night sweet hearts!
Margherita

I don´t know anything that like swans correspond
to this serene majestetic movement in the inner space of my heart...Thank you Margherita
for this beauty....




Betsy Podlach ..."Her paintings are about relationships. They are created through a personal, abstract conception of form, space and light. She says, "I work from direct observation - the beauty of objects in light, the anatomy or the landscape - along with my unconscious...... I work with color to create a light coming from within the picture, stillness that reverberates. I use nature, these formal principles, and my imagination to form a personal image."

Light play ....

Love,

Lilie

Stones caressed for eons ... such smoothness
if you move with the mouse over it it changes color ... should!

Dear Lilie never mind the spelling of my name! I know you meant me and that is what counts!

Thank you children for the beautiful images.

This is Uluhu Rock, formerly known as Ayers Rock.
It rises a thousand feet above the sand plain of central Australia, and it is the largest monolith on earth.
This rock is a sacred place to the desert people.

This takes me to the tales of the 1001 nights.
Here is a flying carpet, made in Tabriz, the work of the great Majzraji whose lifetime output did not exceed twenty pieces.

Let us drift along and dream on this peaceful river in China:

Love, Inda

You bring us to the most wonderful places. What a restful view. And I would not want to miss this...



Love,

Lilie

...... sorry but I feel more at home in my Swiss Alps and here at this little lake I have been .... and my heart still beats fast when I think of the beauty, the silence, the love, the ALL ....... I felt there. My longing to go back there is DEEEEEEEEP!
Love, Margherita

Dear Margherita

Here we can go from place to place, nothing is impossible and distance is no more. So here we stay for a while at the shore of your lake, sharing the silence...and the clearness of the air

Thank you dear Lilie for following me to these enchanted places .... right now it is so extremely hot here that I need to flee high up somewhere ...... if I could move, but heat makes us tired .... so at least in spirit I move to a place where there is much water splashing, refreshing me ....

the Niagara falls

Love, Margherita

Thank you for the Birthday wishes Lilie.
And thank you again for the beautiful images.

I have limited use of a computer, actually I am using my friend's computer ,so I really appreciate what I see here. Everything is really beautiful.

Sincerely
Gisele

Dear Gisele

You can mention something that interests you and I will gladly try to find the images...it could be of any kind

Love,

Lilie

Dear Inda

Throught the different
openings I try to see
and through each of them
the world seem different
as with the different ways
I say the words I....

And only one of the I:s
is the true voice that
I love and speaks what
is most true

The Oness of all
and it's essence love
and bliss

Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
Thank you for the sacred
prayer of the "One."

Here is another opening to another land,
yet it is all the ONE Earth.

Love, Inda

ah...unconditional Love Present beyond words but still gives us words....thank you for the breathtaking pictures that silent the mind and brings Truth to awareness....love, Carolyn

welcome Carolyn!

I like the images of openings...

Love,

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
What fun! You are back, so now we can keep skipping through the openings into the world of more magical dreams.

I am looking forward doing this....

Love,

Lilie

Thank you Lilie, but I have no special request. What I see here is very beautiful, and I like the surprise. Just carry on!

Gisele

This thread makes me sit on top of the world.
Love, Inda

Thinking of a bird with an aura or a heart glowing as a bird....


Love,

Lilie

I looked and I found a glow around this little bird.

This little bird flew away through
an arch in the stone.

And now see where we are

What an amazing place...and here such an abundance

Dear Lilie,
What an amazing grotto.

Here is another passage we can travel through.

At the end of the passage we will find the free spirit of the Native.

More openings and freedom...



Love,

Lilie

In my dreams I kept on flying

Suddenly it took me on a different path

It showed me that even the prickly things have a lot of beauty.

It might be the time to enter the wonderful world of cactuses

These Cactus dreams are so much fun!

And here a seldom seen one...

And here one cactus with an opening...

Thank you lilie,
These are so amazing.
Here is another flowering beauty:

One more Cactus with two pink flowers:

Inda

these are so adorable
what colors!
Delicate...

What is red?

What a beautiful red Cactus.

Now a little bird with a spot of' red', took me to find more things that are red.

As we sit together, and watch the red sunset, it is time to dream of more things in red.

A special sunrise...in silence...also the cactus is sharing, with fingers reaching up in heaven as if in some nostalgia

The Earth is as beautiful as the Rubi.
As we flew along over the mountains, we came close to the rubi red glow.

Dear Lilie,
I am sorry the volcanoes upset you.
I have replaced them with beautiful red flowers on a red housewall in the deep south.

We continued the flight and guess what,
we almost flew all the way through this door
when we saw a monk in red.

Oh, I amnot sure I am finnished with vulcanos, so much tension inside...anyway when seeing this picture...I almost got hypnotized

Well now we have another peaceful red sunset.
Maybe we can have a few more dreams laced with red.

sunset in Ganges....magic

Oh, I am sorry if unclear...volcanoes fascinate me...after these sunset...let us explore more of that...

Dear Lilie,
these are so magnificent!
Here is the sunrise on the Haleakala crater.

One more sunrise
in Zion National park

Here are silverswords growing on Haleakala

sitting there looking out...falling into meditation

Joining in the meditation as I contemplate this glowing vision.

As I sat there, lost in the wondrous glow, my inner self took me to another Silversword on the Haleakala crater.

Now it is time to say Good-Night, and time to dream more dreams by the light of the moon.

And from the dream world...the King´s road to the unconscious...

Thank you very much.
I visit my friend much more often than I used to, just so we can look at this wonderful thread.

Sincerely
Gisele

Thank you dear Gisele, please say hello to your friend....

more dreamworld


Love,

Lilie

Continuing to walk along the road into the world of dreams.

More Dreams:

The purpose is to possess continuously
that fragrant state
which appears to you
in prayer.
Sufi Prayer

God is in the look of your eyes,
in the thought of looking,
nearer to you than your self,
or things that have happened to you.
There's no need to go outside.

Dearest Inda

You have come with so much beauty here...I will have to sit down and just breath in the wisdom of it...and take this indian bowl to contain it...



Love to you

Lilie

Dear Lilie,
Thank you for sharing this bowl filled with wisdom.

Here is someone who is whipreing more words of wisdom:

All is One

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

~William Blake

Ah....again, so beautiful!



Love,

Lilie

The above painting by Simon Parkin..
""When I paint I try to get beyond the surface of self to a deeper self . There is an intereaction of body, mind and spirit and a unifying process takes place in which opposite principles are often brought together i.e. the physical and the spiritual".

There are no opposites. there is only one. Everything else is an illusion.

Here is the dark and light side of the same mountain. In a few hours the light side will be the dark, and the dark the light one.

I am still enjoying this thread immensly.
There is always a surprise.
Thank you very much...what a joy!

Sincerely
Gisele

Evening approaches and I watch the purple sunset, ready for another dream.

You grow in sleep, and live your fuller life in your dreaming. For all your days are spent in thanksgiving for that which you have received in the stillness of the night.
