A higher perspective on time from www.thedailyguru.com

"Be mindful of how you approach time. Watching the clock is not the same as watching the sun rise."

-- Sophia Bedford-Pierce

What would your soul consider a waste of time?

To a soul, the only real time is right NOW. Not the future or the past. It lives in connecting deeply with the rich experience of each moment. Through awareness
we can be in touch with our authentic self and how it perceives all of the energies and guidance around and within us.

"Chronos is clocks, deadlines, watches, calendars, agendas, planners, schedules, beepers. Chronos is time at her worst. Chronos keeps track. ...Chronos is the
world's time. Kairos is transcendence, infinity, reverence, joy, passion, love, the Sacred. Kairos is intimacy with the Real. Kairos is time at her best.
...Kairos is Spirit's time. We exist in chronos. We long for kairos. That's our duality. Chronos requires speed so that it won't be wasted. Kairos requires space so that it might be savored. We do in chronos. In kairos we're allowed to
be ... It takes only a moment to cross over from chronos into kairos, but it does take a moment. All that kairos asks is our willingness to stop running long enough to hear the music of the spheres."

-- Sarah Ban Breathnach

"He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses."

-- Horace

Spent about an hour doing this on line market survey about food and cooking. I do this from time to time and donate the payment to charity.

This one was different, interesting but complicated. It involved making picture postcards to do with food. You had to compose pictures incorporating moods ,background colours and food and situations. There was bits of writing too and filling in of an on line food diary .

It occured to me that this was some company's way of getting ideas and inspiration to advertise their products - a form of cheap labour.

Mixed feelings ,but fun on the whole .. and for a good cause .. I hope

Off to bed now.

Mrs F.. I could do with that spell and team of clay figures that do work around the house .I don't feel like cleaning and tidying and it does need doing No unblocking of drainsm fortunately and no crocs to kill

Night night all
Love and peace in all dimensions.

mira maze ...A very special Gemini ( it says that for all the signs )

mira maze is as bright as a button and as sharp as a blade. If there's ever anything you need to know, mira maze is the person to ask. Chances are she will know the answer already. If not she will go and ask someone else and she will keep asking until she gets an answer. mira maze simply cannot stand the idea of a question that has no answer, so if she cannot get a satisfactory explanation she will invent one. A good one. She is after all as bright as a button. There are though, some questions in life which are best left unanswered. The rest of us know to leave them alone. mira cannot resist the urge to explore them. She is drawn to such questions, like, well, like a button to a button hole! mira answers these questions cleverly because, after all as sharp as a blade, but then you know what they say about people who are too sharp...

mira can be very cutting sometimes. She doesn't mean to be. She just can't help it. mira can't stop herself from daring to say what other people hardly dare to think. This is why mira often gets himself into trouble but it is also why mira is such an interesting person to know. Life with mira maze is never dull. There's always an adventure, a challenge or a deal to be done. mira loves to do deals. The word 'no' is not in her vocabulary. When she hears it mira is immediately tempted to reply "Is that 'no' as in 'maybe', 'no' as in 'I need to be persuaded,' or 'no as in 'not quite yet?' Luckily mira gets clean away with this kind of attitude. mira maze, at least when it comes to the unanswerable question, is living proof of the old adage "Who dares...wins".

Today's Outlook for
Thursday August 09, 2007
Yesterday | TODAY | Tomorrow

The Moon's entry into moody Cancer at 1:36 am EDT would normally quiet our world as it pulls us into a more emotional frame of mind, but today the fiery energy rages strong.

Four planets in Leo are harmonizing with two planets in Sagittarius warming our hearts, even as Venus backs into serious Saturn over the next few days.

Still, it's hard to hide our enthusiasm and excitement as talkative Mercury forms a happy-go-lucky trine with buoyant Jupiter.

Flippin 'eck ..don't know what to believe. Methinks I'll stick to writing my own horoscope

Iis. Today . The sort of day that makes your hair curl . frizz

Very humid, cloudy and warm. Muggy.

Nice though.

The rain showers have made everything smell more .. in a nice way .. earthy flowery smells

Thrill Of The Moment
Gemini Daily Horoscope

You might receive unexpected news today, which could leave you feeling thrilled. It may simply be the element of surprise or the fact that there is something that you have always wanted to happen that has come true for you that is causing your excitement. While it can be easy to think more deeply about what has happened or even to worry about what this may mean for the future, you may find that letting go of any desired outcome can make your news much more meaningful for you today. As you allow your surprise to wash over you, try to release anything negative that may come to your mind. Reveling in the feeling that you have without thinking too much about or analyzing it could allow you to truly experience the joy of the moment.

We are able to truly relish the positive things that happen in our lives when we place our awareness in the present. Receiving good news makes it easier for us to really remain with our feelings for exhilaration usually puts us squarely in the moment. This feeling of elation, however, is usually short-lived. ( ) Rather than holding onto it, though, it is much better if we simply go with the flow, letting all of the things that we are meant to experience and feel simply happen. By being one with your feelings and releasing your expectations of a particular outcome, you will more fully delight in the blessings you have been given today.

THROUGH THE GATEWAY
Eva Pierrakos

Through the gateway of feeling your weakness lies your strength.

Through the gateway of feeling your pain lies your pleasure and joy.

Through the gateway of feeling your fear lies your security and safety.

Through the gateway of feeling your loneliness lies your capacity to have fulfillment, love and companionship.

Through the gateway of feeling your hopelessness lies true and justified hope. Through the gateway of accepting the lacks in your childhood lies your fulfillment now.

Noticed the dark clouds as I left home. It's a good thing I brought my brolly. The sky opens lightning flashes and rain falls in torrents.An hour or so later bright sunshine , so we sit outside drink tea and eat gorgeous crusty bread, cheese and marmalade

Neighbour's cat passes by as if to check up on us

In the evening we move round to the front of the house for dinner.

Must read Scott Peck's " A road less travelled " again.

Lena brought with her " THe Power of Coincidences " by David Richo. I picked it up and it fell open at this quote :

" Man does not change at death into his immortal part, but is mortal and imortal even in life being both ego and Self "

-- Carl Jung.

I always love being out at Gunilla's house. The energies there are special and everything is so green and lush.
