ONE THING TO NEVER FORGET

ONE THING TO NEVER FORGETYour presence, is a present to the world.You're unique and one of a kind.Your life can be, what you want it to be.Take the days, just one at a time.Count your blessings, not your troubles.You'll make it through, whatever comes along.Within you, are so many answers.Understand, have courage, be strong.Don't put limits on yourself.So many dreams, are waiting to be realized.Decisions are too important, to leave to chance.Reach for your peak, your goal and your prize.Nothing wastes more energy, than worrying.The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.Don't take things too seriously.Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.Remember, that a little love goes a long way.Remember, that a lot of love goes forever.Remember, that friendship is a wise investment.Life's treasures, are people... together.Realize, that it's never too late.Do ordinary things, in a extraordinary way.Have health, hope and happiness.Take the time, to wish upon a star.And don't ever forget....For even a day....How very special you areHappy Easter to all my friends from Jenny's Creations

somewhere in Time

Made by my dear internet friend Ine: Somewhere In Time

I like to share my first video made with my own film material, that I gave the title: 'Timeless'.
'Timeless', because all Beauty of Nature is timeless...
I used two wonderful reading poems in this video:
'Two Windows' and 'Seeking until Found' by Alan Harris.
He gave me his permission, thank you Alan!
What can I say more?
The words, the images and the music,
must be felt with the heart...
The music is:'Somewhere In Time' by Maksim.
I hope you'll enjoy.
And...Believe in Love, Life and Yourself,

Ine

Poem: 'Two Windows'
Reading by Alan Harris

Please
don't be
fooled by
what you
think you
see through
that window.

Nothing is there.
What to see
is inside
the seen.

Out there
is a parade
of decay
and illusion.

Inside, where
seeing is whole,
waits a beauty
you long ago knew
in the rolling
of your lives.

Try the window
within.

Poem: 'Seeking until Found'
Reading by Alan Harris

There is a footless path,
a carless road,
a planeless flight
to a placeless mountain
within.

When focused on our outer joys
we seek after things that weigh or thrill,
we dignify the use of force,
we laud coarse lucre with our hopes.
Seeking without, we remain without.

If we but listen quietly
for the call to an inner mountain state,
we find that our souls are known and loved
by a subtle shepherd grooming us
to serve and build, to sow and reap.

Knowing our knownness,
we may find our foundness.

I have to go to the hospital

After 2 months investigations I have had in the hospital, I've finally heard today what they are going to do.

Initially it would be a cardiac surgery, but because it must happen at the same place as my first surgery in 2006 it was too much risk.

So the next decision they have made today and I was very pleased with the results:

Next Sunday I will taken up in a hospital in Antwerp in Belgium and they will do one last checkup and if possible they will do angioplasty me at the same time. If it is not possible then I still get a heart surgery at a later date ...

If all goes well I'm back home Wednesday.

So please cross your fingers for me that everything goes well.

With Love, Vonnie

My dear friends,

Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes.

It is good to know that people from around the world are thinking of me and I thank you for that.

It is impossible for me to thank everyone personally, so I will do it this way.

Thanks, thanks, thanks

With much love,
Vonnie

Rainbow at Night

Have you ever seen a rainbow after dark? It happened last night in Yorkshire, UK, where Christopher Walker photographed a multi-colored band arcing over the countryside:

Rainbows appear when sunlight is reflected from raindrops. But in this case, the sun was not required; the Frosty Moon was bright enough to do the job on its own. "The moonlight was so bright I could see red in the rainbow with my unaided eye," says Walker. "A 30 second exposure with my digital camera revealed [the full range of rainbow colors]."

Lunar rainbows aren't the only thing you might see when the Frosty Moon is out. Be alert also for lunar coronas, moon rings, moondogs, and, last but not least, your own moon shadow.

Elder's Meditation

Elder's Meditation"Everything is laid out for you. Your path is straight ahead of you. Sometimes it's invisible but it's there. You may not know where it's going, but still you have to follow that path. It's the path to the Creator. That's the only path there is."--Leon Shenandoah, ONONDAGAEverything on the earth has a purpose and a reason for its existence. Every human being is a warrior and every warrior has a song written in his/her heart and that song must be sung or the soul forever remains restless.This song is always about serving the Great Spirit and helping the people. This song is always sung for the people.Many times I need to learn much about the difficulties of life. I need to know this, so I must experience it. Then I can be of use to the people. Because I am experiencing difficulty does not mean I have left the path or that I have done something wrong.It means I'm doing the will of the Great Spirit during these times of testing. I need to pray constantly to keep a good attitude.Great Spirit, this I know - You will never leave me, only my doubting makes it seem like You do. This I know - Your love is always dependable, only my doubting makes it seem like You do. Today remove the doubts from my belief system and allow me to stand straight and see You with straight eyes.

Elder's Meditation

Elder's Meditation"Listen to all the teachers in the woods. Watch the trees, the animals, and all living things - you'll learn more from them than from books."--Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE

praying.jpg

Nature is a living example of how communities live in harmony. If you go into the forest or mountain and sit still and watch, ask yourself, what lessons are being taught?Then watch how the animals conduct themselves. The trees could represent diversity. The flowers could represent people. Notice how everything in nature assists one another. See how balance works. See how conflict is handled.Can you see acts of forgiveness? Can you spot respect? Nature is full of wisdom if we will only consider her to be our teacher.My Creator, today let me learn from nature.
