As I special treat we have included some beautiful images taken in Wales by James Rabiola. My thanks go to James for allowing his work to be displayed here.

"What you are aware of, you are in control of; what you are not aware, of is in control of you."
Anthony de Mello

"Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you."
Carlos Castaneda

"We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace".
Michael Franti and Spearhead

"Arrange whatever pieces come your way."
Virginia Wolf

"I believe that humanity is ready for a transformation of consciousness, an inner flowering so radical and profound that compared to it the flowering of plants, no matter how beautiful, is only pale in reflection."
Eckhart Tolle

"Spirituality means waking up.  Most people, even though they don't know it, are asleep.  They're born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up.  They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence".
Anthony de Mello

“Every moment of your life is infinitely creative
And the Universe is endlessly bountiful.
Just put forth a clear enough request
And everything your heart desires
Must come to you”
Mahatma Gandhi

“There is only one journey. Going inside yourself.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

"The rose is in the compost, and the compost is in the rose"
Thich Nhat Hanh

My Favorite Rumi Poem

There is some kiss we want with our whole lives,
the touch of Spirit on the body.

Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell.

And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild Darling!

At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.

Close the language-door and open the love-window.

The moon won't use the door, only the window.
Rumi

"In us, there is a river of feelings, in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for its existence. To observe it, we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears."
Thich Nhat Hanh

A Special Maori Message

These words of wisdom are taken from one of the last books I read while based in New Zealand. Called "Te Wheke – a celebration of infinite wisdom" written by Dr. Rangimarie Turuki Pere CBE. Her salutation:

He Mihi – Salutations from the Author

Aio ki te Aorangi - Peace to the Universe
Aroha ki te Aorangi - Love to the Universe
Koa ki te Aorangi - Joy to the Universe
Pono ki te Aorangi - Truth to the Universe

Kia tau ko te kahukura - May the violet flame
Te wairua kore here - the spirit of freedom
Te kawe i te tika - that upholds justice
Me te pomo - and truth, prevail

He tohu aroha tenei - This is a gift of love
Ki te ao whanui - to the whole world
He maumahara ki te- it is a token of my regard
whaea a Papatuanuku - for Papatuanuku – Earth Mother
