Feng Shui ; Facts or Frauds?

http://www.ubersite.com/m/53015

Empty Mind, No Mind, whatever you want to call it, is an awesome idea/practice. So very very awesome. What it has to do with interior decorating, no one knows.Because there is nothing to be known....

Most Western ideas about feng shui are utterly wrong and generally based on a variety of weird concepts pulled from European folklore and New Age marketing — which are in turn marketed as "contemporary and practical" feng shui.

Despite all… Continue

Communication Between Cultures

The back ground music by Omar Akram

www.omarakram.com

Omar:"In a world where communication and understanding between cultures is sometimes difficult, I hope my music can serve as a form of international language that crosses any cultural barriers. Having lived and traveled in many countries, I have come to realize that we need to embrace aspects of each culture that make them unique and special. What some people see as problematical differences, I see as our planet's entire cultural… Continue

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES

"If Tomorrow Never Comes"

If I knew it would be the last time

that I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time

that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss

and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word,

so I… Continue

The Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow and Star Children

The Indigo Children have been incarnating on the Earth for the last 100 years. The early Indigos were pioneers and wayshowers. After World War II, a significant number were born, and these are the Indigo adults of today. However, in the 1970s a major wave of Indigos was born, and so we have a whole generation of Indigos who are now in their late twenties and early thirties who are about to take their place as leaders in the world. Indigos continued to born up to about 2000, with increasing… Continue

MEXICAN ORCHID FOR LA FLORITA Copyright by Michael (Miguel) Forbus

Mexican Orchid For La Florita

P

aco picked this orchid for La Florita, his love, during the Festival of the Dead in Oaxaca. He was to meet her in the Zócalo at Zaruela's. He waited and waited and paid the mariachi to play Una Paloma Blanca over and over. They didn't mind. He also was heavy handed with the liter of El Presidente he had at the table.

He cradled the orchid as he would a wounded bird and splashed ice water on it for hours and finally it began to… Continue

Miguel and Paloma

Miguel and Paloma

M

y beautiful Paloma, there was a time in my life when I was not calm. I was a vessel with a tattered sail tossed about in an ominous sea.

As a young man, I had become quite restless and when I finally was of age I went to sea. It was no place for a young boy, but the closeness to death every week helped me grow the body of a man and the mind followed. We were a rough bunch and I always tried to remain a gentleman. I studied while at sea and… Continue

LAVENDER ORCHIDS FOR THE QUEEN OF LIGHT copyright by Michael (Miguel) Forbus

Lavender Orchids For The Queen of Light

I

was born without sight in San Paolo. My dear parents went to God shortly thereafter from the tainted water in the street. I lived in a box of a house in the Thieves’ Ghetto. I had to beg for food or visit the garbage heap as a last resort. I always thought I could see shadows and light but probably not. The darkness was bad for the child and the adult as they had to lead me through the barrio to the piles of garbage that we ate. I had… Continue

The world said : You are delicate, you can't do this

My mind said : No problem, I can

Love In a Room in San Miguel de Allende

D

o you remember coming back from the long hike to the ruins, burning from the sun, to this beautiful room full of evening light, sheer mosquito netting and the Aztec sun orchids that adorned our room? My only flora, do you remember? We had a few cold Negra Modelos and you put lemons in yours, as you cared not for the yuppie lime. I always laughed at that. You were always so different than anyone I ever knew.

You laid the vase on the bed cradled in the pillows and just stared… Continue

A quote from my favorite Chilean Poet, Pablo Neruda.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.”

Chance Meeting

I woke way before dawn today and again my heart was telling me lies. Before I had the morning tea, my head began to remind me how old I was. The sadness washed over me like the Scottish rain in the Highlands. I had been in a state of solitude for half of my life and it looked like the other half was headed that way. I had a stone house I had built and a sturdy farm horse. As always, I planted a sumptuous garden, as blooms are food for the eyes.

I needed to take a long walk to… Continue

Persevering Obstacles - The Art of Tearing Down Walls

Personally and professionally, most people encounter obstacles in their paths to growth and success. There are times when the size and number of roadblocks can overshadow your vision, making goals and projects seem insurmountable. It is much easier to step over a molehill, than to climb Mt. Everest.

Being able to assess, adapt and overcome are important qualities for individuals and teams to succeed at conquering difficulties. The manner in which we approach situations often dictates… Continue

El Arte de Dios

He pintado

ramas enjoyadas

en las ventanas del corazón

y cojines de terciopelo

sobre los sillones sacros

de la pobreza…

Sobre las paredes del boudoir

he pintado con acuarelas:

cumbres inviolables,

hayales y jardines,

pastizales y fincas.

Levanté con cuidado

balaustradas de mármol

sobre desniveles morales,

y decoré con tartán

el Arte de Dios.

"The colour of illumination " Poetry by Elisabetta Errani Emaldi

The colour of illumination

Back in the far away time of the universe,

a pearl of sensual pleasure falls between two

parentheses and closes the gate of the earthy

deceit leaving grow in my summer garden,

under the olive tree of peace, a sea

of orange flowers,

the colour of illumination.

Universal love to the beat of the heart that awakens.

The refrain from selfish and… Continue

Science & Art - Reality - Proof & Perception

Earlier I used to wonder why there are different parameters in Science & Art to judge a "GOOD" work. Now, I feel, these are the reasons for the differences:

In Science, a person is treated good & given importance & respect based on his "work" irrespective of his age or experience. Because all scientific work can be proved & all scientific theories can stand the tests of scrutiny. Science is based on proof & reality.

However, in Art a person is treated good in a… Continue
