My Soul gave me good counsel
My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me not to measure time by saying,
"It was yesterday, and will be tomorrow." Before my Soul taught me, I
imagined the past as an era not to be met with, and the future as an age
that I would never witness. But now I know that in the brief moment of
the present, all time exists, including everything that is in time — all
that is eagerly anticipated, achieved, or realized.

animal love :: Christian the lion
In 1969 a young Australian, John Rendall and his friend Ace Bourke,
bought a small lion cub from Harrods pet department, which was then
legal. 'Christian' was kept in the basement of a furniture shop on the
Kings Road in Chelsea, the heart of the swinging sixties. Loved by all,
the affectionate cub ate in a local restaurant, played in a nearby
graveyard, but was growing fast...
A chance encounter with Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna led to a new life for Christian. He came to live in a huge enclosure and to sleep in a caravan at their Surrey home. Then in 1971 he was flown to Kenya, his ancestral home, and returned to the wild by lion-man George Adamson. Nine months later in 1972, John and Ace returned to Kora in Kenya. This clip is of their reunion at that time.

love matters
"Valentine’s Day is not about finding the
perfect mate or having the perfect date or celebrating exclusivity.
Valentine’s Day is about publicly announcing that love matters, sexual
health matters, community matters, friends matter, and that sexual
energy can be a creative force of good for overall well-being, healing,
and empowerment."

my love
My love, you are closer to me than myself,
you shine through my eyes.
Your light is brighter than the Moon.
Step into the garden
so all the flowers, even the tall poplar
can kneel before your beauty.
Let your voice silence the lily
famous for its hundred tongues.
When you want to be kind you are
softer than the soul but when you withdraw
you can be so cold and harsh.
Dear one,
you can be wild and rebellious but
when you meet him face to face
his charm will make you docile like the earth.
Throw away your shield and bare your chest
there is no stronger protection than him.
That's why when the Lover withdraws
from the world he covers all the cracks in the wall,
so the outside light cannot come though.
He knows that only the inner light
illuminates his world...!
Rumi

With a 26% unemployment rate and more than half of under-25-year-olds without jobs, an unemployment office in Spain is an understandably gloomy place to spend the day. You can only imagine what people were thinking when a flashmob broke out into a heartwarming performance of The Beatles hit, Here Comes the Sun.

the everything dance
"I like to live in the sound of water, in the feel of mountain air.
A sharp reminder hits me: this world is still alive; it stretches out
there shivering toward its own creation, and I'm a part of it. Even
my breathing enters into an elaborate give-and-take, this bowing
to sun and moon, day or night, winter, summer, storm, still –- this
tranquil chaos that seems to be going somewhere. This wildernesswith a great peacefulness in it. This motionless turmoil, this everything dance."
