The simple things are also the most extraordinary things,
and only the wise can see them.©Paulo Coelho
The sea has its pearls
the heaven its stars
But my heart, my heart
my heart has its love 🍃🍃
Nature produces
the greatest results
with the simplest
means. These are
simply the sun,
flowers,
water and
love. 🌿🌿

‘Spring Dawn’
Every flower of every tomorrow,
is a seed well planted
on a winter’s day.
Then, earth awakens.
The wonder of another season.
Bringing colorful flowers,
for Spring’s debut.

Look not for beauty,
nor color of skin,
but, for a heart,
that is loyal within.
For, beauty may fade,
and, skin grow old,
but, a heart that is loyal,
will never end.

I was watching one of my favorite movies O’ Brother Where Art Though,
and remembered a post I had done awhile back. I decided I’d repost it.
The movie is on many t v channels all of the time. I think it’s a classic.
We need a feel good movie right now. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out on enjoying
few hours of fun with a wholesome movie. George Clooney isn’t too bad on the eyes either.
These songs are from the movie. Alision Krauss sings them with a mesmerizing tone.
The Kossoy Sisters have a unique style.

If you have a favorite movie you’d like to share, I’d love to have the recommendation.
You can add it with your comment.
Have a Blessed Sunday …

What child or adult doesn’t enjoy playing with bubbles?
A combination of dish soap or shampoo and water create the liquid that can provide an afternoon of fun.
A thin layer of soap film forms hollow spheres when blown through an object. The bubbles don’t last very long before bursting but children always find it exciting to try and catch one. It’s always been a fun pastime.
Frank @ A Franke Angle hosts Beach Walk Reflections.
Last week, he wrote about bubbles at the beach.
His insightful essays on the topic are a pleasure read and worth a look.

It doesn’t cost much to be happy if the currency of your heart
is the blowing of the breeze and the swaying of the trees.

Namaste
I honor the place in you
in which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you
which is of Love, and of Truth,
of Light and of Peace.
When you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me.
We are One.

Author Don Miguel Ruiz wrote a simple yet powerful book on The Four Agreements. I keep a copy in my library for those times when I forget these four simple steps in life. If you haven’t read it, you’re missing a guide to a simpler way of living.
The First Agreement:
Be Impeccable With Your Word
Don’t Take Anything Personally
Don’t Make Assumptions
Always Do Your Best
Namaste,
Isadora

A tribute today to the great Leonard Cohen on his birthday.
Gone from this world but your words will live on in our hearts.
Thanks for the Dance.

On November 7, the sad news was announced that the prominent poet, novelist, musician, singer, songwriter, and paint artist, Leonard Cohen had died. He was born on September 21,1934 in Westmount, Quebec, Canada.
His work explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality, and personal relationships. He won the Chester Mac Naghten Literary Competition for the poems “Sparrows” and “Thoughts of a Landsman.”
His song “Suzanne” became a hit for Judy Collins who subsequently covered a number of Cohen’s other songs, as well, and was for many years his most covered song. He was also associated with many other performers including Sharon Robinson, Jennifer Warnes, and Anjani Thomas. ©wikipedia
During New York City’s folk scene in Greenwich Village, I had the pleasure of being exposed to his words from other poets who were reciting his poems and aspiring to be as good.
It’s a formidable loss of an incredibly revered visionary artist.
May you Rest in Peace,
Isadora

“Hallelujah” was first released on Cohen’s studio album Various Positions in 1984.
If It Be Your Will
If it be your will that I speak no more
And my voice be still as it was before
I will speak no more, I shall abide until
I am spoken for, if it be your will
If it be your will that a voice be true
From this broken hill, I will sing to you
From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing
From this broken hill all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing
If it be your will, if there is a choice
Let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in Hell
If it be your will to make us well
And draw us near, and bind us tight
All your children here in their rags of light
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill
And end this night, if it be your will, if it be your will
Song Lyrics
