... trying Higher ...



... this bilingual (FR-EN) blog for storing miscellaneous elements including a few copies of articles or book excerpts (that I found particularly interesting or inspiring or reflecting my own feelings...), old and new (some family) photos, and of course my notes, thoughts, own writing, and links to family blogs ... one could say "a personal scrapbook". I found writing diaries or journals or blogs (now for nearly 10 years) can be really therapeutic besides a feeling of connection. NOTERS WELCOME.

Peace and Beauty and a favourite Poet ...

"You cannot know the meaning of your life until you are connected to the Power that created you." (Shri Mataji Devi)

"It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the Earth, and in contemplation of her beauties, to know a sense of wonder and humility."

There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You can find that deep place of silence right inside your Self, wherever you are. ~~Elizabeth Kübler-Ross




one of my favourites : an Irish poet and Mystic :

BY THE MARGIN OF THE GREAT DEEP ...

WHEN the breath of twilight blows to flame the misty skies,
All its vaporous sapphire, violet glow and silver gleam,
With their magic flood me through the gateway of the eyes;
I am one with the twilight's dream.

When the trees and skies and fields are one in dusky mood,
Every heart of man is rapt within the mother's breast:
Full of peace and sleep and dreams in the vasty quietude,
I am one with their hearts at rest.

From our immemorial joys of hearth and home and love
Stray'd away along the margin of the unknown tide,
All its reach of soundless calm can thrill me far above
Word or touch from the lips beside.

Aye, and deep and deep and deeper let me drink and draw
From the olden fountain more than light or peace or dream,
Such primaeval being as o'erfills the heart with awe,
Growing one with its silent stream.

George William Russell ('A. E.')


A peaceful scene of greens ...and lambs ... (NZ)
