Photo of the Day & 2011 National Geographic Photo Contest Winner: Dragonfly in the Rain
Photograph by Shikhei Goh

This photo was taken when I was taking photos of other insects, as I normally did during macro photo hunting. I wasn’t actually aware of this dragonfly since I was occupied with other objects. When I was about to take a picture of it, it suddenly rained, but the lighting was just superb. I decided to take the shot regardless of the rain.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Astrologically, this Solstice occurs tomorrow morning, at around 5 o'clock (EST). However, many are holding a ceremony tonight. Wherever you are in the world, whenever you choose to free the time for yourself, focus your attention on your heart and hold an intention for joy to the world, goodwill toward all, and peace on Earth. Thank you!

There is an amazing year ahead of us: How do you choose to experience it? Here is a platform you have just anchored in your heart. Congratulations!

Disappointed

Working with the reoccurring behavioral and thought patterns, namely, habits today. What comes to mind first is disappointment: I am continuously disappointed with people. My experiences seem to be marked by that feeling everywhere from a short conversation to friendship to most intimate relationships. And yet I know that I can change my point of view at will just by opening my awareness to the true nature of those I encounter on my path. So, I decide to take a closer look.

Let's assume that the disappointment I feel is a mere reflection of a feeling a person I am interacting with is carrying. Are they disappointed with themselves? But it is nearly impossible for my rational mind to accept an idea that a successful according to a society's definition person I am looking at can have such a feeling. Where is the source? Believe you or not, there could be none. Sometimes we hold a feeling or an idea plainly out of a habit.

Once, or twice (it couldn't have been more than that, right?) in our childhood we were told that we are a disappointment in one way or another. I am sure it had never happened to you, but you might know someone with such an experience. And so, since it is painful to look at those beliefs and to be aware of them, we carry that baggage with us further and further into our lives. It affects our decisions, our external relationships, but first and foremost our relationship with self.

The only way to clear our reality of the old habits is to become conscious about it in order to release it. No need to analyze it or to reprimand yourself for holding them for a period of time. The time to let go is now, and today is a good day to do so. And then uplift yourself in any and every way you can. Watch the world around you change at the spot as it reflects your transformation back to you as your own beauty and worthiness. Choose to enjoy it, too!

P.S. I did it today, and what a change it was! I feel truly gifted, for the world showed me graciousness, beauty, and kindness, and I could not remember what was so disappointing about and around me before. I feel gratitude, I feel appreciation, and I feel blessed to be in this world, with you, people. Thank you for being who you are: You are wonderful!

Your World Is A Creation of Yours

There is love, only love, and nothing outside of love. You are love, and there is nothing outside of you. There is only you. The whole world is but a projection of your love.

From The Children: In The Beginning Was The Heart

We love you beyond words, and we see you and hold you in light. Please understand that the light is creation of the Heart, not the other way around. You have to be in your heart to be the light that you are. Everything starts with the beginning. Begin each day by checking with your heart, your well-being, your feelings. As your physical heart becomes much more than a muscle in the physical body - that is as your awareness expands beyond that notion - you become all that you allow [yourself] to be aware about. So, just allow as you stay in the Heart and hold hands with All-That-Is. The enormous beauty of being can be seen from where we are watching; join in with us, in the Heart. Welcome. We will welcome you. We welcome you now.

From the Children, transmitted on 11-30-11.

From The Children of Planet Earth

We do not care what journal you choose to record our message to. All we ask is that you listen to us with an open heart, and you allow your consciousness in the physical body to accept that message at all levels of your understanding. As with everything else, we ask you to let go of any filters your rational mind holds and intentionally stay open to receive. Here we Are.

Here we Are, and as you watch us we will tell you what is most important for us here on Earth at this moment of change for All-That-Is.

Opening your awareness fully to all the aspects and dimensions of the consciousness existing in Oneness of All-That-Is is essential at this moment, on this step. What you are doing is not just your personal growth and an adventure into some fairy land. What you do is opening the awareness of All-That-Is in the world of form - any form and every form - and connecting as a result the consciousness built into form with the one that knows who you are, what you are, and how you are in Oneness with All. Without it the consciousness that currently exists in form remains trapped, captured, and in [the] darkness.

As soon as you are able to see - and that is as soon as you start to get glimpses of the light - you are able to transcribe, translate, transmit this knowledge to those around you, to anyone and anything coming in contact with you. Such is your job, your mission, your passion.

We tell you nothing that you as your Soul do not already know. But we are making it clear to you that the time to know and remember is now. We do not care what actions you take on this path, but we tell you there is no longer any room for self doubt or self diminishing in any sense. Your awareness of self is clear now, and your only job is to support and sustain it. We watch you, and we are here to support you.

We can talk to you forever, and we are never going to be "done". But we want you to apply your knowing - not into your actions though but into your sense of well-being and allowing. What you are manifesting and what you are able to manifest can come into congruency only by you experiencing your self-love and self-worth. Do you see that? Do you see why every source contacting you pushes the same button that says Self-Love? Your appreciation of self takes you a long way, it takes you all the way to your unlimited potential as a creator, as one with the creator. Grounding All-That-Is in you, in your being in form, in your body takes just that: you appreciating you in form, a combination of physical and non-physical - shall we add, a perfect combination, for it is a perfect creation of you and your Soul, you see.

Take upon your adventure in form in full and with an open heart. Shine and shy away not when the light of yours shines upon you. Be bright. We are.

A Celebration

According to some sources, today is the end of the Mayan Calendar that have been keeping time records for some 16 billion years. According to my calendar, there are two weeks left before the 11-11-11 gateway. And, according to my family records, it is our anniversary today. So, a celebration is in order - as it is every day of our life.

Just look at the sky, look at the sun (use your phone camera though), and look yourself in the eyes (use a mirror, or the eyes of a loved one). Do you see the beauty in all that is?

P.S. A few hours after I finished this post, today's title from Paulo Coelho's blog caught my attention: Don't scold the Lover. With a Rumi's poem, his post is in perfect resonance with the energy of the day for me. Grateful, sharing:

On Good and Bad

There seems to be increasingly less time these days for the multitude of things we used to do. There is certainly more time needed to observe and reflect, and to simply be. Somewhere in-between there lies our daily life.

Sometime between collecting my son from school and driving him to his cello lesson, I grab a pair of jeans in my closet. Where there is no time to think, there is always a moment to feel. I feel the jeans are hugging me with more passion than before. I look at them; those I did not wear since August, and they certainly shrank in the two months time in a closet. Yet, there is no time to think, so I jump in the car and off we go.

Mere two minutes later we hit the traffic. The lack of movement signals to the brain that it can rush into the thinking process, and so it does. It grabs the last thought by the tail, and I hear myself thinking out loud, "My butt is getting bigger and bigger."

"Is it a good thing, or a bad thing?" an immediate response from the back seat follows.

I laugh so hard that I am glad the car cannot move much. If there is a problem, it is clearly in my head. In the head is where we create and sustain our ideas. It is us who make them problematic. In the heart is where we feel and fulfill our desires. It is us who create and enjoy them.

Had we too had more clarity as children? And whose ideas about good and bad are those? Not mine. Yours?
