I’m not a Botticelli Venus just a wee person in Scotland who thinks that each of us has to choose unity and peace in our own life. I’m choosing to focus on beauty, truth and joy because I believe that only an open loving heart can heal us and our Earth 🌎.
Two Anglo-Saxon disc brooches from the Galloway Hoard which was found during 2014 at Balmaghie in Kirkcudbrightshire. Buried at the beginning of the 10th century, the hoard is now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland. 📸 My own, #SaxonSunday #GallowayHoard
Took my daughter to the library for the first time today. She got her own library card. Picked out a ton of books to borrow. I’m so proud.
I was walking my dog tonight and ran into a neighbor who has severe dementia. He’s such a nice guy and said he likes me because he can remember me. We laughed and walked and talked for a while and even if he doesn’t remember these conversations, I will.
The guy who did such an incredible job with the Reflecting Pool, Ballroom, Kennedy Center, National Mall, and Great American Fair is going to redesign our warships. What could go wrong?
“A marriage is more likely to succeed if the woman follows her own star and remains conscious of her wholeness than if she constantly concerns herself with her husband’s star and his wholeness.” -Carl Jung Conversations with C.G. Jung, Page 51

I turned 74 today. Making it this long and in reasonable good health gave me joy. So did the chocolate cake I made myself.
What is something that brought you Joy today? I helped a friend pick peppers. He's red/green colorblind and the peppers he's growing are dark green before turning bright red. I'd never considered how colorblindness could affect a gardener. I'm glad I could help and hang out with a friend.

Depth psychology demonstrated that we do not have just one will, consciously controlled, but many motivational centers that move us often unconsciously and that may at times work at cross-purposes,~Keiron Le Grice
To have the courage to accept a quality which one does not like in oneself & which one has chosen to repress for many years, is an act of great courage. But if one does not accept the quality, then it functions behind one’s back.~M-Louise von Franz, Shadow & Evil in Fairy Tales

After a very busy few months with work, I'm catching up on my book reviews over the next few weeks. This is one of those books that feels like much more than a book; it's a piece of history. A powerful, heartbreaking and incredibly important book that everyone should read. 💙📚
I will just check and see if the squash are ripe, I said 🌱
“People who’ve had any genuine spiritual experience always know that they don’t know. They are utterly humbled before mystery… in wonder at eternity and depth, and a Love, which is incomprehensible to the mind.”~Richard Rohr, Falling Upward

(2/2) If entities can do this in a moment, they may go forward in a moment, and, thus, were this to occur in a major cycle, indeed, the third-density planet would be vacated at the end of that cycle. – Ra

“As any change must begin somewhere, it is the single individual who will experience it and carry it thru. The change must indeed begin with an individual; it might be any one of us. Nobody can afford to look round & to wait for somebody else ...” ~ Carl Jung, The Symbolic Life.
