a NEW photo of my week #48
Happy Monday! Well, we just returned from a road trip/family reunion, and I have hundreds of photos I need to sift through, but thought I’d share this Tahoe sunset to start with.
Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW!

Love is Our Religion
Earth is my Body
Remember we must care for and nurture Our Planet as Ourselves
Our One
As One
One Love One Heart One Earth One Mind One Breath
One step at a Time
Consciously Caring for each other
For this special Ball we call Home
Every Tree Every Flower
The Oceans The Rocks We have the power
The Rivers and Sky We hold our Hopes up High
The insects Animals Human Beings Sun and Moon
Fellow Planets and stars so deep and so far
Kissing the Earth Every step with our Soles
Each Touch Each Glance
Communing
A Temple A Treasure A Privilege of Beauty A Shrine A Sacred Gift
Awakened hearts Open
Being praying Transforming
Change and Healing
For Every Creature in Our Creator in Our Creation
—-Jessica Broomby

Human Face Made From the Words, “Allah and Muhammad”
Give to the soil
What wants to rest in the earth
Give to the river
what wants to be dissolved in water
Give to the sun
What wants to be burned in fire
Give to the wind
what wants to be dispensed in air
Enough despair
Enough destruction
Make yourself empty
Purify your body and mind
and
get ready!
Ready to receive
God.
—Anieszka Ledwon

and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Koran.
I follow the religion of Love, whichever way his camels take
My religion and my faith is the true religion.” —Ibn-al-Arabi; translated from thirteenth-century Arabic by Anne and Christopher Fremantle

Only one Word was on my mind
.
As I face myself in the mirror…
I’m looking for holiness within my human face…
that will come along…
.
I was looking deeper than at my face. I was facing myself just as I’d been doing many dozens of times before, but this is what I need to share — it was different this time. I was looking through myself and beyond the past of myself, even faster than the speed of light it was. I was really this time in acceptance that I’ve been doing the best that I can do. I know darn well that nothing that I can or did do or even will do makes me worthy of God’s Grace; no matter if I even by some chance may do one thing even perfectly. In fact, I wouldn’t have to work at it to tear up my mental image of myself doing the best that I can — recalling…
