You Are an Omelette |
 You are an outrageous and bold person. You enjoy taking risks, even if you end up falling flat on your face. You are very open to the world, and you love to mash up the different things you love. You leap before you look, and you try to leap as often as you can. You believe in embracing opportunities. You are a fascinating and colorful. You've lived an interesting life, and you have lots of stories to tell. |

You Are Fantasy / Sci Fi |
 You have an amazing imagination, and in your mind, all things are possible. You are open minded, and you find the future exciting. You crave novelty and progress. Compared to most people, you are quirky and even a bit eccentric. You have some wacky ideas. And while you may be a bit off the wall, there's no denying how insightful and creative you are. |
mmmmm Interesting I don't read sci-fi Books and it took a while but i can say I am into sci-fi movies and series, really like the relationship element to it. Not sure how eccentric I really am but otherwise I would say that the description is very accurate.

Talking Becoming Prayer
Spirit of hope, healing, delivering peace,
awaiting the faint breathe to grace my skin
coaxing me, to sit, be in your presence
You call me to be still, to tell you my cares
my strife, my pressing worries
tentatively, at first, I begin to speak
all my frustrations tumble out
You encourage my faith
to share the bigger issues
a passing fear has been dismissed
I remember I am able to tell you everything
Lord God, you remind me you will always listen
so long as I have time to talk.

Way of Poetry
My way –
no-one on the road
and it’s autumn, getting dark
His "Way of Poetry," the path he had chosen for his life, was an absolute commitment to seeking religious enlightenment through working at haiku, and he wanted his disciples to understand that the finest form of it had a spirit of "lightness."
Basho died over 300 years ago, on the road, in a remote part of the country, in autumn. He lay ill with stomach pains for several days, and his admirers came from far and wide to see him. One of his disciples took down his last poem, which in Japanese tradition is important as the "death poem."
Ill on my journey –
dreams roam
parched moors
Click here for more about Basho and learning Haiku

Which Way?
Looking within
Searching
Getting lost
Stumbling around
Abandoning the search
Pretending
Hanging to the façade
Reaching out
Deep within
and
Beyond heavens
Nothing is illuminating the path
The Search continues
I beat my own way
I will not stop
I will not give up
I will continue along ways
that are known and unknown
that are scary
that are exciting .........

Living Green Fair
Had a great day out yesterday at Castle Epsie. We did paper making, helped with the builidng of a reed Elk, make dens with sticks, ate organic cookies......

We walked through an Art gallery, various stalls and had drinks over looking the lake.
It was a beautiful sunny day and we actually had a picnic!!
Ended the day listing to harp recital.

It was excellent - just what my spirits needed.

My yellow Story
HEADs: YELLOWGrowing up, we looked forward to Christmas, not just our presents but our Christmas outfit for church. That would become our main church clothes for the following year. One Christmas I got a yellow dress, with yellow sandals, yellow hairbands and a yellow bag. I loved the bag. By the end of the following year I had had enough of yellow for years to come. I can gladly say that I have made peace with the colour yellow and have to yellow tops in my wardrobe.
Wearing Yellow - Cheerful and Happy
Yellow is the perfect color to wear whenever your spirits needs an uplift.
Yellow carries the same healing qualities associated with the sun. It offers warmth, optimism, and light. All shades of yellows and golds will cheer you up and help make you feel happier. Wearing yellow out into the world makes an affirmation statement. For certain, yellow is a perky color!
Realize no single color is entirely "off-limits" due to your coloring. It often depends on the hue, color make-up and so on of the garment. You might look horrible in a mustard but radiant in a pastel yellow, for instance.
Psychology Yellow
It is associated with the intellectual side of the mind, and the expression of thoughts. It therefore aids the powers of discernment and dis-crimination, memory and clear thinking, decision making and good judgment. It also helps good organization, assimilation of new ideas, and the ability to see different points of view. It builds self-confidence and encourages an optimistic attitude. Conversely, dull yellow can be the colour of fear
