Sometimes we need to listen to hear when our heart is in silence,
Sometimes we need to stop thinking and hear what our heart is saying,
Sometimes we need to be in silence to listen to what God is saying,
I know when my heart says all these, then I stop and I listen as the silence of my heart illumines...
~ Lisa M.
My Heart Says to My Mind
My mind says to my heart:
"Will you please praise God for me?"
My heart says to my mind:
"Will you please pray to God
To bless me?"
~ Sri Chinmoy
Sometimes being so sporadic pays-off, sometimes my heart dictates my mind to create a poem what my heart dictates in an instant. I listen in silence when God speaks and my mind command my hand to write... truly from a heart's beat and mind. It dictates God's gifts & blessings. Happy Week-end to all! Have a blessed Sunday.

Silence Illumines ~
Peerless Rope ~
Our lives are like ball of entwined ropes, we start with one cord. Slowly we build it up by adding more cords to make a ball. We can make it colorful or make it black & white. We weave our own dreams, hope, faith and love with it. Never a perfect one, we go through loops, wrong ends, or frustrations because we cannot complete; but no matter what there is always success because we believe.
Whenever I end up with loops & ends, we simply slip into as I collect boundless strength; as we are humanities peerless rope.
I am the only one that can stop myself from finishing it with great confidence from my God above as he leads me to finish it. No matter what obstacle I face, with the rope of faith to walk along the outer road, I will secure myself to run the length of the inner road because I TRUST. ~ Lisa M.

"Peace Be With You " ~
An afternoon spent with my son today, It has been a gorgeous warm day. Except that it rained again for a bit in the afternoon. Well, this is Vancouver I guess I don't have to complain. NOT in my best mood to process images, I guess I am just dragging myself to do it. :0(
But when I am reminded that the sun's glimpse through my window wakes me up every morning, I am thankful that I am still ALIVE and I can still see the beautiful things around me. God gave me the talent to create beautiful things whether be it a painting or a picture I am very thankful for the chances I have in life. Thankful that I live freely & peacefully. Thankful that I live in a beautiful surroundings full of gardens, mountains, beautiful sky, fresh-air and an abundant life full of blessings.
I would like to express my appreciation by sharing my images to my beloved family & friends.
Peace Be With You!
Confidence
What is confidence?
Your love for your real nature.
What is confidence?
The destruction of your negative thoughts.
What is confidence?
The transformation of imagination
Into reality. ~ Sri Chinmoy
Journey ~
Lack of money
Delays your world-journey.
Lack of love
Delays your life-journey.
Lack of aspiration
Delays your God-journey.
Yet if you can remain happy,
Money-seeds will grow in you,
Love-river will flow through you,
Aspiration-mountain will wait for you ~ Sri Chinmoy

O My Heart
O my heart,
I am exceedingly happy today.
Do you know why?
Today I have completely passed through
The longest dry desert of my doubting mind,
And now I am being blessed
By the beauty of your
God-fragrance-garden ~ Sri Chinmoy

Keep me safe, O God; you are my hope ~
I saw the Lord ever before me,
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted;
my flesh, too, will dwell in hope,
because you will not abandon my soul to the nether world,
nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.
You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence. Acts 2: 25-28
Have a blessed Easter Monday!
Admiralty Light House~
Beautiful sunset over Fort Casey's big guns stood watch over the entrance to Puget Sound for decades. Today they watch over a breath-taking view of the Olympic mountains, Port Townsend ferry, shipping lanes, and even the ocassional Orca whales.
Built in 1861 and rebuilt in 1903, the lighthouse guided tall ships toward the Whidbey Island shore where they could fill their sails with wind. It was the last brick lighthouse designed by renowned German architect Carl Leick - its walls 18 inches thick to withstand the earthquakes that shake western Washington.
Admiralty Head's Fresnel lens was extinguished in 1922, but the lighthouse today welcomes visitors, weddings and tour parties with the help of dedicated volunteers. Enjoy our rich historical exhibits, browse our gift shop, and help preserve and restore Admiralty Head Lighthouse by becoming a member of Keepers of Admiralty Head Lighthouse.
This website includes lighthouse photos, history, exhibits, events, tours, directions and contact information, and links to other resources for lighthouse aficionados, and for visitors to northern Puget Sound, Whidbey Island and the Coupeville area.
Admiralty Head Lighthouse is owned by Washington State Parks Commission and kept open in partnership with Washington State University Island County Extension Lighthouse Docent Program.
