When we don’t know how the next chapter will end

Day after day, we are confronted with all kinds of issues that can keep us busy at that moment, but also for longer than a day.

How we view all these issues will occupy and make us our day but also our many years of life…. We need to realise that we have a choice in how much we are influenced by the people and events around us.

Whether we should believe in miracles is another matter, but they can exist and they can happen to us. We must dare to believe in them and dare to move mountains.

“Life may cut you down, yet your roots are strong beneath.
You will rise once more.”

~ Alec Depledge ❤

Whatever happens to us, we have to keep holding onto hope.

Our peace, abiding peace, comes from On High!

Text & image source: Soul Healing Mystics’ Light – Tumblr photography

If we look at the world today, it doesn’t look much brighter than at the time of the first qualified female watchmaker in the Netherlands. The catechisation course teacher who also started a boy scout club for girls and grew up in a family hiding Jews, and ended up with her sister Betsie via the Oranjehotel and camp Vught in the German concentration camp Ravensbrück, was not afraid to send thoughts of peace and hope into the world with her pen..

She who saw misery and healing up close, knew all too well what the value of the inner being was and how we could keep strong by keeping our eyes on the good and the Supreme.

Need to say Peace, be still!

Image source: Andrew Ezeudegbe

Each of us lives under different living conditions. One has it a bit easier than the other, but everyone has their own problems.

In our brain, a lot of thoughts may rush past. Especially now that it is time for autumn storms, where we see the trees swishing back and forth while they have to unload their discoloured leaves.
Even though it can sometimes go wild outside and we hear vultures in the wind, we have to let our thoughts settle in private. As a calm sea, we must float peacefully through life.

Fleeing from all the earthly violence, Swaying on the gentle waves of time, let’s drift further to quiet places where peace can be found.

Peace found walking on the shore

Man sometimes has to go outside to ‘blow out’ and to relax in nature. A good place for this is the sea. Especially during this period of the year, it can sometimes blow well there and one has to fight against the wind. A long walk in this autumn weather can do such a virtue and completely change the senses.

War and peace, are still a problem in our world

Even though we have been spared from wars in our own areas for several years already now, we still see many war zones around us.

Trees Facing Wintertime

We had some warmer weather than usual, but at last, the time has come that dead leaves start to fall,

Yielding gently to the call
Of the autumn wind.
Half reluctantly they go,
Falter, waver to and fro,
Glancing oft behind. {Ruby Archer}

Though our surroundings are full of houses, luckily here and there we might still find some trees standing erect. Now the time has come that the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars, not willing to give in to the winds which wants them to throw down. Some trees bend, others keep upright, proudly looking forward to the season when they will flaunt their leaves again.

For now, they are standing proudly, leaving the light caressing their branches, whilst giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfilment,

May hope bloom in your heart in the way it can inspire and energise others

Even in bad times we still have to look for a better future, hoping for better times for ourselves and for those far away. May hope inspire you to reach out to others and to share your hope and love.
May hope give you the necessary energy to shine so that it also can bring energy to others around you and peace to their mind, love to their heart, and calmness to their spirit.

Life is so transient…

* Life is so transient, finite and fragile hat there is no time to hate anyone. photo credit: https://www.flickr.com/people/jaegerundsammler/ BlackTailedSkimmer * * * * Text and image source: The birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0XCrQkeyyjmMq8qLK2o3fuACxpixRaKJgYcodAPtvVzeDiqxZHJrcdpx2ebXz3k4el&id=100050245220194&mibextid=Nif5oz

Life is so transient…

In a lightflash life can so be ended. Much too often we loose too much energy on negative vibes and having our mind on actions and people who are not worth our concerns. Their jealousy, negativeness and hate against us can only pull us down. So we better focus us on the better things in life, and concentrate on the positive side of life.
