If you missed it, see PICTURE
TO PONDER - ISSUE 56 for the discussion on the
changes.
TODAY'S PHOTO -
a Lantana plant from a neighbor's garden.
In keeping with our practice of selecting a photo that brings
you wishes for the weekend, I chose this one, representing
the desire for you to have a bright weekend with fun, variety
and fulfillment.
The several colors on one stem also acts as a completion to
this week, where we started out, in Issue
53 with the Yesterday,
Today and Tomorrow flower with two purples and
a white on a single stem.
As an exercise for the weekend, observe some of your experiences
and pause from time to time to check how many different perspectives
can you pull from just one experience. If they are not already
such, I invite you to you transform them all into bright and
empowering ones.
NEXT WEEK'S PHOTOS -
for those of you who would like to be seeing more than
flower photos, I will move back into birds and other Nature
shots. There is a beautiful wood duck in the new Green Cay
Wetlands that has been waiting to visit with you.
READER COMMENTS - YESTERDAY'S PICTURE TO PONDER- Issue
56
"Exquisite! So delicate and so powerful!"
"Nature is absolutely amazing. I never realized
just how beautiful an hibiscus is, and I doubt that there
are many in this world that have ever looked at an hibiscus
in this degree of depth. The camera does an amazing
job of displaying the colors the color transitions, the patterns
and the detail it is absolutely gorgeous. And
yet, it occurs to me that if one continued to magnify the
image, the beauty would probably be lost to the eye."
"Today's picture brings a sense of relaxation to me.
Looking at the beauty and splendor of this hibiscus makes
me think of the wonder of our Creator. If He could care so
much about a flower, how much more does He care for us - created
in His own image."
"I love the way the darker color fans out into the lighter,
more delicate pink. I also get the feeling that the deeper
color would feel like velvet to the touch. The inner part
(pistil??? stamens? If you're going to keep presenting flowers,
I may have to brush up on botany.) gives me the impression
that a couple of finger taps would shower everything with
"gold" dust. "
Thank you for sharing your experience of the photo with us

TELECLASS

Tapping into the Transformative Power of Anger offered
by Adela Rubio, who states:
"Many of us were trained to believe that anger is
a negative emotion. It was something to be denied, suppressed,
ignored. We were taught to hide it from others and also from
ourselves. It wasnt nice, it wasnt good.
What if it held the seed of tremendous power? What if we approached
emotions in general as e-motion energy in motion? What
if our bodies, in their immense intelligence, were trying
to stir us into awareness? What if that awareness
was information about our Passion?."
