~The name my Father gave me~

Queen of Tara, the Tuatha de Danann
Goddess Eriu,
who led the battle against the Milesians,
and was mortally wounded in the fight.
It is from her that Ireland gets it's name
- Erin, Eire.

Step right up, my muse,
my tea of cup!
Share a thought~
share a dream,
pour yourself a saucer of cream.

Stay a while,
kiss my smile.

Unwind.
I'll be kind.
Blow open my mind
Shall we see what we find?

We are all guests on Mother Planet Earth.
She is wise,
to us, she gave Birth.

My gracious thanks for your time.

Remember, kitty, pup...
A-Muse....
There is only ONE you...
and you are:

SUBLIME!

~Don Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreements

Everything we do is based on agreements we have made -
agreements with ourselves,
with other people,
with God,
with life.
But the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves.
In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are,
how to behave,
what is possible,
what is impossible.
One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth."

When we are ready to change these agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can adopt as guiding principles.
The Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of~
freedom,
true happiness,
and, best of all,
LOVE.

(A Brief Synopsis of )
The Four Agreements

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

We cultivate harmony by providing support
without judgment during periods of success
and consolation without condemnation in periods of failure.

You will give others the gift of autonomy today
when you are amenable to the notion of allowing them to carve their own paths.

The
greatest
lesson
you'll
ever
learn....
Is
to
Love
and
be
Loved
in
Return!

Someone Lovely recently wrote to me:

Answer me, these questions three.
> What, is your name? (real, not psuedo)
> What, is your quest?
> What, is the airspeed velocity of an unladen
> sparrow?

I shall answer
your questions
Tha~ree:

What makes a name real?
or psuedo?
The name we are given at birth or the name
by which we go?

The name my Father gave me is Erin,
but Ireland is what I hope you shall call me
now that we are Friends.

My Quest?

Well, that
certainly depends.

One day it's Love
the next day it's Lust!
One day it's Truth
the next day, Trust....

I have no real mission, no quest, if you may....
I Live Life
moment by moment,
day by day.

The airspeed velocity of an
unladen
sparrow.....?

Hmmm.... that, one
we may never know!

For
up above
the clouds
floating in our Mother's sky..

Birds fly higher than the question:
WHY?

I do believe that anything with feathers and
a song
that is unladen and, therefore,
~ strong
can soar
and soar
to speeds
never clocked
before.

Or, if this sparrow chooses
to simply float and sway,

she
might take each flight,
moment by moment,
and
day
by
day!

In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.”

Recognize the value of what
really matters
in
your
Life.
Are you creating
drama, hatred
or
strife?
Cut it out with
the sharpest knife.

Did you
hug
your
Child today?
Celebrate your Husband
or your
Wife?

Tell me:
What did you touch
today?
What did you carry away?
Did you dance, samba, rumba or
sway?

Did you
for a Friend
some herbal tea steep?
Perhaps
create Treasure
for
another Pirate to keep?

Did you create
Joy
or did you make
another
weep?

What's the worry?
Is the hike up
Treasure Peek
just
too
steep?

Treasure
your
twinkling,
newly pedicured
toes
or the awkward
sun-kissed
freckles on
the
tip of
your
you-nique
nose.

There is no tape by which
to measure
the
abundance
of YOUR
hidden
treasure!!!

Find a
map,
place
a
treasure trap! Snap!

Tea cup your
child's hands
and
clap!

Capture it, see?

Then, swiftly...
Set it
Free!

Treasure you...

I do.

And,
I
certainly
Treasure
Me too.

Change your words
into
TRUTHS.
And then change
that truth into
LOVE!

I am a witch of ancient lore,
I petition these trees, and forest floor.
Converge myself upon this site,
spider weaving, power and might.
Air and Fire, Water and Earth,
aid in my quest, I call you forth.

Aradia, Aradia, I intone,
thrice the power you have shone.
Open my spiral of strength and sorcery,
encompass the soul, you have granted me.

Pentacle of old, stones of deep,
protection around, assistance I seek.
Marry my veins, to this Earth,
Cernunno's I summon you forth.

Steele needles and pins,
red blood of sins.
Buried deep in clandestine dusk,
liquid Venus, scent of musk.
Hear my words from Moon to Moon,
cite the Lord & Lady's Rune
By the law of three times three,
So mote it be....
Twist the bone of the foe that feign friend
til it creaks as it is torn to bend,
shine the light on conscience bright
til rest is not reachable, day or night.
Tip toeing through the forest bound
stomp blooming flowers pushing out of ground.
Find karma black as night
pushed out into the deep, full of fright.
Abandon the calm that cat would know
til only weeds push through where flower did grow.
Black light on orange moon
this karma is calling and
coming soon.

~~Everybody's Fool~~

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool

Turn off your television.
Turn on your
inner vision.
Your outer vision.
See it in your mind's eye.

Where are you?
What is the weather like?
Who's hand are you holding?
Maybe you are strolling by yourself.

Envision the house you live in.
What does your lily pad look like?
Smell like? What colors do you wake to each day?

Envision a job you love.
Envision a boss that shares
your vision. Envision being appreciated for your
smart ideas, your hard work and your vision for the company.

Envision the town you dream of growing old in.
Envision the town you dream of growing young in.

Envision a more peaceful World.
Envision the most important people in your Life
and envision how much they Love you.

Envision a kiss. What does it taste like?
Envision bliss. What does it look like?
Envision this: You can have
any
little (or big)
thing you wish
if
you can
only
envision
it!!

1. Write a Thank You note.
2. Read something that a Child wrote.
3. Take a long and leisurely walk.
4. Have that hard-to-have,.... put-off talk.
5. Soak in a bubble bath with a squeaky yellow duck.
6. Count every little blessing as a stroke of Good Luck.
7. Make my bed with fresh, crisp, white sheets.
8. Appreciate all of the colors at the Farmer's Market from the berries to the beets.
9. Listen to some music that I have never ever heard. When someone speaks, really listen to every single word.
10. Today, when someone says something that hurts me, smile, be silent and grin. Tomorrow when I awake, breathe deep
and
begin
again.

Why do you find yourself single and un-partnered at this point in your LIfe?

Traveling light and free,
being only responsible for
the heart of
ME.
For so many reasons
for all of my soulful seasons.

For learning to live a Life solitary
of need.....to understand why out of loneliness people get
Grinchy relationship Greed.

I can flit and flutter
and fly. I can alight on someone's shoulder
and
they know
that Ireland is
simply
passing by.

When Love finds me,
I suppose my eyes and heart will be open to her Grace.

Til then,
I am learning to love the Mirror image of my
own freckled face.

To Love!
To Love of oneself first and foremost!
To Love,
a toast to that
glorious,
elusive
ghost!

If it's Magic,
then why
can't it be
everlasting?

Like the Sun that always shines...
Like the Poets in
this rhyme?

Like the Galaxies in time?

If it's pleasing,
then why
can't it be
never
ending?

Like the Day that never fells..
Like on
seashores
there are shells....
Like the time
that
always
tells.

It holds the key
to every heart
throughout the
Universe,
It fills you up without
a bite...
and quenches every
thirst.

So, if it's Special
than with it
why aren't we
as careful
as making sure we dress
in style?
Posing pictures with a smile.
As keeping
danger from a child?

It holds the key to every heart
throughout the Universe.
It fills you up without a bite
and
quenches every thirst.

So if it's Magic
why
can't we make it everlasting
like the
life time of the Sun......
It will leave no
heart undone.

For
there's
enough
for
everyone!

~Lyrics courtesy of Stevie Wonder

We can bring our awareness into our hearts by simply breathing into the general area of our heart.

The first thing we may notice is feelings like joy or sadness and physical sensations like tightness or tenderness.

We acknowledge these as we continue to breathe and focus, listening attentively.

We surround these feelings and sensations
with breath and recognize that they are contained
and held in an immeasurable substance
like water or air, intangible, ineffable, but utterly real.

This is the silence of the heart,
and the more we listen for it,
return to it,
and accept it,
the more we bathe and purify ourselves
in the soundless center of our being.

~Attract~
Attract to yourself everything you desire!
Attract the right job
by finding your passion, being impeccably clear
about what you want and why.

Attract the money you need by
affirming your worthiness and your
willingness to receive.
Accept an attractive offer with Grace.

Attract the relationship you seek by
being as kind,
as caring,
as loving as
those you
wish to
attract.

Attract the best by expecting it.
Anticipate the best and the best
will materialize.
Expect the worst and it will indeed find you.

Attract more bees with honey.
Spill the vinegar and don't cry over it....let it flow down down
down
the
drain.

To attract Joy,
embrace Joy.
To attract a spiritual teacher,
become one for another.
Attract all that you wish for
by whining less and
wishing more.

Attract more Friends by
being a better Friend yourself.
To gain respect, respect yourself first
and then move on
to everyone one around you.

The more attractive you feel,
the more bounty and blessings you
will attract!
