A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT

San Antonio Roundabout

Casing the Mall

Tejanos Transit Stop

Waterfalls along the walk

Riverwalk Sunday

San Antonio, Texas certainly boasts a strong and veritable military history reflected in the overall character of the city. Home to the Alamo, with almost every turn and crossing throughout San Antonio, one is brazenly reminded of the deep pride and cultural influence precipitated by the engagement of warfare. Nevertheless, balancing the stoic gravity of monuments, statues, and memorials is gracefully managed by the profuse lively arrangement of nature and revelers lined along the impressive Riverwalk meandering through the downtown area. Occurring one level down from the automobile street, the Riverwalk(aka Paseo del Rio) is essentially two parallel walkways peppered with bars, restaurants, and shops on either side of the San Antonio River. An exotic blend of sounds, sights, aromas, history and architecture, the Riverwalk is a distinct adventure in North American culture.

HILDE

Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179)

Have you heard of this phenomenal woman? Not your everyday, garden-variety female, especially in medieval days, Hildegard ranks among the most notable human beings in history.

Blessed with many talents and abilities, Hildegard von Bingen was a revolutionary of sorts. Also known as Saint Hildegard, Sybil of the Rhine, and Blessed Hildegard, she displayed an irresitible spirit and vibrant intellect overcoming common barriers to women during the middle ages to achieve timeless transcendence.

Respected by commoners, bishops, popes, and kings, Hildegard was a Christian mystic, author, linguist, naturalist, herbalist, physician, scientist, philosopher, channeler, visionary, composer, counselor, poet, and German Benedictine abbess. Her outstanding and unusual contributions to society, religion, and humanity have been rediscovered by a new generation of spiritual seekers and students of medieval history, and celebrated for its significance to the human experience.

FAMILY MAN

I know for you a poem or dinner

may not seem like much

to show the sincere love I feel

or how my heart is touched

by kind and thoughtful gestures

you bring to me each day

so natural and willingly

you suddenly may say,

"I'm so in love with you"or

"you look beautiful"

with such great frequency

you are so dutiful.

I know for you a warm embrace

and kiss is not enough

to straighten out entanglements

or smooth over the rough

experience and life events

you've dealt with until now

the trials and tribulations

sometimes I wonder how

you find the time and energy

to give so much and more

bringing to life your hopes and dreams

it's you whom I adore.

I know a gift of jewelry

or clothes will not suffice

to thank you for the overt ways

you've been so very nice

like romantic vacations

and nights out on the town

paying a bill and feeding me

rubbing my body down

and so to you a special wish

to place higher than high

be blessed with the best there is

to have before you die

for I could never give you all

you certainly deserve

magnificent is what I call

our family man we serve.

WHAT IS BEAUTY?

The Subtle Beauty

Kasmik

Under the veil of beauty

true innocence hides

awaiting the moment

when love arrives

to free her from features

and false pretense

released from the prison

obsession with scents

delivering honor

and worthiness

in packets and parcels

of emptiness

emerging in a subtle

easy going way

uncovered, revealed

no more to portray.

The Sacred Life

Posted by kasmik comments (0)

Flowers and trees have been used for millennia to symbolize Goddesses, Gods, and Spirits. Across the world, acts and forms of worship are closely associated with offerings of flowers and plants. Many deities have particular flowers and colors related to their divine essence and power, thereby elevating the flower to a privileged and sacred place.

For ages, flowers have held significant meaning and respect in every culture, representing all phases of life, from birth to death, and denoting every experience in the day to day human lifestyle.

On a higher level, flowers have a magical power of communication that has no equal or substitute, display unmatched beauty, and emit incomparable scent and color energy on earth. The wonder and excitement we derive from our relationship with flowers can only be explained as a divine arrangement and a blessing. 'Tis absolute bliss to encounter this sacred life.

Indian Profiles

Trees have a particularly strong life force, absorbing and emanating energies for the benefit of the earth and its inhabitants. These energies are strengthening, healing, liberating, refreshing,

cleansing, and transforming. Trees also have their own distinct personalities and individual qualities, similar to human beings, which set them apart from one another, physically and spiritually.

It is a good practice to frequently mingle amongst trees in a 'up close and personal' way.

Standing, sitting or lying under a tree for a few minutes can be very peaceful and relaxing to your body, mind, and spirit. To enhance your overall health and well being, you can establish a routine meeting with a favorite tree for prayer, meditation, visualization, and deep breathing practices. Most of all, remember to touch and hug trees to get direct healing current flowing through your body.

Trees house ancient guardian spirits and can be easily seen by those who wish to make contact or have an imaginative eye. Some appear in animal or human form in the trunk, branches, or leaves of the tree. Look closely and you may see some of the spirits lingering in a tree near you!

Greater Realities

Posted by kasmik comments (0)

Most of us think 'real' is what can be perceived with the five human senses through sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. There are other senses we possess that are 'real' but are not interpreted through traditional means. For instance, intuition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and psychometry are very real abilities but are not customary methods of perception. These 'extra' senses are part of the greater reality in which we all exist. In truth, there are an unknown number of greater realities we are only now beginning to become conscious of.

What is the greater reality and how do we experience it?

Acceptance is the first step towards tapping into the other realities. Just like you accept that electricity exists and expect your computer or television to turn on when you press the power button, you should also accept that a greater power is in you and expect yourself to be able to turn it on when you press the right button. Your problem may be that you cannot recognize the button that turns you on to the higher realms, but i assure you everyone has one. One way to discover how to connect to other realities is to allow yourself to daydream, imagine, visualize and meditate daily. As you practice these methods regularly, you will create a strong connection to your subconscious and build a bridge to deeper dimensions of reality.

You don't have to 'try' to reach these greater realities, just relax and allow them to appear.
