Enya: Flora's Secret

Lovers in the long grass
Look above them
Only they can see
Where the clouds are going
Only to discover
Dust and sunlight
Ever make the sky so blue

Afternoon is hazy
River flowing
All around the sounds
Moving closer to them
Telling them the story
Told by Flora
Dreams they never knew

Silver willows
Tears from Persia
Those who come
From a far-off island
Winter Chanterelle lies
Under cover
Glory-of-the-sun in blue

Some they know as passion
Some as freedom
Some they know as love
And the way it leaves them
Summer snowflake
For a season
When the sky above is blue
When the sky above is blue

Lying in the long grass
Close beside her
Giving her the name
Of the one the moon loves
This will be the day she
Will remember
When she knew his heart
Was
Loving in the long grass
Close beside her
Whispering of love
And the way it leaves them
Lying in the long grass
In the sunlight
They believe it's true love
And from all around them
Flora's secret
Telling them of love
And the way it breathes
And
Looking up from eyes of
Amaranthine
They can see the sky
Is blue
Knowing that their love
Is true
Dreams they never knew
And the sky above is blue

Education

The highest education is that which does not give us merely information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941)

Meditation

Meditation clears the cosmic mist

as the consciousness of the soul
ascends to its higher planes of existence.

Yogananda

Wonder and Beauty

Live each present moment completely and the future will take care of itself.
Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each instant.

Paramabansa Yogananda

Opening to New Insights

I am an individualization of God expressing on this physical plane. I recognize this loving presence within me. My mind and heart concurrently open to new insights.

My life is always evolving toward a greater expression of my true nature. Love, prosperity, health, and creativity are always available to me.

I do my part for peace by expressing peace in my personal life. I do my part for prosperity by choosing to live a prosperous life. I do my part for love by sharing the unconditional love within me.

I am blessed by these opportunities to be and do more each day as I walk through my magnificent life.

Oneness

Our lives are like islands in the sea

or like trees in the forest,
which co-mingle their roots
in the darkness underground.

William James
