LOVE NOTE ON MOTHER NATURE by Vrinda Aguilera

In ancient Vedic texts our Earth planet is personified as a goddess whose name is Bhumi Devi…

She is seen as one of the many types of mothers as she protects, provides and cares for us. We, ourselves, are but transient houseguests who have been graciously given a home and are the recipients of our generous earth mother's bounty.

May we all live with careful consideration, respect and compassion for each other and all living beings. May we embody true humility, grace, and service by treading gently as we inhabit Bhumi Devi's surface.

Slow down and feel her warm embrace...


Love Note on Mother Nature
by Vrinda Aguilera

At my best of times, at my worst of times
I have always turned to and received the comfort and reassurance
of Mother Nature.

She has always been there for me.
She enfolds me in her warm embrace.
I trust her and she loves me.

She soothes my upsets
with her soft, melodic sounds
as only she can do.

She strokes me with gentle breezes
and warms my heart
with the glowing of her sunshine.

She is strong, stable,
balancing, kind, and beautiful.
She is also wildly creative, passionate
and has a wicked sense of humor.

She is filled with contrasts
and is the most brilliant of artists that I have ever met.

She plays beautiful music and is joyful,
dramatic, bold, daring and shy all at the same time!

She holds my hand and we dance together whenever I like.

She knows me the best and accepts me for who I am,
and has never, ever judged me or made me feel less than.

Sometimes she laughs at me and teases me a bit.

Other times she pushes me just enough so I don't get stuck.

Always, she cares and loves me fully.
She invites me to do the same and isn't sad if I forget about her or doubt.
She knows that I am perfectly flawed and loves me anyways.

Best of all, she shows me the way, invites me along the path
and believes in me with all of her heart
which is very, very big:
Big enough, even, to fit the whole, wide world!

IMAGINE A WOMAN by Patricia Lynn Reilly

  This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection, you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already within you! I invite you to love your creativity fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons, nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful, trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience.  Blessed is the fruit of your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance, write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Ga...

IN THE STILLNESS OF THE NIGHT by Ginny Brannan

 Just take a moment to pause... When life becomes rote, and frustration grows from being immersed in the same routine—different day, sometimes we need to remind ourselves that peace is still there—within our grasp— if we just take a moment to pause and enjoy the stillness and beauty around us. In the Stillness of the Night  by Ginny Brannan Late winter’s eve and all is still the lawn lies bathed in silver light— gray shadows race across the yard and climb atop the windowsill to draw my gaze upon the sight. I stare out to the moonlit night, across the deck and wooded path fresh–painted by new fallen snow. The scene infuses with delight; this gift inside storm’s aftermath. Half–buried now, the old birdbath lies shadowed deep in indigo— it waits on promise of the spring when arctic chill has finally passed and snow gives way to new green grass. With gratitude, I hedge to go; tranquility allays my soul… I turn ...

STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou

Six years ago, I had the privilege of listening to Maya Angelou speak live on the value of poetry at the University of Florida. I share these reflections with you again today, in honor of her birthday.  I was relieved to get one of the last seats available for this rare event, having arrived at five for Maya Angelou ’s free speech at eight. The historically long line began with people settled into beach chairs in winter coats busying themselves on tablets, or eating sandwiches for dinner. As helicopters hovered above and newscasters below, I felt the excitement of realizing that thousands of people were gathering together to hear an eighty four year old black woman recite her poetry! Maya Angelou speaking at University of Florida on Feb. 27, 2013  When the curtain rose -after an overflow of hundreds were sent away- we lucky ones on the inside greeted Maya with a standing ovation, as she smiled sweetly, beginning her talk using metaphors from nature. Maya asked...
