In honor of this Earth Day 2009 I give two offerings to you, you sacred and blessed OS people. May our Beautiful Planet Earth always be bountiful and green. May we always honor her and ALL her children: two legged, four legged, multi-legged and all in between and around.
"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. The lyrics : "Bright Blessed days, Dark Sacred Nights" sums it up for me.
The next is in honor of Great Mother Goddess TARA (=TERRA=Earth)
TARA is known and the Mother of Liberation, regarded as a Boddisattva of compassion and action. She originated millions of years ago as the Princess Yeshe Dawa, her name meaning "Moon of Primordial Awareness"
Due to her enlightened activities Princess Dawa was approached by monks who suggested to her that in her next lifetime she be reborn into a male body in order to progress further. She declined, stating that it made no difference what gender one was and resolved to remain in the body of a woman until all beings are enlightened.
MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY!

"Two less likely members of a relationship can hardly be imagined -- the technological apes and the dreaming planet. And yet, because the life of each depends on the other, [we have] a feeling towards this immense, strange, wise, old, neutral, weird thing, and it is trying to figure out why its dreams are so tormented and why everything is out of balance." - Terence McKenna

Happy Earth Day

graces us with his excellent photography. Thank you.
Robin: Yeshe Dawa's name meaning "Moon of Primordial Awareness" thrills me to my very core.
Monsieur: I love Terrence McKenna and the plants he honored.
I am seeking in my own way to help get things into balance on our
dear Planet Earth. It's all taking on a life of it's own, regardless of
who's in power. Mother Nature bats last as they say.
Monte: I am so glad you stopped by. Armstrong was such a sweet
spiritual man, just like you.
Kind of Blue: Yes, I was thinking about you when I was searching
on Youtube for a proper video.XOXOXOXOX right back at you!
Cheers for a great post, Louis Armstrong and Tara! Rated with greenery!

Ablonde: you, dear one, are the one who pointed me to the TARA
videos on YouTube. Thank you.
Michael: That creature you offed on your tomato plant is now one
of your familiars. Deal with it.
Tinkerertink69: Thank you, Mr 69. How hot are you? Very, it seems.
Roy: So many Blessing for us all if we would just take them.
Lady Miko: The paws have it, and so do you.
Delores: OM TARA
Happy Belated Earthday to you and blessings to all living (and nonliving) things!
The sun is shining here and I'm off to go dig in the dirt with my dad :) family & dirt, it doesn't get much better than that. (even though we probably will be grousing at each other before the first hour is out)
