So we have come to know and to believe

and God abides in him

I'm crying

from 13 mars 2013

I'm crying for all I lost in life

I'm crying for all mother Earth has lost

I'm crying with mother Earth when

I see all what we done to her

my heart is shedding tears

Who are those people stealing

and destroying wherever they go

Who are we to let them do this

without saying no this is enough

my heart is shedding tears

I'm crying for all people that have lost

the most precious and valuable in their life

I'm crying for all the people that are fighting

for their lives starving bleeding

my heart is shedding tears

The heart of those people with power

how does it look is it a dark spot

filled with fears and greed

are they fighting instead of crying

are their hearts shedding tears

Our mother Earth a precious gift

our lives a wonderful gift from

a creator we cannot see but know

that still exist whatever we believe

my heart is shedding tears

When will our eyes see what is in front of us

when will we hear what is whispered to us

when will we feel the love and compassion

that were told will come to us when we start believing

our hearts are shedding tears

I tell you a story, it's a true one
And I'll tell it like you'll understand
And ain't gonna talk like some history man

I look out and I see a land
Young and lovely, hard and strong
For fifty thousand years
We've danced her praises
Prayed our thanks and we've just begun

This is, this is my country
Young and growin' free and flowin' sea to sea
Yes this is my country
Ripe and bearing miracles in ev'ry pond and tree
Her spirit walks the high country
Givin' free wild samples
And settin' an example how to give
Yes, this is my country
Retchin' and turnin', she's like a baby learnin' how to live

I can stand upon a hill at dawn
Look all around me, feel her surround me
Soldier blue, can't you see her life has just begun?
It's beating inside us
Telling us she's here to guide us

Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue
Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Ooh

Yes, this is my country
And I sprang from her and I'm learnin' how to count upon her
Tall trees and the corn is high country
Yes, I love her and I'm learnin' how to take care of her

Whenever the news stories get me down
I take a drink of freedom to think of
North America from toe to crown
It's never long before I know just why I belong here

Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue
Can't you see that there's another way to love her?
Soldier blue, soldier blue
Can't you see that there's another way to love her?
Soldier blue, soldier blue
Can't you see that there's another way to love her?

Tid att vakna - Moder Jord

från den 14 mars 2011
Vart har människans vördnad för moder jord tagit vägen? Hon som skapar liv till allt levande utnyttjas och skövlas av krafter som tror de kan kontrollera och ha makt över det som sker. Moder jord ropar efter besinning och kärlek. Ta tillbaka det som är det ursprungligt och hylla det som ger er liv och livet själv. Varje del på denna jord är en del av dig. Det du skadar på vår jord skadar du dig själv med, dina avkommor och allt efterföljande liv. Se vår jord som den moder och det barn du gett liv till, allt i ett; ger liv, föder liv och blir liv.

Det är tid för en förändring, dess vindar sveper över oss och vi kan inte stå kvar då dess kraft är enorm. För att återerövra land till vår skapandes moder är det hög tid att ta ut en ny kurs. Med all vår teknologi, med våra kunskaper och med kärlekens kraft, empati och medkänsla till allt levande, kan vi skapa den värld vi vill leva i och med.

Dags att samla oss att rikta vår enade styrka mot det som kärlek och livet ger. Vi alla som känner att vår moder jord skälver, och att fortsätta på den väg vi påbörjat leder mot förödelse, vad behöver vi ge upp för att alla människor ska kunna leva ett värdigare och bättre liv? Vilka möjligheter finns det och hur många av oss är villiga att göra dessa förändringar för en bättre värld? Våra politiska och ekonomiska krafter i vår värld är så kompakta, kontrollerade och sammanlänkade. Hur ska man förändra dess struktur när de med kontroll över de finansiella strömmarna är de som egentligen bestämmer? De som bestämmer och som tror att de har kontroll och makt över den värld de skapar?

Känner djup oro över den värld de skapat, där man förbisett människans och vår jords sårbarhet och haft fokus på skapa tillväxt och makt. Samtidigt finns det så otroligt många människor, organisationer och företag som aktivt redan gör ett stort arbete med att kompensera detta maktmissbruk och skövling. Men ännu har vi inte tillräckligt många över på den livgivande sidan men kanske får alla dessa nya katastrofer fler och fler att tänka om och att vågskålen börjar väga över för den livgivande sidan. En tanke som sen blir handling och förändringar sker. En massiv våg av positiva förändringar sköljer fram i vår värld då våra medvetanden förändras.

Än finns det tid till förändring, se dig själv vid ett vägval här och nu; det ena leder till katastrof och förödelse för vår värld och det andra till en fortsatt möjlighet till en livgivande moder jord och kärleksfulla människor. Inse att du har kraft att förändra här och nu. Ett litet steg är början till en lång resa. Det gäller bara att ta det första steget, att vilja, att våga, att börja och att tro att vi kan förändra. Vi behöver ta ut den nya kursen här och nu!

Kärlek och vårt gemensamma helande till Moder Jord och allt levande på vår vackra jord

All is well

I will be taking care of - no matter what

All is well

Kärlek

I en våg av kärlek sveps jag med

i dess kraft jag kapitulerar och hänger mig

till kärlekens magiska väsen

den omsluter mig och fyller mig med ren ljus energi

i dess kärlekslåga jag elden håller brinnande

livgivande och återskapande av livskraften stor

Vibrerande av liv och kärlek stor jag lever

och ger min klang en ny och kraftfull energi

som pulserar genom mig och förenas med alltets klang

i detta överflöd av kärlekskraft jag hittar det som varit dolt

i kärlek stor jag kärleken är

och låter livet levas genom mig och den jag är

Happy New Year Gott Nytt År to all Love beeings

Love is patient and kind. 

Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. 

It does not demand its own way. 

It is not irritable, 

and it keeps no record of being wronged. 

 It does not rejoice about injustice 

but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 

Love never gives up, never loses faith, 

is always hopeful, 

and endures through every circumstance.

Love never fails

Three things will last forever

faith, hope, and love

and the greatest of these 

is love.

Chorinthians 13:4-8; 13

Forgivness and unconditional Love

from http://www.taize.fr/en_article4572.html

Forgiveness: If Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him, why did he keep him in the circle of his close companions until the end?

Among the many disciples who followed him, Jesus designated twelve to be closest to him, to share and continue his mission. He took very seriously the formation of this group of twelve apostles, praying an entire night beforehand.

But at a certain moment, Jesus realized that one of the twelve, Judas, had changed his attitude. Jesus understood that Judas was becoming distant from him, and even saw that he was going to “hand him over,” as the gospels put it. According to John’s gospel, Jesus understood what was happening already in Galilee, long before the events in Jerusalem that would bring him to the cross (John 6:70-71). Why then did he not send Judas away? Why did he keep him close to him until the end?

One of the words used by Jesus to speak of the creation of the group of the twelve apostles gives us a clue. “Did not I choose you, the Twelve?” (John 6:70; see also 13:18.) The verb to choose is a key word in Bible history. God chose Abraham, and then chose Israel to become the chosen people. It is God’s choice or election that forms God’s people, the people of the covenant. What makes the covenant unbreakable is that God chooses to love Abraham and his descendants for ever. The apostle Paul would comment on this: “God’s gifts and call are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29).

Because Jesus chose the twelve just as God chose his people, he could not send Judas away even when he realized that he was going to betray him. He knew that he had to love him to the end, to show that God’s choice was irrevocable. The prophets, Hosea and Jeremiah in particular, spoke in the name of a God wounded and humiliated by the betrayals of his people, but who nevertheless never stopped loving them with eternity’s love. Jesus did not wish to do less, nor could he do so: humiliated by the treason of one of his closest companions, he kept on showing him his love. By lowering himself before his disciples to wash their feet, he made himself the servant of all, Judas included. And it was particularly with Judas that he shared a peace of bread, a fragment of burning love that the disciple took away with him into his night (John 13:21-30).

If he wanted to be faithful to his Father – to the God who chose Abraham and Israel, to the God of the prophets – Jesus could do nothing else but keep Judas close to him until the end. He loved Judas even when Judas was enshrouded by darkness. “The light shines in the darkness” (John 1:5). The gospel says that Jesus “was glorified” at the moment he gave his love to Judas, when he loved him without gaining anything by it and beyond all measure (John 13:31). In the darkest night of resentment and hatred, Jesus manifested the unbelievable radiance of God’s love.

Why are the gospels so discreet concerning Judas’ motives?

It is astonishing that the first Christians did not keep silent about the fact that one of the twelve apostles handed Jesus over to the hostile authorities. This fact casts doubt on the character of Jesus himself: did he make a mistake in choosing one of his companions? But it is equally astonishing that the gospels say almost nothing about the motives of Judas. Was he disappointed when he realized that Jesus was not a Messiah with a program of political liberation? Did he think he was acting in the best interests of his people by bringing Jesus’ career to an end? Some have supposed that he was motivated by the lure of a reward; others that he acted out of love, to help Jesus to give his life….

In the gospels there are only two indications concerning the reasons for what Judas did. One is the mention of the devil. “The devil placed in Judas’ heart the intention to hand him over” (John 13:2). But this only deepens the mystery. The devil, or Satan, is the one who opposes, criticizes or slanders. Jesus sensed the resentment that had come to birth in Judas’ heart and that was rooted there to the point of no return. But about why it existed, not a word, not even an allusion.

The other indication is the reference to the Holy Scriptures. Regarding Judas’ betrayal of him, Jesus said, “so that the words of Scripture will be fulfilled: The one who eats my bread turned his heel against me” (Psalm 41:9, quoted in John 13:18). It is important to understand correctly the meaning of this reference to the Scriptures in the gospels. They are not a kind of script where the role of each actor is written down in advance. Everyone who reads the Bible carefully knows well to what extent it offers choices and sets everyone before their responsibilities.

Quoting the verse of the psalm “The one who eats my bread turned his heel against me” (Psalm 41:10), Jesus does not mean to state that Judas could not have acted differently, but rather that God remains the principal actor in what is being played out. There is the drama of the betrayal, and at the same time God is the one at work. For if through Judas the Scriptures are being fulfilled, that means that, in a mysterious way, God’s intentions are being carried out. God is causing his words to come about (Isaiah 55:10-11). The reference to Scripture enables us to believe in God even during the night, even when what happens is incomprehensible.

If Judas’ resentment and hatred remain incomprehensible, Jesus’ love “to the very end” is still more beyond all understanding. The gospels are so discreet concerning Judas’ motives because they do not want to satisfy our curiosity, but rather to lead us to faith. They do not clarify the abyss of darkness of the drama of Judas; they reveal the unfathomable and incomprehensible depth of God’s love.

God Loves and Cares for me 

and is giving me all good things.

I Love him and think his thoughts 

and do only the things he wants me to do.

Love and Let go

If you love something, let it go.

If it comes back to you, its yours forever.

If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.

Listen to excerpt from chapter XV11 from 10:14

Colossians 3:12-17

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:12-17New International Version - UK (NIVUK)

what my palm says about me

You are driven by your strong ideas and your passionate nature. 

You stick by your ideals no matter what life throws at you, 

and you do your best to make a real and lasting impact

on the world. Deep down you desire freedom

and the opportunity to get away from it all.

You dream about floating away

and leaving someone else to do your work. 

It might be time to think about a short vacation, 

some time to clean your head 

and make time for yourself.

Everyone needs a break once in a while.

I can only agree on this....

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

King James Version (KJV)

Mariah Carey - My All

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
(I'd) give my all for your love
Tonight

Dr. Maya Angelou's 3-Word Secret to Living Your Best Life - Oprah's Mast...

"Just do right. 

 Right may not be expedient, it may not be profitable,

 but it will satisfy your soul.

 It brings you the kind of protection that bodyguards can’t give you."

"Try to be all you can be to be the best human being you can be.

  Do it because it is right to do." 

"So try to live in a way that you will not regret years of

 useless virtue and inertia, and timidity. 

 Pick up the battle; pick it up, it's yours, this is your life, 

 this is your world.

You make your own choices; 

 you can decide life isn't worth living 

 and that could be the worst thing you could do,

 how do you know?

 So far. Try it. See. So pick it up. 

 Pick up the battle and make it a better world. 

 Just where you are. 

 Yes. 

 And it can be better.

 And it must be better

 and

 it is up to us."
