POPPY DREAMS

There is something so beautiful and tender about the poppy.  Like every flower it has so many different phases to its life.  Something that I had never noticed is that a poppy is just as beautiful in it's blooming phase as it is when it is withering and dying.  It has been used as a symbol for death, sleep, resurrection, and eternal life.  And of course the red corn poppy is the symbol used for remembrance on Memorial Day.

I was compelled to put together a collection of my poppy pictures from my garden and put some music in the background to add a meditative mood.  I hope you enjoy the outcome.

I love the Morning At Dawn

The best time of the day for me is right before the sun rises.  I love the feel of the cool air as it begins to mix with the heat of the sunshine.  I love how the birds sing as a slight breeze picks up.  I love how nature seems to wake up to the promise of a new beginning.

This is the time of the day when my brain seems both empty and full at the same time.  My thoughts are always so much clearer and I am able to soar from one beautiful place to the next.  It is in this moment of in between day and night that I can hear the Universal voice speak to me so clearly.

Today in my meditation I found myself flitting back and forth between lists of things I have done right and things I have done wrong in my life.  When I started to ponder upon all of these things I realized that many of the things that I have done wrong have actually been my most valuable lessons learned in life.  So how can I really judge that something was right or wrong.   It is all a part of me and my journey.
