Just for Today

Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)
Just for today
I let go of anger,
knowing I can gently express my inner needs
I let go of worry,
choosing to trust that I have been heard
I am deeply thankful,
to a kind and benevolent universe
I am focused on my work
in creative & productive ways
I am kind and loving,
to myself and all beings.

Blessed Be.

A Few Haikus

Published in Haiku by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

The grass is greener
in both the verdant future
and the past meadow.

In the pointing out
of the obvious, one's own
self doubts are revealed.


Listening to you
all I keep coming back to
I'm simply

Reading Your Chart

Published in PoemsAstrology by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

It was midnight
By the time we reached the 12th house
And that’s when
The truth spilled out

There in
The witching hour
That’s when I watched you
Regain your power

Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time -
we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.

Thoughts on Gandhi

Published in Jokes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)


We all know that Gandhi was a peaceful visionary who led a simple life. What some folks don’t know is what were some of the effects from his chosen lifestyle.

For example, he walked barefoot, and his feet were often sore, despite toughening up.

He ate little and a vegan diet, which caused him not only to feel weak at times, but also to have kinda bad

Who ever thought up the word "Mammogram"? Every time I hear it, I think I'm supposed to put my breast in an envelope and send it to someone.

On Listening

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient.

It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

Strange Love (or why my life sucks)

Published in Little Stories by RamblingRose | Comment (5)
"Hi Bella, how are you?" My mom's Swedish accent sounding in my ear as I cradled the phone.

"Well, Mom, the good news is: I've fallen in love. The bad news is..."

I love my mom. Both her & my dad have been the epitome of tolerance and acceptance throughout my eclectic love life, which has ranged from my boyfriend living with us when I was a teenager to my

Instructions

Instructions

Give up the world; give up self; finally, give up God.
Find god in rhododendrons and rocks,
passers-by, your cat.
Pare your beliefs, your absolutes.
Make it simple; make it clean.
No carry-on luggage allowed.
Examine all you have
with a loving and critical eye, then
throw away some more.
Repeat. Repeat.
Keep this and only this:
what your heart beats loudly

Life is short, Love is real
Trust your heart, What you feel
Live your life, sing your song
Make it sweet & make it strong.

Thoughts on Moderation

Published in ReflectionsQuotesMore Musings by RamblingRose | Comment (0)
Throw moderation to the winds,
and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains.
- Democritus


In one of my money meditations that I teach, there is the part:

I am wise with my money. I dedicate part to pay off my debts easily and effortlessly; part for my savings, which I then invest and watch grow; and the remainder I live on in comfort and moderation. I

Deathaversaries

Published in Little Stories by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Today is one of my deathaversaries. Do you have those? They're not anniversaries, where you celebrate another year accomplished. Instead, they're the days where you say, "We would have been together x amount of years today..."

Deathaversaries note of course physical deaths, but also the more intangibles - buy outs, divorces, disappointments. I was always

It's in Your Hands

In these hands be ceaseless action
Bringing me divine satisfaction
-Asterius


Yesterday I received a hand analysis by Santa Cruz life coach Denise Diani-Friedman. As an astrologer, it was trippy to me how much it corresponded to not just my natal chart, but my current transits. Quite simply, I am in my Uranus opposition, otherwise known as the mid life crisis.
