Where We Go For Peace

Harmony Thiessen — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 00:16:31 +0000

Without someone to hate, oppose, and blame for our world, I would have to face the dark places within; and where would I begin? ~~~~~~ I am not going to speak of all the tragedy. We know it well. Headlines and social streams are full of it, can't get enough of it it seems. [...]

“No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he (SHE) gave.” Calvin Coolidge - 30th American President Honoring the Nurturer I won't sugarcoat this one bit. This week I am shamelessly promoting some of my Silent Memos cards that I think would be perfect Mother's Day [...]

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.” ~ Rumi* Breaking - Brokenness can become openness. As we approach the Christian Easter celebration, I invite you, my dear reader, no matter what your "label" - spiritual or absolutely not, to allow the message behind Easter to be yours; that of breaking, emptiness, [...]

Awake My Being

Harmony Thiessen — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 23:03:28 +0000

Excuse me," said an ocean fish. "You are older than I, so can you tell me where to find the thing they call the ocean?" "The ocean," said the older fish, "is the thing you are in now." "Oh, this? But this is water. What I'm seeking is the ocean," said the disappointed fish [...]

You See The World With The Beauty In You

Harmony Thiessen — Sun, 06 Mar 2022 05:27:27 +0000

Seems to me we are always looking for something to move us, change us, inspire us - outside of us. Maybe a sunset, a flower, a baby's smile, a puppy's dance - or the beauty of a body or a face. Funny though, we can always find a flaw with the sunset - if [...]

Harmony Thiessen — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 04:31:27 +0000
