Christmas still lingering in the wings, gatherings of those we hold Dear, sumptuous decadent foods, and of course the brilliance of bright lights dangling from rooftops and jingle bells announcing that their merriment has not yet faded as January tosses her frosty satchels, and flatly declares her arrival! So as the Autumnal colors are making their ways into the canopy that is passing, what are your hopes and wishes as culminations are charting notes, and creating maps to their new destinations, pathways into our current lives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a strange mix of magic as the landscapes start to turn bare, leaves crunch under our feet, vine and thistle are dry and stillness dots the sky. It is a time to step back and to take stock of what to take forward and what no longer is bringing you affirming &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;fruition's&lt;/span&gt;. Time to realign and time to be a Guardian for yourself. Remember what they say about telling yourself there are no weeds in your garden? One day you walk out and they have taken over much to your chagrin. So while our attentions go soft focus, glancing off to watch Father Frost gathering&lt;br /&gt;ice cycles on Moonlit sleigh rides, allow yourself time to be fully present to truly enjoy celebratory moments that capture the treasures that life holds for us all. It is a fine line, and we must &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;gravitate&lt;/span&gt; toward precision in order to capture the joy and the majesties of the upcoming Season, and still find time to refine or in some cases redefine our aspirations, and where we are in regard to our own inner checklists of where we feel we should be at this juncture of our lives. It is fine to hold our selves up in the light of other's expectations and those we feel high regard for, for some that gives us a checks and balancing system, but living up to your own self regard is crucial. When all is said and done and you find yourself looking back will you admire the reflection staring back at you or will you want to turn a blind eye?&lt;br /&gt;Remember what ever issues arise, keep your hearts light and visualize a soft warm pink glow surrounding your heart and all of those you Love and care deeply for! Oh let us savor the merriment, but also let a new Dream start to twinkle in the inner recesses of our mind's! Like a new shining trinket that we are positively gleeful to polish, to lovingly place ever so carefully right on our nightstand's, reminding us that moving forward can have it's own rewards! Sometimes just taking one first step gets us flowing into our New Dreams! I will leave the night light on, even when the Sun is dancing in from a new morning that has just arrived! Always leave a soft light on, it lends it's warmth as a Sweet Guide beckoning to us, and as for me, I love that subtle affirming companionship! &lt;br /&gt;Much Love &amp; Blessings, &lt;br /&gt;Your SteamyPhilospher, &lt;br /&gt;Carmen&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8931666221779080098-8447762315181518447?l=steamyphilospher.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/8447762315181518447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/8447762315181518447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steamyphilospher.blogspot.com/2007/12/old-man-winter-is-charting-his-course.html' title='Old Man Winter Is Charting His Course'/><author><name>SteamyPhilospher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04445858324892891210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_IxsGDNaL21E/R1hL-RZoLXI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-gwU5fDxxlc/S220/CarmenGlPressPic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931666221779080098.post-4620110126304488992</id><published>2011-11-17T23:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-22T13:13:49.136-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scrumptious Fall Meandering Time'/><title type='text'>Autumnal Illuminations!</title><content type='html'>Oh can you step back with me and gaze at the jewel tones sparkling in the umber fields, those Autumnal colors dancing through the woods, golds and ginger leaves dangling from old elm and cedar limbs, then sprinting from bough to bough leap frogging and playing hide and seek, rolling in the acorns, and camofloging themselves to throw prowlers off track! Just imagine with me the royal Autumn Celestial's throwing their heads back,gossiping and catching up on what is new, brass buttons jingle jangling from their sweaters tied just off the shoulders and the sweet smell of marigolds and pumpkin, of cider and cinnamon sticks teasing your senses and inviting you to the festival Fall brings to us! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     And let me dare not be remiss to not mention, the arrival of The Autumn equinox, all clean shaven with His Tux jacket cleverly tossed casually over his rugged strong shoulder, whoosh this balancing of the Seasons leaves me a little unsteady sometimes.. Well I always find Him a bit on the intoxicating side I must admit, a rather rejuvenating sight! OOh this time of the year, which happens to be my Birthday time, I am giddy to "let slip", my heart starts to beat in expectant hopeful extra time just anticipating the change of Seasons. I adore watching Mother nature tug out her ole familiar charming wool sweaters, and snuggly beaded shawls, heading towards her fireplace with Her incense and Her basket over filled with fall flowers for her Hearth! Tucking a spicy novel in her Rocker just before she goes out to watch the night, skies glittering with starlight melding with the Sunset.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;     Oh I so hope that You, my Dear reader, will take the time to come and share some time with me, sip some jasmine tea by the firelight, and rediscover for yourself walks with a new quick clip in your steps, perhaps a renewed twinkle in your eyes, waltzing away into your busy days feeling a bit more reintegrated, or at the very least, a bit more inspired to take a few steps back and view the world from a multi dimensional stand point. It is not all about being merely mortal. Far from it! Hey bare with me here! Even the most enlightened, should in my own humble opinion, consider themselves a novice when we are embarking on explorations and seeking the Divine, and the multitude of some of the greatest unearthed mysteries that remain hidden in the recesses of both our Universe and other dimensions that man has yet to find and establish connections with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Now I am not talking about becoming a space cadet, or even that we should leave logic in our studies tucked away, but at least humor me in that there are certainly areas where we limit ourselves and humanity by not being receptive to holy moments that sometimes occur and we don't even notice that something deeply meaningful has just touched our lives! We rush and hurry in our mind grinding routines with our check list pages swinging in the winds, as we turn the pages and run into the last bits of daylight. Meanwhile the Sun heads out for the night, grabs his burly jacket and doesn't look back, because he is done with the day and He needs his rest. And in regards to the Celestials, they know the lines in the sands, it's practically omnipitance to them, and they are finely attuned with Divine order. They keep their pocket watches shiny as starlight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     While my manuscript is in it's culmination stages, I will sprinkle in as much fine tuning and inspiration as I can to get us all thinking on higher levels. Life is so much more than the mundane and so much more than all the stresses that try to envelope us and steal away the magic that any given moment can actually bestow. Even in some of our greatest challenges we do have Guardians walking with us. Though we may not feel an element of comfort caressing our burdened hearts, and our minds are over ridden, when you feel you just may self implode, just stop in mid stride and create a moment of absolute stillness. In that moment, imagine a softly lit center point within you, inviting, soothing, comforting and completely free of strife. Take some very deep breaths and think of your most beautiful favorite color surrounding you like a soft cloud, like a new Mother embracing and holding her new infant. Let this ethereal light of hue soothe you all the way down to your very Soul. You will in these moments be able to find your essence, remain in this sacred space with your deep breathes imagining a fragrance so serene that your whole mind, body and emotions are just swept into a warm and gentle up lifting inner realm of calm. And remember, you can go there at any time you need this warm and gentle refuge. It is all yours, slip into your imagination and imagine yourself in communion with yourself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     You are an eternal and beautiful being, you came into this world undefiled, innocent, and the introduction to this mortal world and all that can accompany it, needn't cause you to loose your Divine connection neither with God, or with yourself. Yes sometimes it feels impossible to find a free breath, so just like you take time to make a To Do list, make time to find this inner sanctuary, to become still, take some deep breaths, imbibe those soft ethereal colors and scents that are so relaxing and so individually soothing, that you feel you are connected to the Holy ones. You know you can be, it is a choice once you learn how to go there, once you know that the golden key lies in your own mind, within your own reach in this very moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     As for myself I take a down feather blanket with me, a teddy bear softer than the biggest Cotton ball this side of heaven, and lots of softly scented sensuous candles... by the time I leave, I am intoxicated and feel like a Deva so alluring and so completely attuned that the troubles on the doorsteps take a step back when they see me coming, and I can hear them all chattering.. "Lord, she's been there again!" Laughing out loud here, but seriously try this sometime and see if your world feels just a little more light weight and your prayers and meditations come through more in the golden light of gentle whispers instead of pleas of desperate emotions!&lt;br /&gt;Much Love &amp; Blessings! &lt;br /&gt;      Carmen &lt;br /&gt;"The SteamyPhilospher"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to sign up for the brilliant Synchronicity In Your Life Magazine by Bill White, a fabulous guy very well noted world wide now, as "The Synchronicity Expert".

I will plead my case standing resolutely requesting for your consideration that we had our first Earthquake (Seriously!?), then a Hurricane, followed by flooding and lightening storms so intense, I really started looking for movie camera's just to be sure someone wasn't playing a huge prank on me! Then there were bouts of illness and hospital visits, sometimes I felt I was caught up in the intense energetic shifts, and felt myself trying to depend on a sense of discernment to guide me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     No compass, no flashlight or fairy dust to leave behind a trail for finding my way back to what all feels familiar; But then again, maybe this was the point! Fertility is sometimes ushered in by plowing and tilling, ridding old established patterns sometimes retarding your progress, thus creating new ground for new vitality and cultivations that bring you &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;evolving&lt;/span&gt; and replenishment. Whoosh, sometimes there can be a little sting involved. So for now let's merge unpredictability( Imagine sour pinched faces here) that sometimes shows up on our doorsteps without introduction, sweeps us up and takes us off like in the Charles Dickens tales while we are asking ourselves, "Now which ghost are you supposed to represent!"? "And where are we going I have places to be and people to see", and then there is just sky and you praying to reach the ground again as the clouds are winking by your forehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     If you are new to my blog I hope you will go back and read my introduction "Welcome To The Journey" to get a basic feel for why I started this blog, and hope that you will continue to take the time to come and share some time with me and rediscover and hopefully walk away into your busy days feeling a bit more reintegrated, or at the very least, a bit more inspired and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;challenged&lt;/span&gt; to take a few steps back and view the world from a multi dimensional stand point. It is not all about being merely mortal. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Ok&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;cerebral&lt;/span&gt; just bare with me here! It is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;after all&lt;/span&gt; far from it.

Embrace Her Grace!</title><content type='html'>As I awoke this morning I envisioned Summer like a mystical Priestess standing on the edge of the ancient woods, gazing with the griffins and salamander, the sleepy sage and morning crocus anticipating who would be preparing for the new beginnings she usher's in?&lt;br /&gt;      I imagine her gazing into the magical glistening Solstice archway, with beautiful golden chestnut glowing languid tresses, and a flowing beaded gown with posies gently crowning her head.&lt;br /&gt;      I love to think of her more as a Goddess inviting us to renewal, as Winter leaves with his heavy coat heaved up on his shoulder, and his weathered brow now relaxed as he heads out for a well deserved rest. Summer with all of her majestic embellishments graciously holds a luminous myriad of new possibilities that the Solstice brings to us. If we are willing to release dysfunction, accumulated stagnation, or any other issue bringing barrenness or zapping our vitality, these are better to be allowed to pass away into our past. &lt;br /&gt;      If we are willing during this metamorphic time to make the efforts, she will light up the stepping stones to our new beginnings. Watch for the glimmer, a hushed moment when something inside of you feels a tingling sensation, a curiosity of something playful and whimsical right in the midst of all of your current dilemmas and concerns.&lt;br /&gt;      I myself have spent alot of time in my inner chambers, while the passing of the glimmering Solstice meanders on the skyline, prismatic and lovely tis true, but my attentions are now gearing up, grabbing a pail, and a sturdy broom, focusing on clearing of dust and crowded spaces in my own home in hopes that Summer would acknowledge these releases, and help me to attune to a newer light energy synergistic within my environment, myself, with an emphasis to cultivate a healthy glow that resonates harmoniously with other's on my similar path of evolvement. &lt;br /&gt;     Now my challenge to you would be to ask yourself, what beautiful seeds can you plant that she can nourish with the Solstice Summer's birthing waters to bring you and those you love new fruition's to anticipate? &lt;br /&gt;     Don't you just love seed's? Just one of God's many wondrous miracles we are blessed to have at any moment we choose! I just love to think of all of the sacred privileges offered in this one element. Not to mention of course the Honor of prayers and communing with Higher Ground, listening to the stillness for wisdom and her words of illumination she sends us if we but listen, stopping the chatterbugs and incessant to do lists that we have our pockets crammed full with, stitches begging for lightening of the load. We can all be Guardians you know? &lt;br /&gt;     In some form or other we are to even those we never will have knowledge that we are a source of inspiration and encouragement to. What a beautiful thought! Be the Blessing you are wishing you would receive, and in that moment you are cultivating, enriching your own life journey by nourishing and supporting another's Dreams or their well being.&lt;br /&gt;      Imagine a luminous gentle ever present circle made up by us all, consciously aware or not is not the point, that we are unity, held in the hands of the Great Creator, that my Dear cherished friends, is one of our greatest treasures in all of our Humanity. Living in the Mortal world, communing with Higher Ground interchangeably with Gratitude and Love as our Guides!&lt;br /&gt;        Oh Grandfather is chiming!It's time for me to sneak a peak, pull up the shades, and look for the newly lit stepping stones, and more to the point, to get moving. Compass? Check. Feathers and Gypsies doubloons squirreled away for new decor after my work? Check! But come again for another visit, Fall and his burly wool coat will be here before we even have time for one last swim with the swans,to dip with the salamanders, and sun our selves on the pond's lovely palms. Now let's decide, what do we keep, and what shall we grow, and last of all, what shall we let go on it's own merry giddy way, in the whistling opening space for the new to enter our own prize of life? &lt;br /&gt;     Blessings and bliss! I look forward to sipping some aromatic jasmine tea, and indulging ourselves with perhaps a crumpet or two with you again really soon! We can chat under the starlight and maybe find a beautiful tune to sway to beneath the luminous Moon on a whimsical summer's night. Ah to dance as the juniper and magnolia perfume the night and intoxicate our waiting imaginations! Tis a merry Heart to just think on these! &lt;br /&gt;Much Love and Many Blessings&lt;3&lt;3&lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Carmen &lt;br /&gt;Your SteamyPhilospher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***Be sure to sign up for the beautiful Spiritual Development online Magazine I write for called Synchronicity In Your Life.

Embrace Her Grace!</title><content type='html'>As I awoke this morning I envisioned Summer like a mystical Priestess standing on the edge of the ancient woods, gazing with the griffins and salamander, the sleepy sage and morning crocus anticipating who would be preparing for the new beginnings she usher's in. I imagine her gazing into the magick glistening &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Solstice&lt;/span&gt; archway, with beautiful golden chestnut glowing languid tresses, and a flowing beaded gown with posies gently crowning her head. I love to think of her more as a Goddess inviting us to renewal, as Winter leaves with his heavy coat heaved up on his shoulder and his weathered brow now relaxed as he heads out for a well deserved rest. Summer with all of her majestic embellishments graciously holds a luminous myriad of new possibilities that the Solstice brings to us. If we are willing to release dysfunction, accumulated stagnation, or any other issue bringing barrenness or zapping our vitality, these are better to be allowed to pass away into our past. If we are willing during this metamorphic time to make the efforts, she will light up the stepping stones to our new beginnings. Watch for the glimmer, a hushed moment when something inside of you feels a tingling sensation and a curiousity of something playful and whimsical right in the midst of all of your current delimas and concerns. I myself have spent most of my own Solstice clearing dust and crowded spaces in my own home in hopes that Summer would acknowledge these releases and help me to attune to a newer light energy synergistic within my environment, myself, with an emphasis to cultivate a healthy glow that resonates harmoniously with other's on my similar path of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;evolvement&lt;/span&gt;. Now my challenge to you would be to ask yourself what beautiful seeds can you plant that she can nourish with the Solstice Summer's birthing waters to bring you, and those you love, new fruition's to anticipate? Don't you just love seed's? Just one of God's many wondrous miracles we are blessed to have at any moment we choose! I just love to think of all of the sacred privileges offered in this one element. We can all be Guardians you know? In some form or other we are to even those we never will have knowledge that we are a source of inspiration and encouragement to. What a beautiful thought! Be the Blessing you are wishing you would receive and in that moment you are cultivating, enriching your own life journey by nourishing and supporting another's Dreams or their wellbeing. Imagine a luminous gentle ever present circle made up by us all, consciously aware or not is not the point, that we are unity, held in the hands of the Great Creator, that my Dear friends is one of our greatest treasures in all of our Humanity. Living in the Mortal world, communing with Higher Ground interchangably with Gratitude and Love as our Guides!&lt;br /&gt;Many Rich Blessings, And always remember "One random act of kindness illuminates and Blesses all of our Souls!"&lt;br /&gt;With Love and Blissful Wishes to each of You&lt;3 &lt;br /&gt;Your SteamyPhilospher&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8931666221779080098-7981419997740620462?l=steamyphilospher.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/7981419997740620462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/7981419997740620462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steamyphilospher.blogspot.com/2008/06/welcome-summer-embrace-her-grace.html' title='Welcome Summer!

Now that Cupid and Eros have had their dance and left us all a bit dazzled, it's time to grab a hold of ourselves and get back to our agenda's and responsibilities as Spring is skipping around the bend, making her way back into our lives. Yes, it is true she brings with her basket's to tuck into your apothecary for the Alchemical now in process. The stirring of seeds, hints of manifestations are hanging in the wind, but for now we are to sort out, organize and put our affairs, homes and what ever concerns us into the best order. Dormancy left us a myriad of hints, a beautiful cornucopia centerpiece highlighting our mantel as a thank you gift for his long stay, too long if you ask me, but I won't ruin his good mood as he whistles his way meandering just over the hill mingling with the sage and picking a few daffodils to tuck into his pocket for his beside table.. We, However; are now put to task to set aside what we shall call to order and what we will step aside of. You may feel a bit of trepidation, but ferret out those dusty dream books of yours, stop admiring those glimmering walnut shelves that hold what used to be your prized ambitions. Page through to see if one of your former passions, or past aspirations may be worth taking out for another more accomplished spin! Say with it absolute conviction this time! Instead of making a wish and sitting back in your comfy rocker, reclining, let's go a whole new route! Think Create! Let's get a story board going, for me it is more of a magical looking scrapbook, but there has to be a lot more than imagery, flights of fancy and visualization this time around Dear Readers! Grab a stack of magazines, pictures of what you truly desire, and snip and glue till the stars are peeking in and wondering what in the world is going on in your house? Let the paper fly to all corners of the room till your story finally comes together and you can see it everyday. It will lend you focus when you are feeling off track trying to fix your worn out compass. Just for the moment, lets not put all of our energy into visualizing magic and positive affirmations, while they certainly do have their own distinguished parts, do keep in mind, that for now, we must go into the root cellar and see what it is that we set aside to get lost in that tired old cellar because we simply gave up, or gave out, more to the point. Yes, you may have put ideas, perhaps some of your Dearest hopes, and a few dreams, on some out of the way shelf, but I am here to tell you it is not over and done, under that moss covered box or what ever you shelved, it is quite probable that germination was taking place. Remember Dormancy paid us a visit and had us looking over our archives and old photo albums, giving us a tap dance and singing ole lang zime. It was so easy getting caught up in old familiar smiles and beloved gestures, revisiting our fondest memories, glitter and confetti floating in the air above us like a dragonfly on a sunny Summer breeze mesmerizing us, his charm was intoxicating at first, after all it did distract us from all our worries, and the Crones with their pots of toxic anxious worry we fear will over take our sound minds. And by the way, not all Crones are up to mischief and dire secret inklings.. but that is another post. Back to germination, as hard as it could be to imagine, I am hear to blow a trumpet, to put a conch shell up to your ear, it is quite possible that the germination of what was left in the root cellar could now be ready to bring you a path of culmination! But you must invite your brilliant side out, wine and dine yourself, get out of your own way and get to moving! It doesn't have to be pretty, but it simply does have to be. OK, a little slowly at first is ok, but moving is a sure way to get the fires of creativity burning brightly again. Dance to some of your favorite music while you are alone just to get the hang of it again! It is sifting time, it is ok to march in place if you feel awkward at first, but do make some decisions, pause and ruminate if you must, but not for too long. March is standing in our doorways and beckoning for us to get out of our ruts and routine and to make some definite barking orders to call us out and get us going! Summer will be here with her beautiful new blossoms, Lacey petals and posies soon enough, but for now meandering is over and done and it's time to water the seedlings, mulch, put fresh flowers all over your house, light a couple of candles and most importantly tend to matters that will be evolving over the next progressions of our life paths. If you have dreams you gave up on, think rejuvenation! Go on a self restoration plan! What you feed your mind will bring you what you focus on.. If your focus is on Fear, lack in any area, you certainly do not want to cause that to flourish. Fill your mind and body with good things, bright intentions backed up with good study habits and physical actions that create. Go! Be it the attic or the cellar, the back of the closet .. clear out the clutter folks and find those Dreams and aspirations, dormancy is already asleep in his own place now tucked neatly under his down blanket. He has no thought of us anymore as he is busy in his dream world! It's is time to put out your chimes, sweep out any left over cob Webb's and pull back those dreary curtains and let the Sun bustle in sweeping away stagnation! The time is now, grab your paste, story boards and Dreams and let's get going!&lt;br /&gt;Much Love &amp; Many Blessings, &lt;br /&gt;Your SteamyPhilospher&lt;br /&gt;Carmen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Small PS~ Dream your glorious dreams but keep your feet firmly planted while you are gazing! Do pay attention, the journey can be magical or plain it is your choice after all! I say look for the magic in each new day, be filled with thankfulness up to the brim of your Spirit and remember that just one random act of kindness each day, not only sends a plethora of healing into the world but also makes people wonder what you are up to?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8931666221779080098-726498048693250930?l=steamyphilospher.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/726498048693250930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/726498048693250930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steamyphilospher.blogspot.com/2008/03/farewell-dormancy-may-your-slumber-be.html' title='Farewell Dormancy May Your Slumber Be Long &amp; Peaceful'/><author><name>SteamyPhilospher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04445858324892891210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_IxsGDNaL21E/R1hL-RZoLXI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-gwU5fDxxlc/S220/CarmenGlPressPic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931666221779080098.post-813900823332976434</id><published>2011-02-12T21:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-02-12T21:56:53.871-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome Eros The Ushers Are Waiting For Your Grand Entrance!</title><content type='html'>Welcome to the Journey Dear Readers! By way of introduction in today's post I write today Welcoming in Eros! Anticipation is making me swoon already because my fellow Sojourners, it is February, the time for sentimental expression of our Heart's desires, and an opportunity for proclamation of our esteem, affection and admiration's we mostly keep tucked within our Psyches. Lots send hearts and flowers, some just grin more than usual. But I say that this month usher's us into the realms of the Poets, the Artists, beautiful music and flower petals scattered out over all of our pathways! This particular doorway redefines the Age Of Aquarius. The Eclipses have now slipped into the background, but still they are going to join the orchestra, mingle with the crowd, and continue to bring a few unexpected party favors into the mix! They will be sending us some extra vibrant energies to emphasize our chance for true liberation, a lucky horseshoe to hang over our thresholds, helping us to dismiss any stagnation we have allowed to hang around wearing out it's welcome. Whoosh I am feeling a little light headed already, a bit flushed and curiously interested. With Eros coupled with handsome Cupid over seeing in the wings, what better way than to sneak some of cupid's glittery stash and sprinkle the daylight so that it's glimmers are sent out all over the world? That's why we are all here, chance meetings or those we have held Dear for eons, reunion and completing the circle of life we are all in this together. So fellows grab some Roses and unexpectedly give a lady the chance to blush. Ladies grab a few scented candles, some delicious gourmet groceries and make some lucky guy or the man of your Dreams a decadent meal, and run him a sensuous bath to change it up! Remember your home is your Palace so invite Eros in, and ask him for some Sage advice on how to spice things up! In honor of this month's celestials vibrancies I have written a poem I hope you will let yourself get lost in. Myself I am still simmering with visions too steamy to put to pen here, but those are some of my gems I keep to myself because it is proper. Whatever pushes your hearts buttons, or those secret private&lt;br /&gt;buttons we are better to keep hushed about, promise me that you will soak in at least some of those emanations being sent to us via this ushered in new era, it won't come along again so let business be business for awhile, and join me on the wings of the wind for a brief jaunt and just relax into Love in all of it's many forms!MuchLove,Light&amp;Blessings!&lt;br /&gt;        Carmen &lt;br /&gt; "The SteamyPhilospher"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And without further adduce my new poem follows this as do our Dreams! So do pay attention, the journey can be magical or plain it is your choice after all! I say look for the magic in each new day, be filled with thankfulness up to the brim of your Spirit, and remember that just One Random Act Of Kindness each day, not only sends a plethora of healing into the world but also makes people wonder what you are up to, and Blesses Us All! Let's be A Beautiful rainbow Light in Our World! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ardor In Twilight&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of the night jasmine if you rest in the splendor of daylight&lt;br /&gt;Regal blossoms awaiting the Twilight&lt;br /&gt;Glorious in fragrance, dormant in the brilliance of light&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes in light, languid beauty is squelched out&lt;br /&gt;In dusk sweet robins sing softly, warbling melodies tucked in their breast&lt;br /&gt;Wild juniper mingles erotic of musk, permeating the crown of the skies as the Sun gathers their skirts from Daylight boldly sunning themselves softly introducing the Shade&lt;br /&gt;The magic ethereal glistening waiting in the wings still shy in it’s repose&lt;br /&gt;I speak to you of recital, the sweet surrender of unfolding&lt;br /&gt;The lingering cadence of wanderers, Softly lit poplars silhouette the Minstrels lying by the stream&lt;br /&gt;No hushed gate just gentle mummers peaceful and eloquent as the Daylight leaves her own sultry scent, reminiscent fragrance of Authurian ballrooms, glistening euphorically on the polished ballastrads glowing luminescently just over the crest of the hill, scattering a path of posies and ribbons as She leaves to meet her Knight&lt;br /&gt;Do not be bewildered as you see the Moon cupping the night, a sweet aromatic canopy of the moonrise&lt;br /&gt;The jasmine will announce their recline, the sweet fragrance glimmering as we dance under the umbrella of the Moon&lt;br /&gt;Starlight glancing between the boughs intoxicating us in our newly found myrrh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author:Carmen Wright&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:Copyright@Jan31.08"&gt;Copyright@Jan31.08&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Rights Reserved&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8931666221779080098-813900823332976434?l=steamyphilospher.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/813900823332976434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/813900823332976434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steamyphilospher.blogspot.com/2008/02/welcome-eros-ushers-are-waiting-for.html' title='Welcome Eros The Ushers Are Waiting For Your Grand Entrance!'/><author><name>SteamyPhilospher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04445858324892891210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_IxsGDNaL21E/R1hL-RZoLXI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-gwU5fDxxlc/S220/CarmenGlPressPic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931666221779080098.post-3572536239707483651</id><published>2010-08-22T14:43:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-23T15:06:10.588-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome To The Journey</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Welcome into a new dimension of blogging, I ask you to check your skepticism at the door, tuck your logical linear mind into your hip pocket and enter into a new threshold, a doorway into a new way of thinking. A spiraling thought process of the supernatural, metaphysical, spiritual, and philosophical, a botany of thinking and intuiting on a higher level. Come journey with me into soaring the higher realms, and questing for a leave of absence, while in my blog, from the mundane and mediocrity that life can firmly entrench you into if you get too focused on crisis or even more simply, the trappings of daily stress. I am a Laurette Writer who passionately believes in all of the above and my writing is all about finding the golden thread of Spirituality, exploring, seeking and mingling with the Sacred, living and exploring the phenomenal in a decidedly complex duality that life brings to our doorsteps each day before we even have the chance to wake up and clear the mists of our dream worlds from our sleepy eyes. This blog is not about new age Huey, nor is it just for the whimsical fancies which of course is always welcomed. It's all about gathering, mentoring, supporting and embracing those of us who feel our mission is to honor, share and cultivate enlightenment and healing, and offer a place of creative solace, a bouncing of ideas, and leaping into a new threshold with a support system clipped to the seat of our pants ;&lt;)) So welcome, grab a star encrusted goblet of wine, grab your compass,( just for basic personal security for those who are way to into realism) and join me in a free float! Starlight Anyone? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah a pungent tidbit, a retrograde has just doubled back, cleverly taking notes from behind the willows. One never knows what that holds in it's back pocket! So be on alert but plan for magic! Remember what you anticipate can sneak up on you, so make sure your mind is on a prize you want to keep! If something is tarnished, or has lost it's sparkle, either get out your polishing cloth or send it on it's outdated way, it's always your choice, it's up to you to choose your level of discernment. Don't get so busy with your to do lists that the out moded starts to take roots, they can be stealth little curmudgeons before you even know it! &lt;br /&gt;Don't forget to check out Synchronicity In Your Life!

I imagine her with beautiful golden chestnut glowing languid tresses, and a flowing beaded gown with posies gently crowning her head. I love to think of her more as a Goddess inviting us to renewal, as Winter leaves with his heavy coat heaved up on his shoulder and his weathered brow now relaxed as he heads out for a well deserved rest. Summer with all of her majestic embellishments graciously holds a luminous myriad of new possibilities that the Solstice brings to us. If we are willing to release dysfunction, accumulated stagnation, or any other issue bringing barrenness or zapping our vitality, these are better to be allowed to pass away into our past. If we are willing on this day to make the efforts, she will light up the stepping stones to our new beginnings. Watch for the glistening.&lt;br /&gt;I myself spent most of my own Solstice clearing dust and crowded spaces in my own home in hopes that Summer would acknowledge these releases and help me to attune to a newer light energy &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;synergistic&lt;/span&gt; within my environment, myself, with an emphasis to cultivate a healthy glow that resonates harmoniously with other's on my similar path of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;evolvement&lt;/span&gt;. Now my challenge to you would be to ask yourself what beautiful seeds can you plant that she can nourish with the Solstice Summer's birthing waters to bring you and those you love new fruition's to anticipate? Don't you just love seed's? Just one of God's many wondrous miracles we are blessed to have at any moment we choose! I just love to think of all of the sacred privileges offered in this one element.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honoring this day is a great beginning!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8931666221779080098-6375329032826031223?l=steamyphilospher.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/6375329032826031223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8931666221779080098/posts/default/6375329032826031223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steamyphilospher.blogspot.com/2007/06/happy-summer-soltice-time-to-honor.html' title='Happy Summer Soltice ;&lt;) A Time to Honor'/><author><name>SteamyPhilospher</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04445858324892891210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_IxsGDNaL21E/R1hL-RZoLXI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-gwU5fDxxlc/S220/CarmenGlPressPic.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
