...The Angel of Life became
And transformed my dream
From a dream of fear
To a joyful comedy...
~Don Miguel Ruiz

Now I really think that I am dreaming

What a dream...hahaha
Must be all that rue you are eating.

We have to become aware that we are asleep.
Then we can awaken.

more music for dreams....

with love

Lilie

Here is someone to play us some soothing music,
this should give us some soothing dreams.

...in the silence of the night
make the flute play fully the song,
that makes the planets and moon
listen in wonder.
rabindranath Tagore

And Renoir's two young ladies are also trying to help us to listen to beautiful music in our dreams
*************************

What an easy simple song
this is.

Give me a ready ear
to wake up to that melody;
I'll not easily forget again.

~Rabindranath Tagore
******************************

so that I can see you better...

I can't believe what I am seeing,
maybe I am still asleep...must be dreaming

I think I am still in the land of dreams as well
Not sure I want to leave here, but coffee is calling.

Gisele

I come running,runing...thinking of a song by
Carol King, long time ago...

From long ago...

Somewhere over the rainbow...

Time to go to sleep

I remember a beautiful song... Con Te...sung by Andrea Bocelli a few years ago. Sarah Brightman also sang it. It was really beautiful

Vicky

Aloha Oe!
Hawaiian Song of Farewell.

Written by Queen Liliuokalani while she was in captivity in the Iolani palace in Honolulu, Hawaii.

And guess what I found.

I have lost myself in God, and now God is mine.
Don't look for him in every direction, for He is
in my soul.
~Rumi

************************************************

So beautiful, Inda



with love

Lilie

Without love there will be no joy and no festivity in the world.
Without love, there will be no true living and no harmony.
If a hundred raindrops pour down from the clouds to the sea
Without love's doing, a pearl will not form in the deepest waters.
~Rumi
************************************************

were you inspired by Deepak?



Love,
Lilie

Dear Lilie,

I am always inspired when I go to listen to Deepak, but I loved Rumi before I ever met Deepak.
********************************************

The 'Thief of Sleep'
Is wishing my altar wet with tears.
Without a sound,
not even a breath,
in total stillness,
he grabbed me in dream,
threw me in water,
in sweet water.
Now the rose and the thorn are one,
and the fragrance,
is rejuvenating Paradise.
~Rumi

Still enjoying all those beautiful dreams and the poetry.

Thank you All.
Good night to you

Gisele

I see I have missed some passages here .... Your contributions are beautiful. I had a dream, I had a dream, what was it about?? hmmm

I was up in great heights!

Love and light. Margherita


I’m open to love
my heart invites you to dance
come share my delight


senryu by Margherita

Dear Margherita,
So happy you are back to share the dreams,
and thank you for being here Gisele.

You soared right into the sky. My dream almost wanted to send me flying into things
Somehow never managed to get up so high

wonderful poems Inda..and yes, I guess time for some flying again. I found this little girl....Margherita it is alway nice to see you here again!

Dear Friends,
I am really tired today, so I am now going to go to sleep
Before I do, I will leave you with another Rumi.

************************************************
Last night
my lover came.
He was drunk,
and began caressing my hair.
My faced was picking tulips from his face.
I said,
you don't have to embrace me so hard.
Don't worry. I am not going anywhere.
From the time my face was created,
it never turned away from the ka'ba
of your face.
~Rumi

*****************

I like all the poetry and the dreams .
I really like the 'Friend'. He is so cute

Vicky

I love Rumi, did not get to understand the picture of picking tulips from somebody´s face....anyhow



Lilie

I didn't really get that either, but maybe it is unique to the lion

The heart and the clock both keep a beat

Now the clock says it is time for me to go to sleep. So I send you all sweet dreams
and my

And night have come to this place...and I thought of wanting to send you some radiant presence....



Love,
Lilie

Thank you Lilie,
I can feel the radiance.

Here it is already morning and so I will send you some light.

Love, Inda

That light hit me so...

'What I once thought of as God
I met today as a human being.'
~Rumi

And here comes a break through...

From 'The Children's Hour'
~By: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the day's occupations,
That is known as the Children's Hour...

Something to make us dizzy..
help, my son is standing here
counting seconds....


Love,
Lilie

Feeling dizzy allright

The cat is a bit scary...
more dizziness!!

Feeling really dizzy

Now that we are all feeling dizzy, I guess the best thing to do is to lie down and go to sleep

Now it is time to say good night.
Pleasant dreams to you all.

Love, Inda

I am so glad to have found this picture to our collection. And I have liked so many of your contributions



Love,

Lilie

Thank you Lilie,
this is a very beautiful painting.
***********************************

I billow upon the plains and embellish them, I breathe the air and perfume it. I embrace sleep, and the myriad eyes of night stare at me; I seek wakefulness, that I might gaze upon the solitary eye of day.
~Kahlil Gibran

Such immense beauty! For all lovers


artist; Nicholas Roerich, Remember

Lilie

A prayer sheep

This thread is getting more and more beautiful all the time.

Thank you very much everyone.

Gisele

I think this little one is praying as well:

The clear sky,
The green fruitful earth is good;
But peace among men is better.

Till my life shall end,

invocation



Love,
Lilie

May the grace of the night's stillness be mine
may the grace of the moon's guidance be mine
may the grace of heaven's vastness be mine
to renew my soul in sleep
to enlighten my dreams in the night
to open my spirit to eternity
until the angels of light awaken me
until the morning angels awaken me.
~Celtic Prayer

That prayer is so beautiful, Inda

Here a poem by Rumi:


In your light I learn how to love.

In your beauty, how to make poems.

You dance inside my chest,

where no one sees you,

but sometimes I do,

and that sight becomes this art

artist: Roerich;Blessed arrow

Dear Lilie,
The painting is beautiful.

Every forest branch moves differently
in the breeze, but as they sway
they connect at the roots.
~Rumi

**************

I appreciate the atmosphere and light in that painting....



Love,
Lilie

Thank you Lilie,
Have beautiful dreams tonight.

This night extends into eternity,
like a fire burning inside the Friend.
truly knowing this is what joy is.
Forgetting it is grief, and a lack of courage.
~Rumi

************

Such a perfection in that plate...




With love
Lilie

Gold becomes constantly more and more beautiful
from the blows the jeweler inflicts on it.
~Rumi

*************
We are having some very strange and interesting dreams tonight.

What dreams?

This really is a dream. It has lifted me up on a cloud.

Beautiful
Gisele

Dear Lilie,
This IS a dream...so beautiful!
*******************************

The way of love is not
a subtle argument.

The door there
is devastation.

Birds make great sky-circles
of their freedom.
How do they learn it?

They fall, and falling
The're given wings.
~Rumi

*********

Falling in love

As I started to fall,
love lifted me up.
**********************

May I and my spirit
live and rest in peace this night...
~From a Tahitian traditional prayer

Sleeping to music

Waking up to the sound of music

reminded of the movie

Dear Lilie,
What a beautiful scenery. I was just going to post this

I haven't had time to check this thread in a while. I am glad that it is still going with full force.
Thank you everyone for your input. I am at work and therefore not able to post any images, but I really enjoy what is here.

Sue

and now time to sleep again. Lautrec moved over here...

Good Night Everyone,
After a busy day this is how I feel


~Nobody can say it better than Lautrec

You must be exhausted...I am too
Found this image, which I could not
resist...
