This gave me chills...and made me sick.

Good Morning All- Please keep Japan and her people in your positive thoughts...for myself I have family there-Japan is my home country. I am devastated watching the news. My uncle and his family live in Sendai. The last time I received an update they were safe. I am hoping they have evacuated by now. We are unable to reach them (since Friday)... Peace and Love

As cicadas chant, trilling in their song, Come on and dance along!

What a fine lunchtime, Pizza piled high, more cheese please! Gulp it down and burp!

Peace and beauty moves, through the heart and soul of you, If you'll just let them.

Hmmm since the topic of oil seems to make people think of scams.... What does this make you think? Or am I going to hear more of the don't manipulate nature rhetoric? Isn't that what we've done...simply by ignoring, not thinking and being greedy? Water= A basic human right? Nope...like everything else in this world...ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

Good Morning Manitou- Part of the reason I ended up here....life handed me a childhood of various forms of abuse, and then I managed to marry a man who abused me then my daughters in the same way I was abused as a child. He (and his entire family) are Bible thumping Christians. Anytime I argued about what I felt was wrong with what we were subjected to in church...which I did often, ended up in week long arguments. Then the day I found out about my girls...I turned my back forever on organized religion. Between the Catholicism I grew up with (after a very young childhood of being exposed to Zen Buddhism by my Japanese side of the family- going to Catholic church really perplexed me!!) and the hypocritical "church family" from my marriage...DONE. Once I broke free, I found myself thinking back to the Zen Buddhism. Little by little, I started exploring other studies of spirituality. Looking back now, I went to what IMO was as far as I could from christianity to basically Paganism. Lol silly Bee thinking I was so HA take that! It took a while to just finally realize that I needed to find me. In doing so I found my way to amazing things. A new life with my children. A real love. Even to this day, I am still finding myself. The TTC has helped me with that. It helps me, everyday. To finally let go of residual anger. To open my eyes and see. I came to it because part of me was Tao without ever knowing..and knowing now is just AWESOME! Peace and Love Samantha

Paradise awaits, Lying closely together, the dream can begin.

A crystal slipper, Oh my what a fairy tale! A happy ending?

Well said

I'm, er, dieting Wait, I'm vegetarian! Do you have any corn?

While I am no weather manipulator, I will send positive thoughts your way...for a small storm (I've gone through some nasty hurricanes in my time) and for everyone's safety. Be well, stay safe! Peace and Love

If Zeitgeist is too much for folks here...maybe just something that is gentler....kid friendly even. A little Wall-E to let you know that our world is heading there...all that garbage created by people with their wants, wants, wants...with how many things made of OIL??? We've hit peak oil and peak soil. We cannot continue to stick our heads in the ground and ignore whats in our face. I know...you think...what can I do? Or worse yet..why should I bother? Nothing will happen in MY generation. Fear will get you no where. Peace and Love

Seeing all, the hills Have eyes! Run away right now! Why am I afraid?

My wanderlust grows, But my job ties me in place, Soon I will be free.

I am most definitely a Green. And unfortunately we do have to battle. Ever watch Food Inc? If you go to Monsanto's website, they attempt to justify what they have done to farmers, how "safe" their GMO seeds etc are... Greeds is right...call them like you see them.

Biscuit games? I'd chuck that penny too...you never know how old that biscuit is!!

The moon was stunning! I wish pics of the moon would come out better...every time I try, they just do not do the moon justice. She is truly a stunner

Good Evening! First let me preface this with how grateful I am to have a job I just wish it didn't put me in the role of upper management! Due to downsizing in the company..I have been upsized so to speak. I initially started in the company as a middle manager. I was happy with that-it gave me the income I needed to support my family as a single parent. Here I am almost 4 years later-no longer a single parent but now so high up on the food chain at work it makes me nauseated! I can whine and whing all I like that I didn't ask for it, its here and I have to deal. I am currently reading a book on Taoism and Leadership- since I really wanted to combine them. WOW talk about a task. The stress alone makes one and then to incorporate what I am admittedly still learning just about Taoism... Any advice? Would love to hear! Thanks~ Peace and Love <3

Its all the responsibility. I despise being responsible for when Tom, Dick or Jane muck something up. Or having to fix everyone's issues. Responsibility blows. Yup having a tough day. Bah.

Portuguese Custard Tarts! Yes, totally had to look it up. Hmmm looks yummy!

Yes indeed it was Jane. And I love that movie. It fascinates me...time travel
