changes.
TODAY'S PHOTO -
a Lantana plant from a neighbor's garden.
In keeping with our practice of selecting a photo
that brings you a "message" for the weekend,
I chose this one representing the wish for you to
have a bright weekend with fun, variety and fulfillment.
The several colors on one stem also acts as a completion
to this week, where we started out, in Issue
53 with the Yesterday,
Today and Tomorrow flower with two purples and
a white on a single stem.
As an exercise for the weekend, observe some
of your experiences and pause from time to time
to check how many different perspectives can you
pull from just one experience. If they are not already
such, I invite you to you transform them all into
bright and empowering.
NEXT WEEK'S PHOTOS -
for those of you who might be getting bored
with flower photos, I will move back into birds
and other Nature shots. There is a beautiful wood
duck in the new Green Cay Wetlands that has been
waiting to visit with you.
READER COMMENTS - YESTERDAY'S PICTURE TO PONDER-
Issue
56
"Exquisite! So delicate and so powerful!"
"Nature is absolutely amazing. I never
realized just how beautiful an hibiscus is, and
I doubt that there are many in this world that have
ever looked at an hibiscus in this degree of depth.
The camera does an amazing job of displaying the
colors the color transitions, the patterns and the
detail it is absolutely gorgeous. And
yet, it occurs to me that if one continued to magnify
the image, the beauty would probably be lost to
the eye."
"Today's picture brings a sense of relaxation
to me. Looking at the beauty and splendor of this
hibiscus makes me think of the wonder of our Creator.
If He could care so much about a flower, how much
more does He care for us - created in His own image."
"I love the way the darker color fans out into
the lighter, more delicate pink. I also get the
feeling that the deeper color would feel like velvet
to the touch. The inner part (pistil??? stamens?
If you're going to keep presenting flowers, I may
have to brush up on botany.) gives me the impression
that a couple of finger taps would shower everything
with "gold" dust. "
Thank you for sharing your experience of the photo

TELECLASS
- MONDAY, March 7th at 1:00 PM ET -
Tapping into the Transformative Power of Anger
offered by Adela Rubio, who states:
"Many of us were trained to believe that
anger is a negative emotion. It was something
to be denied, suppressed, ignored. We were taught
to hide it from others and also from ourselves.
It wasnt nice, it wasnt good.
What if it held the seed of tremendous power? What
if we approached emotions in general as e-motion
energy in motion? What if our bodies, in
their immense intelligence, were trying to stir
us into awareness? What if that awareness
was information about our Passion?."
