" Am umblat cu cerşitul pe la păsări
Şi mi-a dat fiecare
Câte o pană.
Una înaltă de la vultur,
Una roşie de la pasărea paradis,
Una verde de la colibri,
Una vorbăreaţă de la papagal,
Una fricoasă de la struţ –
O, ce aripi mi-am făcut!
Mi le-am pus la suflet
Şi-am început să zbor.
Zbor înalt de vultur,
Zbor roşu de pasăre paradis,
Zbor verde de colibri,
Zbor vorbăreţ de papagal,
Zbor fricos de struţ –
O, ce-am mai zburat! "

Divine nature or human nature ?

Interviu cu Dumnezeu
" Ai vrea sa-mi iei un interviu, deci... zise Dumnezeu.
- Daca ai timp... i-am raspuns.
Dumnezeu a zâmbit. - Timpul meu este eternitatea... Ce întrebari ai vrea sa-mi pui?
- Ce te surprinde cel mai mult la oameni?
Dumnezeu mi-a raspuns: - Faptul ca se plictisesc de copilarie, se grabesc sa creasca.....iar apoi tânjesc iar sa fie copii; ca îsi pierd sanatatea pentru a face bani......iar apoi îsi pierd banii pentru a-si recapata sanatatea. Faptul ca se gândesc cu teama la viitor si uita prezentul iar astfel nu traiesc nici prezentul nici viitorul; ca traiesc ca si cum nu ar muri niciodata si mor ca si cum nu ar fi trait.
Dumnezeu mi-a luat mâna si am stat tacuti un timp. Apoi am întrebat: - Ca parinte, care ar fi câteva dintre lectiile de viata pe care ai dori sa le învete copiii tai?
- Sa învete ca dureaza doar câteva secunde sa deschida rani profunde în inima celor pe care îi iubesc.....si ca dureaza mai multi ani pentru ca acestea sa se vindece; sa învete ca un om bogat nu este acela care are cel mai mult, ci acela care are nevoie de cel mai putin; sa înv ete ca exista oameni care îi iubesc dar pur si simplu înca nu stiu sa-si exprime sentimentele; sa învete ca doi oameni se pot uita la acelasi lucru si ca pot sa-l vada în mod diferit; sa învete ca nu este suficient sa-i ierte pe ceilalti si ca, de asemenea, trebuie sa se ierte pe ei însisi.
- Multumesc pentru timpul acordat....am zis umil. Ar mai fi ceva ce ai dori ca oamenii sa stie?
Dumnezeu m-a privit zâmbind si a spus: - Doar faptul ca sunt aici, întotdeauna. "

Help me to help yourself
" Remember that the greatest help you can give a person is to wake them up, to remind them of who they really are. There are many ways to do this. Sometimes with a little bit of help; a push, a shove, a nudge ... and sometimes with a decision to let them run their course, follow their path, walk their walk, without any interference or intervention from you. (all parents know about this choice and agonize over it daily.)
What you have the opportunity to do for the less fortunate is to re-mind them. That is, cause them to be of a new mind about themselves. And you, too, have to be of a new mind about them, for if you see them as unfortunate, they will. Jesus’ great gift was that he saw everyone as who they truly are. He refused to accept appearances; he refused to believe what others believed of themselves. He always had a higher thought, and he always invited others to it.
Yet he also honored where others chose to be. He did not require them to accept his higher idea, merely held it out as an invitation. He dealt, too, with compassion—and if others chose to see themselves as beings needing assistance, he did not reject them for their faulty assessment, but allowed them to love their reality—and lovingly assisted them in playing out their choice. For Jesus knew that for some the fastest path to who they are was the path through who they are NOT. "

Three of Cups
Symbolism
The top goblet represents the Ace of Cups overflowing the five senses, filling and fulfilling the two cups below, flowing upward as well, to replenish the cup on top. The prismatic ring is the eternal circle of light, the full spectrum of emotion, that ties these all together and is ever constant, unbroken and infinite.
Gold, for the goblets is the purity of earth, the value and dearness of the precious metal and the physical heart. Gold for the Sun, of passion and fire, that brings the light and refracts it through water to create the prism of colors in their purest form. In this card, the emotions overflow and fulfill the emptiness of the two, which in turn overflow with fulfillment. The three cups can be seen as a progression, the first cup as the beginning, which links the two, and the two cups as a base for the one, or the one can be seen as the elevated creation/inspiration of the two cups.
The air surrounding this is rose pink, for the calm, soothing state of stability and balance... the warm fuzzy feelings that are created by love and fellowship in all its forms.
Card Meaning
The Three of Cups traditionally means joy and shared pleasures, creativity, dreams, intuition and imagination. This is a time of abundance, sharing, of reciprocating, of symbiosis that is interdependent and yet remains individualistic. It represents the glow and well being of companionship (three's company), "All for one, One for all," happiness, good fortune, because the rainbow has no end or beginning and encompasses all things within it, eternity and the fulfillment of emotional blessings. It is the outpouring of emotions and love that creates something greater from it.

Bilant 2009
A trecut si 2009.
M-am gandit sa fac o scurta retrospectiva, acum la inceput de an nou.
2009
- a inceput cu o inmormantare, dar in acelasi timp cu un sentiment de re-nastere
- a continuat cu mutarea mea singura in casa noua: am reusit sa mobilez apartamentul cu toate cele necesare la casa omului
- noi prieteni au aparut in viata mea
- altii vechi au plecat...(dar sa speram ca se vor intoarce intr-o buna zi)
- am primit in dar un diamant si l-am pus in cutia de bijuterii
- am fost la Roma si la Stockholm
- am citit multe carti interesante care, ca prin "coincidenta", aveau legatura intre ele
- am avut o discutie interesanta cu tata si relatia dintre noi a devenit mai buna
- frati-miu m-a pupat pe obraz...fara motiv (! noi ne pupam de obicei doar la zilele de nastere!)
- am fost la cateva concerte si piese de teatru emotionante
- a aparut Socrate in viata mea (pisica, nu filosoful ;)
- am vorbit cu Dan Puric
- am descoperit melodii minunate care mi-au incantat inima
cam asta ar fi, in mare, ceea ce m-a marcat in 2009
lista va continua si pe 2010
sper ca ati avut si voi un an plin de binecuvantari si impliniri :)
LA MULTI ANI !!!
