Pick one and see what you discover

 It's time for another True Treasures

Dona Anderson

What are true Treasures?

I share a lot from my books and True Treasures became a chance for me to share a bit more from a particular meditation. 

You can see previous True Treasures posts by linking to the label True Treasures at the bottom of the post.

 This one is from Words to Be savored and treasured 

  #27 on page 75 in  Moving Forward from the Heart. 

The meditation starts by asking you to select one thought from the list for your Meditation and see what you discover.

This is not the complete list but you can get a feeling for the intent of the meditation.

  

*Compliments should not be kept as thoughts, they should be given and also received.

*Some words can mean the same thing, but get a totally different response.

*A friendly greeting or acknowledgement can create a feeling of welcoming and belonging, and let someone know you care.

*Say words that match your happy heart and face.

*Talk about the way you want to be, and use your words to make your dreams come true"

My search for Love

took me back to Rumi,

13th century poet.

Celebrating Rumi, Last Class 

Several years ago I had a great time being introduced to so many wonderful poems by Rumi, and listening to them being read aloud by the different voices of the class.

I enjoyed some of the poems just as they were on the surface, while others beckoned me to look further and deeper.  

There can be many layers of interpretation as numerous thoughts and feelings arise. 

The more read the more experienced.  

Even as a beginner to these poems, some left me thinking about things, people and experiences in my own life, and some offered a glimpse of change in the way I look at things.

The last class was especially memorable.   

We got to take turns sharing one of our favourite poems with the class, and then something wonderful happened. 

One of the ladies brought to share the poem below.  

She also brought her classical guitar and had arranged music so she could play and sing the poem for us.  

For me, who had just started learning guitar, it was the best way to end this class, and let me know I was where I was supposed to be.

For me that day, it compared to a big bowl of the best fresh garden strawberries of my dreams on delicious smooth ice cream … in that moment - everything else melted away. 

I sat, loved it all, and wanted more!  

You & I - by Rumi

“A moment of happiness,

You and I sitting on the veranda,

Apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.

We feel the flowing water of life here,

You and I, with the garden’s beauty

And the birds singing.

The stars will be watching us,

And we will show them

What it is to be a thin crescent moon.

You and I unselfed, will be together,

Indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.

The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar

As we laugh together, you and I.

In one form upon this earth,

And in another form in a timeless sweet land.”

~ Rumi ~

Have you ever taken a course not knowing what to expect and loved it.

Sometimes I think adult learning is the most fun.

Ann - Thank You very much for creating this class which started the group on our exciting search for anything Rumi.

I still love to go on You Tube and listen to poems read aloud. 

💚

these posts with others around the world.

What do you get when you mix Grass & Words

This ...

Dona Anderson

I can't lie,

I didn't know what I was doing.

I said to myself ...

Why do I need to take a picture of GRASS?

Then one day I looked at it and saw a soft 

place for Words to visit & rest.

So, I started flipping through the pages of Simply, One Breath At a Time and a few minutes later I had enough good words the fill the picture.

And YES, there is one word that doesn't match the set up of the rest.

See if you can find it.

Now, I have a 

Garden of good Words.

and they're earthing!

Can't wait to share with you a post I wrote telling you more and it'll be published on October 15th.
