Kindness

Hello God!

Thank You for Your Gift of natural kindness. We all are born with kind heart. I feel your smile now because of the rays of kindness these photos radiate.

The children teach us and remind that we all are naturally gifted by kindness and love.

Kind hearts are the gardens,

Kind thoughts are the roots,

Kind words are the flowers,

Kind deeds are the fruits,

Take care of your garden

And keep out the weeds,

Fill it with sunshine,

Kind words,

and Kind deeds.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Thank you for sharing with me your smile and kindness. Good night, friend. Our dreams are going to be colourful and flying tonight. We deserve it.

Snow Queen

Published on January 29, 2014 by Glorialana23 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for winter. It is the blessed season by the Snow Queen. I have met her in a winter forest where I was walking thinking about my way in life. The question was about my frozen, unfortunately and I do hope temporally, will, my weak will power. I had no found a strength to go to a swimming pool, I had missed my yoga class and I had not written a word here for whole week… Laziness-sorceress hugged me last days.

The answer was from the Snow Queen in a winter forest. She has appeared as in a dream. You know what surprised me? She is fantastically beautiful. I suppose Alexis Marcou have seen the same dream I saw and his artistic gift allowed him to visualise the Queen.

I see her reflection in every snow flakes and the frozen lake mirrors her exceptional beauty. Winter forest is amazing…

She said me: “It does not matter what was in the past, what you are doing now matters. There is no place for guilt and regret, if you want to go ahead”. So today I am different. I have swum in a swimming pool today and I am happy to write these words now. I am free from the hugs of Laziness-sorceress. It is a paradox why her hugs were so warm, but bitterness was inside after.

She stood there dressed in cold white down
as soft winds swirled around her.
Her angelic face smiled
as she surveyed her wonderland.
Her time had come again
as it did once a year
to cleanse the world white,
making it seem bright
under the pale moon.

by David Harris

The Snow Queen makes the world brighter and cleaner. I know it for sure now, because I have this happy possibility to feel your eyes I endlessly love and I am inspired by. Thank you for your help to free me from sugar-poisonous hugs of Laziness-sorceress. I am free and immunised for the sorcery by the Snow Queen and you.

Greece

Published on January 23, 2014January 23, 2014 by Glorialana15 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for Greece and the Greeks. “I came to the Greeks early, and I found answers in them. Greece’s great men let all their acts turn on the immortality of the soul. We don’t really act as if we believed in the soul’s immortality and that’s why we are where we are today.” Edith Hamilton‘s golden words express my thoughts perfectly.

Today I am in a frozen country where the temperature -21°C. From the other hand I have a pleasure of warming my soul by paintings of Greek artist Pantelis Zografos with harmonious poetic accompaniment of genius Oscar Wilde.

The sea was sapphire coloured, and the sky
Burned like a heated opal through the air;

We hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair
For the blue lands that to the eastward lie.

From the steep prow I marked with quickening eye
Zakynthos, every olive grove and creek,
Ithaca’s cliff, Lycaon’s snowy peak,
And all the flower-strewn hills of Arcady.

The flapping of the sail against the mast,
The ripple of the water on the side,
The ripple of girls’ laughter at the stern,
The only sounds: -when ‘gan the West to burn,

And a red sun upon the seas to ride,
I stood upon the soil of Greece at last!
Oscar Wilde

Thank you for warming me by sharing a pleasure of dreaming about wonderful land, Greece, where great men let all their acts turn on the immortality of the soul.

Love in Paris

Published on January 22, 2014January 22, 2014 by Glorialana17 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for Paris. This city is special in my destiny. I with my Dream Man had decided to marry there. You know I love to return to this happy time because the good memory of the crystal clearness about our future together works. It, this memory, works really good in a cloudy times.

We were walking hand in hand and Paris was our love song our heart were singing in unison. As on these wonderful paintings by French artist Jacques Guignard.

She plays the violin in happy dreams about Love.

He asks the Moon to help in finding her.

They are together now and the rain is dancing in a joy to see them under an umbrella.

Their Love is blooming in Paris. But who is in blue? Nobody, just shade of fear to loose the feelings.

The river Senna has taken out all fears and Love freely flows in their hearts.

Their wedding dance is waltz of Love, of course, by Strauss.

Miracle have happened. The embodiment of Love is on the way. “Salut!” their daughter will say in French, because of Love in Paris.

Thank You for your light smile and a small tear from your eyes because of sweet memory we have just relived again.

Snegurochka, Mizgir, Kupava

Published on January 21, 2014 by Glorialana4 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for love we all live in and love stories we create. As I promised tonight is devoted to fairy tale about Snegurochka again. Snegurochka’s love story is as old as Greek ancient world where Aristotle teaches us to love. And this story will repeat again and again…

Oh, la,la, all faces are familiar. Snegurochka (Julie Gayet), Mizgir (Francois Hollande), Kupava (Valerie Trierweiler) are on the stage tonight.

Father Frost and Spring Beauty had a daughter, Snegurochka, whose heart was made of ice. Her heart was unable to know love. But she was young and beautiful and she wanted to live and know what love was.

One day a rich merchant came through town. His name was Mizgir, and he was young and tall. Mizgir stopped in the village, called to all the young girls, gave them nuts and spiced bread, and danced with Kupava. She was the belle of the town, parading around in velvets and silks, serving sweet wines to the youths and the maidens and living the joyful life. From that moment he never left town, and, it must be said, he soon became Kupava’s lover.

Kupava had announced her own wedding to Mizgir. The ceremony took place, but then Mizgir noticed Snegurochka, and… became smitten with her, and begged her to love him. Yes, it was love from the first sight.

As we know Snegurochka was a creature from snow and ice. So she asked her mother, Spring Beauty, for help, but as flowers duly emerged under the Sun, the Snegurochka’s heart began to melt because of the fire of love. Mizgir had found her, and she was able to love him. They went to the Tsar, who blessed their marriage. But Snegurochka’s destiny was to die, having discovered the meaning of love. As she melted away, Mizgir, unable to live without her, threw himself into the lake.

There is no happy end in a love triangle story. All participants are wounded. Mizgir has lost his reputation. Snegurochka goes to a psychotherapist for antidepressants. Kupava has just left a hospital after heart attack. Nobody is happy and right here.

We are a mortal humans. Perhaps, to have the gift of discovery of the meaning of love is a good price for all pain and wounds?

Thank You for thinking with me.

Snegurochka

Published on January 20, 2014 by Glorialana12 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for this winter and beautiful Monday. I with my daughter have stayed at home today due to frozen and cold weather. So having a happy possibility to read to my child a wonderful Russian fairy tale is a great pleasure I would like to share with you.

To understand who and how the main hero of tonight’s fairy tale looks like I have found a fantastically beautiful photos by Olga Valeska. The fairy tale is “Snegurochka” or (the Snow Maiden in English).

Once upon a time there lived a woodcutter and his old wife. The wood cutter and his wife were both kind and hardworking but they were also sad and lonely, for they were childless and there was no-one to care for them or to help them through the cold winter.

The couple made a girl out of snow. A miracle happened in the form of a snow sculpture who came alive to be their daughter they never had. She bought lot of joy to the households though did not had a long life. They called her Snegurochka.

Once, she went to woods along with few village children and when it got dark, they made a fire and the girls started playing by jumping over the flames. When Snegurochka jumped, she got melted and turned herself into a white cloud…

So Snegurochka melted away, her spirit was caught by Ded Moroz (Father Frost).

My daughter is 5 y.o. and this fairy tale is for children. I promise to tell you a love story of Snegurochka and Lel soon. Love triangle is in the story. Are you intrigued?

Thank you for reading and have a beautiful week!

Flying Dream

Hello God!

Tasseography

Published on January 15, 2014January 15, 2014 by Glorialana8 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for my tiny cup of coffee I am enjoying now. Something magical is in the air. Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love – Prime Minister of France Charles Maurice De Talleyrand said about coffee. We are indebted to great French travellers for much valuable knowledge about this divine beverage. Yes, the French know everything about pleasures of life.

“…The plant with the jessamine-like flowers is the most exquisite perfume of Araby the blest given to the human race by the gift of the Gods” I am reading in “All about Coffee” by William Harrison Ukers.

Today’s night, you know the period from 7 to 19, January is “Sviatki”, when a fortune telling is eligible and true, I dedicate to tasseography. Wonderful paintings of Harry Roseland create miraculous atmosphere for the fortune reading. Soft light and clear kind and tender faces of participants of this magic ritual promise a happy vision.

Tasseography, also known as tasseomancy or tassology, is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments.

Psychologists approve the method as helpful – the process of tasseography stimulates the imagination to create individualized interpretations and solutions. Coffee reading is a fun, healthful and creative way to listen to yourself, they think. So let’s try!

Do you know what I see in my cup? It is an apple! The symbol of apple means achieving new knowledge. Oh, that is true, I am incredibly happy to share with you tonight’s new knowledge about tasseography. I have never heard about it before.

Thank you for this possibility to share my world, it makes today worth to live.
