Thank You for the Miracle of breathing and seeing our beautiful world. We are on the Pink Granite Coast. What’s the magician place! The King and the Troll are waiting for us.
The Pink Granite Coast, so-called because of the colour of its rocks, is one of the most beautiful stretches of Brittany’s ( France) coastline. This type of pink rock can only be found in two other places in the world, Corsica and China.
Be wary of the loathsome troll
that slyly lies in wait
to drag you to his dingy hole
and put you on his plate.
His blood is black and boiling hot,
he gurgles ghastly groans.
He’ll cook you in his dinner pot,
your skin, your flesh, your bones.
Do you recognise your fear? Ha-ha, this funny stony troll is your biggest obstacle to live a life you want! Could you imagine that the troll’s tongue in Miley Cyrus style is your fear which is kidding on you?!
The Lion is Courage.
He is your King
You have forgotten
In the friendship with the troll.
The Path is difficult
But only yours.
The King will open you the door
The key is yours, it is Courage.
“Our route toward spiritual evolution is radiantly clear. We all have our own unique individual journey to walk toward enlightenment. Living on the brink of evolutionary change means that new ground is being broken and new consciousness is being raised. Truth is of the essence – we have no dogma, no set formula, no prescribed rules, no false standards to follow,” Linda Tucker is writing in her “Mystery Of The White Lions”.
“All we have is the truth within our souls. I believe most of us want to follow the light, the path of healing and not destroying our earth, but we don’t have the courage, the lion heart, to follow our individual truth toward enlightenment. Giving in to our fears, we bury our “gold” beneath the false value systems of our societies, and we attempt to comfort ourselves with the notion that we have no power or responsibility for what is happening to our world. The reality is that, potentially, we all have the power of light – the Lion – within us. The very first step is to overcome our fears. Thereafter, our hearts will lead the way.”
The very first step is to overcome our fears. Thereafter, our hearts will lead the way – I repeat Linda’s words again and again.
Below I suggest you to spend just 5 minutes of your life for a wonderful and encouraging animation with magic music from Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg.
You know the troll is just a picture my imagination have created. Have you really seen the troll? So, congratulations, you are in my company. We are here to overcome our fears. Thank you for sharing my way.
Thank You for Moscow. I love this city. I was studying and working there and it was the happiest time in my life. When the West is going to celebrate Thanksgiving, we have our own entertainments.
A Loius Vuitton trunk-shaped pavilion has appeared on the Red Square. The luxury brand said the pavilion was inspired by sketches of a trunk which belonged to Russian Prince Wladimir Orloff and had his monogram “P.W.O.” in large letters on the front.
The trunk was supposed to host the Spirit of Adventure exhibition of designer suitcases on December 2, but its fate already looks in doubt.
We, Russians, are so unpredictable and spontaneous. Louis Vuitton fashion house asked to remove the pavilion from Red Square almost in a day when it is was installed. The main reason of this authorities decision is unpatriotic advertisement of French fashion house on the main Square of Russia. But this summer Dior was allowed on Red Square. I said we are so unpredictable and spontaneous.
The pavilion is going to be removed to Park Gorkogo. It will be nice to have a possibility to see the Spirit of Adventure exhibition. I hope the adventure of Louis in Moscow will have a happy end.
Thank You for inspiring my parents to send me in a musical school. As a result I am a pianist and you know a lot of facets of life I see in a musical forms. Today I am inspired by Rondo.
Rondo is an Italian word that means round. In music a Rondo is a piece of music which has one main theme, which is heard several times, and other musical ideas in between each time. If we give the main theme a label “A” and the other musical ideas “B”, “C”, “D” etc. then the form of a rondo can be described as ABACADA. The sections in between the main “A” section are called “episodes”.
In our Sweet Rondo the main theme (A) is Chocolate. Episodes are Marzipan (B), Praline (C) and Marmalade (D). Could you hear it: Chocolate, Marzipan, Chocolate, Praline, Chocolate, Marmalade, Chocolate? Mmmmouthwatering!
So close your eyes and feel the pleasure of chocolate as it melts upon your tongue, feel the different episodes in our sweet rondo.
Thank you very much for sharing my inspiration and enjoining the moment with a cup of coffee and a chocolate candy. I am with you!
Thank You for a dolls our children play with. You know I tell you a secret, whispering “I am writing this post because of my child is busy with her dolls”. Thank you, dolls of my daughter.
We were walking around wonderful Château de Josselin and the French told us how to love in the previous post. Today the French family – the owner of the castle share with us the code to the Key to Immortality.
At the end of the 19th century, the Duchess de Rohan, great-grandmother the present owners of the castle, started to collect dolls. She has collected a dolls and toys of children for four generations and the fine collection was born.
This private collection, the most important in France, is composed of more 5000 dolls, toys and games, ranging from the 17th century up to present day.
“Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows”, said John Betjeman. I know now why our own faces are grey in a mostly cases – because of this dark hour of adolescence.
My pretty, pretty Josselina
You live in the country
Where the Sun is brighter
The grass is greener.
Celestial Light of childhood,
I am floating in,
Gives the rays of understanding
The main enigma of life:
Why Le Petit Chaperon Rouge is so kind to tell to wolf a road to grandmother?
Why my Nanny is so sweetheart?
The code of the Key to Immortality
These little angels are telling to us:
We live in our children.
And children are fruits of Love.
Thank you for sharing this happy moment with me. We are kinder and wiser now than we were a second ago. Our faces are smiling and lighter, because of the happy knowledge about the code.
Thank You for my jewellery box I keep my treasures in. Every girl genetically loves her jewellery box. You know why? Because every jewellery box you have ever seen keeps a secret always involving a heart of owner. Her romantic heart and the finer things of life the jewellery box contains…
Let’s open the heavy door of the Chateau de Josselin, Brittany, France.
As a cunning fox, as my curious daughter wants to see inside my jewellery box, we try to open the lid of the beautiful jewellery box we have found on the table. What is the secret inside? “Ni vous sans moi, ni moi sans vous” (“Neither you without me, neither I without you”) my cheeks are red a little because of touching a love story. Oh la,la, the French love love.
The history of France says L’Amour (Love) is the Ruler and Le Plaisir (Pleasure) is the Constitution. This architectural Masterpiece proves the statement. Everybody around this castle was in love. Do you feel it?
There are a soft fire of the rubies, there are the brilliant purple of the amethysts, and the sea green of the emeralds – all shining together in incredible union. We are mesmerised by treasures of the jewellery box and we can just imagine a love moments its keep inside.
The best way to see a love moments you try to imagine seeing inside of the jewellery box is to take your soulmate by hand and go to eat an ice cream in a cafe you have met then under an umbrella kiss each other as at the first time. It was raining, do you remember?
The hand written notes we have found should be kept in every jewellery box on our planet. “Neither you without me, neither I without you”,please, write her a note. Her heart and jewellery box will keep it forever with the secret of your happiness. The Ruler is Love, by the way. The French know it for sure. So do we now.
Thank you for sharing with me this romantic and full of love moment.
Thank You for creating Inspiration for an artists. I am lucky to see and feel a piece of art by Simon Augade. The installation was in the palace La Roche-Jagu garden, Brittany, France.
“‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” says Lewis Carroll’s Alice. I was asking myself the same question, when I was inside this strange building. The first sensation was dizzying in my head.
“Alice-in-Wonderland syndrome is a neurological condition where a person experiences a complete distortion of perceptual reality. They experience acute visual disorders relating to shape, size, colour, and the relationship of objects. They are confused by everything they perceive”. My condition was described by these symptoms.
The second sensation was uplifting freedom, my spirit was aspiring to the skies. Understanding a temporality of the material things was natural and acceptable without doubts.
“I have built the box which lid is light. This building engages all of my senses, all my involvement … I thus created a space that insulates, while finding myself at the foot did not belong to me,” French artist said about his Masterpiece.
Who in the world am I? I am living spirit in the body I own in the space and time. I am you, your joys and your sorrows, your memories and ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will. I am your face and yours is mine. Thank you for this possibility to live.
Thank You very much for the Green Door we enter in the moment of our first breath.
“So welcome to the lighthouse
which is your body you’ll live your life”,
I am catching this thought from somebody above.
I still remember that
I was an angel with light wings
And the skies I was flying freely in…
My feelings are uncomfortable now.
What’s the surprise, it is so narrow!
How am I going to live here?
Bright smiles of well known eyes
Help to understand: I am a human,
A girl, a daughter.
I am a Lighthouse – a house of the Light!
My story is going to be happy…
The photo I took in Binic, France. We all are lucky to enter in the Green Door. So we have to remember we are a lighthouses for each other. “A lighthouse is not interested in who gets its light! It just gives it without thinking! Giving light is its nature!” I try to follow by these words of Mehmet Murat iLdan to give you Light as bright as I can produce. Thank you for your Light I am enjoying and floating in now.
Thank You for ability to restore our bodies with nature’s help. It seems we are going to be free from antibiotics in this season. Eucalyptus and mint herbs have done a really good job. My child is almost healthy and my mood is uplifting. So it is time to start a new week with pleasure to happily think. Today I am walking with three philosophers and listening their talking.
You see them on the painting “The Three Philosophers” by Italian High Renaissance artist Giorgione.
The Wine is old man, the Cheese is in middle age and the Apricot is young boy. The three men are talking about perennial question of philosophy: What is Truth?
The old Wine philosopher is singing: I live so long and know this life, la,la,laaaa, the truth is in Soul. “Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.” (Walt Whitman)
The middle Cheese philosopher thinks: the truth is in Mind. “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” (Joseph Addison)
The young Apricot dreamingly whispers: the truth is in Heart. ““To a young heart everything is fun.” (Charles Dickens)
You see the Wine, the Cheese and the Apricot are right. My photo etude visualises their talking. I am not a photographer, sorry for quality, the photo is just for idea.
Soul, Mind and Heart are keeping Truth of life but together in Great Harmony of Universe.
Thank you for enjoying this moment with me. Have a happy and philosophical week! Philosophy is a honey nectar for Soul, Mind and Heart.
Thank You for healing herbs I use in a treatment of season’s cold. Yes, I and my daughter have a cold. It is terrible to lift up my sleepless glassing head, barking cough is loud and my crying nose works bad. Sometimes it happens, so the picture is well known for our cold and rainy fall.
The worst thing is my child is sick. The last night was difficult. The symptoms were the same besides the temperature of the body, mine was normal, my daughter’s was high. I try to keep the sane approach and do not call to the emergency immediately (it is really hard to do it “keep the sane approach”). My daughter is 5 y.o and for this time I have learned to trust mother’s intuition. “Nothing to be afraid, she is Ok, high temperature is a normal reaction of healthy child on the attaking virus” I heard my intuition’s voice. It were right and today’s morning the temperature have become normal and we begun our treatment. The main hero is a magic pot we use for steam inhalation with dry herbs.
On the photo above you see the instruction how to use it. These vintage wonderful pots are from France and I have found its in the house we rented. Due to its grand age the pot is decorative element of the bathroom.
I tell you the story why our pot for steam inhalation is magic. Asking a 5 y.o. child to sit calm and breath by steam for even 2 minutes is difficult. Our story is about little Virusishka who lives with his mother Viruska and father Virus on the planet Virusiania. Yesterday Virusishka was playing near the spaceship of his father, to be inside was strictly forbidden. But the little child was naughty and went inside the spaceship. Virusishka have found a lot of colour buttons inside and, playing, push the red button “Start” and the spaceship flied to Cosmos. By a happy circumstances our hero have found Margo, my daughter, and he desperately wants to find a way to his mother and father. So by inhaling steam of eucalyptus with mint herbs we help Virusishka to find a way to home. By breathing a magic sparkling steam we are becoming healthy and Virusishka are free to fly to his planet Virusiania. The happy end.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment. I wish you to stay healthy and have a wonderful weekend.
