Thank You for today. I have met a miracle today. On my way to swimming pool a young wild rose bush welcomes my eyes. I have accepted its invitation to spend some happy moments with it. It is young and beautiful. It embraces whole Universe and I was the part of It. I was immersed in the pulsating field of energy of the bush and I feel wonderful tune of unison of our vibrations – mine and its.
“Human beings and all living things are a coalescence of energy in a field of energy connected to every other thing in the world. This pulsating energy field is the central engine of our being and our consciousness, the alpha and the omega of our existence,” Lynne McTaggart writes in her book “The Field”.
Our morning’s moment supports this opinion. Lynne has attracted my attention and I will try to share the thoughts from this book with you in the nearest time.
For a now I have found a very beautiful poem, my heart likes it very much. So I do hope your heart will be pleased too.
A Wild Rose
A blushing wild pink rose,
By tangled woods and ways,
A passing sweet that goes
With summer days.
From rosy dawn till night
Wafted from east to west,
Kissed by the morning light
To evening rest.
Thy odors faint outlive
Alike both joy and pain,
Stealing the sweet they give
To yield again.
Leaving a faint perfume
Thy memory to fulfill,
Forgotten in thy bloom,
Remembered still.
And the picture of today is impossible without music. Please enjoy “To a Wild Rose” by Edward MacDowell
I would like to share the photo of today’s hero.

Thank You very much for our nights, after my tender lullaby our sweet daughter falls asleep and I have this wonderful possibility to read, write and share my thoughts with you. Tonight I am reading “The Courage to Create” by Rollo May. The book is brilliant. I have a real pleasure to share with you the thoughts I like from this book.
“This courage will not be the opposite of despair… Hence Kierkegaard and Nietzsche and Camus and Sartre have proclaimed that courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.” I like this definition of courage as the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.
“But if you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not listen to your own being, you will have betrayed yourself. Also you will have betrayed our community in failing to makeyour contribution to the whole.” We all are the Masterpieces created by the Highest Inspiration. We have to have courage to create, we have no other choice to realize ourselves.
“A chief characteristic of this courage is that it requires a centeredness within our own being, without which we would feel ourselves to be a vacuum. The “emptiness” within corresponds to an apathy without; and apathy adds up, in the long run, to cowardice. That is why we must always base our commitment in the center of our own being, or else no commitment will be ultimately authentic,” Rollo May writes about commitment. So again we have to be courageous to manifest our uniqueness by our creative works. Our life by itself is a creative work, we need just to confirm this fact by the commitment to be creative.
“Courage is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love or fidelity. It is the foundation that underlies and gives reality to all other virtues and personal values. Without courage our love pales into mere dependency. Without courage our fidelity becomes conformism.” What’s the wise words!
Courage to be is essential.”The word courage comes from the same stem as the French word coeur, meaning “heart.” Thus just as one’s heart, by pumping blood toone’s arms, legs, and brain enables all the other physical organs to function, so courage makes possible all the psychological virtues.Without courage other valúes wither away into mere facsimiles of virtue,” Rolly May said.
“In human beings courage is necessary to make being and becoming possible. An assertion of the self, a commitment, is essential if the self is to have any reality. This is the distinction between human beings and the rest of nature. The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical increatures like tbem. But a man of women becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them. People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day today. These decisions require courage. This is why Paul Tillich speaks of courage as ontological—it is essential to our being.”
“Intimacy requires courage because risk is inescapable. We can not know at the outset how the relationship will affect us. Like a chemical mixture, if one of us is changed, both of us will be. Will we grow in self-actualization, or will it destroy us? The one thing we can be certain of is that if we let ourselves fully into the relationship for good or evil, we will not come out unaffected.”
“The battle with the gods thus hinges on our own mortality! Creativity is a yearning for immortality. We human beings know that we must die. We have, strangely enough, a word for death. We know thateach of us must develop the courage to confront death. Yet we also must rebel and struggle against it. Creativity comes from this struggle—out of the rebellion the creative act is born. Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one’s death.”
“Whatever sphere we may be in, there is a profound joy in the realization that we are helping to form the structure of the new world. This is creative courage, however minor or fortuitous our creations maybe. We can then say, with Joyce, Welcome, O life! We go for the millionth time to forge in the smithy of our souls the uncreated conscience of the race.”
“Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one’s identity as a being of worth and dignity.”
You know despite mostly of this post is “copy-and-past” I am writing it with Flower Duet from Lakmé by Léo Delibes and this process is making my post is the creative work. I have chosen the quotes sounding in unison with my mind’s vibrations, and by reading its we together have created an unique creative art now for this very second.
As Rollo May writes: “…in our appreciation of the created work — let us say a Mozart quintet — we also are performing a creative art. When we engage a painting, which we have to do especially with modern art if we are authentically to see it, we are experiencing some new moment of sensibility. Some new vision is triggered in us by our contact with the painting; something unique is born in us. This is why appreciation of the music or painting or other works of the creative person is also a creative act on our part.”
I am more than happy now in my hope that you are enjoying Flower Duet with reading my post and something unique is born in both of us.

Thank You for this beautiful world we all live in. Thank You for today. Today is Great Day. Today is the birthday of great and genius composer Richard Wagner. He is 200 y.o.! Happy Birthday dear Richard Wagner!
“I am convinced that there are universal currents of Divine Thought vibrating the ether everywhere and that any who can feel these vibrations is inspired.” Richard said and this words mirrors his great personality which depth is immaculate and unfathomable.
I am reading in Wikipedia: “Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813 – 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director,polemicist, and conductor who is primarily known for his operas (or, as some of his later works were later known, “music dramas”). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in theromantic vein of Weber and Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk (“total work of art”), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama, and which was announced in a series of essays between 1849 and 1852. Wagner realised these ideas most fully in the first half of the four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).
His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textures, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs—musical phrases associated with individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements. His advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres, greatly influenced the development of classical music. His Tristan und Isolde is sometimes described as marking the start of modern music.”
My favorite from Richard Wagner is opera “Tristan and Izolde”.
“Wagner’s composition of Tristan und Isolde was inspired by his affair with Mathilde Wesendonck and the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer. Widely acknowledged as one of the peaks of the operatic repertory, Tristan was notable for Wagner’s advanced use of chromaticism, tonality, orchestral colour and harmonic suspension.
The opera was profoundly influential among Western classical composers and provided inspiration to composers such as Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Karol Szymanowski, Alban Berg and Arnold Schoenberg. Many see Tristan as the beginning of the move away from conventional harmonyand tonality and consider that it lays the groundwork for the direction of classical music in the 20th century,” wikipidia said.
Richard knows that he is a composer of future. Tristan und Isolde was at his time was declared “unproduceable” and many conductors simply were unable to perform it. But Greatness always finds the ways to manifest itself.
“The young, handsome King Ludwig was truly besotted with Wagner’s music and wanted to become his patron. He offered to take all the financial burden away from Wagner leaving him free to create his art in an ideal atmosphere. To this end, King Ludwig installed Wagner in a beautiful villa close to the royal castle of Hohenschwangau.
On May 5 1864 the monarch and the composer meet for the first time.
After their first meeting in May 1864, King Ludwig writes to Richard Wagner:
“Be assured that I will do everything in my power to make up for your suffering of the past.”
At the time Richard Wagner is in deep financial troubles, he is sickly and homeless. The king is his salvation. After his audience with King Ludwig II. he writes:
“…he loves me with the sincerity and glow of a first love… I am to complete the Nibelungen….he will give me everything necessary for me to perform my works. I shall be relieved of all problems. Can that be anything but a dream?”
The composer’s debts are paid, he receives the impressive salary of 4000 guilders and is able to move into a large house in Munich.Preparations begin for the performance of “Tristan und Isolde”.
More than 20 rehearsals place. Stage scenery and costumes swallow up large amounts of money. Following several postponements the day of the premiere the king had waited for so long finally arrives on June 10 1865. The king is received with loud cheers and fanfare in the royal Court Theater. The public breaks out into enormous storms of applause. It is a great triumph for Wager as well as for Ludwig.” from here.
Music is a woman . . . She must be loved by the poet, must surrender herself to him, in order that the new art-work of the future may be born . . . the begetter must be the artist. (Richard Wagner, Opera and Drama, 1851)
Women, indeed, are the music of life; they absorb everything more openly and unconditionally, in order to embellish it by means of their sympathy. (Richard Wagner, letter to Theodor Uhlig, December 27 1849)
And he said: “I write music with an exclamation point!” Woman of Wagner today is Waltraud Meier. You have just hear Her. Words are helpless.
Please enjoy.
Thank You for today. I am inspired and feel universal currents of Divine Thought vibrating. Great day is for great person.
