Chocolate Symphony

Published on by Glorialana10 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for my sophisticated tongue which is able to feel chocolate symphony by my whole existence. When I think about chocolate I can create a joyful poem devoted to your smile.

Pleasure lives

Where Sugar is loved.

Chocolate orchestra plays

When soul is full…

I am a conductor of

This Symphony.

It seems we are going to spend our weekend in the legendary city of pleasure. Vienna as unthinkable without music as unimaginable without its famous desserts.

SweetTorten

Franz Landtmann opened Vienna’s most elegant Café in 1873.

Tortenshop

Landtmann Cafe is known for many meetings of leading industrialists and politicians in Austria, and the preferred coffee house of, such as Sigmund Freud, Gustav Mahler, Peter Altenberg, Felix Salten, Emmerich Kálmán.

Torten

It is wonderful experience to listen and try conducting the symphony of desserts in Landtmann Cafe. I recommend.

And now, Ta Dam! Ta Dam! we are close to the culmination of Chocolate symphony: Zaher cake!

Sacher

Sachertorte or Zaher (photo) cake is a specific type of chocolate cake, or torte, invented by Austrian Franz Sacher in 1832 for Prince Wenzel von Metternich in Vienna. The Prince have declared, “Let there be no shame on me tonight!” The torte created by Sacher have delighted Metternich’s guests, and the dessert received further attention.

I am reading the recipe as music scores for orchestra. Oh, I see the theme: chocolate, than crescendo Chocolate, than fortissimo CHOCOlate! I love that: “a layered chocolate cake filled with apricot jam is coated in Chocolate ganache and finished with a CHOCOlate glaze.”

Applauses and ovations to the orchestra and conductor are from grateful audience. Thank You for coming in my concert hall. I am grateful and happy to see you.

Hello God!

Thank You for creating this possibility to breath. I am breathing in and feeling magic scents of summer. Scent of jasmine flowers is the symphony of perfection! Under white bush of jasmine I close my eyes and I am breathing in its air by my whole lungs. I am dancing a beautiful waltz by this perfect rhythms of the universe. Happiness is full accepting by our every cells the Beauty of now.

My heart is singing to you poem Jasmin Flower by Alan Michael DeCara now.

A flower so appealing to the
senses and eyes.
Fragrance so sweet, beautiful,
upon the air it lies.
This Jasmine flower in
the palm of my hand
Brings me such joy that I cannot, in truth, understand.

I am reading Sonja Lyubomirsky’s book The How of Happiness. Sonja believes that our individual level of happiness springs from three primary sources: 1) A natural “Set Point” that you are born with (50%), 2) Life Circumstances (10%), and 3) Intentional Activity (40%).

LyubomirskyHappiness

Of these three, the one area that we have the most power to change is the last one: our behavior.

Happiness activities described as “evidence-based happiness-increasing strategies whose practice is supported by scientific research”:

1. Expressing Gratitude

2. Cultivating Optimism

3. Avoiding Overthinking and Social Comparison

4. Practicing Acts of Kindness

5. Nurturing Social Relationships

6. Developing Strategies for Coping

7. Learning to Forgive

8. Increasing Flow Experiences

9. Savoring Life’s Joys

10. Committing to Your Goals

11. Practicing Religion and Spirituality

12. Taking Care of Your Body: Meditation + Physical Activity + Acting Like a Happy Person

I am happy to share with you my today’s happiness activity and this moment when we are breathing in Air together and whirling in the dance of the Universe. Let’s remember the moment! Thank you for making my today.

Our Spaceship

Published on by GlorialanaLeave a comment

Hello God!

I am happy to write to You “Thank You”. We are living because of You. We are living happily because of Your Inspiration. Your Inspiration is our dreams and imagination. So we are floating in our spaceship in the Universe between stars and comets. Our navigation is perfect. The next station we are going to jump in is “Summer”. Summer station is wonderful. We are leaving Spring station with our hearts full of gratitude and joy. Thank You for our spaceship named “Our Happy Life”.

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death,” said Robert Fulghum.

I would like to share the poem which touches my soul. The poem  was written 200 years before my birth and poet’s vibrations lift up my spirit and inspire my mind now!

“On imagination” (1773)

Imagination! who can sing thy force?
Or who describe the swiftness of thy course?
Soaring through air to find the bright abode,
Th’empyreal palace of the thund’ring God,
We on thy pinions can surpass the wind,
And leave the rolling universe behind,
From star to star the mental optics rove,
Measure the skies, and range the realms above,
There in one view we grasp the mighty whole,
Or with new worlds amaze th’unbounded soul.

Phillis Wheatley

We have to keep a clear vision of life due to imagination is developing by its influence. We need always to control brightness and sharpness of our perception. Children know what this process means. Let’s remember how to do it.

“ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:

1. Share everything.
2. Play fair.
3. Don’t hit people.
4. Put things back where you found them.
5. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS.
6. Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
7. Say you’re SORRY when you HURT somebody.
8. Wash your hands before you eat.
9. Flush.
10. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
11. Live a balanced life – learn some and drink some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.
12. Take a nap every afternoon.
13. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
14. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Stryrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
15. Goldfish and hamster and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup – they all die. So do we.
16. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first workd you learned – the biggest word of all – LOOK.”

These wise advices are from the book “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things” by Robert Fulghum.

I am going to follow by Robert’s wisdom to make my vision clear. I invite you in my company and together we will enjoy Summer station very soon. We are going to ground on it.

Welcome to our spaceship (the picture below is from kindergarten)!

Young Wild Rose

Published on by Glorialana2 Comments

Hello God!

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.

Values and Faith

Published on by GlorialanaLeave a comment

Hello God!

Thank You for the rainy today. I am so grateful for every drops of it. I am full of excitement about how we harmonically sounded under the rain. Every living cells sing a hymn to Rain.

My heart is singing simple song. Poem is by Vikram Pratap Singh) and tune is by heart:

Rain, Rain, Rain, come again and again,
In the winter, in the summer and in spring,
Come with joy, fall with happiness and go with sorrow,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.

Rain, Rain, Rain come to relive earth’s pain,
Rain, Rain, Rain come to make nature happy,
Rain, Rain, Rain come to make livings happy,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.

Today’s rain have inspired me to think about values and faith.

I like the definition of values from businessdictionary: Important and lasting beliefs or ideals shared by the members of a culture about what is good or bad and desirable or undesirable. Values have major influence on a person’s behavior and attitude and serve as broad guidelines in all situations. Some common business values are fairness, innovation and community involvement.

“Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work. They (should) determine your priorities, and, deep down, they’re probably the measures you use to tell if your life is turning out the way you want it to.” Mindtool defines and suggests a lot of exercises how to clarify your values and how its can be prioritized and so on. I have found this article interesting.

But my reflections about this complicated thing lead me to the only value I have chosen for myself. Please allow me to voice my though by words from Osho. He said: “A single insight into yourself is more valuable than all your scriptures. A single glimpse of your consciousness and you have entered the real temple”. Consciously living every my “now” is the my only value.

You are my value because you are with me now. Thank you for this possibility to hug you with my whole heart. I feel how I am embracing you and we are listening each other heart’s beating.  What’s the miraculous moment! “Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life… Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it,” wrote Viktor Frankl in “Man’s Search for Meaning”. And the wonder of life is to be connected and ability to share our unique experience. Thank you for being in my life.

Sometimes we have nothing but faith. “Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty,” wrote Brené Brown in “The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are”. Brilliantly said, thank you Brené.

I will return to her books which are worth to read, study and follow by her wise and value thoughts and researches.

Let me share with you today’s happy moment under the rain and for a now I am saying to everyone “Good night and have a wonderful dreams!”

Goddess of Dandelions

Published on by GlorialanaLeave a comment

Hello God!

Thank You for Love to Live we are generously gifted to. As for Love to Live means an awakening attention and open heart to feel and see every moment of life as Miracle and Beauty.

“The mark of a person who is in control of consciousness is the ability to focus attention at will, to be oblivious to distractions, to concentrate as long as it takes to achieve a goal, and not longer. And the person who can do this usually enjoys the normal course of everyday life.” ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi from Flow

“Csikszentmihalyi describes our attention as “psychic energy” and articulates the fact that: a) those of us who can control it tend to enjoy life more; and, b) we have a limited amount of stimuli we can attend to in any given moment/minute/hour/day and, therefore, lifetime.

For those curious souls, over a seventy year lifetime, assuming sixteen hours of waking time per day, this amounts to 185 billion bits of information over the course of our lives. That may sound like a lot, but it goes quickly, and the quality of your attention and where you choose to put it essentially dictates the quality of your life,” Brian Johnston said.

So the more you control your consciousness the higher your quality of life. I try to enjoy every moments of my life. May is now and dandelions are blooming. I have found a beautiful poem I am in hurry to share.

Dandelions

Welcome children of the Spring,
In your garbs of green and gold,
Lifting up your sun-crowned heads
On the verdant plain and wold.

As a bright and joyous troop
From the breast of earth ye came
Fair and lovely are your cheeks,
With sun-kisses all aflame.

In the dusty streets and lanes,
Where the lowly children play,
There as gentle friends ye smile,
Making brighter life’s highway

Dewdrops and the morning sun,
Weave your garments fair and bright,
And we welcome you to-day
As the children of the light.

Children of the earth and sun.
We are slow to understand
All the richness of the gifts
Flowing from our Father’s hand.

Were our vision clearer far,
In this sin-dimmed world of ours,
Would we not more thankful be
For the love that sends us flowers?

Welcome, early visitants,
With your sun-crowned golden hair,
With your message to our hearts
Of our Father’s loving care.

Frances E.W. Harper

Thank You for this piece of Inspiration I am happy to touch it. I would like to share a nice picture of myself I named “Goddess of Dandelions”.
