Pink Elephant... really???

'Rare Pink Elephant Baby' photograph by Mike Holding

Everywhere... all around... more and more gifts from Creator. Signs we move... we progress. Heart shaped galaxies, pink dolphins, sun halos, comets... more. Now this very rare, sweet, beautiful, albino, pink, baby African elephant. Amazing!

Elephant represents - compassion, loyalty, strength, intelligence, discernment,  commitment, astuteness, memory, longevity, power and peace. Pink is the color of Universal Love, love of self and others, harmony and inner peace; and a developed heart chakra (Anahata). Elephant in Buddhism represents mental strength; the white elephant is a powerful controlled mind that eliminates all obstacles on the path. It is said that Buddha was born as a white elephant in a previous incarnation. Ganesh, the white elephant Hindu god removes obstacles and brings peace and inner knowing. A pink elephant shows us how... eliminate obstacles through love.

A pink elephant is great gift indeed... it shows Creators Love for us and blesses our unfolding. Indicators: keep faith, remember love of self and others, bring peace to all, discern what brings harmony, be strong and clear of mind, develop heart and inner knowing. 

 

March 20, 2009 - A pink elephant caught on camera.  A wildlife cameraman took pictures of the calf when he spotted it among a herd of about 80 elephants in the Okavango Delta (Botswana). Experts believe it is probably an albino, which is an extremely rare phenomenon in African elephants. Read more at BBC.

Furniture - Amy Studt

'Furniture' sung by Amy Studt, music video

Haunting, fragile and intense... touches me to the bone! Makes me wonder... why we cause harm to each other, the earth and all life? Why don't we love each other or ourselves? Will we be able to collectively move beyond these destructive patterns? I know we can! I really like the lines, 'behind the skin, my divinity, behind the skin, my only sanctuary.' The skin, the bone... a vehicle... a temple. Behind the skin... Soul... our Divinity, our sanctuary... who 'we truly are'. We move toward the ultimate... conscious merging of skin and Soul... self actualization... enlightenment or Divine Union. Works like this song help us see, understand, know... remember right action... awake our compassionate nature.  Thanks Amy for creating a wonderful song and for the reminder.

'Furniture' lyrics:

I am only flesh and bones, Splintered glass and tattered clothes,
behind the skin, my fragility, behind the skin, a skeletal impracticality,
I am only pieces of you, held together with paper glue,
behind the skin, my divinity, behind the skin, my only sanctuary.
You can lean on me, have a drink on me, leave your mark all over me, paint the outside 'till it smiles, you can eat off me, rest your head on me, press yourself on top of me, kick the back until its quiet.
All in all I'm just furniture, Just another piece taking you one step further from the perfect living room set,
All in all I'm just furniture, In these 4 walls that hold me, keep me safe under sound and bare within its grip.
My wooden heart it sings no more, This dress I wear becomes the floor, behind the skin, a living, breathing thing, behind the skin, a place you've never been.
You can lean on me, have a drink on me, leave your mark all over me, paint the outside 'till it smiles, you can eat off me, rest your head on me, press yourself on top of me, kick the back until its quiet.
All in all I'm just furniture, Just another piece taking you one step further from the perfect living room set,
All in all I'm just furniture, In these 4 walls that hold me, keep me safe under sound and bare within its grip.
I am only flesh and bones, Splintered glass and tattered clothes

12/25 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' sung by Libera

Wonderful, sweet and full of light. Loved hearing these singing angels. Beautiful!

Libera, song: 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen', album: Angel Voices 3 (1997), label: Music Club, distributor: Sony, video: TV morning show (I could find nothing else about the source of the video). Words and music: Traditional English, 18^th Century carol. More about the carol at Hymns and Carols of Christmas.

Christmas day is a great day to feature this spectacular painting of Jesus Christ called 'El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús' by Salvador Dalí (1962), Oil on canvas 86.5 x 61 cm, Private collection. El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús  means The Sacred Heart of Jesus. I feel power and passion emanating from this exquisite painting. It communicates ethereal yet tangible, ascending and transcending, compassion and light. Dali has always been one of my favorite painters. But I wasn't aware of this beautiful work. Wow!

Merry Christmas! May this Holy day bless you with abundant Hope, Joy and Faith. All is well,  God's Divine Plan unfolds with perfection.

 

Libera is a group of boys directed by Robert Prizeman who sing like angels and often appear in white robes. They have been on TV, radio and in films. There are about 30 boys from South London, England aged seven to sixteen who make up the group. They think of themselves as an alternative boy band rather then a boy's choir. You can read more about them see photos and video at their official website libera.org.uk  or visit this site with everything Libera boysoloist.com.
