+*+*+*+*+*+
Within my inner temple,
Lies a sanctum sanctorum,
Where floral life blooms gloriously,
With heavenly decorum.

Colours unimaginable,
Essences beyond compare,
A myriad of plant life,
Perfumes the purest air.

A bottomless wellspring of water,
Crystal blue, refreshing and still,
I open myself to the Divine within,
Drinking my spirit's fill.

I visit this peaceful garden
Which lies in the mind of me,
Whenever I need the healing,
Of letting go to simply Be.
+*+*+*+*+*+

You would be a wonderful teacher of meditation, dear Linda.
This is a beautiful lesson of sacredness.
And it is going into my library too.
Hugs, Margherita

(smiles) Ever since I moved to Portland, I have found a very special place when my imagination fails me that I can go to find enlightenment, the Japanese Garden. (kiss on cheek) It is sooooooo beautiful and was designed by the architects of Portland's sister city in Japan, it always makes me happy being there, God Bless You, this is sooooo pretty, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah ~

I wish that I could be right there next to you enjoying that Japanese garden. In fact I have been going on about Japanese gardens so much lately that my boyfriend will be taking me to Japan next year. We plan to also head out into the country when the Japanese cherry trees are in full blossom!

Loveya!
