Remember Them and Remember it is up to us.

I was searching for a post to tie in the significance of today to what is happening within our world right now..  So for those new to my blog I am re-posting this post which was written some years ago upon my blog.

 I hope we can Remember that each thought and action creates our future tomorrows..  Let us Begin to build bridges between our differences and find peaceful solutions to working through them. 

Love and Light..

 

Remembrance Day this year commemorates 100 years since the Great War of 1914 as well as WWII in 1945. 

As we lay our poppy wreaths and say our silent prayers as we remember those who fell during these past Battles, Let us also not forget ALL of those who are still falling today..

It seems Mankind does not learn from Past Wars as he rages on forever doing battle. All we  seem to do is create  yet more sophisticated weaponry to maim and kill even more multitudes in our so called progression!.. It seems to me Man has progressed Little. For he still can not live side by side his fellow man in peace. 

While I so wish to promote Peace upon my blog, this is also a Sanctuary to bring awareness to my readers. So let us not forget all of those who are still suffering right now at the hands of War.. And I would ask you to ask yourself WHY? Why is it we still join in battle to kill one another? Why is it we still throughout the many centuries do we embrace War as a solution in over coming differences.. And if our Governments were really embracing Peace.. Then also ask yourself why are they so ready to Go to War?..

I think many of us are aware enough to see beyond that which we are shown!. I am still always aghast at Man’s inhumanity to Man. And how we become blinked and almost anesthetized to daily reports of the horror we commit against each other in the name of religion.  This battle seems to have been waged since time began..  What God promotes War and Suffering? We are the ones doing that.. ‘Sigh’

I wrote the first half of this poem for Remembrance Day in 2010, the second half I wrote today. in 2014  And still we are sat in the same Zone of Remembering..

  Remember too.. That if we want to change the World to become more Peaceful then We are the ones who have to Remember it is up to us to Change it, and Live in Harmony and Peace with our fellow Human Beings..

Remember them of yesterday..

Remember them that fell today,

Remember them in faraway lands

Remember them for they too had plans

Remember Them…

Remember the old soldiers of World war one..

The Great War to end all wars that was won..

Remember too all the battles that still rage

As History turns yet another page..

Remember them..

Remember too all who serve,

With medals adorned and well deserved.

The medics who brave their lives to retrieve

Those brave soldiers who too they grieve

Remember them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember too all the children who die

Let us not forget their silent cries

We can not keep turning our eyes that are blind

Remember People We are One of a Kind

Remember Them…

It matters not what creed that we follow

We need more love in our hearts not one’s that are hollow

As bulletins belch the cruel acts we abhor

Right into our homes as we accept yet more War

Remember too We have a Voice

Remember we are the ones who have a Choice..

Remember..

Look around you the destruction is rife

Even toys and Cartoons create battles and strife

Open your eyes and Open your hearts

And Remember to create Peace

It is Now we must Start!

Remember!.. It is up to US to Alter our Ways

If we are to bring Peace for future Days..

Unite in LOVE

“If we have no peace, it’s because we have forgotten that we belong to each other”

~Mother Teresa Quote~

I have so many thoughts running through my head today as I try to catch up here on WP, and so many interesting posts I have visited today which have inspired and uplifted me as we travel upon our collective journey’s of discovering just who we are.

Some days I am so full of Love for our fellow Human Beings as their stories inspire us to become the BEings we really are and who we we’re meant to be all along.. And at other times I can feel so saddened for a world entrapped within its own greed as we revolve ever deeper into the abyss of destruction. As many blindly believe all they are told instead of resolving to explore outside of their man-made boxes of the illusions we have created…

Over the years this date of 9-11 has become significant to many as a point in History to be marked as a black day… And for many years I have honoured this day as you can read here in its remembrance as I do for November the 11th Remembrance Day Here ..In fact all those who suffer through the cruelties of war should be remembered.

But today I want not to dwell upon what has been, but what CAN Be, for we each can help shape our future if we get the Balance right. We first need to start with ourselves and find within our own peaceful solutions as we do battle within our own trauma’s as we get embroiled with our opinions as we send our via our minds our thoughts into the worlds Vibration.

So.. What do YOU want the world to become in the future?

Ask yourself what sort of a world we want for our Grandchildren to experience and then look to see how we can change within our own box of thought.

For with every thought we are creating our Reality!

Maybe we just don’t do enough Thinking at all as we let others think for us as we follow blindly their lead, like sheep we bleat to the flavour of the month as we don’t want to stand out like the Black Sheep and cause waves!..

What are the mundane thoughts that swirl around your mind like? Are we in judgement? Do we criticize? I know I do.. I catch myself often and then ask myself on what do I base my opinion?

Do I really know the TRUTH,

or do I just think! I know the truth?

And for a long time I thought I did, until I started to Dig deeper and then I was shocked to discover this world was not at all what I had perceived it to be… We all perceive with the knowledge we are given.. and as we grow with awareness that Truth then alters,.. I once wrote a poem entitledDo You See the Truth and another post Unite For Peace in which I added my poems last verse of Unite For Peace is …

…It only needs a spark of faith to kindle and to brighten,

Those embittered souls who deal in death, their reason to enlighten.

Healing Hands of friendship held out for our tomorrow

Show them that the Power of Love can wipe away our sorrow.

So leaders of the World, Lets stop all this oppression

Only Peace and Love will guide us through to Man’s Progression!

~Sue~

 The Above post I created in 2013, I thought I would reshare it today.

Sending all Love and Blessings

Have a Wonderful Week.

Sending Thoughts and Prayers.

How do you view the Future?

This morning I had two little old ladies come knocking on my door.. They cheerfully greeted me, holding out their pamphlet out to me.  We  politely engaged in a religious conversation for 10 minutes. After we exchanged views upon the state of our world and I agreed in the power of prayer..  I took their small pamphlet and they smilingly went to knock upon my neighbours door.

The Pamphlet’s headlines said

“ How do you view the World?”.. Will our World

• Stay the same?
• Get worse?
• Get Better?  

and it’s title fitted into my thoughts perfectly  as I had been wondering how to start a post I had been pondering on during the night. You could say it was ‘Heaven sent’

Because How do we view our world?

What influences our thoughts, into beliefs?

What shapes our ideas of the world more than anything else?

The Media for one, and our upbringing and cultures also influence the way we think..  But our Main stream news, keeps us informed, or so we think!.. It may interest us to learn it can also omit and twist facts that suit.

The theme for this post started for this week when I visited my Friends Blog World Metamorphosis   Vision Keeper, whose post Here made it refreshingly clear how our mainstream news reporters were not always telling it like it is.. I say refreshingly, because at last individuals are waking up and daring to put them selves out there to expose what has been happening via our main stream news.

This was backed up again when Paul over at Learning from Dogs  posted this article entitled Indonesia – another example of kakistocracy? I was pleased Paul provided the explanation of what the word Kakistocracy meant.. Meaning “government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.”

Paul featured an article written by George Monbiot who writes for The Guardian whose article in full can be read HERE  as he slates his own reporting profession saying as I take a quote from Pauls post as he had permission to republish.. 

“By George Monbiot,  article entitled

Indonesia is burning. So why is the world looking away?

published in the Guardian 30th October 2015. where he writes …

I’ve often wondered how the media would respond when eco-apocalypse struck. I pictured the news programmes producing brief, sensational reports, while failing to explain why it was happening or how it might be stopped. Then they would ask their financial correspondents how the disaster affected share prices, before turning to the sport. As you can probably tell, I don’t have an ocean of faith in the industry for which I work.

What I did not expect was that they would ignore it.

A great tract of the Earth is on fire. It looks as you might imagine hell to be. The air has turned ochre: visibility in some cities has been reduced to 30 metres. Children are being prepared for evacuation in warships; already some have choked to death. Species are going up in smoke at an untold rate. It is almost certainly the greatest environmental disaster of the 21st Century – so far.”

While I knew there had been fires in Indonesia, I had not known to the extent those fires raged, or the levels of death and destruction that is literally suffocating whole communities, So please go and read the report and Paul’s post in full.. It is devastating. And while this happens the Media’s headlines are on Football, and the  James Bond Film..

On a Good Note how ever about the environment, I read over on Lois’s blog the Eco Grandma on her Good News Monday Post  that President Obama has rejected the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline,  now that has got to be good news, and isn’t it great when you see synchronicity working yet again I clicked the link to Earth Baby’s Website  and read her article on  Religious Leaders Call for Climate Justice   And to round off this theme nicely, As I opened my emails this morning I was delighted to find another one confirming the Good news from the Keystone XL Tar sands pipeline.. Although I live in the UK.. I am passionate about our environment, and the link that came with that news update shares with us another important date we can all help by adding our voice to this petition when world leaders meet in Paris in December later this year  all it requires is a click..

What amazed me was that while I lay awake last night thinking of Pauls Post.. Just how today all of these links came in and all in one way or another were related..

We are ALL of us responsible for our environment…

We are ONE

So…..

“ How do you view the World?”.. Will our World

• Stay the same?
• Get worse?
• Get Better?

THE WORLD IS IN ALL OF OUR HANDS

Sue

As a footnote.. I just wish to thank all of you for your support and welcome new subscribers to my blog.. While this post is looking at the serious side of our environmental issues, we each can all do our part in helping heal our own piece of it..

 Each of us CAN make a Difference  in looking after Nature and our Environment where we live..  We owe it to our Grandchildren .. It is not someone else’s problem  But Ours.. 

We are ONE 

 

 

 

 

 

Rememberance Day

 

Poppy Remembrance Day

Remember those that fell in battle

Or whose wounds were hard to bare

Remember those that gave their life

So that Freedom we could share.

Remember those in History, their country did they serve

Today our soldiers need us, the support they so deserve

A Poppy wear with pride as you remember those that fell

As memories of their sacrifice, in our hearts our pride does swell.

Remember too the soldiers brave who serve our lands today

Remember those who put their lives at risk every single day

Not only is the Poppy for the fallen of long ago.

It helps maintain support, to keep our wounded soldiers on the go.

Poppy red is for the blood that soaked in fields of corn

The seeds of hope cast on the wind for a new dawn.

 

Wear your Poppy with Pride!

For all men and women who give their lives.

And Let us Pray for PEACE..

All Things Connect!

I have been busy over the last few days…

Misty Morning on the Allotment Plot

And I will show you what I have been up too at a later date.

In the mean time others on the plot have been very busy weaving. 

Woven Web beneath the raspberries

 The  many hundreds of spiders webs stand out on this misty morning.  

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.”

  “Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves”.

“ All Things are Bound Together”

and as Chief Seattle so wisely understood, he knew that what we do to  others will  ultimately affect ourselves.

How beautiful is this giant web strung across the flower bed

 The mist allowed me to see the many hundreds of webs within our plot. What we see and do not see may just be a matter of perspective.

To the Caterpillar who crawls about the cabbage patch all day, his world is a maze of Cabbage leaves, he sees nothing much beyond.. It isn’t until he transforms and becomes the Butterfly that he then sees a whole new world from another perspective. So too as we transform and alter our way of perception we will see many new things and possibilities unfolding before our eyes. As we begin to understand our Reality is not what we perceive it to be.

We need to see the Web of Life we are building, and we need to start to understand that we are each of us connected to one another.

We need to see what we are doing to our World and ourselves.

This one stretched right across the path to our neighbours plot..

All things are bound together..such is the Matrix of life,I am often speaking about Energies, and how we are all of us connected within that Energy Grid.. Just like the Spiders Web, so too is our Earth connected via various Energy Grids, the Megaliths and Pyramids, Energy spots such as the Bermuda Triangle along with various other places are all now known scientifically to be connected via Grid ley lines around our Globe to specific points that are in line..

You have got to love the ingenuity of Spiders, they know flies love fruit what better place to have your home hiding under curled Raspberry leaves

We need to see what we are doing to our World and ourselves.

Each of us is responsible for our thoughts and actions, for each thought along with our actions ripple out and affect the web of all those around us.  We are seeing the ripple effects now as we see the tide of people fleeing their homelands which are torn apart by war.. 

I hope as leaders gather together and unite in their bid to find solutions to the problems which ultimately were created some years ago to the refugee crisis they learn that we are all of us are held together in one web.. That each thread connects to another and that we all of us are part of the whole, as hearts open and affect the Mass Consciousness of the whole 

“Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves”.

“ All Things are Bound Together”

“All things connect”

Blanket Web

We can all of us bury our heads under a blanket hoping that problems will sort themselves out..

Some spiders spin tunnels, and others weave their blanket webs.

But our Earth is a living planet, we have seen how our disrespect and callous behaviours have polluted and caused extinction of species.. In our Animal and Insect Kingdoms and in our own Human species.

All life is sacred. 

No wonder I was bitten the other week by one, I must have destroyed lots of their webs I didn’t see when picking raspberries

I often try to avoid destroying Spiders Webs in the garden.. sometimes its impossible, but I send a thought in their direction as I am mindful of the effort taken to build such an intricate web.

We should be mindful of how Nature evolves, And we too are evolving,  we need to work in harmony with each other.

Each spiders construction a wonderful engineering feat. built to withstand the rain, allowing the wind to blow through it. We too have come along way in technology, but it means nothing without our Earth Mother to sustain us.

Spiders have been popping up both in my home, hanging on threads from my hair as I garden, and even have been appearing within my dreams, over several months now.. And you may be interested in reading  their properties in the Spider Totem meaning..

• “Patience
• Receptivity
• Feminine energy
• Creativity
• Weaver of life’s fate
• Shadow self, dark aspects of life or personality

The spider as a spirit animal offers many interpretations. Its symbolism has both a dark and a light side, reflecting its connection with life’s many facets. More to be found HERE “

Maybe we now need to extent our own feminine energies by showing the world Love and Compassion, We need to show patience and tolerance, as we see played out the Dark and Light aspects of Human Nature throughout the world.

We are the weavers of our own Fate..

This web reached out about a foot. and its extending thread lines ran almost across a half of the plot securing it in position between the fruit shrubs.

Each Web has a strong central point.. We too have within us a strong central point.. Its our Hearts.. When we learn to centre our hearts and join in love along the threads now being shown to us, we too can reach out further than we ever thought possible.. Joining together different creeds, numerous colours, various nationalities..

Our common Thread is LOVE 

May we All learn to Connect once again to our hearts..

And hold Love at our core for All on Mother Earth.

New Earth

 All spiders web photo’s taken on our Allotment plot…

Love and Light

Living Through Extremes

How do we know its time for Change? We are all upon our Path, we are walking it one step at a time. May we all choose the ‘Good Red Road’

“Hear me, four quarters of the world–a relative I am! Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is!

Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand, that I may be like you. With your power only can I face the winds.

Great Spirit, Great Spirit, my Grandfather, all over the earth the faces of living things are all alike. With tenderness have these come up out of the ground.

Look upon these faces of children without number and with children in their arms, that they may face the wind and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
This is my prayer; hear me now!”

– “Black Elk’s Prayer for All Life

We are the race who are living through extremes,

Changes are afoot beyond anything we dreamed.

Adaptation to a ‘New Normal’ we now must choose

We need to re-think our perceptions or else we may lose

~~

Don’t allow Fear to rule your life

Learn to bring compassion, for it will end much strife

Hold silent vigil for Calm and Peace

Know deep in your heart that all war must cease

~~

Be creative and add to the flow

Pick up the pieces, mend hearts and know

That if we fail in this current World Test

We doom not only ourselves, but all the rest

~~

We make our choices, knowing right from wrong

Bring thoughts of dreams of which we all long

Capture the rainbows after stormy rain

Bring back the laughter, Be happy again.

~~

Paths we all follow are our own to choose

Make a wrong turn and we all could lose

Flow with the current, let it take you down stream

Allow yourself Freedom- To let go and Dream

I have recently been re-reading the Book “ The Turning Point” Creating Resilience in a Time of Extremes, By Gregg Braden. .. I was struck by one chapter ‘The Next Level’, in which Gregg comments upon the ‘Glue’ that holds us all together whether that be one person or a whole city.. That the keys to success is for us to share a common Vision and a Common Bond..

We now have come to that point where WE Choose which way we want our World to unfurl.. I know which kind of Glue I want, And I think most of us on this planet share this same vision .. I hope we begin to make the love Glue stick.

In Love and Light

Enjoy your Week

~Sue~

Why Are we so Afraid?

This photo is from  Kindness Blog and if you are not following then I recommend you do .  The Words to this post are~

To those who attack ‘migrants’ online. Please take a few moments out of your day to really look at this photograph. And rethink.

Here is a father fleeing the war in Syria, crying whilst cradling his children.

Should he stop searching for a place of safety for his young family and take the children back into the war-zone?

What do you think he should do? What would you do in his situation?

Rethink!

I did.. And I wrote a Poem today as what I saw in the links below breaks my heart. 

Why are we afraid to share?

How is it we humans forgot to to Care

What would you do to protect your own

Wouldn’t you want to Flee a War zone.

~~

They gave up everything to seek a safe place

What is happening to the Human Race?

That we fear so much to give them a home

Didn’t our Nations escalate their War zone 

~~

What will it take to open our hearts

Imagine your Family ripped apart

These people have risked all in life and limb

Yet still we are afraid to let them in. 

~~

Why are we afraid to share?

We have to Change and Begin to CARE!
