Blessing Prayer

Published May 23, 2020 by tindertender

Let there be wisdom,

Let there be Light.

Let me be challenged

To open my Sight.

Let no harm ever be done,

And remember that all life is One.

With truth and with heart, may the highest be done,

That all of the realms may heal in the sun.

Show me only my highest good, and for the highest good be done.

Blessed be. Amen.

Female Vikings

Published May 22, 2020 by tindertender

Women in Viking society had more power than most other European women of the time. They could get a divorce, own property and sell their own handicrafts.

Some women became successful and wealthy landowners. Others participated in trade. Scales used for weighing silver used in trade have been found in women’s graves. Even a few weapons were found in female graves, giving the notion that some women were fighters along side of their men.

Most women in Viking society, however, lived and worked in the domestic realm of the household. Vikings believed in making money. What they had talent for decided what that would be. If a woman showed talent in an area, nobody would stop her.

For you to write your future.

What It’s Like to Believe Everything the Media Tells You

Poem from 1869 during Spanish Flu Pandemic

Photo taken during Spanish Flu — at Knightsbridge.

Written by Kathleen O’Mara

And people stayed at home
And read books
And listened
And they rested
And did exercises
And made art and played
And learned new ways of being
And stopped and listened
More deeply
Someone meditated, someone prayed
Someone met their shadow
And people began to think differently
And people healed.
And in the absence of people who
Lived in ignorant ways
Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,
The earth also began to heal
And when the danger ended and
People found themselves
They grieved for the dead
And made new choices
And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living
And completely healed the earth
Just as they were healed.

Reprinted during Spanish flu
Pandemic, 1919

Negative Talk

Published May 22, 2020 by tindertender

If someone says to you, “I’ve got bad news for you” trying to dampen your vibe, bring you down, lowering your power source, DO NOT give away your power to these ones. Their bad news is meant to do just that. Bring you down.

If someone tells you you are disgusting, or ugly, or undesirable, know that this ugliness is dwelling within them, and they simply cannot see your light. They see themselves in everything and everyone, they will point it out saying it is yours, and say you must fix it … but only the mirror can fix itself, the reflection cannot change it.

Some people rest within the safety of a conceived sense of ‘self-righteousness’. They believe themselves to be better than others, they cannot see themselves yet, so they cannot see others yet. The high horse is an easy ride. Wait, they will be bucked off eventually.

The self-righteous have no authority or power to judge you, unless you give that power to them. It is YOUR power they want to use to abuse you with.

Take what is said as a grain of salt, small, and once wet, dissolves.

Do NOT give others permission to write, or rewrite your story. Only you have the insight to reveal and know what resonates with your Soul, with your Heart.

Shine your light so brightly that those who wish to dim it fail, resoundingly.
