Visions of the Universe

With the sky and the stars and the shooting stars, meteor showers at this time of the year, I feel particularly close to the Universe!
I suggest, then, that, if you can, you go and see this:

Amazing exhibition at the Maritime museum (lower ground)
I am lucky to have the yearly membership, so will return there again!
It took me back to my Astronomy A level and wanting to know everything forgotten again.
A lot gets forgotten, but the strange thing is that I never lost that feeling of wonder and knowing that out there is very near and our connection with the stars and planets and all things in the sky is real and part of our everyday lives. We are influenced, inspired and intrigued by the sky and we explore and soon we will be able to know much more and go beyond...It is scary in an exciting sort of way, to know that my grandchildren will take a trip to space; as easy as taking a plane to NY!

Meteor showers

Apparently meteor showers this year were amazing.
Pity I was in Wales when it happened...and Wales was cloudy and rainy!
but I still relish the images given here

you make me feel like a natural woman

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more

'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive

You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

You make me feel, you make me feel

Ready to receive cosmic healing

Opening up to possibilities
flowing between dimensions
reality and dreaming
opening up
receiving the light
 feeling warm within
and glowing outwards
feeling light
and ready

On feeling lighter

Lately, I have drastically changed my lifestyle; I am not sure how to start explaining, but I am driven by a physical need which takes me to almost a different dimension. I lost the perspective of day to day life, on the basis that my routine has changed, my attitude to routine, perhaps has shifted.

Out of the window goes the i player watching (don't have a TV) with all the regular soaps and dramas and weekly junk; comfort snacking or late meals are gone, and much more...
most of all I started eating fish again, as I was vegetarian before; two reasons blended into one: the amount of physical exercise, and I don't mean just the gym and zumba classes...!
Now, the digestion according to my own metabolism led me to this change. Ditching the carbs, especially and quite strictly in the evenings, and not eating later than 5 pm has a good impact on my energy levels and how my body feels.

If I had a lot of money, I would employ a Japanese/macrobiotic chef to cook for me almost daily; I started craving poached/grilled salmon with ginger, soy and spring onion, natto, seaweed, especially more than before.

I am going to exercise classes and the gym almost daily and started to feel I can lose all this excess weight I have been carrying for the last 12 years!

My priorities have changed, thanks to my lovely husband, now I put myself first; it is ok to be selfish, to look after myself, to feel slightly vain and wanting to look good; it is strangely liberating.
Feeling lighter, a positive shift, the old and the new me, only better...

O

O...
with the moon
watching
a new beginning;
now
more than ever
before
and ever after
whole,
round and full,
like an ...O...
 a full moon rising
in the vast skies;

a new moon
a new start
a waxing gibbous moon
and a spectacle of
noctilucent clouds
shining
glistening
sparkling
and my
tingling
bringing
this new cocktail
of sensations

O...
opening
blossoming
like a lotus flower
in a dripping wet pond
deep blue
deep
deep

It's gonna be a bright sun shiny day

Artist: Johnny Nash Lyrics
Song: I Can See Clearly Now Lyrics
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
