Happy Summer Solstice! “Great God, Father of the Earth, Shine down on this, your strongest day. Blessed Goddess who gave us Birth, Bless us who honor your ancient way. As Summer’s light falls to the ground, lending crops and trees it’s power, the Summer winds blow warm and round, touching the corn silk and the flowers. We give you thanks, our Mother Earth, We praise you, fire of the Sun. We dance this Solstice day with Mirth, from dawns’ first light ’till the day is done.” ~author unknown Posted on June 21, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art~ “Moon Dance – A Midsummer Celebration” by Holly Sierra Source: Shamantube
“Love is the real power. It’s the energy that cherishes. The more you work with that energy, the more you will see how people respond naturally to it, and the more you will want to use it. It brings out your creativity, and helps everyone around you flower. Your children, the people you work with – everyone blooms.” ~Marion Woodman Posted on June 19, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Andrea Benson

“I began to understand that suffering and disappointments and melancholy are there not to vex us or cheapen us or deprive us of our dignity but to mature and transfigure us.” ~Hermann Hesse Posted on June 3, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Nelly Tsenova
“Children coming forth today have a greater capacity to deal with the greater variety of information that is coming forward than you did. They deliberately are coming forth into this environment where there is more to contemplate. This generation gap that you are talking about, it has ever been thus. Each new generation, every new individual, that comes forth, is coming with you having prepared a different platform for them to proceed from. There is this thing that gets in the way of that that says, “I’m the parent. I got here first. I know more than you do.” From the children’s perspective, and from the purity of their Nonphysical Perspective, what they are saying is, “You’re the parent. You got here first. You prepared a platform that I am leaping off from — and my leap will be beyond anything that you have ever known.” ~Abraham Posted on May 27, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment
“What if the fortress walls tumbled down? yes, the real ones and the ones imagined, and what if — instead — they formed foot-paths through the truth of our own, inner primeval forest with barred owl calls calling to us as we place one foot in front of the other taking one step and contemplating the next until we find rhythm with our own breath? the paces that grace us would lead us — just footsteps these well-worn stones — would lead us home. and… what if cathedrals of our hopes and fears built up and fortified over hundreds of years — these too would come down and make pavers instead of saviors to mark the way through our own forest — one day?” ~Unknown Posted on May 26, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Dan May
“Flowers are love embodied. Look deeply at the color. Feel the vibrancy. Put your nose a little closer. Look deeply. Fall inside. Start your life over right here, right now, inside a flower. Make a new decision. Then feel again. Decide you are okay right here now.” ~LAO TZU Posted on May 24, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes 2 Comments Art by Hasebe Yutaka
“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride…and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well…maybe chalk it off to forced conscious expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.” ~Hunter S.
