Buried Treasure

I am participating in Seth Apter's BURIED TREASURE Online Collaboration. He has asked us to post one of our favorite blog posts from the past and he will post the links on his blog on Wednesday, June 12. Once you go to Seth's Blog, The Altered Page, you can click on any of the links and do some blog hopping. There should be some very interesting "buried treasure". The post I chose is definitely one of my favorites ~ Kisses for Grammy. It is not an old one ~ it is from March 26 of this year. My dear Mom had a stroke in April and is in a nursing home right now. I miss her being home SO much and she misses her daily time with Jake. I think this post is fitting for my BURIED TREASURE post.

Kisses for Grammy March 26, 2013

These photos were taken yesterday afternoon, but they are typical of what happens just about every day. Mom and Jake have a special bond of love.

Oh! What does Grammy have on that plate up there?

I think I'll jump up there and join her ~ get a closer look.

Ooooh, Grammy, that cake looks really really good. Are you going to share?

You will. I know you will. I can wait.

Here it comes. She's going to give me a bite. She always does.

That was SO good. Thank you Grammy. I love you.

I should give you kisses. I like to give you kisses.

Ready?

Kisses for you, Grammy. Lots and lots of kisses!!

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

~ James Kavanaugh

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
