#FridayFantasy . . . Turquoise, the magical birthstone of December

If cold December gave you birth—
The month of snow, and ice, and mirth—
Place on your hand a turquoise blue,
Success will bless whate’er you do.

~Author unknown, “A Gem for Every Month,” c.1883

#PoeticThursday . . . . A Little Wren in Winter

A Little Wren in Winter

She flits among the holly leaves,
a tiny dappled short-winged wren;
she sings with joy above the eaves,
announcing hope throughout the glen.

Her songs now tell of longer days,
of glistening snow and evenings,
replete with vibrant trills that raise
a zest for feasts and frolickings.

While winter’s razor teeth can bite
frail birds aloft in freezing zones,
bel canto saves the wren tonight;
her chest beats warm as she intones…

refrains that ring of golden skies,
of warmth that balmy springtime brings.
A little wren in winter flies
among the holly leaves and sings.

#TenderTuesday . . . . transition

“Finding the crack that separated the Underworld from the Earth,
Persephone climbed through
and rushed into the arms of her mother waiting on the other side.
And it was Spring again.”

From “The Pomegranate Seeds,”

High recognitions . . . For you, though, the Light will shine even in the darkest moments!

“From time to time we human beings are put to test. These are moments when
the weaknesses and strengths of our spirits are clearly perceived. Now, once again,
such a moment has come… Some of us passed the test, and thus have taken a step forward.
Those who failed have turned away from the right path that leads to the source of Light.
And this is always dangerous, since most of these people never find their way back.
For you, though, the Light will shine even in the darkest moments!”

– Roselis von Sass (Atlantis, The End of a Continent)

(In The Light of Truth) by Abd-ru-shin

High recognitions . . . We all have a garden in the land of the spirits

“We all have a garden in the land of the spirits, where fruit grows and flowers blossom.
However, the best-tasting fruit grows on the tree that blossoms out of human faithfulness!
All we feel, and all we do, takes shape in the gardens of the spirits!”

– Roselis von Sass (Atlantis, The End of a Continent)

Sunday reflection . . . . The forces of Love

The forces of love are more powerful than the forces of
fear. Whether love or fear prevails on earth is not
determined by which is more powerful, but by which we
allow to flow through us and thus out into the world.
