It Beats For You – My Morning Jacket, live

‘It Beats for You’ – My Morning Jacket, live

Haunting, pretty song… about consciousness, love and belief. I love the line ‘Just Believe and You can Do’… so true. This live performance is different from others the band has done.

My Morning Jacket, Song: It Beats for You, Album: Z (2005), Label: ATO/RCA, Website: My Morning Jacket

It Beats for You lyrics:

Who Could See And Not Believe?

The Heart That Beats The Wavelength.

And Who Could Say But Never Do.

Things They’ve Said To Someone Who

Thru All That’s Been And All Will Be –

So In Line So Thoughtfully(Lessly)

In Tune With You. So In Time For Me.

New Thoughts Arrive.

So In Time For Me.

Who Can Count The Time I’m Beatin… With My Hands?

Who Can Stop The Smoke From Breathin… In My Head?

Words Will Come And Words Will Go.

Make Believe And Overthrow.

Just Believe And You Can Do.

You Know My Heart – It Beats For You.

It Beats4u – So In Time We Beat.

Your Thoughts Align – So In Time With Me.

Opalescent Sky

‘Opalescent Sky’ photo by Harold Leinbach

‘Opalescent Sky’ is my name for this exquisite photograph. Again Creator treats us to beautiful displays reminding us that everything is sacred and that we progress. What colors and patterns! Again we are shown colors that aren’t ‘normally’ seen in a rainbow spectrum… pastels… turquoise, pink, lavender, golden pink. And is that an eight or infinity? Perhaps a message of our infinite nature… everything is possible… endless possibilities. Our visualizations of Divine Nature made manifest. This sky is magnificent! Thank you, thank you for this gift, again… thank you Beloved Creator. You continue to awe and amaze with beauty and majesty.

Photo was taken in Boulder, Colorado January 2, 2009 by Harold Leinbach. He says of the sky,

“The pastel colors were lovely and the billowing cloud shapes were quite fascinating.”

Atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley explains: “For brightly-colored iridescence you need cloud droplets of all the same size. You get that if all the droplets have formed at the same time and experienced the same history. Dynamic conditions inside a lee cloud are just what the doctor ordered. The clouds look stationary but inside there is a ‘factory conveyor’ with uniform droplets formed at one end and evaporated at the other. Voila – iridescence.”

Lee waves may be found downwind of all mountains–not just the Rockies. If you live in the lee, keep an eye out for pastels in the sky.

Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire

$'Night Streaker' photo by Howard Edin September 30, 2008$

‘Night Streaker’ is my name for this beautiful… awe filled sight. A fireball streaks by Orion through the night sky. Glorious displays lighting up the skies all over the world. Thank you Beloved Creator, thank you!

The American Meteor Society says it has had 45 separate fireballs reported to them so far in 2009. There were 40 fireballs reported during the month of January in 2008. In the last 90 days there have been sightings in: California, Sweden, New Zealand, Middle East, Canada, Africa, Argentina, Vancouver B.C., Colorado, West Virginia, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Ireland, Brazil, China… more.

January 19 – Fireball in Southern California
January 19, 2009 5:33pm PST a brilliant fireball was reported by over 24 people from California, Nevada and Arizona. It was reported to be as bright as the full moon magnitude -13.

January 17 – Fireball in Sweden

January 17, 2009 19:09 UT, a beautiful brilliant blue sky was Creator’s gift as a fireball lit the night in Scandinavia. It exploded with a rumbling boom. The photo is from a video. You can see videos, read reports and articles at TV2 ØST or SpaceWeather.com Scandinavian Fireball.

My thoughts…

Are there more fireballs? It seems like there are more sightings… but maybe we are just gazing at the sky more… aware… looking… waiting for something. When we see something we gasp in wonder, point and say, ‘oh ah… amazing, glorious!’ or ‘ah oh… doom and gloom!’ Are these sightings apocalyptic? Are they signs of the end?

I see them a signs… wonderful signs of change. More of Creator’s gifts and blessings. Messages to get our attention… they say, ‘Stop for a moment, watch… pause… breathe… Be’. When we are awe filled, in appreciation and wonder we are One… and in that moment we begin to feel and recognize our Oneness.

All of the glorious blessings Creator showers upon us daily are signs of change. Signs of the ending of old ways which no longer work. Like the snake sloughing off of old skin to be renewed or the phoenix being consumed by fire then reborn from its’ own ash. Not end as in death or cataclysm… but end of a cycle. Now we are reborn into our full glory and majesty… as we were originally intended to be.

Now is the cycle or yuga of Light… 2,000 years of Peace. Christ has come… Buddha is here… it is Us… we are That! The waiting is over… today is 2012… the time we’ve been waiting for is NOW. It is not about a timeline or calendar date… it is about raising and changing consciousness. We have fully embraced ourselves, climbed the mountain and are standing on the peak saying, ‘Who am I? Where am I? What am I?’.

Now we remake ourselves. From this moment… do all with joy. Remake yourself into what you have always dreamed. Create! This is the Grace of NOW!

Be the glorious greatness that you are my friend. Love from the depths of your being … everything… all. Rejoice!

Light Beam in Aspen

‘Light beam’ photo by Thomas O’Brien

‘Light beam’ is my name for these amazing photographs. A second sun floats just above the tree tops beaming Light to earth. It looks like a being of light floating above and behind the trees. An amazing gift and wonderful display. Images taken in Aspen, Colorado January 3, 2009 by Thomas O’Brien.

Thomas says about the images,

‘I had been seeing small sun reflections in the ground all day when riding the lifts last Sunday so i decided to hike around on the backside of the mountain to see if i could find a brighter one. it was incredibly hard to photograph, it was like i was shooting directly into 2 suns at once. getting a shot without lens flare was nearly impossible. I had seen much dimmer ones before but this one was incredible. ‘

Atmospheric Optics expert Les Cowley reports, “It is exactly like shooting into two suns at once because it is a subsun, a direct reflection of the sun by millions of ice crystals acting as mirrors. The crystals are flat plates drifting in the cold air. Subsuns can be blindingly bright, look for them while skiing or when flying.”

Ice Flowers in Arkansas

‘Ice Flowers’ photo by Chyenne Morning Star

On January 16, 2009 Chyenne went outside her home in Edgemont, Arkansas and was greeted by these lovely ribbons of luminous ice. One is a heart. Everywhere… reminders of Creator’s Love. Mother and Father Creators showering blessings upon us. It is glorious. Thanks so much Chyenne for sharing this wonderful photo with us.

Chyenne says of the image,

Every now and then in the midst of Winter when the ground is of one color and the trees are bare, She, Mother Winter will gift us with little luminous beings of ice called Ice Flowers. And particularly when one is shaped as a heart, it is a message. A message from our Mother, the Earth and our Nature sisters and brothers telling us they love us. When I went out to get wood on this January 16, 2009 morning, I noticed these beautiful beings. I have never seen them before – or in our area. They are called Ice Flowers and only form in perfect conditions. It is rare to see them here. They were scattered over the yard. It is one of those gifts in the middle of Winter that really surprises us with another beautiful life form being. These Ice Flowers are sometimes called Rabbit Frost and are formed when the sap freezes and expands in the stem, causing long thin cracks to form along the stem. The water that is drawn through these cracks freezes immediately upon contact with the air. Thin layers of ice are pushed from the stems,causing the formation of ribbons or ‘petals.

The photo was featured on the home page of SpaceWeather.com on January 18. They say of the image:

Scientists have been studying the ice flower phenomenon for almost two hundred years. Botanists, physicists, geologists–all have puzzled over the fragile ribbons of ice that wrap themselves around the stems of some plants during winter. Over time, the following consensus has emerged: Liquid water from deep soil flows up into the stems. Linear cracks in the stems expose the water to freezing air. Water turns to ice, and the ice extrudes from the cracks in thin sheets.

There is also a wonderful video of ice flowers at youtube. So amazing… another wonderful display. Thank you beloved Creator, thank you.
