(The ladies – Altar Arrangement/Photography by Toni Roberts)
You are but a seed…
How could you possibly know the flower into which you shall blossom…?
The Heart…however knows…
Let the Heart lead the Way…
For It alone knows your Essence…
Your Purpose…
The Why of your Being…in this…particular HereNow…
Trust the Heart to lead you out of Chaos…
Into the Truth of your Being…
It is Time to Trust…
To Let Go…
To Breathe…
To simply…
Be….

Gaia is now cleaning House…
The Planet is re–Ordering ItSelf…
And NO…It does not need your help right now…
So take this Time to get yourSelf in Order…
Be still…
Take deep breaths…
Learn to be at peace…
Remember…just like the river…you can’t push Life…So let It flow...It knows what It is doing…and where It is going…
Your job…is to breathe…
Be at peace...
Let go…
For the only thing you CAN control is…
YourSelf...

this little beauty of beauties
is the best little garden in my neighborhood…
would that my camera could catch
all of the beauty my eyes behold
amidst the bricks and concrete of my life…

Against All Odds…
and I am all hemmed in and don’t know what to do…
where to go…
which way to turn…
who to listen to…
what to choose…
I
then
follow
my
heart…
my
joy…
and
I
am
never
disappointed…

I decide to search for beauty around me instead of bitching and moaning about the terrible MTA service in the Boogie-Down Bronx; and lo and behold I end up capturing unexpected beauty existing in the midst of the chaos, confusion and heaviness of my surroundings.

Who would believe that one could find such perfection at the corner of Waters Place and Eastchester Road!? This perfectly manicured lawn totally diverts my attention from the insufferable heat and humidity. Perfect beauty.
Looking Up Through the Trees – Photo by Toni Roberts
There is no shade at the next bus stop so I venture into the tiny wooded area behind it and look up at the pattern of trees against sky…so intricately woven by the Hands of Mother Nature.
Looking Through The Interwoven Branches Of Sister Trees – Photo by Toni Roberts
Fascinating how the branches of these two trees reach out to intertwine with one another: Sisters bound in love.
Light Descending – Photo by Toni Roberts
Much later on; weary, hungry and very much out-of-sorts, I find myself at yet another bus stop with an unbelieveable forty minute wait for that final bus home. The magnificence of the sunset, however, soothes my jangled nerves and eases my body’s aches and pains.
Fire In The Sky – Photo by Toni Roberts
Is there anything more spectacular than the show Mother Nature puts on each evening?
Going Out In Blazing Glory – Photo by Toni Roberts
All I could say to this was WOW! What a show! Keeping me awed, entertained and not homicidal…
The Awakening – Photo by Toni Roberts
Who could experience anything other than peace upon beholding this sky?
The splendor of Nature washes away all impatience and bad temper…
May Peace Be Unto Us – Photo by Toni Roberts
And I rode home in peace.
