I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o`er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

by William Wordsworth

HOW ARE YOU SHARING LOVE TODAY?

Whether you are sharing your love with your beloved partner, your grandchildren, your friends or your pet, opening to expressing love and receiving love is the where the juice is in life. Right now I`m loving the first daffodils blooming in my garden. They lift my spirits and make me happy and I love photographing them and sharing the images.

Bringing More Love Into Your Life - Try this Buddhist meditation practiced called Metta or Lovingkindness meditation and remember to open to self-love as well as loving others. The traditional practice uses a series of phrases directed to yourself, someone you find inspiring, or to whom you feel grateful. Next, move on to a beloved friend, then to someone you may have difficulty with. Finally, we move on to offer metta to all beings everywhere. This is a powerful practice of forgiveness and letting go. My favorite way to practice is with the following phrases repeated silently or sung as a chant:

May I be filled with loving kindness, may I be well. May I be peaceful and at ease and may I be happy. May you be filled with loving kindness, may you be well. May you be peaceful and at ease and may you be happy. May we be filled with loving kindness, may we be well. May we be peaceful and at ease and may we be happy.

The benefits of loving kindness are that you sleep well while enjoying pleasant dreams and awaken easily. Please love you and celestial beings love and protect you. You are safe from external dangers. Your face is radiant and your mind serene. You will be unconfused at the moment of death and take rebirth in the higher, happier realms. All that, and I venture to point out that you may also feel more loving to yourself and others, always a lovely experience.

May you open to a greater experience of love today and always.

With love & blessings, Becca
