<div id="attachment_1951" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 239px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1951" title="1FireDancingUnity.640" src="http://creativesoulprints.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1FireDancingUnity.640-229x300.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fire Dancing Unity</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In the midst of our world&#8217;s massive shifting and upheaval, were I to lie on the breast of the new crescent moon, gazing down upon our blue planet earth, what do I know to be essential truth.</p>
<h4 class="linda1" style="text-align: center;">ONENESS ~ SAMENESS ~ LOVE</h4>
<p>come to the clearing<br />
come to our center<br />
come to our truth dance<br />

highest good for all</p>
<p>I was born never noticing the colour of skin, only sensing the heart beat within. Friends, friends all over the world, have I, never seeing them segmented, categorized, placed into levels of cultural, physical, religious worthiness. On quick count, I’ve friends from over 30 different countries, cultures, including the Middle East and Asia, Africa, Europe~ on all continents actually: so dear to my heart and ever enriching my life with their gifts.</p>
<p>It is my truth that we have all chosen to be here, to learn about love, through our humanness. Never once did I evaluate the radiant light of god shining through Sam&#8217;s &#8216;African skin&#8217; as he smiled face to face with my tiny blonde haired daughter. Only ever have I felt our deep sameness, soul to soul kinship.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">May peace light and love guide our hearts, one interconnected sentient family on earth, as together we  SoulPrint our new world creation with inclusion, respect and opportunity for all.</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Peace  love and blessings, Linda</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">The First Step Is The Most Challenging~</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">And The One That Brings New Life~</h2>
<p>To Risk~</p>
<p>To laugh is to risk appearing the fool<br />
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental<br />
To reach for another is to risk involvement<br />
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self</p>
<p>To place our ideas our dreams before the crowd<br />
Is to risk their loss<br />
To love is to risk not being loved in return<br />
To live is to risk dying<br />
To try is to risk failure</p>
<p>But risk must be taken<br />
Because the greatest hazard in life<br />
Is to risk nothing, do nothing, and be nothing</p>
<p>One may avoid suffering and sorrow<br />
But one simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or live<br />
Chained by certitude, one is a slave<br />
Has forfeited freedom</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Only a person who risks is free</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Anonymous</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"> Are We The Web or The Weaver</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-918" title="SPIDERWEB.GLASS..2009 148-640" src="http://creativesoulprints.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/SPIDERWEB.GLASS..2009-148-640-300x225.jpg" alt="SPIDERWEB.GLASS..2009 148-640" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Since the beginning of recordable history, whether in written, artistic or story telling form, there have been numerous references made to the ending of the world: the much prophesied date of 2012.  Many accounts are shrouded in doom and disaster indicating the possible ending of us as a species and or, of the earth itself.</p>
<blockquote><p>I personally believe as quantum physics tells us, that through our more conscious and loving choices we are collectively shaping the outcome of our future in positive ways.</p></blockquote>
<p>Whether one chooses to name this shifting of consciousness as Ascension, Evolution, Soul Growth, or Doom and Destruction, it all rings with a similar energy. Like it or not, wherever we look, we see evidence today of disillusion of the old and slowly the emergence of the new connecting us in very creative ways to each other, our environment and to our universe.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Gift of a Micro Level Miracle for Us All</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>Last summer, I entered the portal of another’s sacred world; the witnessing became indelibley etched in my awareness.  Later the raw prose flowed onto my page……<strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Late at night, sheltered upon my porch amidst a tumultuous storm, I noticed a black speck suspended in mid air between two frail cedar branches.  In spite of the drenching rain, the black dot had huddled into an elliptical orb, swaying upon her web at the whim of the torrential winds: minutiae in the midst of maelstrom. </p>
<p>I watched in awe, believing the outcome would culminate in the destruction of her fragile, magical home.  Arising early the next morning, I incredulously spied Miss Sophia Spider, now so named for the Divine Goddess she was, busily recreating her tattered habitat strand by strand, unaware of the larger reality surrounding her, from which I watched in reverent awe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">    <img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-919" title="MISS SOPHIA..2009 134-350" src="http://creativesoulprints.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/MISS-SOPHIA..2009-134-350-271x300.jpg" alt="MISS SOPHIA..2009 134-350" width="271" height="300" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Miss Sophia Spider~</h2>
<p align="center">most glorious one ~</p>
<p align="center">teach me to rebuild ~</p>
<p align="center">to sense the strengthened tendrils,</p>
<p align="center">amidst tattered remnants, waving in the wind.  </p>
<p align="center">Share your vision knowing,</p>
<p align="center">melding that which together belongs ~</p>
<p align="center"> letting go of all that no longer matters or even fits. </p>
<p align="center">Guide me to trust the ebb and flow </p>
<p align="center">instinctively encrypted within your soul ~</p>
<p align="center">sustaining first oneself and then for the greater good of all.</p>
<p align="center"> Attune me to simply living, living simply~</p>
<p align="center">divining the essential gem,</p>
<p align="center">that I too may focus ~ create and recreate my world. </p>
<p align="center">Brush upon my heart,</p>
<p align="center"> the canvas of my life</p>
<p align="center">your wisdom, colour, music to guide me in life’s dance.</p>
<p align="center">In harmony with the universe ~ art of weaving that creates ~</p>
<p align="center">Breathe with me your magic</p>
<p align="center">leaving space ~ trusting new will take its place.</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What I most treasure from Miss Sophia&#8217;s teachings is the fact that she accessed all her own answers; her resourcefulness, courage and know how were  instinctively there for her.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">Everything she required, including the very material with which she recreated her world, was already within her own being.~! </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">PROFOUND BEYOND WORDS</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What today&#8217;s metaphysicians are telling us, often reads something like this:</p>
<p>JONATHAN CAINER ASTROLOGER ~ Sept. 14, 15th, 2009~</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Jonathan,<br />
When political parties have opposing views, one may support a new idea while another rejects it. But sometimes, a way can be found for both parties to support it, albeit for different reasons. Do astrological oppositions work like that? Is there anything that Saturn and Uranus can now agree on? Erik</p></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dear Erik,<br />
Saturn stands for all that&#8217;s structured, established, traditional and restricted. Uranus governs spontaneity, innovation, invention and liberty. If there&#8217;s one cause they have in common, it&#8217;s the need for people, all over the world, to consider what kind of future they want to create.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">A very good question; one we can all ask ourselves.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">WHAT KIND OF FUTURE DO I WANT TO CREATE ?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">WHEN DO I CHOOSE TO BEGIN ?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Miss Sophia knew all her answers.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">May we be as wise: after all, Miss Sophia is the Goddess of Wisdom in us all<strong>.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Blessings &#8230;.as we move into the new together</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Linda</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Teacher </h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://creativesoulprints.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ROCK-OF-AGES.2009-097.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-944" title="ROCK OF AGES.Good" src="http://creativesoulprints.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ROCK-OF-AGES.2009-097-300x225.jpg" alt="ROCK OF AGES.Good" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He never taught a lesson in a classroom…<br />
He had no tools to work with,<br />
 such as blackboards, maps or charts…<br />
He used no subject outlines, kept no records,<br />
gave no grades, and His only text was<br />
ancient and well-worn…<br />
His students were<br />
the poor, the lame, the deaf,<br />
the blind, the outcast—<br />
His method was the same<br />
with all who came to hear and learn…<br />
He opened eyes with faith…<br />
He opened ears with simple truth…<br />
opened hearts with love,<br />
a love born of forgiveness…<br />
A gentle man, a humble man,<br />
He asked and won no honours,<br />
no gold awards of tribute to His expertise or wisdom…<br />
in yet  this quiet teacher from the hills of Galilee<br />
has fed the needs, fulfilled the hopes,<br />
and changed the lives of many millions…<br />
For what He taught<br />
Brought Heaven to earth<br />
and revealed God’s heart to mankind.
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Verse  found years ago on a plaque&#8230;.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">I have long held the essence of this wisdom close to my heart. The simple beauty of a life, this way lived, would be of ineffable worth in our world today.</p>
