Hello my dearest and most wonderful friend. Joy is a matter of mind. And where the mind goes, the body is soon to follow. We can choose to have joy or not. It’s interesting how choices work their way into this. Each and every day we have an infinite potential and possibility for our lives. We can accept the appearances outside of ourselves and make choices based upon those appearances or we can look beyond the appearances. After all... what are appearances anyway? Appearances are facts and facts are continuously changing. Why are they changing? They change because of the choices that we make. So today... just for today... let us choose to look beyond appearances. Let us choose to go to the edge of our paradigm and take a chance. Let us choose to dream of our life as we know it can be and let us choose to be the co-creator of that dream. We shall draw to us that which we put out into the universe. We are like a magnet. What we think about is radiated outward and eventually comes back and takes form. Today... just for today... we shall choose joy. We shall create a mental equivalent of our joy and radiate it outward into the universe knowing that it will return to us in a most splendid form. We shall embrace that joy and know its essence... we shall feel it within our being. We shall allow it to move in, around and through us. We shall allow it to perfume our every thought. Then, one day... quietly and gently... it shall return to us more magnificent and more brilliant than we have ever dared to imagine. Today we step outside of the box. Today we shall be joy and give joy. It is all up to us for to give is to receive and to receive is to create the miracle. Our thought for the day is: 'I am because I think. I feel because I think. I love because I feel. I have passion because I am.' Gayle O May you know the joy that you seek and may the joy that you seek know you. But most of all... may you know that you are loved. © Gayle O Created with Apophysis 3D Hack 2.08. Post work was done in PSP7. I have always loved light and energy and colors that move the soul. The light in this piece rolls softly over the forms gently caressing the strands of the forms and then flows effortlessly towards the viewer. This piece captures the essence of that love for light and energy and moves the mind to greater heights. Your visits to my gallery mean so much to me.
