I was fortunate to have grown up on a farm... with the freedom to roam the back fields as much as i wanted. Often i'd fly kites and lay on the ground and just stare at the sky, the clouds, my kite, the eagles and the hawks and just hang out for hours on end... Flying kites gave me a lot of joy... I loved collecting kites and even making my own... Once i had a very small (10x10-inch) square kite that my mom gave me - it was the best kite ever! It was called a 'sky-writer' cuz it had a really long tail... I had a blast writing big huge letters in the sky and making it do lots of tricks... I think i wore that kite out i loved it so much! Sometimes, i'd put up more than one kite at a time - in fact, i loved flying kites sooo much i really wanted to be a professional kite flyer when i grew up. Though, i never knew if there ever was such a thing... I even painted the words, 'professional kite flyer' on the back of one of my jackets... Though, i learned later that kites have a long history in many cultures all over the world - some dating back as far as the 16th century... and, still to this day, there are many amazing kite festivals globally... (see the youtube video below)... The kite i still have is a very special kind of kite called a 'para foil'... It's a 'lift kite' which can actually lift or pull stuff. They are sewn out of ripstop nylon with pockets that fill with air - which helps them lift up into the sky... plus making them a very strong kite. The military use very large para foil kites to lift heavy equipment out of remote areas... And, you often see them at the beach where folk fly with them above or on the water... They're attached to a boat or folk fly them freely on the updrafts - They are sport kites and sometimes they're called a 'flex foil'... They're very cool and the small ones are great as a first kite for kids, because they go up so easily in a light wind and will stay up... Anyway, i found flying kites to be solace for my soul - as they really helped me let go of all the things that i worried about as a kid... i would commune with the sky and the cloud people (as i called them), the sun and sometimes even the moon when her face showed up during the day... We all had a special relationship with each other... they were my good friends... and, they were always there for me - even my kite! They taught me a lot! Have a beautiful day + go fly a kite.... it helps... :o) with brightest blessings... weaver x (((o)))

So, good ol' wonder-full Bobby McFerrin was definitely on to something, way back when he recorded his hit-song called, 'Don't Worry Be Happy'... (see the video below)... Today's holy doodle is kinda like that except with one little added shift... 'Don't Worry Feel Happy'... It's through our vibrational feelings where we resonate and create our life - from the present moment-feeling forward... This quote from the song say's it all... 'In every life we have some trouble... but when you worry you make it double.' I do my best to remember one known universal law that says.... what you focus on, expands' or... 'what you feel expands'... and so, the thing to know is this... We get what we focus on whether it's negative or positive... So, perhaps it may be wise to connect with your heart on what you're thinking or feeling within any given moment... as you're vibrating or holding that whatever resonance - as that your vibration is creating your life... and, don't forget you can choose how you think or feel anytime, anywhere... One of the biggest lessons i ever learned is, that we always have choice within any given moment to choose how we wish to resonate in the world, as we walk this earth path... So, what are you feeling or... creating right now, in this moment - for you? It's your choice and no one else's............. with brightest blessings, weaver x (((o))) Can you see the surprise guest in Bobby's video?... a young Robin Williams A few years ago we were visiting family before we embarked on a road trip to Oregon state. During our time hangin' and having fun with our granddaughters, my partner was having extra special fun showing them how to do jumping jacks...
She's very good at jumping jacks. She showed them so well by jumping about 100 times all at once and it was pretty impressive and truly amazing to watch... I certainly could never do that many jumping jacks in a row... However, as i watched my beloved jump and jump with such vigor and so fast, i couldn't help but wonder if she may hurt herself... i hoped not.... Well... that next morning, my partner could hardly get out of bed she was in such pain. She felt so bad and somewhat embarrassed sharing this with her granddaugter, Willow, who wisely said to her......... "Gramma, don't apologize for your spirit!" In my youth, i drank a heck of a lot of coffee - especially when i lived and worked in the downtown eastside (DTES) of Vancouver... at Carnegie Centre (Main + Hastings) and First Church Mission (Hastings + Gore)... It was the real stuff with high-test caffeine and i drank copieus amounts every day and it didn't even taste very good...
And now, it's obvious i can't tolerate any coffee caffeine at all... cuz i experience caffeine side effects like major jitters and really whacks my stomach out... So i had to stop drinking it and only drink decaf now... sigh...... (I get my caffeine from really great dark chocolate + other good stuff instead) One morning not long ago...i got the major jitters... how the frick could that be?.... as i thought i had drank only decaf that morning... Nope... full-on caffeine rush - i must have accidently drank caffeine coffee.... there is no way i could be experiencing decaf coffee side effects?... could i?... so, here's my decaf holy doodle! Decaf drinkers unite!! brightest... weaver x (((o))) PS... wanna drink healthy coffee? Click here >> or... how about a healthy + natural caffeine energy shot? I love this stuff + no jitters! >> "We all collapse a little; may it be toward each other." - Richard Kenny
Reading this quote really helped me during one of the many times i heard about yet another mass shooting tragedy... Frankly, i don't understand why it seems that folk need to feel like they need a gun to protect themselves... i feel they are choosing fear instead of love... because you can't have both - you either choose fear or you choose love... And, it's during these times of immense loss and fear, when we need each other the most... One of the biggest things life has taught me is that i have choice in any given moment and that empowers me to choose love instead of fear! brightest blessings, weaver x (((o))) This holy doodle is my own personal response to the recent Irish abortion referendum vote that happened in Ireland on May 25, 2018 to repeal the 8th amendment…
There was an overwhelming majority voting "YES!" to repeal this old law... giving all Irish women the right to choose what happens to their own bodies. No one has a right to choose for anyone else… a basic human right is the right to have choice + choose… Congratulations Ireland for helping to pave the way for all women everywhere! Yahooooo!... weaver x (((o))) • More on the voting results here >> Everything is energy... and, if you take a single atom and look at it with a super-powered microscope zooming right down to as small as it can be, what you'll find is simply energy... vibrating, shimmering, resonating energy... We are all vibrational be-ings... In essence, extensions of source energy... thought is vibration and so are our feelings.. and, what i have learned is that we create our life from a resonant present-state of be-ing... Our hearts are vibrational and feel strongly... So, i am always learning to trust my inner be-ing... that 'feeling' place within my heart that informs and guides through my intuition - think of it like a guidance system... My heart knows because i 'feel it'... and, that is what creates my life... In the Hindu Yogic, Shakta and Buddhist Trantric traditions, the heart center is known as the Anahata, the 4th chakra... representing the god of Anahata, the Lord Aadi Shakti... In the ancient language of Sansksrit, 'anahata' means 'unhurt', 'unstruck' and 'unbeaten'... The universal colour for this chakra is a healing green. brightest blessings... weaver x (((o))) I've been creating holy doodles most of my life... i simply doodle when i'm bored, on the phone or wherever... Out of my endless doodling, a little stick figure emerged... and became a part of some fun little drawings i continued to do since childhood. Some of these drawings became larger drawings with many little stick figures... mostly in group-like scenes and such... I never really thought much about them or it....
Tho, it wasn't until i made the connection as to maybe why i continued to draw these little doodles... I'm almost 60 now... (wow)... Just a few years ago i was invited by my friend, Jill to attend her 'inner critic workshop' that she was facilitating... I accepted and off i went... Later that day, during the workshop, out of the blue, one of those 'light-bulb' moments dropped out of nowhere into my awareness... I saw 'clear as day' that perhaps, all this time that i've been doodling + drawing my holy doodle art, could it be... that i was doodling a lost part of my inner self... that vibrational self of me that is truly 'holy'... sacred... pure and whole... a light-be-ing... an extension of source energy... all that is... sweet spirit... It was at that sacred moment i retrieved + reclaimed that lost part of my soul.... my sacred self... and i had to smile knowing that... i am........... bright blessings... weaver x (((o))) |
