THE HAIL !

Hail !  lOh!  Mother of Universe,

the creator of the creations,

centre of Cosmos   you are!

With innumerable dimensions to form!

Source of the flowing energy,

image of divine beauty,

empowering the weak,

a manifestation of the Oceanic love …

Sinking is the ship of my life,

Steer the wheel and be my guide,

ushering me away from the storming sea,

to a safer shore of destiny…

O! Divine Mother! the mother of all!

where else can I surrender

my ego and self ,

but only in your arms!

Grace be on me ,

the lotus eyed!

I pray to be forever …

at the feet of divine…

LIGO CIRCLE OF APPRECIATION !

In Latvia, Midsummer is called  as Jani( SON OF GODS) or  Līgo svētki (svētki = festival). It is a national holiday celebrated on a large scale by almost everyone in Latvia and by people of Latvian origin abroad. Celebrations consist of a lot of traditional elements  as baking pīrāgi, singing hundreds of Latvian folk songs dedicated to Jāņi, burning bonfire to keep light all through the night and jumping over it, wearing wreaths of flowers (for women) and oak leaves (for men) together with modern commercial products and ideas. There are umpteen  beliefs and traditions allover Latvian on what should be done on that day for good harvest, for predicting the future, for attracting your future spouse etc. People decorate their houses and lands with birch or sometimes oak branches and flowers as well as leaves, especially fern . (REF:WIKIPEDIA.ORG)

In my words :

 

A great blog is the one which spreads sunshine,

even in our gloomy times,

it reflects the emotions as I go through it,

fills our senses with humour and awe,

sometimes attracting  by the mindblowing spark,

colouring the  imaginations vividly,

whispering few words lovely,

expressing the truth in subtle way,

enfolding many mysteries that died away,

opening a new outlook to the mind,

creating a path to the  heart pristine,

touching my feelings with innocence,

I smile,laugh,like and love the page,

And as I leave the blog ,

I drop a tear as I go away.

I would like to include in this beautiful circle two wonderful bloggers…
