Laurie’s contagious attitude inspires one to pause, listen and tune into healthy strides of love connecting the divine within.
Foreword: In the academic world of physical geography, the point at which (2) or more rivers meet is referred to as a confluence site. Such a site is ideally positioned to benefit from trade and commerce, and prosperity is practically guaranteed. After editing Laurie’s work, I sometimes feel as if she is situated at a confluence site where coincidences meet. Laurie’s contagious attitude inspires one to pause, listen and tune into healthy strides of love connecting the divine within. ~ Russ J. Blagdon
Reflection: Blue Diamond’s Graceful Calls (When teacher outside is silent and teacher within speaks volumes.)
Life has been full of pushing, pulling, fussing, and fighting. It is through these experiences that I realize it had been my own artist’ ego that so neatly backed me-wrong, right into a few very tight corners. It is the close calming purr and roar of solid, wise blue eyes that saw through my warm, poignant brown eyes that grace and I had met this time around as one voice face to face in the mirror of each other.
Slow and steady I go as we move along and grow strong in quiet, solemn blue. My heart has been gently pierced by the disciplined silence from you. Living the questions and answers as crystals open me cutting the way to wise. Dreams and visions reveal truths that shake me to my core and set me free into soul ‘s divine more.
Gentle, wonderful-full tears bleed into me, seeping tenderly, covering and coloring me. Filling me to overflowing with passionate kisses in mind’s eye.
Real, and tough love mysteriously transforms us with each breath we take. Spirit whispers, sweetly, as I hear “sing, songbird, sing. Heal those broken wings and fly. Watch, look, and listen as your soul soars and roars, moving mountains.”
In God we must trust while the most precious, deep blue diamond’s protect our pure essence.
I find my voice rising again in a tapestry of sighs and woes and highs and lows as I sing in celebration. Yes, we bloom where we are even when we fall. With a new dawn light peek through. And, with eyes wide open, I see a glimpse of shifting tides as a new song arrives.
To bring out the best in each other is the most loving gift we are meant to be.
I am grateful for graceful calls, and especially for speedy recoveries. I see and know now how and why true leaders are solid and tall commanding deepest respect and honor. Christ and Buddha like, they pay the highest price for all. Thank you, Blue Diamonds past, present and beyond.
Reference: AndreColumbeSoke8Dan, (Eight-level black belt.) We met outside while both of us were walking actually heads down in the moment. Literally bumped into each other. Talked for two hours and then six weeks of intensive martial arts introduction training. He told me I need to get ready for what is coming. He was spot on! Ref: Black crow showed up on our first session. Sat and chirped to us for at least solid minute. And then. The unfathomable happened.
Grateful, I am for each step of my creative “long and winding road.” I love life and all people. Ah…wonderful and at times complex. Only together we rise above all the Noice. As blue diamond’s highest call keeps us on our toes.
Master Blackbelt Andre Columbe. (Top left.) At sixteen years of age, he was the first youngest to receive his black belt in Canada. I had to post this fabulous photo of Andre at eighteen. What an inspiration. So much more about him to follow. Reminder: Celene Dion’ security, and a black crow… And then intense study for us. In preparation to what was coming.
