“Camouflage is a game we all like to play,
but our secrets are as surely revealed by
what we want to seem to be as by
what we want to conceal.”
Russell Lynes
Beauty Transformed
“As you simplify your life,
the laws of the universe will be simpler;
solitude will not be solitude,
poverty will not be poverty,
nor weakness weakness.”
Henry David Thoreau
CHAROITE… “stimulates the ability to integrate rapidly changing energies, which can be the result of shocking circumstances on earth or effects from off-planet energies such as astrological cycles and discoveries in astronomy… Charoite contains power in subtlety, the majesty of being able to evoke increasing levels of awareness based on being able to integrate increasing complexity of insight. While it encourages depth of surrender and search, it opens to larger fields of beauty and truth. Charoite speaks naturally of bridging what is viewed as wild and unattainable, even threatening in its prospect, with what is most real, most whole and most visceral within the self. Therefore, it occupies a position of being on the edge where diverse realities meet, share and integrate to create new species of thought, artistic expression, and eras of human endeavor.” Crystalline Communion 2000, Collen Marquist & Jack Frasl
Scientific Properties: Charoite is an unusual mineral of quite rare occurrence. It is found today only in one location, along the Chary River at Aldan in Russia. It formed from an alteration of limestones by the close presences of an alkali-rich nephline syenite intrusion. It is the heat, the pressure and more importantly, the infusion of unique chemicals into the rock that is responsible for the transformations into completely new minerals such as charoite. Why charoite has not been found in other locations is not fully understood, but is is probably due to a combination of a chemically unique limestone reacting with a chemically unique intrusion and subjected to unique physical conditions.

Mystical Properties: Charoite is often called a ‘stone of transformation’ as well as a stone of power. In particular it transforms negative emotions such as anger and fear into positive feelings. As a part of the transformation process it allows release of those negative emotions, so one can change and move forward. More Properties

Nature’s Depth
“It was not that the jagged precipices
were lofty, that the encircling woods were
the dimmest shade, or that the waters were
profoundly deep; but that over all,
rocks, wood, and water, brooded the spirit of repose,
and the silent energy of nature stirred
the soul to its inmost depths.”
Thomas Cole

“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy,
in whatever situation I may be;
for I have also learned from experience that
the greater part of our happiness or misery
depends upon our dispositions,
and not upon our circumstances.”

and looking for a thirsty lover.
Love and lover follow each other

“One ought never to turn one’s back on
a threatened danger and try to run away from it.
If you do that, you will double the danger.
But if you meet it promptly and without flinching,
you will reduce the danger by half.
Never run away from anything. Never!”
Winston Churchill
Dancing In The Light
“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you,
but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
Rumi

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
Notice the bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and feel the wind.
Live your life to the fullest potential,
and fight for your dreams.”

“Don’t underestimate the value of
doing nothing, of just going along,
listening to all the things you can’t hear,
and not bothering.”
