“Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life.
The evening beam that smiles the clouds away,
and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.”
Lord Byron
Rainbow Obsidian: brings light and love to one’s life. Allows for the spiritual side in one’s nature to be recognized. Known as the “stone of pleasure”, it can bring enjoyment and gratification to one’s life. It is also used for “gazing” especially in matters of love, relationship and the development of one’s etheric and physical bodies.
“Whenever someone awakens fully,
it effects human consciousness at a collective level.
It is like dropping a stone into a dark murky pond.
Ripples of light!
Not one word need be spoken.”
Leonard Jacobsen
“May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
May the sunshine brighten your heart.
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you,
and may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.”
Irish Blessings
“Art will liberate itself from
the needs and desires of men.
No longer will we paint a forest
or a horse as we like
or as they appear to us,
but as they really are.”
Franz Marc
“When you remove the risk,
you remove the challenge.
When you remove the challenge,
you wither on the vine.”
Alex Low
“The Earth laughs in flowers.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“How does one become a butterfly?”
she asked pensively.
“You must want to fly so much that you
are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
Trina Paulus
“There is nothing we like to communicate
to others as much as the seal of secrecy
together with what lies under it.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“But friendship is the breathing rose,
with sweets in every fold.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“In our appetite for gossip,
we tend to gobble down everything before us,
only to find, too late,
that it is our ideals we have consumed,
and we have not been enlarged by the feasts
but only diminished.”
Pico Iyer
