How many people can be themselves and share that with others

FEARLESSNESS CONTAINS JOY



Fearlessness contains a feeling of joy and relaxation or well-being. From the goodness of simply being yourself, a quality of upliftedness arises, which is not overly solemn or religious. It is joyful to be in such good health, joyful to have such good posture, joyful to experience that you are alive, you are here. You appreciate colors and the temperature of the air. You appreciate smells and sounds. You begin to use your eyes, your ears, your nose, and your tongue to explore the world. You have never seen such penetrating and extraordinary red before. For the first time, you see such cool and beautiful blue. For the first time, you see such warm and delicate yellow. You see such refreshing, earthy, and wet green; such pure, clean white, as though you are opening your mouth and breathing out at the same time. For the first time, you see such wonderful black. It's so trustworthy that you can almost sleep on it. It has a sheen, which reminds you of stroking a black horse.

This is so true, Christina. Only when we're at "rest" can we truly begin to shine!

[christinaleestemaker]

[christinaleestemaker]

[Jeff Zolkes]

its a cicada, they make song that sounds like electricity in the trees

[christinaleestemaker]

here we have them in the meadows and woods on the ground and make that wonderful sound in summer, you can hear them everywhere I think.

[christinaleestemaker]

can you hear electricity??? I not, but I can see it sometimes flowing through the treads.

[Jeff Zolkes]

I saw it and heard it when a power line blew down outside my house a few weeks ago after a strong Florida storm. The sound was a loud explosion and it lit up everyones houses in a blue light - it was a shock! HAHA, sorry, bad joke.

[christinaleestemaker]

I know what you mean, no bad joke only too tremendous
