Vincent Van Gogh

I always loved Van Gogh as a soul mate. Hope you also value his message
even if you never paint. Just ponder the wonder of the sky and stars!

Vincent Van Gogh

March 30 is the birthday of the artist who wrote, “To do good work, one must eat well, be well housed, have one’s fling from time to time, smoke one’s pipe, and drink one’s coffee in peace”: Vincent van Gogh, born in Groot-Zundert, Holland, in 1853. Not much is known about his childhood, except that he was one of six children, a quiet boy, not especially drawn to artistic pursuits. He worked for a time in an art gallery in The Hague as a young man, then left to follow in his clergyman father’s footsteps as a sort of missionary to the poor. His behavior was erratic, but his family supported him as best they could. And while he didn’t last too long as an evangelist, he felt a kinship with the working classes — an affinity demonstrated again and again in…

Loved the broken

Served the lepers

Lover Acclaims:

There’s a person inside me
deeply in love with you
A person who’d sail any sea
to be with you; you with me
unafraid of everything, for you
he conquers roaring fears,
threats and dangers -evil made
devouring dragons; venomous snakes.

Look at the beauty in your eyes
The glowing sunrise shines
Your smile moves clouds; opens skies
Your laughter delights butterflies.

Ocean greets you as you pass
Gorgeous toes leave their mark,,,
Breezes blow through your hair
elegantly…while astonished eyes
all stare…Who is this mermaid fair?

Quotes for Palm Sunday:

“When I let faith and trust lead the way I know I’m being divinely guided, I can trust my body and let it move how it feels prompted.”
Archangel Haniel

“As I look back on my life, I accept the things I cannot change and focus on letting go of any negativity.”

Archangel Haniel

“Good literature continually read for pleasure must, let us hope, do some good to the reader: must quicken his perception though dull, and sharpen his discrimination though blunt, and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions.”

A.E. Housman

On this day in 1920, a 23-year-old unknown author named F. Scott Fitzgerald (books by this author) published his debut novel, This Side of Paradise, to wide acclaim.
This Side of Paradise is a love story inspired by Fitzgerald’s romance with Zelda Sayre (books by this author). The summer before the book’s publication, Zelda had broken up with him. Fitzgerald returned to his hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota, hoping that writing a successful novel would win her back. He transformed an older unpublished book from his desk, The Romantic Egotist, into This Side of Paradise.
The book’s protagonist, Amory Blaine, enrolls in Princeton as a Midwest native, engages in a failed relationship with a wealthy young woman, joins the Army, and then returns to begin a relationship with a different debutante, much like Scott Fitzgerald himself. The novel was extraordinarily successful, selling out within three days of its first print.
Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald were married in New York a week after the book’s publication.

It’s the birthday of the feminist writer and activist who is widely (and erroneously) credited with coining the phrase, “A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” That’s Gloria Steinem (books by this author), born in Toledo, Ohio (1934). The cofounder of MS magazine, she has been the subject of many biographies and documentaries, including HBO’s Gloria: In Her Own Words. In The Glorias, a 2020 film based on her book My Life on the Road, Steinem is represented by four actresses, who portray her life at different ages. The Glorias had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020.

The 9 Aura Colors and Their Meanings (+ What They Say About a …
During an aura reading, an aura reader will typically ask the client to sit against a backdrop and then take a photo. The camera will produce a Polaroid with different colors across the picture. The colors to the right represent the person’s emotional state during the prior week. The colors over the head and torso represent their current emotional state. And the colors to the left represent their weeks to come.
To put it simply, aura photography shows the auric field of a person. Christina Lonsdale, a Portland-based artist, explains it like this: “The camera uses hand sensors that pick up this energy field and a proprietary algorithm matches this energy to a color.”
To determine what those colors in the photograph actually mean, here is a breakdown of all the aura color meanings:
A red aura means someone has an energetic, passionate, and fiery personality. They don’t like to follow instructions and will put their thoughts into action without hesitation. Red is associated with the root chakra, so having a red aura means a person’s root chakra is healthy and unblocked.
A yellow aura, or a gold aura, means someone is sunny, cheery, and charismatic. Anyone with a yellow aura is confident, strong, and empowered. They make friends everywhere they go because they are social and have a personality that attracts others. This color is associated with the solar plexus chakra, so anyone with a yellow aura has their solar plexus unblocked.
A purple aura, or a violet aura, represents sensitivity, intuition, and intelligence. It is associated with the third-eye chakra. Anyone with a purple aura or a violet aura may have psychic ability.
An orange aura represents creativity and sexual energy. These people learn from experience rather than reading theories or essays. They prefer having hands-on experience in a subject. Orange is associated with the sacral chakra, so anyone with an orange aura has their sacral unblocked.
A green aura means someone is kind, compassionate, and forgiving. They have an open heart and are easily influenced by others since they choose to see the good in people. They also love music and nature. This color is associated with the heart chakra, which means anyone with a green chakra has their heart chakra unblocked. However, the green aura color meaning can also be negative.  Muddier shades of green can represent possessiveness and fear of not being loved.

A pink aura means someone is kind, compassionate, caring, and loving. They must be careful when it comes to setting boundaries because their sweet nature makes it easy for others to take advantage of them. Like a green aura, this color is associated with the heart chakra.
A blue aura, or an indigo aura, represents a powerful mind. They are insightful and wise. However, they need to be careful to ground themselves since they are daydreamers. This color is associated with the throat chakra.
A white aura means someone has a quick mind and a strong sense of connection to a higher power. However, they are perfectionists who are always nervous and worried. This aura is associated with the crown chakra.
A brown aura, or a tan aura, means a person is hard-working, grounded, and prefers working with their hands. However, this color can also represent greed and selfishness. It suggests a person is self-involved and highly opinionated.
A grey aura is uncommon. It represents negative emotions and negative energy. The color can indicate a lack of direction or confusion about where a person is headed in their life.
A turquoise aura means someone has strong communication skills. They are multi-taskers who are incredibly organized and are great at handling tough situations. Because they are so magnetic, they have a strong influence on others.
A black aura is a sign someone is exhausted or stressed. Although most people’s auras can have both positive and negative associations, this aura color meaning is entirely negative. This emotional imbalance is incredibly unhealthy. However, grounding or energy healing can help brighten the aura back up.
A rainbow aura is rare to see. These auras typically belong to someone who is spiritually evolved, who meditates regularly, or who considers themselves an energy healer. There is also a belief that first-time incarnations to the Earth have rainbow auras because they are still spiritually connected to the realm of creation.
The 7 Aura Layers:
Auras are actually layered. Each layer represents a different part of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual conditions of a human being. It’s important to know the aura layer meaning in addition to the color meaning, so here is what each one represents:
The first aura layer is the Etheric Layer, which outlines the body. This layer is only located one to two inches from a person, which is why it is able to reveal the conditions and health of the physical body.
The second layer is the Emotional Layer, which is in the shape of an oval. This layer is two to four inches away from the body. It is constantly changing and reflects a person’s current mood.
The third layer is the Mental Layer. It is located four to eight inches from the body. Mental health issues commonly present themselves in this layer.
The fourth layer is the Astral Bridge Layer. It is eight to twelve inches away from the body. It is the window to a person’s spiritual nature and represents love, well-being, and life-balance.
The fifth layer is the Etheric Template Layer. It is two feet away from the body. It represents the level of communication and creativity a person contains.
The sixth layer is the Celestial Layer. It is two to three feet away from the body. It represents the subconscious mind.
The seventh layer is the Ketheric Template Layer. This is the final layer, which protects all the other auras and holds them together.

Poem to the First Generation of People to Exist After the Death of the English Language
by Billy Collins

I’m not going to put a lot of work into this
because you won’t be able to read it anyway,
and I’ve got more important things to do
this morning, not the least of which
is to try to write a fairly decent poem
for the people who can still read English.

Who could have foreseen English finding
a place in the cemetery of dead languages?

I once imagined English placing flowers
at the tombstones of its parents, Latin and Anglo-Saxon,
but you people can actually visit its grave
on a Sunday afternoon if you still have days of the week.

I remember the story of the last speaker,
of Dalmatian being tape-recorded in his hut
as he was dying under a horse-hair blanket.
But English? English seemed for so many of us
the only true way to describe the world
as if reality itself were English
and Adam and Eve spoke it in the garden
using words like snake, apple, and perdition.

Of course, there are other words for things
but what could be better than boat,
pool, swallow (both the noun and the verb),
statuette, tractor, squiggly, surf, and underbelly?

I’m sorry.
I’ve wasted too much time on this already.
You carry on however you do
without the help of English, communicating
with dots in the air or hologram hats or whatever.
You’re just like all the ones who say
they can’t understand poetry
but at least you poor creatures have an excuse.

So I’m going to turn the page
and not think about you and your impoverishment.
Instead, I’m going to write a poem about red poppies
waving by the side of the railroad tracks,
and you people will never even know what you’re missing.

It’s the birthday of the man who said, “My poetry is suburban, it’s domestic, it’s middle class, and it’s sort of unashamedly that, but I hope there’s enough imaginative play in there that it’s not simply poems about barbecuing.” That’s the poet Billy Collins (books by this author), born in New York City (1941). He was an only child. Before he even knew how to read, he would page through books and pretend that he was reading whenever his parents had company. He said, “I would say it was a fairly happy childhood. But they say he who says that is just better at repressing things.” He wrote his first poem at the age of seven when he was driving with his parents and looked out the window and saw a sailboat on the East River.
He hasn’t stopped writing poems since then. He said:
“I was a most impressionable teenager back in the days of beatnik glory, so I responded fully to Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti’s ‘Coney Island of the Mind’ — still a good title — Gregory Corso, and others. I was in Paris for a summer in the early sixties and hung self-consciously around the corners of the scene on the Boul Mich, as they called it. I sat at the same table with Corso and others, and I even hung around with an American girl named Ann Campbell, whom Realities magazine had called ‘The Queen of the Beatniks.’ (Let’s see … what did that make me??) But mostly I was a Catholic high school boy in the suburbs who fantasized about stealing a car and driving nonstop to Denver. I probably would have done it, but I didn’t have access to those special driving pills Neal Cassady had. Plus, there was always a test to study for, or band practice.”
Collins was named U.S. Poet Laureate in 2001 and held the title until 2003. As U.S. Poet Laureate, Collins read his poem The Names at a special joint session of the United States Congress on September 6, 2002, held to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks.[
His books include The Art of Drowning (1995), Sailing Alone Around the Room: New and Selected Poems (2001), Horoscopes for the Dead (2011), Aimless Love (2013), The Rain in Portugal (2016) and most recently, Whale Day (2020).

At Home
by Linda Gregg

Far is where I am near.
Far is where I live.
My house is in the far.
The night is still.
A dog barks from a farm.
A tiny dog not far below.
The bark is soft and small.
A lamp keeps the stars away.
If I go out there they are.

Linda Gregg, “At Home” from All of It Singing: New and Selected Poems. © 1985 Linda Gregg. Used by permission of The Permissions Company

Today is the first day of spring, the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The Earth is tilted on its axis, so as it travels around the sun each pole is sometimes tilted toward the sun and sometimes tilted away. It is this tilt that causes the seasons, as well as the shortening and lengthening of daylight hours. On this day the North and South Poles are equally distant from the sun, so we will have almost exactly the same amount of daytime as nighttime.
Emily Dickinson said: “A little Madness in the Spring / Is wholesome even for the King.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “Spring still makes spring in the mind,
When sixty years are told;
Love wakes anew this throbbing heart,
And we are never old.”
Mark Twain said, “It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want — oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!”
