Be Still And Listen

I am quiet so that the Spirits
can enter and call my name.
I listen as they speak
I hold no thought of shame.

They come to me in the silence
of the meditation by the fire.
I open myself to the teachings
and they fill my soul with desire.

The Spirits come to tell me
things I could not know.
Of legends before my time
and where the Spirits go.

They talk of the souls of the departed
sitting at the Wise Council in the sky.
They tell of the coming again
of things we thought had passed us by.

The return of the buffalo on the plains,
the return of the water so pure,
they tell of the peace among the men
who know the land so sure.

Of hearts in the mending,
of peace among us all.
Of great men still standing
long after the fall.

Returning to a time
where there was abundance in the land.
And the land was shared by all
before it left our hands.

No matter what your Native heritage,
you have Spirits of your tribe
reaching out to tell you of the legends.
Be still and listen ... with pride.

I think we should get ourselves some honey bee facts, after all so many healing and health-promoting opportunities for the humans begin with this little busy creature. As you read the following 20 statements about honey’s great creator, you will be so intrigued just like me by this teensy-weensy fellow’s extraordinary abilities.

1. The honey bee has been around for 30 million years.

2. It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.

3. Honey bees are environmentally friendly and are vital as pollinators.

4. They are insects with a scientific name - Apis mellifera.

5. They have 6 legs, 2 eyes, and 2 wings, a nectar pouch, and a stomach.

6. The honeybee's wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distinctive buzz.

7. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour, hence it would have to fly around 90,000 miles - three times around the globe - to make one pound of honey.

8. The average honey bee will actually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

9. It takes about 556 workers to gather 1 pound of honey from about 2 million flowers.

10. It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s flight around the world.

11. A honey bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip.

12. A colony of bees consists of 20,000-60,000 honeybees and one queen.

13. Worker honey bees are female, live 6 to 8 weeks and do all the work.

14. The queen bee lives for about 2-3 years and is the only bee that lays eggs. She is the busiest in the summer months, when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength, and lays up to 2500 eggs per day.

15. The male honey bees are called drones, and they do no work at all, have no stinger, all they do is mating.

16. Each honey bee colony has a unique odour for members’ identification.

17. Only worker bees sting, and only if they feel threatened and they die once they sting. Queens have a stinger, but don’t leave the hive to help defend it.

18. It is estimated that 1100 honey bee stings are required to be fatal.

19. Honey bees communicate with one another by "dancing".

20. During winter, honey bees feed on the honey they collected during the warmer months. They form a tight cluster in their hive to keep the queen and themselves warm.

My most memorable honey bee fact is No 19: Honey bees communicate with one another by "dancing". And the most incredible to me is No 2: It is the only insect that produces edible food for man!

Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age,

often dreams of what may lie over the rainbow.

One day a tornado hits her home town and carries her away

to Munchkinland - at the end of the rainbow.

The Munchkins fete Dorothy as a heroine.

Dorothy wants to go home to Kansas and seeks

the help of the kind Sorceress of the North.

Only the great Wizard of Oz, says the Sorceress, can help Dorothy get back to Kansas.

Dorothy persuades three friends to accompany her on the trip to the Emerald City to see the Wizard.

They are Scarecrow, who lacks a brain, he thinks;

the Tin Woodman, who has no heart,

and the Cowardly Lion, who would like to have some courage.

The Wicked Witch of the West vows vengeance on

Dorothy and does all she can to stop the friends getting to the Emerald City.

But they do reach it, and manage to see the Wizard.

He will only help them, he says, if they kill the Wicked Witch of the West,

an apparently impossible task. They do succeed, they get all their

wishes and the Wizard accompanies Dorothy to Kansas in a rocket ship.

LOL, hahaaa, okay okay, Not a Rocket ship just putting in some

trivia for you all, can you remember what the Wizard use to take Dorthy home.

Also, how many songs can you remember that was sung during the whole movie!!

There are 10 of them!

There were actually several pairs of ruby slippers made. Each shoe was covered with red satin and lined with cream-colored kid leather, to which was applied 2,300 sequins. Each leather bow comprised 46 rhinestones, 42 bugle beads, and 3 costume jewels. Red or orange felt on the shoes' soles muffled the sound of footsteps. Typical of the early Technicolor process, the shoes' sequins were a deep burgundy and crimson color in order to shimmer a bright red on film.

Buddy Ebsen was originally cast as the Tin Man, but developed a severe allergic reaction to the silver paint make-up, and needed to be hospitalized. Less than two weeks after the filming began, he was replaced by Jack Haley. Some of the group vocals recorded by Ebsen were used for the movie anyway.

The "oil" that was used to lubricate the Tin Man was not really oil.
It was discovered that oil would not photograph well, so they used chocolate syrup instead.

For comic relief, the Cowardly Lion's tail was given a life of its own. When the tail was swinging loose from the costume, it was supported by a fishing line from the catwalk above the stage. If you look closely, you can actually see the fishing line in several of the scenes. For dancing, running, and posing for publicity stills, the line was attached to a small ring on the back of the costume. The tail was also flexible enough for Bert Lahr to wring it in his paws, or wipe away his tears with its tip. But a separate, rigid tail was waved above the rocks for the scene where the Cowardly Lion and his friends are assaulted by the Winkies.

Ray Bolger, The Scarecrow went through several costume changes , but his make-up caused
the most problems. It was alight mask of baked rubber
designed to simulate burlap.
The mask didn't last for more than a day. Bolger went through over 40 masks
during production.

Billie Burke was Fifty-three years old when she played the part of Glinda. The Los Angeles Times raved "[Burke] appears almost like a being eternally young". Years later, in her 1949 autobiography With a Feather on My Nose, Burke exclaimed: "My favorite role was in The Wizard of Oz, directed by the great Victor Fleming, in which I played Glinda, the Good Fairy."

On Aug. 20, Margaret found out that Gale Sondergaard
had been given the role of The Wicked Witch. On Oct. 10, Margaret was
given the role when Gale declined it because of the change in the Witch's character In 1957, she is quoted to have said:
" I've frightened more children than practically anyone else.It always seems to funny to me; too, because I love children so much.

Dorothy's little dog in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is described as a black dog, with long, silky hair. The illustrator W.W. Denslow made him look like a disheveled terrier or Scottie. Later editions illustrated by John R. Neill redrew Toto as a Boston bull. For the MGM movie, Scotties were considered but a Cairn terrier named Terry eventually landed the role.Toto aka "Terry" had barked in the movie 44 times!

One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey.
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what’s true, One life can make a difference,
You see, it’s up to you!

Much Love Geri xoxo ♥

Xena's Thoughts on Love..."Being with you, is the most wonderful feeling that can be felt. When two hearts meet, is like a sound of the wind hitting the window opening of its surroundings. Touching you gently makes me feel brand new and full of shine, when I kiss your lips I know then what a good feeling of just feeling skin to skin can be, like a special sweetness of a human being that God did create. Stroking your hair and kissing you makes me see wonders of beauty that two people make. The feeling good all over, knowing that you're the one that fits that wonder of love. Sure from deep inside, and looking at you, your eyes tell me you are sure and that you do truly love for I will always and still love thee.

Gentle Breeze's Thoughts on Love..."Love to me is: the cry of a new born babe to his or her parents, the touch of a toddler's soft and smooth hand, the caress of a lover's eyes before the kiss, the open conversation of a caring friend, the honest concern of a understanding parent, but mostly it is Time for others in your life.

Tweak's Thoughts on Love..."For me love nurtures, confirms, forgives, supports and builds. Sees you for who you are, doesn't judge and is faithful in all matters of the heart. For me all these qualities and more can be found in my wife's heart. I am truly blessed."

http://tweak-o-matic.spaces.live.com/

Jessica's Thoughts on Love..."Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person. Love is when it kills you to see the other hurting.Love it is a power that no one can put in words. its amazing and painful all at the same time."

Carlos' Thoughts on Love..."Love is that condition in which The happiness of another person Is essential to your own. [Stranger in a Strange Land]"

Rachid's Thoughts on Love..."

Love is the way you look at me
when we have been apart for some time.

Love is the way your lips feel on mine
as if they are home and will never leave.

Love is the way you hold me
when I cry in your arms;
they are always there to support me
if and when I do fall.

Love is when I can look into your eyes
and all I can do is smile;
for this is where I belong.

Love is your kiss, caress, acceptance, and understanding
because without them
I would not be where I am
in a place that is all peace and no judgment.

Love is distance,

love is sadness,
for you are not always here
and my heart aches for those precious moments we share.

As our love grows, so does my understanding
of why you are now part of my life;
and that is to show me the meaning of true love
which I can see
everytime you look at me.

Ed's Thoughts on Love..."Love is between two people that share the same feelings, someone that you are comfortable with at all times, understanding, thinks like you do, and puts in a lot of hard work to keep it going just as you have to also. Love is hard. It is something one has to work at to keep it running. Never talk down your mate, or talk bad on her or him. Staying true is not that hard if you are really in Love. I've been their with the same girl I married 43 years ago and still in love, but now we have become best friends."

http://powerclips.spaces.live.com/

Rusty's Thoughts on Love..."Love is a feeling that reaches down in your soul and lifts you up and makes you feel like soaring up high above the clouds, makes you feel warm all over. It can be felt in a lover's touch, a child's butterfly kisses, a real good song, a conversation with a special friend or a parents embrace. A wonderful feeling that completes you. To me that is LOVE.

http://imagequeen22.spaces.live.com/

Delores' Thoughts on Love..."The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way also Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear."

http://d124nn83.spaces.live.com/

Sarah's thoughts on Love..."To Love is to be real, to be human and to be fully alive, as a loving person you do not need to be perfect -- just human."

(http://davisonpumpkin.spaces.live.com/)

Bev's Thoughts on Love..."Love means so many different things to me. Love is a beautiful and magical feeling that comes from within your heart and soul."

http://asianrose1.spaces.live.com/

Nicci's Thoughts on Love..."What is love to me... to know that though you could live without that person but not want to ...to rahter spend your days fighting with them then making love to anyone else......"

http://dragonlady05.spaces.live.com/

SxybeepSgt's Thoughts on Love..."Love, to me...was just a word that described an emotion, that is, until I looked into Scott's eyes for the very first time. Since that very moment in time, love became to mean placing every want, need and desire of his before mine without hesitation. Today, love means waiting for Scott to return from the war. He took my heart with him, just as he left me with his. Love, to me...is being blessed by God because he gave me my soul-mate. He gave me everything I prayed for. He gave me my Husband. He gave me my very own hero. He gave me my Marine! "
