“Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter.
Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom,
but we hope it, we know it.”
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In talking about flocks of bird and schools of fish… The swarm …moments when creatures lock themselves into a group "soul" letting go of their particular desires and needs as individual creatures and becoming one body with a transcendent intelligence directing them, creating patterns of motion so complex that they seem to have been choreographed from above.

Infinite Mind —everywhere present–is the highest frequency of energy, in which all things exist as complete. When you see the creative process clearly, your ideas will get synchronized with energy of the same frequency, multiplying in like kind. This is the swarming process.

A staple in the Southern diet for over 300 years, black-eyed peas have long been associated with good luck. A dish of peas or lentils is a New Year's tradition in most areas, bringing good luck and prosperity for this New Year 2011.

Precious is the breath of little rose drops
all exploding under the soft canopy of pink clouds
and forever being embraced by the wings of a rooted forest…
…an exquisitely framed moment within the interlocking dance of life!
