Photo was taken yesterday at Tooreenbawn, Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)

I followed a butterfly through our gardens and it landed in a corner off the garden and onto a disused bucket. The bucket looked plain and ordinary but was transformed into something special when the butterfly landed on it.

Thought on Saturday – August – 28/08/2010

The following prayer was written by Marjorie Ahern:

I have the power to choose to see things as they really are. I choose to see things as God does, with the eyes of love. Since it is the nature of God to be present everywhere, I know that all there really is in this entire universe is the love of God. The love of God surrounds me, dwells within me, goes before me and soothes the way for me. I am a beloved child of the universe and the universe lovingly takes care of me now and forevermore. When I need something, I turn to God who created me. I ask for what I need and then I give thanks even before receiving, knowing that it will come to me in the perfect time, space and sequence. Amen
