Word Power

Word power - the ability words have !

We live in a world where we are inundated with words; news programmes, internet, Twitter, Facebook, newspapers, magazines, books, ebooks, etc.

Have we forgotten the power words have ?
Not so long ago many would only have access to a weekly newspaper which would update them on world and current events or the little radio in the corner of the room brought the world into the home.
We have in some way forgotten the power of words.  In History the words of a great orator would whip a crowd up into a frenzy or impart a belief or ethos.  Words were a powerful tool to gain followers or convey beliefs.

Have you given any thought to the words you use?
Your words hold great power to hurt or heal.  Your choice of words is very important, each word when used with a particular tone can create an energy of its own.  Be careful of what you say and how you say it.

I would love to hear your comments on how words have helped your life.

What's in a raindrop?

What's in a raindrop?

Raindrops are magical to me, they have a force and power that is very evident if you have ever been caught in a downpour, but a single raindrop is like a little jewel glistening as the light catches it.

A single raindrop can encompass a whole world of thoughts and fill you with a sense of wonder and expectation.  As a child i would spend ages watching the raindrops slowly run down the window pane.  Wondering if it would twist or turn or bump into another drop ? My Sister and I would spend a while racing raindrops as they rolled freely along the window or even on the windscreen of our Father's car, hoping I picked the winning one!

In the UK we all need more rain as hosepipe bans have been put in place already this year.  But as many pray for more rain we need to be aware that we should be actually praying in thanks for all the rain we are receiving.  To pray for more indicates to the universe a lack of something and therefore in praying for it you reinforce that ideal.  So to pray in thanks for the abundance of it, brings it in abundance.

So back to magical raindrop, as a child I was fascinated by water and would spend long hours trying to figure out how to touch it.  Actually have you tried that ?  It doesn't feel of anything does it?  I've been drawn to rivers, lakes and the ocean too where the force of water is very visible.  However my awe,  wonder and fascination all started with the humble raindrop.
