This video will rock your soul, sing to your heart and make your spirit jump for JOY! Right ON!

Mary Robinson Reynolds and her husband, Craig have created this video. Mary says,

“When two or more people come together in the spirit of harmony …it’s like putting LIGHTNING in a Bottle!…

And when this happens, a difference can be made in the lives of so many throughout our communities and world. Amazing things happen when people come together for an objective or goal.“

I agree wholeheartedly! Come together now…feel the beat…Make a difference, y’all!

Lyrics:

Arise from my peaceful sleeping
Flip back my locks & my worrying
A thought of gratefulness is seeping
Encompassing my whole being

I will not confess I am any less - I’m a creator
Hey it’s up to me - I’m counting 1,2,3 & “Poof” it’s there

It goes something like this…

All that you think, say, & do
Shapes the world with your truth
Accept & bless all you’ve made my friend
Tomorrow you can choose again

I used to pray make real my dreamings
Fill my needs, fix my longing
My thoughts of lack shot out into space duplicating
My “not enoughness” into being

If you come from need then need will be the seed of your story
If you come from faith then you can create (with no fear) - oh ours is the glory…forever

All that you think, say, & do
Shapes the world with your truth

Accept & bless all you’ve made my friend
Tomorrow you can choose again
All that you think, say, & do
Shapes the world with your truth

Accept & bless all you’ve made my friend
Tomorrow you can choose choose choose

Thank You Allah, Thank Buddah, Thank You Krishna
Thank You Brother, Thank You Sister, Thank You Nature
Thank You Oprah, Thank You Mother, Thank You Dali Lama
Thank You Teacher, Holy Chakra, Thank You Papa
Thank You God, KUMBAYA Movie

This is an awesome acoustic version of the song, "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.  I love this song...great message, great groove.  I took the liberty of utilizing the blank page before me and titled this post, "release your inner visions!"...in the song Natasha sings, "release your inhibitions!"...THAT TOO!  :0)

The fact that this video is shot in an amazingly beautiful spot near Hadleigh Castle, in Essex, England is icing on the cake!

There's a blank page before you...what will you "write"?...




 

A Vision...Dreamed into Reality

This is an easy one to answer!  I've held a vision for a long time...first recorded in 2003...and then expanded upon on October 7, 2006...funny how this question came up today and reminded me of the it again...I still like it!  Wanna play?

Let's create a magical place of transformation...a Spiritual Disney Land, if you will.  A place where once you visit you can not walk away unchanged, as the Beauty of the Divine has touched your soul in a way that is undeniable.   A place to look into another’s eyes and see yourself.

This is a community built on love and trust.  A sanctuary for the good in all people.  A world within a world.  A place of connection and trust.  A place of authenticity...a place to be vulnerable, a place to be real.  A place to know and feel the support and trust resonant in the field all around.

The mission of this community is to create a sustainable avenue of hope and love for all people.  To ensure the greatest ideals for all human-kind and all creatures great and small.  To provide Spiritual Freedom and just reward for embracing humanity.  To strive to see the Light and good in all...for all.

This community is anywhere and everywhere where love surrounds it and people embrace its goodness and its realness for the intention of purity, grace and love.

This community serves as a living, breathing model in multi-dimensional form for all to experience.  Everyone will come...young, old, small and not so small...from far and wide to experience the greatest gift of a blessing of love from on High.  Children and adults of all ages...teachers, prophets, angelic hosts, dreamers, thinkers, wishers, believers, non-believers, scientists, philosophers, healers, connectors...the list goes on and excludes no one.  It is to be shared.

It is a beautiful sight to behold.  A perfect blend of art and nature.  Functional, practical, whimsical and magical.  There are fountains with flowing water, streams...water soothes the soul and draws us to our inner core--our source--our maker.  There is a lushness of flora and fauna.  Trees to rest your weary selves beneath. The buildings have amazing energy and will be uniquely constructed utilizing natures renewable resources to bring the outside in.  Shelter from the elements only to the degree that is necessary for protection and comforts
purpose...always allowing Mother Nature’s splendor to be seen, touched, felt and heard.

There is a large hall for conferences and gatherings.  An area for messages to be given and heard.  There is much quiet space for contemplation, reflection and meditation.  There is music and dancing.  There are places for self-expression with the intent to come home to the soul’s creativity and calling in many fashions.  This is a place for creativity to be unleashed, a place to come alive.  A place where dreams come true.  A place to live your dream and create your bliss.

There is space for rest and quiet...places to retreat and take the inward journey.  And likewise there is ample space to connect, bond, create and grow together.

There are gardens, growing abundantly with flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruits.  The gardens ask to be planted and nature’s steadfast guidance is followed with the utmost care and attention given to the land and her wishes.

The food that feeds and nourishes enriches body, mind and soul.  Bountiful feasts are shared.  The food has such rich vibrancy and energy that people will notice nourishment as never before on all levels.

The animal kingdom thrives here knowing that to express fully the vision of oneness they must be and are present...sharing their wisdom in harmony with the whole.  Teachers in their own right, the ground, flight and water creatures have much to share and play an integral role in the community. 

Careful attention is paid to balance; always seeking and living harmony in balance with all nature.

Learning space is infinite...not bordered or contained by walls alone but vast...stretching only to the limits of the imagination.

Humanity craves this experience.  They need it.  The utter rapture of pure love, of Divine  Grace.  The unmistakable essence of what is.

The energy and vibration...the very quintessence that is creating this space gives in a point of difference, a distinction beyond previous recognition...and yet reminds us of something oh so familiar, something we do recognize and know to be ‘right’.

The intention of supporting a growing awakening of awareness and consciousness is paramount.  This space goes beyond what has been created before in the sense of healing, wellness and relaxation.  This space is sacred and life giving.  This space calls us to the fullest potential of our higher selves and shares with us the nurtured embrace of infinite support from our loving Universe.

All things manifest that which the intent created.  You have seen this.  It is real.  It is true.  Relax into the dream and let it fully present itself into a reality that can be experienced with all the senses.

Yes, a world within a world...until one day the 3-D world as we know it will no longer be and the world we’ve now created blossoms freely and ripples out and up in all directions encompassing all, forgetting none.  It is our world to create.  It is our world to begin anew.  Beginning today, in this moment and beginning again in every new moment...until one day the world as we know it will be only this.  Beauty, Love, Light, Truth...and Infinite Creation.

...today I add...
This is Gaia Community.  We are creating it here in cyber-space...let's create it together in "real-space"!  Not just one, but many...across the globe.  Models of Conscious Expression, Conscious Living, Conscious Being...CONSCIOUS FUN!!  :0)

And so it goes, the truth is held within the seed.  All that I am, all that I become, the all that is me is already known in it’s fullest expression within the seed.  The seed is small and simple holding within it the infinite wisdom of truth paramount, holding within it the glorious bounty of it’s fullest potential.

We hold a seed in our hands, in our hearts...preparing to sow it, to nurture it, to love it into being.  We have an idea of what this seed will become...we visualize it’s beauty, it’s greatness.  We feel into its strength, its power to provide inspiration, protection, nourishment, growth and continual change and renewal.  We tend to the seed in each moment, with every breath, allowing it into being with our hearts, our hands, our minds, our souls.  We talk to it.  We caress it.  And we watch as its miracle unfolds.

As this occurs another magic is unfolding unbeknownst to us.  The inherent wisdom of the seed already holding within itself the fullest expression of the whole, the all of who it will become is whispering softly, gently, steadily as it begins to take root and prepares to break free...breathing life into its wholeness.

We, above the ground continue to water our seed with love, feed our seed with potential and protect our seed with good intentions and integrity.  We trust that our seed is building a strong foundation in the unseen, solidly rooted, steeped in rich soil that will continue to feed and nourish its needs.  We know that the stronger the roots, the better grounded, the more able the seed will be in its full splendor to fly above the ground with the bees, the hummingbirds, the breeze.  We imagine the possibility, the beauty of what is becoming.  We dream of the sweet nectar, the fruit it will bear.

The seed in its infinite wisdom grows...as it unfolds its wisdom for all to see, we are transformed yet again.  Revealed to us is a remembering, a knowing that no dream is too big, no potential too great.  We remember that in order to fly we must release our wings...as we release our own expectations and allow the wisdom of the seed to express itself, trusting that it’s possible to become even more than we ever imagined.  We remember that as we engage ourselves we are naturally empowered to become all that we are, the seed’s teaching inspires us as we bring our awareness to it.

Our Seed has become the Flower of Life.  The most sacred, most beautiful flower ever to grace our awareness.  This flower, infinitely blessed with the sacred union of the masculine and feminine is encoded with the wisdom of the universe.  The symbolism of this metamorphosis from Seed to Flower of Life is absolutely transformative!

In an interview with Science of Mind magazine (June ‘07) founder of Zaadz, Brian Johnson shared, “Zaadz is committed to helping people discover what their inner seed is pushing them to become and empowering them in realizing that eventual self.”  There is no greater example of that than Zaadz itself being realized into Gaia!  Zaadz has grown and in doing so is showing all of us the way to trusting, to living our dreams, following our bliss and allowing ourselves to become the fullest expression of who we already are, within our seeds, full of potential and wisdom.  Thank you, Brian and all that are Zaadz (and that means YOU!) for your authenticity and integrity; thank you for being what you’re doing and for doing what you’re being!

Come, continue to nurture this seed, see it for the love and beauty it already is, acknowledge its importance, its goodness and light.  Allow it to become all that it already is expressed to the nth degree...unending in its potential.

Zaadz is the Flower of Life.  Zaadz is Gaia.  Breathe in the wisdom, the beauty, the potential and the promise of all that is and all that is to be!  Create the dream and believe it to being. 

Grow with us into our infinite potential, become with us all that we are.

In continuation of the flowing stream around "Canoes...Which Way is Yours Headed", and in the interest of assisting us all to become more aware of consciously choosing to be in the Current of Life flowing DOWNSTREAM...I invite you to consider the word “overcome”. 

What vibration does that word carry?  What “feeling” does it illicit in our bodies? 
Does it bring up any desire that feels like we need to fight something?   Would we ever say, "I can beat this" or "I will triumph over this"?  These are UPSTREAM statements.

Anytime we find ourselves believing, thinking or feeling we need to overcome adversity...overcome anything...we are pointed upstream and away from the solution!

Here's another quote from, "The Astonishing Power of Emotions~Let Your Feelings Be Your Guides" by Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham) that reflects this very thing…

“The belief that there is something to overcome automatically points you UPSTREAM.  Understanding that all you desire is easily attainable by you automatically points
you DOWNSTREAM.  And once you understand that, you are practicing the Art of Allowing your natural Well-Being to flow to you, and you to it…and that is the Art of Allowing yourself to be the YOU that life has caused you to become.” (p. 39)

I trust that all we desire is easily attainable by us.  I trust that the world is exactly as we dream it to be.  What is your dream? 

Here's to dreams that inspire and encourage the Art of Allowing to be fully expressed to it's highest potential in all of us!

Dear Friends,

This New Moon Missive was written by Margaret Koolman from the UK.  Margaret is dear friends with Kay Snow-Davis and their newly co-authored book, "Gateways to the Soul: Heart of Astrology",  will be published sometime in 2008.

I recognized some pearls of wisdom in Margaret's New Moon Update that may also resonate with many of you.  From my perspective it's so helpful to know how what the planets are up to can be influencing our daily experiences!  :0)  Enjoy...

New Moon in Capricorn – 8 January 08
 
                Havinig had the Full Moon already on the Capricorn/Cancer axis, perhaps we’ve been introduced to the need to get safely grounded, before we get going with the next bit.  Now, with the New Moon in Capricorn, it’s time to get actively started on the work of building what you want to achieve.
 
Commit to what inspires you, and go for it!
               
Capricorn is a sign of material achievement – if I follow the rules of material life, I will reap what I sow.  The first approach to achievement is to make a commitment to achieve one thing at a time (maximum of two things for those with a lot of Gemini in their birth chart!).  Commitment means, making a decision about what to focus on, and putting everything else aside.  The things you don’t choose, but don’t want to let go of entirely, can be put ‘on the back burner’ for now.  Let your choice inspire you to action.  Rather than thinking or talking about doing it, get on with it, because you’ll be working in harmony with the cosmos, and you will achieve much more, and quicker, than you would at another time.
               
Another quality of Capricorn is perseverance.  If you find that things don’t work out quite as you expected, or if there are hold-ups or frustrating near misses, don’t give up.  There is always another way to go forward, or it just might be that the way you’ve chosen is not quite ready for you, so try again later, or try something just slightly different which may work.  Saturn is in Virgo, and painstaking efforts towards your goal are likely to be supported.  It is as though we are going through a time where our choices are being tested – just how much do we want what we have chosen?  When you are unsure about what to do, do what needs doing at the moment, no matter what it is.  This gives everything time to fall into a place where you can understand more clearly what to do.
 
Be in touch with your friends within the community
               
What you commit to achieve could be any of the inspired ideas you may have had during the last couple of months, (while Pluto and Jupiter crossed in front of the Galactic Centre).  Or you may have been inspired during the first two weeks of January, (Mars has been retrograding through Gemini, and opposing Pluto and the Galactic Centre).
              
In the New Moon chart, Mars is supporting the North Node, which is now in Aquarius.   During this month, we may find that communicating with others motivates us, and also needs to be an important aspect of whatever we plan to do.  Sharing our experience, learning and teaching in groups, is of value to us all at this time,  By late February, many decisions will be made, and activities begun, that clearly affect us all, and need to be supportive of community.
 
Fun vs work
               
We are likely to find that having fun and getting the work done just don’t go together (Venus in Sagittarius square Saturn in Virgo), so making sure that we put in a good day’s work first, will ensure that our fun is anxiety-free and guilt-free.  The other solution to this problem would be your chosen project involving working with others for the greater good.  You are very likely to enjoy yourself working on it, and make good friends in the process.
 
. . . next Full Moon 22 January
               
The beauty of Capricorn is that we are dealing with the truth, and at the next Full Moon, we should be fairly sure of our footing.  Whatever is said and done around that time promises to be perfectly in tune with the ‘right’ flow of life.  We will need to accept, and work with, the circumstances we find, rather than fighting against them.  This could mean, for example, accepting how you may have contributed to a relationship not working, or that your chosen project benefits only yourself and needs to help others too.  As you forgive your ‘mistakes’ and those of others, and endeavour to respond appropriately within life situations, everything you say and do at this time will be blessed.
 
Contemplation for this New Moon in Capricorn
 
Accepting, and working with, the truth is the path to peace.
 
Nothing complicated needs to be done,
nothing needs to be untangled.
Confusion and uncertainty are symptoms of ‘blindness’
and sometimes blindness protects us
from performing a reckless action.
If we want to ‘see’ the truth of a situation,
we first need to develop wise caution, and patience.
 
It has been said:
‘The only mistake we can make is not to learn from our experience.’
Accept your experience separate from your reaction to it,
so that you can see it clearly and choose an appropriate response.
 
Accept and complete the task that is in your hand, before moving on to the next.
Be kindly honest with yourself about where you fall short of your ideals –
they are meant to guide you, not to be achieved.
Search for, and love, the truth
because it is the vibration of spirit walking upon earth.

With love,
Margaret

My friend Anna and I interviewed the most extraordinary and courageous woman today.  She lives in Zimbabwe, Africa.  Her life there is beyond what most of us can even imagine...most of us would have a difficult time believing that the experiences she has on a daily basis still go on in this world we live in.  There she is, living a life that seems unreal for anyone to choose; and yet each day she makes the conscious choice to stay, to live to the fullest, to make a difference, to be in the moment.

To me, Tessa (the name she chose for herself for the interview as it would be too dangerous to divulge her real name) is a modern day bodhisattva.  She is an enlightened being...walking her simple truth every day, without an ounce of blame or judgement.  She is an enlightened being...so very in touch with her humility as she shares her story only to follow it up with her feelings that she’s not doing anything so special and that she wishes there was so much more she could do.
 
Through Tessa’s experiences in Zimbabwe she has come to know the true meaning of life.  Many of us seek for this our whole lives, not ever really knowing if we’ve found it or not.  Many of us have glimpses of these special keys to the universe as it were.  Tessa lives them daily.  Such profound simplicity of truths flow from her mouth like water gently caressing a rock to it’s perfect smoothness moment to moment.

Tessa has seen starvation, murder and countless other horrific situations in her immediate periphery.  She shared that through the challenging lessons Zimbabwe is providing her she has learned the realness of living in the moment.  She explained that in her life in Zim there truly is nothing else...to waste one’s time anywhere beyond the immediate moment is simply that, a waste of time, an illusion.

She shared the importance for her of being aware that she has every thing she could ever need.  She has a family to love, who loves her dearly.  Why would she need anything else, she poses?  When people look at Tessa’s situation they often remark, “why does she stay?”.  Tessa’s response is, “Why would I leave?  Just to have another choice of the kind of bread I can eat?  I have bread; that is enough.  Why would I leave, to build wealth?  This is immaterial.  I have every thing I need.  I have my family, whom I love...and they love me.  Why would I leave when I know that I am choosing to live every day from my heart in Zimbabwe.  I am not choosing out of fear, out of obligation.  I am consciously choosing because in my heart, in my gut it’s what feels right.”

A day later I still find myself in a certain state of peace and bliss after talking with Tessa on the phone.  When I reflect on the way I feel I think it’s interesting.  I could feel devastated, hopeless as it’s absolutely tragic what Tessa’s living; and I know that if I felt that, I would be doing Tessa a great disservice as her intention would never be to have anyone feel sorry for her.  She wants the world to wake up, as so many of us do...and we are, one slow step at a time.  Tessa said that she loves and appreciates every one’s prayers and good thoughts.  She believes firmly in the power of prayer and knows without a doubt that it’s because of this that she is able to get up every day and make the difference that she chooses to make.  She knows that if she gets too caught up in the enormity of the world situation...or even the vastness of the challenges in Zimbabwe alone that it could weaken her; she could get sucked into feeling hopeless and helpless. Instead she focuses on what is right outside her door where there’s a neighbor with children who haven’t eaten for days.

Tessa is a horse person at heart.  Some years ago she started a horse rescue as a way to blend her passions for horses and for making a difference.  She shared bright stories that inspire her to continue on her chosen path.  She told us of the countless horses she has saved from starvation, from being left in the bush to die--tied to a tree at the mercy of lions or other.  Tessa told us of the many horses she’s saved from the hands of abuse and cruelty, many because their people just don’t know any better...some from people who very well know better and choose for some godforsaken unknown reason to seemingly take out their burdens on their horses.  The name “Tessa” that she chose for herself during the interview was the name of a brutally abused horse who was not able to heal and has crossed from this world.  The interview and this article are dedicated in tribute to “Tessa”, the horse who gave her life and remains forever in the heart of this very special sister in Zimbabwe.
 
The miraculous ways that Tessa is able to continue to do this work in her words are beyond her.  She again affirms that it is the prayers and support from all those around the world who care that make the difference.  When she finds herself in dire straights, not knowing where her next loaf of bread will come from, much less say feed and medication for the horses, an angel appears with exactly what she needs.  She trusts that she is cared for and has faith beyond measure that as long as she is grateful and lives from her heart that the rest is taken care of. 

When I expressed gratitude to Tessa for the gifts of wisdom she so generously and lovingly brings to the planet, to each of us through the stories she shared I could feel her blush.  With such humility and grace she again replied that she didn’t feel she was doing anything special...just living in the moment and doing what she could to make a difference.

The love that I feel for my new sister in Zimbabwe is amazing and deep. I am so blessed to have met her, to know her as my neighbor on this planet.  I am forever grateful to Tessa for sharing her story with us.  Tessa assumed a certain level of risk by talking to us.  She put fear aside once again as her heart was saying YES!

May we all listen to our hearts, be in the moment and say YES when it feels right!  As Tessa shared, if we could all just do these things, the world would be a brighter, better place.  I agree with every ounce, every fiber of my being.  Thank you, Tessa for your being-ness...for the bright light that is your soul shining for all the world.  You are an inspiration.  You bring hope.  You are the Peace and the Light and the Love that this world needs and you so gracefully bring the rest of us to those very qualities within ourselves.

**Author’s note:  Tessa’s interview will be available to listen to on IN HORSE HARMONY during the month of February ‘08.

We did a bit of research following the interview and discovered that the inflation rate in Zimbabwe at the time of this posting (1-4-08) is 12,000%! 
And the local exchange rate:  2 million Zimbabwe Dollars = 1 US Dollar!!  Unbelievable.

At this time Tessa has no money of her own and has no way to change that.  She is able to receive the loving support of funds to help care for her horses, her family and those around her.  If you feel moved to support Tessa in this way please send an email to:  debra[at]soulitude.com and I’ll assist you in doing so; Tessa and her family would deeply appreciate it!

Awareness is a funny thing.  How things creep into our awareness is funnier still.  Each of us has our own unique way of receiving our awareness.  Some of us through an inner knowing, some of us "feel" it, others "see" it...and still others have a sense of "hearing" their awareness come in.  Many of us receive awareness in all of these ways...perhaps with one being the more predominant.  It's FUN to experiment with you awareness...play with it.  Bring your awareness to your awareness!  HAH!  :0)

My body is like a divining rod or an energetic barometer of sorts!  Seriously.  It can be a bit daunting at times.  Over the years I've made a relationship with this phenomena.  I've come to know it...I've come to recognize it for what it is.  I've come to embrace this quality as a gift, one that I am deeply grateful for.

In the early days of my awareness game I wasn't so clued to the energetic principles I understand now.  I thought surely I must be a hypochondriac because I could feel absolutely fine one moment and the next feel as though I was deathly ill.  Sometimes I realized that it happened when I was around others who were feeling sick, or angry...imagine any intense feeling or emotional situation...and then imagine how that translates to a physical experience in your body...tightness, cramps, upset stomach...even a pain in the neck (!!) or a pain in the a**!  LOL  Seriously, the physical translations in my body were pretty unbelievable.  Now, thanks to much studying with wonderful teachers, earthly and other-worldly, I can now be aware of these "experiences" without fully "taking them on" or manifesting them physically.  For the most part I can "feel" them energetically, have an awareness of them and respond appropriately.

On the physical side of things I've also come to understand that if I'm experiencing something unusual or uncomfortable (maybe even something super comfortable :0) in my body that doesn't seem to directly link or correlate it's time to bring my awareness to that...thank it for it's presence, ask it some important questions, listen for the answers and then send it graciously on its way.

Astrologically speaking my friend Kay has pointed out some very interesting things that support what I've just described.  She says I have 4 earth signs, 5 water signs, 3 fire and -0- air.  Apparently with all those signs in earth and water explain what I already know to be true...that I have the kind of body that feels and fields LOTS!  (It's always good to have confirmative support, isn't it?  :0)

So for me my awareness comes through my body...I feel it.  That comes through with a strong sense of "knowing" and sometimes I feel I hear things as well.  (...interesting, notice how I keyed, "I feel I hear things", obviously I'm big in the 'feeling' category!)  Sometimes I'm lucky enough to "see" something.  In dreams that happens for me and I awake with a cool vision...but mostly even then I preface the experience with "...and it felt like..."

How about you?  Are you aware of how your awareness presents itself?  Do you have a sense of it?

Inspiration comes in all forms, shapes and sizes.  I love it when it comes like a whisper...or a breeze, soft and gentle...and suddenly there's just this awareness that you've been inspired. 

I also love it when there's an amazing chain of events that singularily wouldn't draw much attention but when cosmically choreographed together like an intricate trail of dominoes, each one knocking rhythmically on the next one's door until an unmistakable beam of brilliance is staring you right in the face and you suddenly realize you're SO inspired...that's SOOOO awesome!

Recently I was inspired in such a way by a fellow Zaadster, NMD and his blog post "Being the Change?  Changing the World?".  That post felt so RIGHT ON for me...right in line with my own thinking/feeling.  And as I read it I felt this rhythmic beat start oozing its way into my awareness...and I was like, "hey, what's that...?"  I listened and heard the words of an old musician pal from way back say, "if you can think it, you can do it, you can be it...you gotta be here now"  (Willy Porter "Be Here Now" from Dog Eared Dreams '95)...and then I was submersed in the song...I had to listen to the whole thing...which led to a download of the song on iTunes as I knew that the CD I'd had long ago had since evaporated...good tune, great lyrics...that led me to thinking about our website Earth~Harmony~Home and how we're breathing some fresh energy/air into it...and I suddenly realized there was a new tag line for the site emerging from the experience!  ...and here it is...  "Earth~Harmony~Home  It's Your World...Dream it...BE it!"  Just like that a random, albeit awesome, chain of events stirred and inspired me.  That's just how it is!  I love it!!  :0)  This new tag is so much more fitting for the more focused direction we're headed and so I say, "YAY for clarity...hooray for inspiration!"

Yeah, I know...you may be thinkin' that's inspiration??  And I'm saying, hey...it's the little things!  Sweet.  Pay attention...you may just notice some random dominoes falling in your direction!
