Happy Easter, everyone!  For those of you who have children, I hope you arranged for them to have a visit from the Easter Bunny! 



All the best,

Europa

The Easter Bunny from Hell.

[Bianca]

Yes, Europa,

Greatgramma recuperated from 'being run over by a reindeer on Christmas Eve'

just in time to  make sure her little girls got their Easter basket.....

(The bunny certainly was awfully early this year - snuck up on us, didn't he?)



                                                   HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

[Morrison]

Happy Easter to everyone!  Since we're collecting eater bunnies, here, have one of mine:

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE



Cute kids Morrison!

[Desiree]

That is some Easter egg, Qoais, I'll bet that no one would have any trouble finding that in an Easter eggg hunt!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Let us also not forget the true meaning of Easter on this day, too,  friends, which is - Jesus coming to Jerusalem, his betrayal and arrest, being crucified, dead and buried...

...Only to rise on Easter Sunday to give renewed hope to the world.

God Bless,

+Faith+

No matter what kind of Easter you prefer, or how you choose to celebrate it, may each of you have a happy one.

Happy Easter, everyone,

I hope that each of you celebrates with friends, family, or however you wish to celebrate.



Cheers,

Dawn

The Curse of the Morrigan," at: http://www.rainewalker.com/morrigan.htm

The Morrigan is the bringer of justice - but true justice is the evolution of conscience and compassion within each of us, so that we circle back, and understand, at last, that we are all a part of each other, with deep roots in the earth.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

The CURSE OF THE MORRIGAN

You who bring suffering to children:

May you look into the sweetest, most open eyes, and howl the loss of your innocence.

You who ridicule the poor, the grieving, the lost, the fallen, the inarticulate, the wounded children in grown-up bodies:

May you look into each face, and see a mirror. May all your cleverness fall into the abyss of your speechless grief, your secret hunger, may you look into that black hole with no name, and find....the most tender touch in the darkest night, the hand that reaches out. May you take that hand. May you walk all your circles home at last, and coming home, know where you are.

You tree-killers, you wasters:

May you breathe the bitter dust, may you thirst, may you walk hungry in the wastelands, the barren places you have made. And when you cannot walk one step further, may you see at your foot a single blade of grass, green, defiantly green. And may you be remade by it's generosity.

And those who are greedy in a time of famine:
May you be emptied out, may your hearts break not in half, but wide open in a thousand places, and may the waters of the world pour from each crevice, washing you clean.

Those who mistake power for love:

May you know true loneliness. And when you think your loneliness will drive you mad, when you know you cannot bear it one more hour, may a line be cast to you, one shining, light woven strand of the Great Web glistening in the dark. And may you hold on for dear life.

Those passive ones, those ones who force others to shape them, and then complain if it's not to your liking:

May you find yourself in the hard place with your back against the wall. And may you rage, rage until you find your will. And may you learn to shape yourself.

And you who delight in exploiting others, imagining that you are better than they are:

May you wake up in a strange land as naked as the day you were born and thrice as raw. May you look into the eyes of any other soul, in your radiant need and terrible vulnerability. May you know yourSelf. And may you be blessed by that communion.

And may you love well, thrice and thrice and thrice, and again and again and again:
May you find your face before you were born.

And may you drink from deep, deep waters.

Excellent post, Rockessence.

Never was a world so in need of spring.

Happy Easter, everyone,

I hope that each of you celebrates with friends, family, or however you wish to celebrate. Dawn

DEAR..............DAWN,I at my Witts end,


   I don't know where to post this message.

I live in a historic towncenter in a small house 40 square 2m
 costing 200.000 dollars on mortgage
my
new neighbours just bought theirs and complained afterwards
that my fence is crooked so that they can't re-sell in the future.


When they look at the Fence,   I can't paint it because it is THEIR fence,
but when it is crooked it  it is suddenly supposed to be MY fence, these
new Neighbours accuse me no just mentoned that I did not held
 a housewarming party nor postcard to discuss the leaning fence

They ignored that I am a tongue-tied internet recluse
and transferred their crooked fence complaint to the
authorities who treatened to send the Urban search
and rescue team to turn my home inside -out and throw-away
 all my ( architectural-)Study text-Books books like they
 did with the last 3 Neighbour's complaints

in 2001, 2003, 2006 earch time I had to restore the Leaning Fence
that is dammaged without recompensation now I WANT
A STONE FENCE BUT THAT COSTS too much the NEW-neighbours say
Why is it that New neigbours have to play down the sitting ones?
As-if-these sitting ( pensioned-)neighbours have lived wrongly all their domestic life

I will be rehoused without my property that is to be burned,incinerated
I will be placed a a social " Mis-Fitt",  in the Local Hospital psychiatric Ward
and not able to attend at this Forum/Website nor to the Intern.
Atlantis-Conference of Heliotropos in ATHENS. on Nov.10

I cannot legally defend myself because a neighbour's complaint
 is an order to act, the Neighbours now profess their innocense
I mean that they leapted before they looked they did not fathom
that their innercent complaint would result in an AVALANCE
of social and city council involvement because after living here
 for 25 years in Delft Holland,  my plumbing electricity and Gas
connections have to be renewed neccesetating me to evacuating
the house which wouldn't have happened before the silly
new neighbour's complaint So now the system caught hold
of me and discards me, regardless.

Maybe you can tell the other Forummembers I cannot reach them all
from the Psychiatric Ward here !

Sincerely  " BlueHue "

OH Blue, that really SUCKS !!!  I am so sorry for your predicament...  I hope that something very positive is the result of all this.
