Elysium


Elysium....

A synonym for heaven or paradise.  Something  each of us defines for ourselves.  In the lyrics of Shelter From the Storm Bob Dylan said, "try imagining a place  that's  safe and warm".   If you find that place  on  earth, to me ......... that's Elysium.

Hello......I'm Kristin.   Better known as Angel` from #Shangrila on Starchat.Net.

Elysium consists of pictures, poems, quotes, and music that represent people or ideas that have touched my heart or my life.....good and bad;  some lessons learned and a few not quite completed.  Enjoy your visit and I hope you run across something that will make you think a little.


"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength... They shall mount up with wings..."

                                  - Isaiah 40:31




Elysium News:

Hmmm...let's see....

** Elysium has MOVED!  Please update your bookmarks!

I've added the music because of your requests,  only on this page though.  If you would like to see it added to other pages, please let me know.

I've added more links/causes, whatever you would like to call them, to this page (no.. you can't call them junk!).  I know it is terribly slow to load but they I feel they are worth having on the first page, well a couple are just fun things but still......  Hopefully by the time you read down they will be done?? *g*

"You give to the world your greatest gift
when you're being yourself"


-Deepak Chopra -




Man is made by his belief.
As he believes, so he is.

- Bhagavad Gita (c. B.C. 400)

 



** Comes the Dawn - 
When I  read this poem by Veronica A. Shorffstall the first thing I thought was every single/divorced woman must read this...then I thought...no...every woman...  every person, needs to understand that each of us is responsible for our own happiness. No one else.

All these lessons she speaks of I had realized and understood before I came across her words.  What it took me years of experiencing life to learn, Veronica has summarized in one short poem. 

And still, though I have been there...in every situation and know these lessons to be true, recalling them and remembering to live them
is something else again.

She says " with every good-bye, you learn...."  and for me, finding .... and  understanding, that lesson in good-bye, then believing in my own endurance and self-worth is sometimes the hardest part.   

There have been so many good-byes.... for us all.

Please read ........ Comes the Dawn


 
"You alone are the judge of your worth, and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks ."

- Deepak Chopra -

 



"Memories of shame, guilt, rejection, hatred, resentment, and other unloving feelings cannot be converted to love. These images are what they are. Accept them and move to a higher sense of Self,
which is unconnected with memory.
"

-Deepak Chopra ( The Way Of The Wizard )

A Prayer For the Day:

Dear Lord,
So far today, God, I've done alright.
I haven't gossiped, haven't been greedy, grumpy,nasty, selfish or over indulgent.
I'm very thankful for that.
But, in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed.  From then on, I'm going to need a lot more help.  ....Amen
- author unknown

 

"Sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell serve to reinforce the same message: Things are what they seem.

According to this reality, the Earth is flat, the ground beneath your feet is stationary, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, all because it seems that way to the senses. "

- Deepak Chopra


"I've learned that the prayer
I say most often is,"Lord, please keep your arm
around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth."

An Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand



Thank you for visiting and please come back soon......*smile*
