UNION

Its been a little while since I have written on my blog.  I admit I have felt a little guilty and we all know guilt is a no win fight with oneself.   This being said I will forgive myself for being slack.   Priorities change however consistency is crucial, so I will take a good deep look into the reason for my writers block.

As far as my work and inspired output of same, I feel better than ever.   There has been an merging quality of all aspects of my life.   This was not out of the aforementioned guilt but with one simple absorption in the understanding of the word experience.    I am experiencing the life I wish to live... not conceptualizing and grasping at it.   The proverbial brass ring, or is it a gold or platinum ring these days?

Today I would like to share the word Union.

If we can see the union of all things there is no longer any separation of things.  Perhaps in the beginning we must be aware of differences but once we know them it is easy to accept them and find a way to bring a union to any opposite polar in the realm of our experience.

I have been experimenting with this in my Spa products.

This past week I found a way to bring union to some interesting oil blends by extracting alive scents from flowers as absolutes dispersed into raw blends.   What is so amazing is the subtleness of the aromas.    What came to me is that all unions are different not only with people but in nature too.   The pungent strength of the flowers was tamed by the very same nature from whence they came (the garden) into the more subtle nature of another living substance (found in the garden also).

Isn't it wonderful how different we all are?.   A gregarious person can fall for a very introverted person if they can allow the other to be who they are and vice versa.

So for me my work always reminds me of something about myself and others.

Have a beautiful day.

This weeks exotic blend is raw oil of gardenia, blended with coconut oil and other oils with a hint of Ylang Ylang.  Ylang Ylang is an aphrodisiac used on the marital bed in Thailand and other Asian countries.
