Unique Times

Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life

Ollie and Harry Chillin….Harry is still with us and his resilence is astounding.

April showers bring May flowers and the fruit of our labor burst open with color as we move into Spring. 

Spring, a time for renewal and opening to what is, not what was.  Giving thanks for all we have, not what we have not.  

Rebirthing of our human condition is vital to infuse hope into our spirits.  The truth is, we are perfect the way we are, even when we feel otherwise.  Accepting ourselves where we are is vital to expansion and growth. 

Life is movement, and it is this dance that allows for freedom of our physical bodies and minds.

Experiencing all facets of who we are and who were are not, allows what we actually need for transformation.  

It’s not arriving at a perfect spot but rather accepting the spot we are in no matter where we are, where we’ve been and what we are walking into. It defies religion but honors our own personal experience of what it means to be truly human and supernatural at the same time. There is not one or the other.  

Some days we shine like a rainbow, others a storm cloud. Riding the rainbow and waves is the way of life.  Moving is important in opening our souls and nature is a gift that allows us to know truth.  When we do that, we naturally move in tune with our body and things change in ways we couldn’t project or control.  

Our lives are a microcosm of how we treat ourselves.  So next time you find yourself fighting and resisting what is, just be.

Get out in nature, take a deep breath.  Your body will tell you what you need next, if you’re kind and listen to it’s inner yearnings.  

Love yourself where you are, wherever you find yourself.  Plant, Bloom, Grow.  Be kind to you and let the grace of God hold you!

Thanks for tuning in and today and have a wonderful Wednesday and holiday however you celebrate. With special thanks to my friend Kumar Harsh for the inspiration to video my poem. I often share things I write with him and when I shared this one he said; Wow, this was such an amazing read Cindy. I felt so warm, it was like you were here and talking to me. If you haven’t read his poetry or new book, definitely by a copy on Amazon.

It is with a heavy heart for me and all of us to say farwell to Sue Vincent who I was only lucky enough to know through all of you sharing her poetry and contributions, towards the end of her life. She picked a wonderful time in spring moving into Easter to make her transition. I appreciated her kind comments and wisdom in our sharing and how she embraced her life the same way she embraced her death, and me as a new follower. One of my favorite comments she wrote to someone was; I’m sorry I won’t be handling that anymore, I’m busy dying right now, please check in with (name forgotten). It was such an example of how I want to embrace my last days on earth. Her writing was beautiful, wise, poetic with such jewels that take your breath away and her book Midnight Haiku was just published and made it to the New York Times Best sellar list. I joked with her and said “we’re always famous after we die” and she said something very funny back which I can’t recall now. She also has many other published books if you search Amazon. If you don’t know her please go to her site and follow it as I believe it will be perserved. She will be a guiding star for all of us in days to come as she takes her place as one of our writing angels. Thank you Diana, Marsha and The Carrot Ranch for the introduction.


May the grace of God hold and house your spirit today and always.

Please remember to like (if you do of course), comment and or share.

Blessings of Love,

💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

Live with joy and ring a bell ,
Go to heaven after watching hell ,
With God you’ve  risen ,
After you tripped and  nearly  fell ,
You would rise and really swell ,
All is good and truly well ,
Nothing to scare and you can tell ,
Sing for peace  and in joy  dwell …

Dear Cindy and Pooja,

I concur with Pooja here. Thank you, Cindy, for the lovely messages in the first post of the new month. Please kindly send my best regards to Ollie and Harry.

Since we have now made it to a new month, I would like to wish you a Very Happy April with all the April Love that I have gathered in a special post entitled “🦅 SoundEagle in April Love and Dove, Art and Heart, Game and Puzzle, Music and Video 🕊💌💘” published at http://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/soundeagle-in-april-love-and-dove-art-and-heart-game-and-puzzle-music-and-video/

There is the song there called “April Love”, which had always been one of my late mother’s favourites, and I had played in on the organ numerous times for her.

May both of you find the new month and what it will usher into our lives much to your liking and satisfaction!

May both of you find the new Springtime very much to your liking and highly conducive to your writing, reading, thinking and blogging whatever musical topics that take your aesthetic and intellectual fancy!

Happy April!

You can simply copy and paste your previous comment and perhaps add more if you have something extra to say. Thank you in anticipation.

Dear Cindy,

I hope that you do realize that the last time you actually made a comment at my blog was more than four months ago at 2020/11/27.

And during these four months, I have made about twelve comments on your blog.

SoundEagle 🦅ೋღஜஇ
Reply to  Cindy Georgakas

Dear Cindy,

First of all, many of my commenters do not just visit and comment on my new posts; they also visit, read, like and comment on old posts. I also often do the same by visiting, reading, liking and/or commenting on some bloggers’ old posts, not just waiting for their new posts to appear. Therefore, your reasoning that you have not commented because there has not been any new post(s) to comment on is very problematic.

This is hardly a “tit for tat” at all as you put it. If it had been indeed a “tit for tat”, I would not have continued to come to your blog and submit numerous comments, given that you have not commented at all for more than four months, during which I did publish at least one new post and also at least one or two new pages, such as the User Guide at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/about/user-guide/

Therefore, your statement that you “NEVER see a new post” is definitely untrue.

Also, as indicated clearly in the said User Guide and also in my “About” page, I regularly extend, improve and update existing posts and pages. So, should you bother to visit posts and pages that you have not visited before, let alone those that you have visited before, you will always find plenty of fresh things and ideas to read, like and comment on.

Moreover, all along, I have visited, read, liked and commented on your blog, and I have observed that you have had the time to not just reply to your commenters on your blog but also comment copiously on other people’s blogs, where I have also read and liked many of your comments.

And once again, I have been very supportive of you by submitting another substantial comment right here on your blog.

May you have a lovely Easter weekend!

Dear Cindy,

I look forward to your visiting and commenting on some of my blog posts and pages so that I may learn about your perspectives and insights in any of my posts and pages that you consider to be thought-provoking, intellectually stimulating and/or aesthetically satisfying.

For best viewing, you should use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the rich multimedia contents available for heightening your multisensory enjoyment at my blog, which could be too powerful and feature-rich for iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices to handle properly or adequately.

Since my blog contains advanced styling and multimedia components plus animations, it is highly recommended to read my posts and pages directly in my blog so that you will be able to see and experience all of the refined and glorious details. Hence, it is prudent to refrain from viewing my blog in the WordPress Reader, which tends to ignore or strip away some styling and formatting components, and also fails to display animations, all of which are aplenty in my posts and pages, which will look very different and even improper or amiss in the WordPress Reader.

Therefore, do NOT use the WordPress Reader to navigate my blog. To look for any content, always visit the “Content Listing” directly at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/about/contents/

Happy reading and Happy April!

Dear Cindy,

If you indeed treasure SoundEagle’s friendship and what SoundEagle’s website can offer you, then one would hope that you will consistently look into what it is that has caused certain thing(s) to happen and solve it promptly, and even enlist the help of some friend(s) and/or expert(s). There are numerous well-produced contents awaiting to surprise and entertain you in various posts and pages. In fact, you don’t have to take my word for it about the quality of my posts and pages, for you can see and read those numerous comments that others have submitted to my main blog. Even so, I am still particularly interested to learn about your perspectives and insights regarding any of my posts and pages that you consider to be thought-provoking, intellectually stimulating and/or aesthetically satisfying, as I regard you highly in your sensitivity and humanity.

Yours sincerely,
ჱܓSoundEagle🦅

Dear Cindy,

Furthermore, I would like to add that your reasoning that you “find [my] site very difficult to access” is also highly problematic because my site has many features that make it much easier for visitors to assess and/or search for posts and pages.

One of these features is the “Content Listing” page, which is conveniently accessible in four ways via two menus and two widgets.

This “Content Listing” provides you a quick way to preview all of the posts and pages at a glance and access any of them with a single click.

For your convenience, you can access the “Content Listing” at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/about/contents/

Wow Cindy. This speaks at so many levels with me and I believe everyone who might feel the same. Renewal is the necessary boon that we sometimes may need. Renewal from a mundane life or something that doesn’t excite our hearts. Your video is so so beautiful. Loved the entire scenery and that how peacefully harry lied in your lap and would occasionally look at your face to see what was happening.
I am extremely sorry to hear about the loss. No words can ever justify what she meant to you and she radiated so much more than just her physical presence. May she find peace and tranquility.

I knew you would be a natural, so calm and peaceful even when the dog wanted to recite your words. Beautiful by the way, I especially liked these lines:

“It’s not arriving at a perfect spot but rather accepting the spot we are in no matter where we are, where we’ve been and what we are walking into. It defies religion but honors our own personal experience of what it means to be truly human and supernatural at the same time. There is not one or the other.”

This is a loving and beautiful poem and also I am sorry about your friend that has left this world and is on to the next. Made it to the New York best sellers list. It truly is sad that so many people aren’t recognized for their brilliance until they leave this world. However, who will be looking back not mean I will be flying forward into my next life. That is so wonderful for her family.

Lovely post, my friend not so far away. xoxoxo Joni

Cindy, this was lovely. Thank you for sharing the video. It looks beautiful there and the poem is lovely. I love how you include people. Thank you for the mention. I feel so badly that I couldn’t have done or said more to Sue. She was a lovely person. I think I get sadder by what I didn’t do to expand the friendship when I could. I wasted so much time. But I will take life as I find it and live each moment, as you say. Give the queen of the world a big hug for me. My queen is still in bed. I need to go say good morning to my hubby. I haven’t even said hi yet, just rushed in here to fix the tag on my post before it went live almost an hour ago! YIKES! Have a wonderful week, Cindy. Lots of love.

I hear you. Cindy is going to go nuts, I’m afraid. Vince cleans their litter box at least three or four times a day. She’s not used to that. They want to eat between 3:30 and 4:30, and that’s when I feed them a bite before I go to bed at 12:00-1:00. If we leave food out for them, Nutters eats too much and throws it up. I comb them every day because Nutters grooms long-haired Moji and gets hairballs. Indoor cats are a LOT of work! 🙂
