BEAUTY OF A WOMAN

“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.”

Animism

Animism (from Latin anima, “breath, spirit, life”) is the observation that objects, places and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism often includes “an idea of pervading life and will in nature”, a belief that natural objects other than humans have souls.
The animistic perspective is so widely held and inherent to most indigenous peoples that they often do not even have a word in their languages that corresponds to “animism” or even “religion.
Animism encompasses the beliefs that all material phenomena have agency, that there exists no hard and fast distinction between the spiritual and physical (or material) world and that soul or spirit or sentience exists not only in humans, but also in other animals, plants, rocks, geographic features such as mountains or rivers or other entities of the natural environment: water sprites, vegetation deities, tree sprites, etc..

BE THOUGHTFUL ON ALL HALLOWS EVE
by Lawrence R. Spencer An apparition in the night! A lonely ghost floats on the stairs she shines in luminescent light disembodied, though she's still here. Not living in the flesh on Earth she may be free to wait, or roam. Yet, she seldom feels much mirth because she's mostly left alone. Most people will not see her there, though she's a Spirit, will feelings tender, they don't perceive her in the air: they don't know how, or can't remember. Yet, people are afraid of ghosts! We've been told we must avoid the friends we've lost, yet loved the most who linger in the spatial void. Beware! Don't run and hide in fear! Look all about! They're still around! Beloved old friends may still be near... if you listen, they'll make a sound. Be thoughtful on All Hallows Eve: befriend a Spirit on the stairs. Someday you and I may be a lonely ghost who needs some care.
