It’s been great. It’s been a great journey. May not be over yet. That night is 24 years, after all. But yes, it’s been fabulous.—Alex Kingston

Love River Song....Melody Pond.....

Being able to endure something does not equal an obligation to withstand it.

[beautytruthandstrangeness]

Ooh. 

That’s a new thought.

[jumpingjacktrash]

Look at you pair. It’s always you and her, isn’t it, long after the rest of us have gone. A boy and his box, off to see the universe

“And it takes a lifetime to get close to you. Another lifetime to hold your hand. And then another to make you look at my eyes. So it’s ok. I’m patient. Take as many lifetimes as you need. You know where to find me.”

Ten Years of Ten (and Tentoo!) → Journey’s End (July 5, 2008)

“Now then, you lot. Sarah, hold that down. Mickey, you hold that. Because you know why this TARDIS always is always rattling about the place? Rose? That, there. It’s designed to have six pilots, and I have to do it single handed. Martha, keep that level. But not any more. Jack, there you go. Steady that. Now we can fly this thing- no, Jackie, no, no, not you, don’t touch anything, just… stand back.-like it’s meant to be flown. We’ve got the Torchwood Rift looped around the TARDIS by Mister Smith, and we’re going to fly Planet Earth back home. Right then. Off we go.”

I just completed this DNA Activation Meditation. When I was done, I asked the Three to comment. Here is what they had to say…

t: Will you tell me about DNA and the importance of activation? 

the Three: Young one, there are so many things your kind and kindred do not understand. DNA is only partly what your white-coated ones choose to believe. There is magic locked deep within each of you. It is the wisdom of the gods. It is in every One. 

You are each coded in your own way and it is your task to understand the signs that you may unlock these (k)odes, and know your selves. The symbols you use to describe them shall confuse you, for these symbols are anchored in your world and are not infused with the mysteries you seek. Look to the old languages, and to the messages from the sky.

As your unfolding begins, you will see many, many things that can not be called by words. Do not attempt to describe them this way. To share this knowledge truly, you must connect outside yourselves. You must gather in the ethers. You must return to your original form and share your joy in pictures.

There are patterns that weave through the fabric of your reality, that only some shall see. These grids are the link from All to the One. Traverse upon them gently, for every movement sends ripples through the All. 

Your DNA is the stuff of stardust and universes. Activation is the process of awakening and shall not happen all at once, or to every One in the same way. You each have your journeys to unfold, and your own sweet song to sing upon the earth. Become the music that lives inside you. This is the clearest way. 

-the Three

You’ve been hidden down here too long. Spending so much time with the alien stuff, you’ve lost what it means to be human.
