When The World Is Too Much With Us
“When the world is too much for us, and we can’t hear life’s music, there is always someplace we can go to hear it again. For each of us, as our physical lives move towards the ultimate letting go, it is uniquely different.
I am wondering how you are feeling, moving and thinking at this stage of your life?”
Elder Muse/Day 31: Being The Spark
“This morning the video that you will find below inspired me to complete this series of Elder Muse postings on “Being the Spark”. Being the spark no matter what age you are.
I believe that as elders we have decades of experiences and wisdom to become the spark that could potentially ignite something as Payton McGriff did with SHE (Style Her Empowered).”
Elder Muse/Day 29: How Are You, Really?
“When something is out of balance whether in our bodies/minds/emotions, social injustice, or in our environment, the first remedies or solutions that come to mind are to treat the symptoms or to ignore it all together hoping it will simply go away…”
Elder Muse/Day 28: The Miracle of Mindfulness
“Mindfulness in the breadth of its practice could be one of the most important tools we have for the art of being peace in a chaotic world. Attention to the present moment as a way of life – attentive living – shows us our own ungrounded perceptions and old patterns of being that harm self and others. Then there is the opportunity to change them.”
Elder Muse/Day 25: The Importance of Feeling Seen
“What if every time we went out into the world we saw everyone we came in contact with, even passing by, as an opportunity to connect?

Elder Muse/Day 24: Climate Surprise -Do We Really Know?
“When it comes down to it there is always a multitude of possibilities operating. As well as the mystery of just how this beloved planet of ours has sustained itself over millions of years with massive climate changes occurring. We think we know, make assumptions, or even give opinions based on the scientific method yet do we really “know”?”
Elder Muse/Day 23: Aging Beauty
“This post is dedicated to women especially. A reminder that the essence of who we are shines even more brightly once “cultural beauty standards” are surrendered and released and we accept another kind of beauty. One that is so much more about who we have become and are becoming.”
Elder Muse/Day 22: Coming To Our Senses
“Nature constantly reminds us how vulnerable and fragile humans are in the face of changing weather patterns often wiping away our efforts to encroach upon the wild. A highly wise force to bring us back to taking care of and respecting what gives us life.”
Elder Muse/Day 21: The Light of the Universe
“”You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all your experience to the highest advantage of others.”Buckminister Fuller
Elder Muse/Day 20:Paying Attention
“The adolescent bear scampered down the tree and broke into a run down the road with the doggie I am caring for running as fast as she could after it. She gave it a good doggie try but black bears can run up to 35 MPH so there was no doubt who would win the race…”
