It’s Not Too Late – Feeling Deeply
“Nature has always been, and always will be, a source of peace, tranquility, beauty, awe and sanctuary for me. Having always been connected since a child, when I come upon devastation perpetrated by humans I am wild with grief and a depth of sadness that is felt in the core of my being. What will my sons and grandchildren inherit after I have passed from this embodied life?
Seeing Things Differently – Part 2
:Had a spell been cast over her? A veil dropped over her so that nothing was very clear. But remember reader she was not aware of how much she was not seeing. Perhaps none of us really are…..”
Seeing Things Differently – Part 1
“We come into this world to be astounded. By the magic, mystery, beauty and pure miracle of our being here. Yet that very purpose is often disrupted by the every day ups and downs of life as a human being. Let’s face it, being human can be a struggle and a rough ride…..”
LISTENING….
“The web of connection on this amazing planet we live on has always been there, but perhaps not as much in our awareness as now with the technology we presently possess. Within seconds we can know what is happening on the other side of the world. Granted this can often be a mixed blessing.
But what is apparent more and more is that we are all one “family” connected by the same human needs as well as intimately connected with all other life in nature and the cosmos.”
An Openness For Mystery
“How many unseen mysteries are out of our direct perception? I don’t know about you but rainbows are always magical to me and make me smile every single time. Somewhere over the rainbow….and pots of gold at the end of them – but there is actually no end!”
Circles of Motion
“When reaching the elder stage of life many of us realize with acute awareness that each morning that we wake up to an in breath/out breath, and open our eyes…. it is a gift.
What if the greatest act of creativity comes in this final stage of life. Knowing that how we spend our days matters more than it ever has.”
Breathe With Life
A necessary ingredient in the Universe is chaos. It can sweep you and the life you have so carefully constructed away. And it is also the place from which all things start anew.
Knowing that you can plan for something your whole life and still get taken by surprise.
BREATHE…
The Heart’s Yearning
“Perhaps it is the yearning of the heart that draws us to notice the ordinary beauty all around us. To not only notice but to allow it to expand our perception of life in the moment by opening to see beyond the narrow confines of our present cultural narrative and domesticated survival.
In The Marrow of Our Bones
“How often are we challenged by distraction missing the moments that are the very essence of life unfolding?
I pose that question to live within, not to answer. The shifts and changes continue in spite of our compelling need to control. That is the only part of this elder journey we can be certain of. “
Sunrise
“Starting the day with vision that perceives beauty seems to soften and enhance, at the same time, the way this day will unfold. A sense of possibility and opportunity to walk with eyes and heart wide open into the day.”
