“I hope for youthe fires of transformationthat burns away the dross of egoleaving oneness, grace, and light.
That you may breathe the winds of beingWith wings of an eagle to soarSowing life into each otheropening hearts and doors
For you are a spring of heavenA breeze in the desert of lifeGiving hope to the hopeless and brokenBringing grace, and peace, and light.”-Bob Holmes, “Ode to a Mystic”
“It only takes a reminder to breathe,
a moment to be still, and just like that,
something in me settles, softens, makes
space for imperfection. The harsh voice
of judgment drops to a whisper and I
remember again that life isn’t a relay
race; that we will all cross the finish
line; that waking up to life is what we
were born for. As many times as I
forget, catch myself charging forward
without even knowing where I’m going,
that many times I can make the choice
to stop, to breathe, and be, and walk
slowly into the mystery.”-Danna Faulds
“Awake my dear.
Be kind
to your sleeping heart.
Take it out
into the vast fields of Light
and let it breathe.”
-Hafiz
“If you ever find yourself empty from something you cannot know or name, find a stretch of ocean, a field, or mountainside, or even clouds or trees. Because there are 1,000 simple ways to fill your tired soul so you can remember how to be, how to see, and most importantly, how to breathe.”
-Victoria Erickson
“How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains.”
-John Muir

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
-Marcus Aurelius
“I like to walk alone on country paths,
rice plants and wild grasses on both sides,
putting each foot down on the earth
in mindfulness, knowing
that I walk on the wondrous earth.
In such moments, existence is a miraculous
and mysterious reality.People usually consider walking on water
or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle
is not to walk either on water or in thin air,
but to walk on earth.
Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don’t even recognize:
a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves,
the black, curious eyes of a child–
our own two eyes.
All is a miracle.”~ Thich Nhat Hanh
“How to stop time: kiss.
How to travel in time: read.
How to escape time: music.
How to feel time: write.
How to release time: breathe.”

Ah, yes just breathe…. and all time and eternity are yours.
How to be absorbed by time – stay in the moment, and notice everything. Be there with and in time, as one moment moves to another….
