“I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen, heard, understood, and touched by them. The greatest gift I can give is to see, hear, understand, and touch another person.”

Many A Calm River

you are the entire ocean in a drop.”

The Wild Ones
What is it about living with the wild ones?
I only know that it is necessary.
A Richness
“The cost of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it”~ Henry David Thoreau
Wanting and needing less. Understanding the true cost of things as they relate to expenditure of life force and time. These are pursuits of this stage of the journey in my life.
Being immersed completely in the sounds of the ocean,
and the forest.
Being aware of the raven’s call.
Observing the wild ones with an honoring.
Noticing the nuances of spring’s unfolding.
Feeling the energy of life all around.
Being immersed and aware of life. Is enough. Is “free”. Is freeing.
These are the riches that enhance, build up, and do not deplete your resources.
Yes, there is a richness.
A deep and satisfying wealth of experiences in these gifts.
Your Life on Fire
“Set your life on fire.
Seek those who fan your flames.”
-Rumi
Every Flower
“Tis my faith that every flower,
Enjoys the air it breathes.”-William Wordsworth
The Stillness & Sanctuary Within You
“Within you is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and by yourself.”
-Hermann Hesse
“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
-Joseph Campbell
“While Eeyore frets …
… and Piglet hesitates
… and Rabbit calculates
… and Owl pontificates
…Pooh just is.”-The Tao of Pooh
Time in the forest, that supreme place of sanctuary and stillness, is a way of beauty and of finding the stillness and sanctuary within yourself…
a place to just be…
Be who you are.
An Equinox, An Eclipse and A New Moon
Nature’s trifecta embraces us today with possibility, power and presence.
As each day is, it is a time to be reborn. To find center. To reach new depths. To connect. To be completely and utterly our unique selves.
This day is a harbinger of the richness of the season to come.
May you blossom and grow like this new Spring, bursting forth on all levels and in every dimension. May you see beauty and know your own.
P.S. The last solar eclipse during a March Equinox was in 1681, so this is a big one!!
A River Runs Through It
Eventually, all things merge into one and a river runs through it.
