Enjoys the air it breathes.”-William Wordsworth

Breath of Life
“Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life.
Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe, breathe out and bring the cosmos back inside.
Next, breathe up all fecundity and vibrancy of the earth.
Finally, blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth with your own, becoming the Breath of Life itself”
-Morithei Ueshiba
The Ultimate Sophistication
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”~ Leonardo da Vinci
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!!
Truth & Beauty
“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.”
~ Albert Einstein
Persevere
“Find a bit of beauty in the world today.
Share it.
If you can’t find it,
create it.
Some days this may be hard to do.
Persevere.”
-Lisa Bonchek Adams
Do You Ever Get the Feeling?
“Do You Ever Get The Feeling…?
Do you ever get the feeling
that you live on the threshold
of pure possibility?
That you are life itself,
and the power that creates galaxies
moves through you?
And you are that power?
And every thought, every sensation,
every feeling, however intense,
however uncomfortable, however fragile,
is itself an expression of the same power?
That no thought nor sensation is against you?
That you are vast enough to hold it all?
That you are not a person becoming conscious,
nor a seeker seeking that which seekers seek,
but consciousness itself pretending to be
a person becoming conscious,
seeking itself and delighting in the seeking?That the wave cannot be divided from the ocean?
That you are the destination and the origin?
That love is closer than the next breath?
And infinite peace is your nature and birthright?Do you ever get the feeling
that you live on the threshold
of pure possibility?
And all the wonders of the universe
are already yours?”– Jeff Foster
Live The Questions
“Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything.”
“Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
-R. Maria Rilke
A River Runs Through It
Eventually, all things merge into one and a river runs through it.
-Norman Maclean
