“Love is the only reality, and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.”
-Rabindranath Tagore
These words are sweet music to my heart and ears this radiant morning.
Love will always prevail.

The Most Beautiful Place on Earth
“This is the most beautiful place on earth.
There are many such places. Every man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary.”-Edward Abbey
This is the most beautiful place on earth. These words by Edward Abbey come to mind this morning, this perfect morning, at home. “There are many such places”. And there are. I have been away from home for ten days and have seen many of these most beautiful places – Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Craters of the Moon, The Nez Perce Trail, Capital Reef… Landscapes so varied and divine as to be overwhelming. Wondrous.
But no less wondrous are the home woods… deep forests and tall trees, 
raven conversations, 
deer family 
visits, chipmunks, 
dandelions, luxuriant green carpets, stone song, bees buzzing, one perfect sky-blue butterfly, tiny wild violets, the sunlight on the new maple leaves…
Yes, there are wonders everywhere. Beauty. Connection. Spirit.
Home holds me. The most beautiful place on earth.
As Above So Below
Winter’s way has laid the outside world bare. The bareness of winter, the quiet serenity, and the snow blanket, can lay bare our inner world too – if we let it.
As above so below.
An unsealed inner universe is open for marvelous reflection and deepening. So much going on while the world sleeps.
Bare, defined, disclosed, discovered, naked, resolved, solved, uncovered, unprotected, clear, debunked, denuded, divulged, exhibited, manifest, open, peeled, revealed, shown, stripped, unmasked, unsealed, unveiled, apparent, brought to light, evident, dug up, on view, unconcealed, unhidden, unsheltered…
“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
-Joseph Campbell
“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
-Joseph Campbell
Are we brave enough to lay bare our souls?
To be authentic, real and raw?
To be open?
