a simple moment
i was blessed today with a simple moment shared with an elderly gentleman at a crowded bus stop, we both smiled when a little bird landed,seeking shelter from the rain,smiling we caught each other watching the bird, the connectedness we all share was tangible then, its all these small moments that make life. i am grateful.
making connections
beauty
…beauty,difficult to define, its circumstances depend upon the eye that sees it, the song that sings it, the hands that touch it, the senses that smell it…the soul that holds it…as a gift
the journey
my whole life is a journey, not to a far off, distant place, rather a journey into myself to the sacred space we all share,stripping away illusion and overcoming ego
loneliness…
loneliness, a tricky feeling, you can feel alone within a crowd of people or an empty room
an illusion only, you are not alone, you are connected and part of infinity, a valuable,integral piece of the universe
find yourself and enjoy your company,most of us spend alot of time feeling lonely but we are never alone,look inside,look outside,there is more than we could imagine…
…a day gifted…
i live in the city,my soul belongs out in the wilderness. although i see beauty everywhere,when i am out in the forest i can feel myself expanding and my breath and heart beat become in sync. today was a gift that i shared with vinnie and our two best friends,fixit and lucy, it was fun to climb and hike on the rocks again, the sun was warm and you could smell the forest floor, earthy but green and good, thank you creator for all. 
grace is found …
grace is found in the simplest moments…
spring cleaning
…and so…in keeping with spring and all, i have vowed to be more consistent with my yoga practice, which i really need to do, what with all the aging i seem to be doing. This poor old body needs all the stretching and flexibility it can get,and a good spring cleaning of the soul wouldn’t come amiss. I will work on mindfulness and loving kindness, i shall grow beautiful flowers and vegetables and soulful relationships. I will start each day new with gratitude in my heart.
Mother earth
a wonderful quote by an inspiring teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, “you carry Mother earth within you,she is not outside of you,she is more than your environment”
to embrace and celebrate nature is the ‘highest form of prayer’,much like Rumi,”there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground’.
during this season of Lent,i have wanted to give up something,which would also honor my grandmother,but instead of giving something up i shall offer something up,i shall find loving,nurturing ways to “kneel and kiss the ground” everyday,metta to all
.
soulful love
“whatever our souls are made of,his and mine are the same” Wuthering Heights.
blessed are the people who find each other and allow each other the time and space to find themselves…
hope
in solitary beauty allow yourself to unfold and grow, use your gifts,live your dreams,time is an illusion,there is only now, this moment, love it…
