The simplicity of time past!

A Special Place

"To awaken means to awaken out of the self-talk in the head because the self-talk is a form of hypnosis - self hypnosis." ~ Eckhart Tolle~

Psalm 46:10 says it all!

Welcoming All Guests

The Guest House

By Rumi

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture, still treat each 

guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out for some

new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing

and invite them in.

Mindfullness "Next time" or Now

         The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.
                                                                   ~Thich Nhat Hanh~

Down The Country Road Again

Down A Country Road

Be the sunflower

                             always following the "Son".

A Garden Created by God

                                The best remedy for someone lonely, afraid or unhappy is to go somewhere that is quiet alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel all is as it should be, and that God wishes to see his  people admist the simple beauty of nature.

Nature's Splendor

      Thoughts are like clouds appearing and disappearing carrying shapes and images that we create in our mind. What the mind creates is only an illusion like a movie on a screen. Experiences come and experiences go,thougths come and thoughts go same with emotions. The one remaining reality behind these thoughts and images is the simple awareness which knows them all. Spiritual practices teach us to to shift attention toward the screen on which the movie is been watched.
