Dune Beauty--What a Gift

      Life has its textures--beautiful sand dunes, and its high mountain ranges; the easy times can be boring the mountainous ones....well, that's another story. Just remember where you are now is where you are now. Enjoy it even if the future looms ahead of you. There is only the present moment where life begins and ends, everything else is a gift.

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~
