Chained

 

   A chain can be gold, silver, platinum, lead emotional and psychological. But a chain is still a chain until the letting go of thoughts and habits that keep us bound in dualistic thinking and living is recognized.

New Beginnings

             The change that changes everything! A new Beginning.

Einstein said, “No problem can be solved by the same consciousness that caused it.”

Attraction

What treasures nature holds

for those who take the time to look.

What treasures each moment holds

for those who make the time to notice.

What treasures each life holds

for those who find attractions
in the moment
and live


 

                    
       



                                

Visual Impact

   It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest.  It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living

Orange Stillness

       "If you cannot fine joy in peace in these very moments of stillness, then the future itself will only flow by as a river flows by, you will not be able to hold it back, you will be incapable of living the future when it has become present. Joy and peace are the joy and peace possible in this very hour of stillness. If you cannot find it here, you won't find it anywhere. Don't chase after your thoughts as a shadow follows its object. Don't run after your thoughts. Find joy and peace in this very moment. This is your own time. This spot where you are is your own spot. It is on this very spot and in this very moment that you can become enlightened. You don't have to sit beneath a special tree in a distant land.  Practice the stillness within in and in all things, and you will begin to know a profound and renewing delight.
         ~The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh~

Breathe

Listen, she whispers:
between the out breath
and the in
there is a space.
Meet me there,
and I will bring you peace.
