Anyone Can Be Our Teacher

I cannot be arrogant in selecting my teacher. Everyone, everything, every situation has a lesson to learn, a gift to be had. I have read that if I cannot see the gift it is only because I am not there yet.

Change Your Perspective

Change Your Perspective
Sometimes I simply need to look at things differently. Physically looking up is the easiest way for me to do this. It is more difficult for me to feel sad when I am looking at the sky on a sunny day, a starry night, facing the rain or admiring the moon in all her glory.

Lighten Up

If it were up to me, I would not decorate for any holidays. It always seems like to much trouble: there's too much preparation work, actually putting the decorations up, maintaining them throughout the holiday and then taking them down and putting them away. Yet my spirits are lightened by seeing the holiday decorations. If you are lucky like me my family happily takes on these tasks. If you are not I suggest taking a walk, a drive or a ride to see some lights.

Learn From the Caterpillar
We have much to learn from a caterpillar: when the world has become dark and we have no hope, it is not the end it is only the beginning.

(Unofficial) Summer

Can you spare just one minute of sunset and gentle surf sounds to center yourself?


Sunset Moment of Zen

The Urban Dictionary (Urban Dictionary . com) says "zen is this: a total state of focus that incorporates a total togetherness of body and mind. Zen is a way of being."
