New Year's Resolution

May my feet rest firmly on the ground

May my head touch the sky

May I see clearly

May I have the capacity to listen

May I be free to touch

May my words be true

May my heart and mind be open

May my hands be empty to fill the need

May my arms be open to others

May my gifts be revealed to me

So that I may return that which has been given.

Stillness

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen -
that stillness becomes a radiance.
Morgan Freeman

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force.

Be Willing to Wait and Receive

There are occasions when you can hear the mysterious language of the Earth, 

in water, or coming through the trees, 

emanating from the mosses, seeping through the undercurrents of the soil; 

but you have to be willing to wait and receive.  

John Hay

The Art of Receiving Stillness

Wherever you go in the midst of movement and activity, 

carry your stillness within you. 

 Then the chaotic movement around you 

will never overshadow your access 

to the reservoir of creativity, the field of pure potentiality. ~Deepak Chopra

Gratitude

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

Joseph Campbell

 

 

Appreciation and The Art of Receiving

When is the last time you looked around at your surroundings and felt appreciative?

Your five senses are receptors. Tuning into what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell brings you into the present moment. You don't have to be looking at the red rocks of Sedona to feel in awe. You can have this experience where ever you are. Keep your eyes and other senses wide open today and find something to be absolutely amazed about.

The Art of Receiving and Kindness

Wherever there is a human being, 

there is an opportunity for a kindness. 

~Seneca

The Art of Receiving and Letting Go

If you let it go, it will let you go. ~ Amrit Desai

The butterfly counts not months but moments ...

The butterfly counts not months but moments, 

and has time enough. ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Embrace What You Discover

Whether you look within or without or up or down, 

embrace what you discover. 

Every part of your world and every part of you 

needs your love and acceptance.

 ~ Amanda Owen

We need silence ...

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence.... We need silence to be able to touch souls.  

~Mother Teresa
