WHEN to fly .....

How do they know...

What separates
one moment
to the next
of knowing
HOW ...
WHEN ...
WHERE ...to leap
and fly ....


I noticed the
cheering from
three ~ four
encouragements
on the
sidelines ...
it got louder
& louder ...
the nest stirred
more & more ...
each one popped up
taking the first flutter
of feathers ...
moving to the song
of the chorus outside
the nest ..... wake up,

it's time ...

come ... come

come with us !

JOY .... !!
the tribe
really matters
in times of
remembering for us
when we need to
spread
our wings
to fly ....

I am

now

forever

changed ...

I became

the witness

to a precious cycle ...

The miracle

of life ....

MEDITATION ... an attentive Art

How can you even hope

to approach the Truth through words . . .

You approach the Truth

through the gateway

of the

stillness beyond All activity.

of creation...

SAY WHAT YOU FEEL.....

Be who you are
and say
what you feel
because those
who mind don't matter
and those
who matter don't mind.

NOTHING further to Seek....

Nothing is more precious

than to be (someone)

who has nothing further to seek

CALM ... of Heart

peace.

it does not mean

to be
in a place
where there is

no noise,
trouble or
hard work.

it means to be
in the midst
of those things

and still be calm in your heart. ~ unknown ~

BELIEVE ... in Angels

There are only two ways to live your life......

One is as though nothing is a miracle.....

The other is as if everything is a miracle......

~ Albert Einstein ~

TODAY...is enough

I don't know
how
tomorrow's going
to work....
I have enough
now
to be with today

just breathing

into
the
unknown........







Have you
EVER

tried to
HOLD
a sunset ....

it lives
IN you

after the sun sets.....

SITTING ON THE EDGE

this morning's tea bag tag says....
wisdom
character and
consciousness
conquer all
~(unknown)~

Only Awareness Remains........
Life moves, undulates, breathes in and out,
contracting and expanding.
This is its nature, the nature of what is.
Whatever is, is on the move.
Nothing remains the same for very long.
~Adyashanti~

Live everyday
wide open
inspired
(Adyashanti)

the universe loves ...
gratitude under
ALL
circumstances
no matter what is
happening around you.

30 days of saturating
yourself with gratitude
WILL
change your life
beyond recognition

what you
radiate & live
the universe will
DELIVER
matching the intensity
of your gratitude

bring it on....
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !

today's epiphany..................

i'm repeating my un-happinesses based on
someone elses idea of being happy.

...REACTING to how they think i should be

...BELIEVING them when they tell me who i am.

now i feel
the reflection is me

this is the day to change the dream..........

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~


The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
~Eleanor Roosevelt ~



A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life.
~ Abraham ~

Look deep,

deep into nature,

and then you will

understand

everything better

~albert einstein~

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Live the life you have imagined.

(clingers ~ the vine tenacles .......weavers ~ spider webs)
