smile, be in the moment, be myself

all of them , for different reasons- all came into my life for purpose of knowing and experiencing love……and it still exists now…

inner work and social action are really 2 sides of the same thing for me……
that said it is not easy and I am in a state of conflict for myself….am I being true to myself? ….do I wish same for others
to be happy, I need to see my interrelatedness to all living things..
may all beings have peace and be truly happy…..
as a society I believe we are judged by how we treat the most vulnerable…….

very Buddha – like, cause it is coming from within…….that inner peace that shines when I can focus on the moment to moment and then all seems okay with the world………..
good reminder, focus on breathe, hear, now, the wondrous moment…

my painting friend, who I call my “muse”
I will let her know again and again each time we do art together…she is incredibly talented and generous with her gift

being one with nature, gliding in my kayak amongst clean water, fresh air, nothing but God’s nature all around me in the water, sky, air, earth…….
it is wondrous indeed and I am happy because, I breathe in each moment, my heart fills and I sing!

love today’s quote, inspires me to reflect on the belief that love is not a feeling but also a state….
I would like to embody the belief that love and kindness are a state of being in the world.
it is actions and not my beliefs that will endure

love quote today from David Whyte…..
with courage and compassion, I have everything and what is next, is what is next………..that is the vulnerability of life………………..

all the parts that miraculously heal!…so many heal and re-generate…

Nice, Christina, you did it for you!
I struggle to let go of the hurts of my family from the past, forgiveness is hard but I am continually working on it,
Love,
Gina

one world, one people, all interconnected, that is my belief

Balance for sure is a challenge for me too!
Some days more than others !

thank- you, beautifully put, nice to remember

such a tender and caring moment

My mother went through dialysis for years, although I offered to sit with her, she always refused….the day she was told she would no longer able to receive dialysis was the day she had to face the horrible truth of dialysis and indeed my mom was very afraid….
very tough situation, many blessings to you

and for me silence is the sound of love…

Love it, Kevin : )

yes, love his work,
You are so lucky to be able to go to his appearances..
I dream of going on one of his guided trips…..
I must check and be sure I am on his E-mail list…

Kevin,
LOVE IT!
My aunt would say,” I am still in the game” she lived to 93 and was happy to live her life to the fullest….true inspiration!
