life is sacred….all of it but mostly nature which connects us all ….all living things….

that for me it is more important to love goodness than hate evil…….
but there is great despair , I am going to the dreams of love and goodness in the world………..it feels better despite my inclinations not to go there and dream big!!!

for me I go with the saying… forgiveness does not change the past, it changes the future,,,,,,,,,,
living my life trying to be forgiving is a challenge……..

to tend the tenderness around me, I tend the tenderness in me…
feeling fragile seems more and more freeing as I experience this….

That the body and mind are incredible!- much learning to be had….
My friend has had her tumour removed and is now home!
As for my body and mind, they are in a constant state of trying to be in sync…..thank goodness for yoga….bridging that disconnect for me…..

just…be myself…..
have new white blank canvasses….. time to create….
garden awaits….time to create…..

“the function of freedom is to free someone else”……inspiring quote….
speaks to me of forgiveness, but to me forgiving others is really about freeing myself……….so I guess the inspiration is we all seek to forgive in order to be free….accepting this imperfect life that gives so much…..

life is more than the opposite of death….

the inner power from being grateful for my soulful existence………here and now and forever really…………………

Knowing that there is always ENOUGH!
Believing in abundance by my actions…sharing, giving, and most importantly being kind……..

tea…a very good offering….especially first thing in morning…

Anita,
I try to be a good friend to myself as much as I would be to my good friend, but it certainly is not easy for me…a lot more kindness and gentleness is needed for myself which I would gladly give to a friend……I am deserving and so are you!

Brittany,
“healthy vulnerability” are the words that stand out for me and I can really relate…and I am seeing this as a more accepting thing in my life…….although it sure isn’t an easy one..

Thanks , Trevor…very interesting when considering the senses….

yes ,yes, ” our strength is our weakness”,
Thank- you Anna for this inspiring quote….Love to you! ,

Anna,
I am finding it hard to realize that I am vulnerable like all and that is the truth of imperfection…the hard part in realizing this is I see the challenges that make us all tender, insecure, and frightened and then I see the world is just a place where we get to see this when I choose, which makes me sad, and want to cry but that is much better than never having experienced life fully, so I take it as we all take good with the bad!

Miranda,
WOW!….winter in Adelaide?
The world sure is amazing!!!

Shame is a big one for me too..
I recently heard this expression, that for all the suffering, there will never be enough shame!
I see it as letting go of suffering, living in the today, not yesterday, or tomorrow and the shame will follow…………
I am also keeping in mind, what someone shared of let go, or be dragged!!!!
hoping this helps…………………..

How True!
Life is amazing……it always brings me back to when I was a teenager and had a life threatening disease…..will and love of life is incredible!
I am pretty sure it made a difference in my outlook .
