Unseen

To believe in what is unseen is to live in reality ~Dean Jackson

Blank Canvas

"Each now is a new life, beginning, a blank canvas, fresh, clean, and alive, and you are the artist" ~Dean Jackson

Soul - body, heart, mind

"Our soul, our true self, is the most mysterious, essential, and magical dimension of our being. In fact, it is not a separate reality, as traditional Western thought views it, but the cohesive force that unites our body, heart, and mind. It is not a ghost trapped somehow in the physical machinery of our body but the very essence of our being."~ Gabrielle Roth

January 29 - Beautiful Moments

Pale white clouds

lit by a luminescent star

As smooth and soft 

as the cheek 

of a porcelain doll

I reach out to feel it

beyond the traffic

the power lines

the buildings

Reflection

creates a double sun

A moment of beauty 

softly and slowly fading

Its time in existence expiring

just like the fate 

of all other beautiful moments...

...a gentle reminder to cherish them deeply

Soul Seed

"When young people are not encouraged and given a chance to awaken to the story seeded in their souls, something greater than careers and potentials becomes wasted. Something golden and noble becomes lost and more people begin to wander in confusion, seeking in the outside world what has been lost within themselves."

~Michael Meade

Breaking Open

“The heart that breaks open can 

contain the whole universe.” 

― Joanna Macy

...and mine did, on a warm summer day, in an Ecopsychology class with 25 of my fellow Naropa students...in a great room, in a farmhouse between Boulder and Lyons...my life changed that day. Macy's work has had a profound impact on me. That particular day, we sat in a Council of All Beings:

Happiness

"If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you." ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
