Do you cherish your humble and silky life?
Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?”

Courage to Change
Always have the courage
To Change,
Welcoming those voices
That call you beyond yourself.

Balance
Let’s face it, we are all experts at doing. So no need to chat about that.
However, finding balance between being and doing, action and non-action, unconscious and conscious awareness is another thing altogether.
Most of us have learned about balance from doing too much. The first time we crash and burn we say, ‘Note to self’…”Must slow down, do less and rest more!” But we forget where we put that memo, and so, we begin the crazy 8 of doing, then crashing, then doing, and then physically being stopped by sickness, chronic illness or just sheer exhaustion and doing again.
But….this formula gets a little repetitive after awhile don’t you think? and is very hard on our bodies.
So what’s the secret? For me it’s just a practice of being. Over many years, and still learning, I’ve finally realised its the practice of being that allows me to see when to do …and when to be. When to take action and when to surrender.
I can’t see it when I’m only doing. It’s not possible. So I have to practice being. A daily discipline!
Being is a set time in stillness, and silence every day. Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer.
When I’m in this space, my life feels like it flows rather than pushing uphill. In this space, I learn to feel and understand the true meaning of balance.
Let’s not Forget
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory…. Dr Seuss
Find The Gaps
Go inside where silence is. Stay there. Let words bubble up.
Maxime Lagace
Obstacles
“When you meet obstacles with gratitude, your perception starts to shift, resistance loses its power and grace finds a home within you.” Oprah Winfrey
Remembering……
Never form an opinion on anyone. How they are in this moment is all that matters.
How they are tomorrow, let us see.
Tomorrow must be created, not concretized right now. – Sadhguru
The Over-Controller
Take a Knee
“We seldom notice how each day is a holy place,
Where the Eucharist of the ordinary happens
Transforming our broken fragments
Into an eternal continuity that keeps us.”
