I thank the Great Mother Goddess every day for this Earth and the profound connection that I feel to this Earth and the Mother. Today’s Quote of the Day is a favorite from the prolific fiction and non-fiction author, Wendell Berry. His nature writing speaks of my own thoughts and senses on nature:
The Earth sustains us. Please treat her with care.
Namaste… Pamela

John Trudell, Santee Sioux, passed away this morning. He was 69. I have been a long time fan of John Trudell’s written and spoken word, as well as an admirer of the work he has done as an activist. I had the pleasure of meeting John a few times while living in Los Angeles and seeing him perform with his band, Bad Dog. I was deeply saddened to learn a few days ago that John had cancer and his time was limited here on our planet, the planet he advocated for in so many ways.
I am a better person for knowing John Trudell. He was a great man, a peaceful warrior, a stellar human being. His words will be with us forever…
“My ride showed up.””Celebrate Love. Celebrate Life.” John Trudell February 15, 1946 – December 8, 2015

I’ve traveled here, there and back again in my lifetime. Today this affirmation from Julia Cameron resonates with me…
“Today, I pause to take stock. I count and appreciate my gains. I rest before going forward. I savor the journey I’ve taken already and the distance I have come.” – Julia Cameron: Transitions… Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life

“Ecstasy carries you completely outside your ego boundaries. In ecstasy you know yourself as cosmic ego, unbounded in time and space. The end of love’s journey returns to the source of all awareness, power, and being. Moksha is not an ending but a beginning – we begin to live in fullness only after liberation. A liberated soul is a citizen of the universe.” – Deepak Chopra: The Path To Love

“Being fully present isn’t something that happens once and then you have achieved it; it’s being awake to the ebb and flow and movement and creation of life, being alive to the process of life itself. That also has its softness. If there were a goal that you were supposed to achieve, such as “no thoughts,” that wouldn’t be very soft. You’d have to struggle a lot to get rid of all those thoughts, and you probably couldn’t do it anyway. The fact that there is no goal also adds to the softness.” ~ Pema Chodron
