We see how beautiful and wonderful and amazing things are, and we see how caught up we are. It isn’t that one is the bad part and one is the good part, but that it’s a kind of interesting, smelly, rich, fertile mess of stuff. When it’s all mixed up together, it’s us: humanness. – Pema Chodron

Today I remind myself that I am Healthy, Happy & Abundant. These three blessings are positive forces that are working in my life today and everyday. I am thankful for these blessings and all of the blessings in my life. My life is rich. – Pamela J. Leavey

“Considering the inherent limits of the finite human mind and our nearly inexhaustible capacity for self-deception, we may actually be closest to the truth when we remain acutely aware of our ignorance.” – Sam Keen – Hymns To An Unknown God

As Henry David Thoreau knew well, a walk in nature always affects the quality of the day…
Get outside and be one with nature, even for just a little while each day!
“To affect the quality of the day,
that is the highest of arts.”
– Henry David Thoreau

We all have our sacred places… This is one of my most sacred…
“A place becomes the sacred ground
of my being only when I have tended
and enjoyed it long enough for each
spot and inhabitant to have a rich
history of associations and stories.”
– Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God

Relationship lessons are often the hardest ones to get. Try as I may, sometimes it is so difficult to not take things personally. But our reaction to someone else’s actions is often what causes us the most pain. Over time I have tried to move past an issue I have with reaching to people I care about who are going through a tough time and having them not respond. What is most difficult to justify in my mind is knowing that it matters to me when loved ones reach out to me when I am going through a tough time. I treat people as I want to be treated. Alas, we are not all the same. So, I try to remember this lesson…
“Look to see what you are being,
doing and having in any given
moment, not what’s going on with
another. It is not in the action
of another, but in your re-action,
that your salvation will be found.”
– Neale Donald Walsch
