Two Wolves

A Cherokee story of Grandfather

An old grandfather said to his grandson, who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice, “Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt great hate for those that have taken so…

Clues

Something that makes sense. Something that makes the hurt go away.

We grasp at straws. Maybe we’re a BAD person. Maybe we’re paying for something we DID do. Maybe there is no God.



Nope…

A Place of Peace

And so I add energy of happy, refrain & quiet and see what pops up.  Peace is the stillness in us, our-no-mistaking-it center and…

Maze

What we go through, like going in & out of a maze

First there is HEAVEN; then there is TRAUMA. The latter is marked by abuse, severe personal loss or maybe just being born on earth.



To recover from this we cocoon. Survival is our…

Caddisfly Larva

Caddisflies are useful as bioindicators, as they are sensitive to water pollution and are large…

The Stillness

It’s who we are, what we are and where we are. The message of Eckhart Tolle is to bring this into everyday life.

This is a picture of my…

Perspective from 6 feet under

It's where things are genuine and the light is clear. There's a stillness in our heart, beyond happy, a peace full beyond measure.

Yearbook

It makes me think what we KNOW, HAVE OR HAVE DONE is NOT of great importance (when we're 6 ft under). The play is not of our making, but how we play our role is. Thank God we aren't graded.

Consciousness

What we pay attention to. I like the happy stuff.

A Candle Outside of Time

It's what we show the world when we give ourselves the freedom to be who we are. But you gotta be awake to do…

Mosquito Egg Raft

Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the tip of the cap of a mosquito egg case. Culex species lay their eggs in the form of egg rafts that float in still or stagnant water.

The mosquito lays the eggs one at a time sticking them together in the shape of a raft. An egg raft can…

Consciousness

Consciousness is what we pay attention to. When we reclaim our consciousness from mind (the maker of mental movies), we reclaim our freedom to be who we are.

Where the sun doesn't shine & the flowers droop

When we’re not present, we’re absent. When we’re absent, WHERE ARE WE?

It’s a place the sun doesn't shine when we’re not there, a place…

The Little Prince

We see correctly with the heart. Although age, shape and form are seen in the world, they are NOT who we are. They are EXPRESSIONS of who we are. They are not the same thing.…

Under The Bed

What is it that already exists but until we see it hasn't come into being? Like my good shoes under the bed?

When we take away the sound, shape and form of everything, we have not nothing but what some call "stillness." It holds everything that is tangible, see-able and nameable.

When we pay attention to the silence between words or notes of music we catch a glimpse of it. This image points to it by the mood it…

The Spot



There's a place inside us where we're connected to the things we love. It calls to me like beautiful things do.  Aranjuez takes me there.

Waiting

Allowing others to speak first what's on their mind in their own time shows respect for them. Sometimes it's enough to just listen to the silence.

Box Jellyfish catching fish

Box jellyfish with a small fish caught in one of its tentacles. Despite the fish's best efforts at escape, the jellyfish ensnares it in more of its venomous tentacles, to be digested later. Box jellyfish are one of the most…
