...in the past, do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment."
~Buddha~
praying mantis:
patience, stillness, mindfulness, and good luck.
This little one wasn't so lucky...it's little prayer limbs were
missing. I read about them....and it's common,
and they do grow back.
notes...
still dark, lightning flashing in the west,
cow moo's coming from a nearby farm,
coyotes that sound too close,
a cool breeze on the porch
the trio of crickets, Polly purrs, and an owl hoot
wrapped in my NY blanket...
with my cup of coffee
having a moment
create some space to contemplate
the mysteries of life
every event in your life provides opportunity
to learn the deepest lessons
act in your best interests and being true
to yourself
let go of the need for approval
approve of yourself
in the end that's the only approval that counts
be open to healthy options for taking
care of yourself
"Meditation should be a daily priority
for all believers."
~Charles Stanley~
peace is a quality of the Spirit
that is everywhere present
all of the peace that you could ever desire
is already within you
you contract this peace through prayer
and meditation
quietness and trust accomplish far
more than you can imagine
your not looking for popularity or applause
you're in search of purpose
don't spend your time obsessing
about what others are doing
traveling your own path is all consuming
meditate on scripture
apply the word to your situation
through prayer and meditation
free yourself from wrong thinking
honor the mystery of each moment
be well...

"Relax. You are enough. you do enough.
Breathe extra deep, let go, and just live
right now in this moment."
"Stay in the moment. The practice of staying present
will heal you. Obsessing about how the future will turn out
creates anxiety.
Replacing broken scenarios from the past causes
anger and sadness.
Stay here, in this moment."
"Clear your mind.
Your heart is trying to tell you something."
