"Do not dwell...

...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...
xoxo

"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."
