Love in action

Love in action 2

Compassion is love in action.

When you are compassionate with others, you accept them in a space of humble kindness.  You are not excusing action or inaction on their part, rather you are fully acknowledging that the action or inaction is theirs and they are trying to do their best to be their best.

When you are compassionate with yourself, you invite the richest form of healing and growth imaginable within your deepest Self, knowing you are doing your best to be at your best.

Feel the love…unconditionally.

Feel compassion.

The Fold

Mountains & Sky

Where the mountains end and the sky begins

is the fold of the Universe,

where sadness and happiness collide,

where the past and the future meet today.

 

Look not on the convergence

with longing, searching,

or a need to see the separation.

 

The fold is a place

where none of that matters,

where there is no goodness or badness.

All just is.

 

Where all of the moments of life blend,

Effortlessly

Naturally

Joyfully

Complete.

Daily Injections

Joyful Yoga

“You’re Benjamin Buttoning,” my dear friend said.  What’s the secret?

Well-being.  When you have it, it shows.  It glows.

So, inject well-being into your life.  Let it flow through you, with you, and all around you…and then maybe you too will start to ‘Benjamin Button.’

How do you inject well-being?  More Joy… More Love…More Yoga.

“Certainly worth a try,” she said with a more youthful smile.

 

***

Celebrate National Yoga Awareness Month.  Take a yoga class or share yoga with a friend. Inject a little more well-being into your life!

Twinkle on

Twinkle On

Twinkling lights are so magical.  The anticipation of how they will brighten a path, shape a tree, light the way as night falls.  There’s a feeling that they were placed there just for me.  Sending a secret message of love and happiness.  Like a friendly smile, a generous hug, a simple wave, a knowing glance.  Twinkling lights make everything more special.

Twinkle on.

Ride the Wave

waves

Emotions last 90 seconds. They roll in one after the other like waves breaking along the shore.

The skilled surfer watches the waves as they roll in. He decides which waves to ride. He makes that difficult decision to either bail, abandoning his surfboard and saving himself, or stay with the wave and ride it to the end. His decision is based on an honest assessment of his skills, without judgment or self-criticism, and without investment in perceived outcomes.

Choose which waves you will ride today.
