Finding Bliss

Thoughts on finding Bliss:  Today's treasures are not to be missed. Splash, whirl, dance and play, Celebrate with abandon this special day. Release your burdens for a time, Take my hand, as together we climb, And reclaim all that is sublime. There will be time to drink from life's bitter cup, But today let bliss take … Continue reading Finding Bliss

Meditation Revelation

During a recent meditation I learned that I was defining myself based upon things other people told me about myself. Even as I write that sentence I giggle about its absurdity. How can any other person know more truth about me than I know myself? Ludicrous!!! And yet for so long I've held many of … Continue reading Meditation Revelation

Moving Forward

All of my life or for a big part of it anyway, I've heard about life's ebb and flow. Folks have spoken and written about phases of life in an attempt to make sense of what has happened.

I call upon … Continue reading Free Yourself from Whatever is Weighing You Down

It Is All A Matter of Perspective

In art perspective happens on the horizon line; that is if you are painting landscapes. This is where the artist tells us about distance. Wouldn't it be great if we had such a tool in finding perspective about our life and corresponding relationships? Let's try a technique often employed by painters. Create a frame with … Continue reading It Is All A Matter of Perspective
