In the country, past Orangeville, Ontario with my husband and his son. Vegan food, meditation, kirtan, and meeting some truly amazing people. Lots of tea and meaningful conversation.

Choices

Every reaction is a choice. I can choose to absorb everyone else’s stress, or I can choose to seek and find serenity. I choose not to absorb everyone else’s stress. I choose to be serene. I choose to exist in a state of relative detachment. Often, it’s easier said than done but it comes easier with practice. In time, I’m learning that I simply be a fly on the wall: observe, process, and release. I don’t have to carry any of it.

Observing Life

admin — Thu, 20 May 2010 15:15:19 +0000

There is such beautiful in observing life in action. There is peace in growth and cultivation.

I am working on growing and cultivating a friendship at the moment. If NOW is all that we have, we cannot dwell on the past, there is only the NOW in which we reside. From this knowledge, I am hoping to see a sprout of compassion and understanding develop, that may someday be a great and admirable plant.

The Magnificence of Nature

I’ve spent most of the past week communing with nature, in its absolute beauty and perfection.

Fierce Light

I’m not usually one for going to the theatre. I don’t value typical Hollywood movies enough to fork over the price of admission when I can simply wait for the DVD to be released. However, when a friend invited me to see Fierce Light in Vancouver last week, I jumped at the chance. Fierce Light (When Spirit Meets Action) – where spiritualism meets activism – is probably the best offering I have seen this far into 2009.

En route to Jericho Beach – Vancouver, BC

There is nothing more beautiful than light filtering from the heavens, through the trees. Beautiful and perfect in its simplicity; for a brief moment in time, anything else can be forgotten.
