Blustery Saturday

It is a lovely blustery, yet bright sunshiney day. For the last weekend in November, quite warm! I went to sleep early last night, so I could wake up at dawn. I love waking up in the quiet, the stillness, and the peacefulness that dawn offers.
Ah, Saturday morning, and everyone in my building is sleeping in, but me!
I get up, light a red apple spice candle, and some celestial incense. My meditation this morning, right around sunrise was a short quiet, mostly unruffled by too many thoughts. Sending loving kindness to all I hold dear, and everyone else too. The Buddha did not discriminate who he sent love and light too;why should I?

A day of balance is before me. Trying to balance connecting with important people, and spending time connecting within. A daily tightrope excercise!
May peace, balance and the beauty of nature be yours today!

Billowing Sheets

Effortlessly,
sheets billow
in the wind.

Non-resistant,
they dry
in grace.

Purpose of Art

"The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline, but is rather the gradual lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity."

Glenn Gould
Canadian pianist and composer

Quote from Buddha

Hear what is said,
Retain what is important,
Speak what is worthy,

Attach to nothing.


Le Buddha

LIGHT BEARERS

Light bearers
Brighten everyone's path.
Non-discriminating,
They spread joy,
Truth, compassion:
Just by breathing,
By merely being.

Soon After Sunrise

Soon after sunrise
Small clusters of clouds
Crowd the horizon
Like peaks of the himalayas.

A community of clouds
Worshipping:
Blesssed Day's
Bright beginning.

Happy Day after Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a festive, lovely warm-hearted thanksgiving. Simple celebrations can be wonderful! I am so grateful for my dear family. We celebrated together, just the four of us, at my brother's beautiful home in Eaton's Neck.
The sunset over the harbour was breath-taking. Our feast was healthy delicious, and a rainbow of colors. Warm, peaceful conversation was the theme.
Thank you dear family for being so special. Many more celebrations to look forward to!
