Plain. Simple. Easy.

Some days the practice is about the 'allowing'...the 'letting go'...the 'releasing' into just what and how it is.

Ordinary.

Grey.

Uninspiring.

The 'noticing'....the 'appreciating'...the 'finding' beauty in the every day.

Plain.

Simple.

Easy.

The 'disovering' the new in the old. The 'breathing into' it..and finding that quiet space inside that reminds me that it's been here all along. All I needed was to look and see.

Hands and Hearts

More than words ever can...or will - with hands and hearts reaching out and extending to those who have lost so much - this image says it all.

Funny....how some days - the just right 'thing' - appears.

Needing Nothing

Of needing nothing. Of needing no actions or inactions or distractions. Of needing no 'thing' to fill and fulfill. Of finding passion and purpose in just this.

As I lay there in the sea of lavender...I thought it was that that I'd come for. The color so exquisite...it took my breath away.

But then - I quickly realized - it was not that that caught my attention....my focus....my gaze. It was a simple blade of ordinary grass....right there in the middle of all of that extraordinary color. A little piece of green. It wasn't the purple.

It reminded me those lessons. Of needing nothing. Of seeing and embodying and simply being - no one 'thing'...and all 'things' together. It reminded me of how simple is this practice - of needing nothing other than just this.
