“Meditation is mind without agitation”. Stress causes agitation (I think we all experience a bit these days ;)) and Meditation allows us to take charge of our own nervous system and emotions.

Day 37 – Writing with Wire
“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair.

Day 33 – Pay it forward
Today’s first was inspired by words that happened to cross my path “Today I will exercise my soul by doing somebody I don’t know a good turn, and not get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count”.

Day 31- a taste of nature’s music – Fall Creek
What Magic. Isn’t it wild to think of the interconnectedness of the roots of the trees in a redwood forest? The entire forest is actually one large organism. As we look at the individual trees, it is easy to forget that what allows them to grow so tall and keeps them so stable is the vastContinue reading “Day 31- a taste of nature’s music – Fall Creek”
