“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
Albert Camus
For Gin, who taught me the Blessings of life.
Purple stars bloom
fragrant and light
soft and sweet
spring comes

After a cloudy day,
After the white gray skies
No matter how hard the rain falls
No matter how chilly the fog is, the clouds will go away.
It is there just for the moment.
It is there for the time being.
Soon the sun will break through.
Soon sadness will leave.
Only blessings and peace will remain
Only beautiful memories will linger
Always and Forever.
For Lizz

Badwater Basin – Death Valley, lowest point in North America
I see the many colors of the ocean
The surf breaking on the shore
and cries of sea gulls.
oh, so, gently take me into dreamland.

A purple sunset inspire the soul
to release the past
embrace new ideas
new relationships,
new perspectives.
Sweet flowers alone bring
visions of future
Resilience,
Richness and
plain perfect beauty of life.
It wasn’t so long ago
the cherished thoughts become the loveliest bouquets
Under the lilac tree.

Be still and flow with the wave’s motion.
Life is ephemeral as the universe flow.
It rises and falls, as life’s high and low points.
Be attentive
Be centered
Be awake
Stay calm and relaxed.
Riding the wave will always
take you where you need to go.

There is Light even in the darkest place ~ Unknown
Winter is like a blanket,
white cover on the ground.
Spring is like a flower,
sweet blooms of pink … yellow .
Summer is like grass,
shifting in the wind.
Fall is like a yellow leaf,
softly dancing in the air.
Seasons are different no matter how hushed,
immutable as it gradually pass away.

The fire that goes down at sunset
takes a part of your life.
Everything that you have in this moment
is just enough.
When thoughts veer toward colorless darkness
Know in your heart
Soft orange,
Bluish red skies
Pink clouds …
Say
“I have everything I need at this moment …
My world is full of abundance.”

There is Only Now
Be present … Now
Experience each life moment,
not through memory or fantasy.
Stay aware, open, and receptive.
Each present moment is completely new.
As you move through your day,
Remember to stay present in each second.
In doing so, you will live your life,
without having to wait for the future,
or yearn for the past.
Life happens to us
When we happen to life in the Now.

By surrendering to the present today,
you will savor the serenity that comes from simply being.

Your soul at peace, serene, strong and firm.
