I’ve been having a lovely time in the studio creating new bundles of joy.  Prettily wrapped packages make my heart sing.  They are like treasured souvenirs from a magical place and time.  These gifts remind me of a dream I once had of a beautiful shop in a marvelous place.

Ask me for a certain amount of dollars if you will.
But do not ask me for my afternoons.

A Sacred Pause

  THERE IS A FIELD OF JOY YOU MAY REST IN 

There is a field of consciousness deep within you that contains the Universe; a field of love and beauty, truth, harmony and light.  Opening to this consciousness brings a luminous feeling of bliss.  Dwelling in this field feels like coming home… Seeing it in others, you realize all are One…  You may dance in this field, wander in this field, and find guidance in this field.  You may rest in this field whenever your mortal mind is weary. Take yourself there and rest.  It is the breath within your breath, the space between your thoughts.   It is your deep inner stillness, your indwelling peace and joy.

First we receive the light;

Then we impart the light.

Thus we repair the world.

Life, oh Wondrous Life,
Come fill me up with gladness.
I feast on your generosity;
I bask in your loving light.

Luminous Holy Essence,
Come fill me up with gladness.
Dark Flowering Infinite Universe,
Let me sing your eternal praise.
