A Sacred Pause

Posted on: May 25th, 2011 by ingrid No Comments

As the day follows night,
every winter is followed by spring.
Flowers bloom again, nectar filled,
to sip for new energy,
peace and well-being.

 

 

 

 

Remembering you are loved,
you return to the garden again.
Looking within, you smile~
the garden was always there.

~from The Honey Sutras

 

 

I’m pleased to say a new shipment of Honey Sutras paperbacks is in.  The first arrived damaged, and the few that I salvaged have a typo.  I’m offering these, hand-corrected by the poet herself (how quaint!) on sale for $10.  See the drop down menu on the order page.

Every book  is signed with love.

The Whole Bliss Garden

Posted on: April 15th, 2011 by ingrid 2 Comments

People ask me
why I am happy.
What can I say?
I stopped trying to be
the sharpest tool
in the shed.
Once I gave that up,
I could rest in all this love.
Relaxed, I opened the door,
stepped out and discovered
                   the whole bliss garden
                                              I’d been missing.

~Ingrid  from MOONLIGHT AND REMEMBRANCE

“Joy is the realization of the truth of our oneness,
the oneness of our soul with the world soul,
and of the world soul with Supreme Love.”
~Rabindranath Tagore

To Reconnect With Your Loving Center

Take a moment
to follow your breath.

Breathe in Peace,
Breathe out Love.

Breathe in Peace,
Breathe out Love.

Breathe in Love,
Breathe out Peace.

Breathe in Love,
Breathe out Peace.

Allow yourself to be nourished
and awakened by this simple
practice often.

from the book, Good Mother, Welcome

Baby girl smelling giant roseWhether you are aware of it or not,
you are whole.
You are perfectly imperfect…
You delight the Universe
and you are good enough.

~From The Joy Book

Love everything.  Love your way into Joy.

 “The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware,
joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.” ~ Henry Miller
