I’ve been waiting patiently for the arrival of these boxes so I could wrap them and fill them with 52 inspiring quotations, carefully selected to help bring us back to our centers. I call these BLISS BOXES, and I’m so happy to share them. Click here for product detail page.
Soften, Soften. Feel your own perfection.

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.

This is a beautiful video with the words of a Mayan elder which sound, to me, like a poem you will want to share. Speaking of flowers, the sun was out this weekend and we gardened and planted lots of bulbs: lily of the valley, peonies, fresia, lilies, irises. We weeded the asparagus and strawberries… very content and excited. Wishing you sun and light and love and all good things.
Consider that Nirvana is itself
no other than our life.
~Dogen
All the way to heaven is heaven.
~Saint Teresa of Avila
To wander on Wednesdays;
To sit quietly
by the shoreline of stillness;
To drop my mind down
below the surface chatter -
The radio waves of thought
and their compulsive agitations:
The insult channel; the gossip channel;
the channel of panic and confusion.
To drop down into the
deep quiet from which
all wisdom comes.
To rest in awareness
of all that is here.
I do not long for more projects
or lists,
No more doing
or ideas for doing.
I only want this.
This.
The holy embrace of the day.
~Ingrid
(Special thanks to my dear friend Lori, who helped me take out my schedule and block out this time. Tell me friends, how do you make time and space for stillness, contentment, for belonging and for love?)
