Breathing in love, breathing out peace
any moment not spent in love is a waste of time.
live your love and pour your wilderness upon all things. mindfulness is the touch of loving-kindness communicated through the moving breath into our words and movement, facilitating an infinite compassionate state. this is the wilderness we call home.

The Happy Virus
I caught the happy virus last night.
When I was out singing beneath the stars.
It is remarkably contagious –
So kiss me.

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”

Love is snow falling
for winters death. Silent grows,
Nature’s heart flowers
“This is a process of continually stepping into unknown territory. You become willing to step into the unknown territory of your own being. Then you realize that this particular adventure is not only taking you into your own being, it’s also taking you out into the whole universe. You can only go into the unknown when you have made friends with yourself. You can only step into those areas “out there” by beginning to explore and have curiosity about this unknown “in here,” in yourself.
Dogen Zen-ji said, “To know yourself is to forget yourself.” We might think that knowing ourselves is a very ego-centered thing, but by beginning to look so clearly and so honestly at ourselves—at our emotions, at our thoughts, at who we really are—we begin to dissolve the walls that separate us from others. Somehow all of these walls, these ways of feeling separate from everything else and everyone else, are made up of opinions. They are made up of dogma; they are made of prejudice. These walls come from our fear of knowing parts of ourselves.” -from Pema Chodron
