I too have known loneliness.
I too have known what it is to feel
misunderstood,
rejected, and suddenly
not at all beautiful.
Oh, mother earth,
your comfort is great, your arms never withhold.
It has saved my life to know this.
Your rivers flowing, your roses opening in the morning.
Oh, motions of tenderness!

~Mary Oliver

I cannot fathom a world without wonder….

inquiry for today~ find silence and revel in what is…..

sensing and feeling

Meditation, in this sense, is really a state of discovery.

Sitting in quiet and stillness and just being in a state of openness gives you a clear opportunity

to watch what happens internally when you stop judging your experience,

when you stop judging your mind for being busy, or you stop judging yourself for having a particular feeling.

You don’t try to get rid of the feeling. You don’t try to get rid of the mind. You just let go of your judgement.

You let go of trying to control the moment. For a while, you surrender into what is.
