I want to know if you can see beauty … every day,

and if you can source your own life from its presence.

  It is a lovely quiet place, the site of an old celtic monastery, and the visit I had there, this day last year, was really beautiful. Thanks for commenting,Karl

    Yeah, the remains of churches are there and a round tower but the whole valley holds a stillness and is itself a monastery. It is really special. Karl

It contains reflections to encourage the practice of meditation as well as occasional posts from psychology, spirituality and the wisdom traditions. The daily posts are prompted by Rilke's advice: "Write about what your everyday life offers you, your sorrows and desires, the thoughts that pass through your mind, and your belief in some kind of beauty".
