Our life journey contain many twists and turns and we all make mistakes along the way. And yet, Spring returns
I write,
erase,
rewrite.
Erase again, and then…
A poppy blooms.
Hokusai, 1760 – 1849, Japanese painter, printmaker

Even the smallest thing
Every speck of dust has a marvellous soul, but to understand it, one must recover one’s religious and magical sense of things.
Joan Miró, Catalan painter
Living your life
It is not about achieving your dreams but living your life.
If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
As it is
The biggest error we make in our life … is to think that … our life just as it is, with all of its problems, … has something wrong with it. And because we think that, we get busy... Our life is always all right. … But since we refuse to accept life as it is, because of our preference for things that are pleasurable, we pick and choose from life.
Charlotte Joko Beck, Everyday Zen
Asking the dog
Love, love, love, says Percy.
And hurry as fast as you can
along the shining beach, or the rubble, or the dust.
Then, go to sleep.
Give up your body heat, your beating heart.
Then, trust.
Mary Oliver, I Ask Percy How I Should Live My Life
A natural cycle
Losses aren’t cataclysmic if they teach the heart and soul their natural cycle of breaking and healing.
A real tragedy? That’s the loss of the heart and soul themselves. If you’ve abandoned yourself in the effort to keep anyone or anything else, unlearn that pattern. Live your truth, losses be damned. Just like that, your heart and soul will return home.
