The acorn

Within each of us is the acorn, the soul seed, the germ of our unique genius and destiny. Our goal here is to uncover the acorn to reconnect with the inner angel.

.. Don’t go looking for what’s wrong with us, rather, … go in search of our genius

Elizabeth Lesser

Blessed

Never forget that your days are blessed

You may know how to profit by them or you may not,

but they are blessed

Nadia Boulanger, 1887 – 1979, French music conductor and composer

the weather

You aren’t your thoughts – you’re the sky holding them.

Suffering starts when you become the weather.

Steven Hayes, A Liberated Mind

Creating more stress

The ego’s habit is to try to control things, to make them secure.

But life isn’t like that.

The more we try to grip, the more suffering we create.

Mindfulness allows us to open to the way things are, to respond wisely rather than react blindly.

Ajahn Sucitto, Retreat talk

Sunday Quote: trust

What we notice

Abundance is not something we acquire.

It is something we tune into

Wayne Dyer
