* Inspiration – Here and Now

“We have forgotten what rocks, plants and animals know.

We have forgotten how to be –

to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is,

Here and Now”

Eckhart Tolle

From “Guardians of Being: spiritual teachings from our dog and cats” with art by Patrick McDonnell.

    Sitting with rocks, plants, and animals is my favorite place to be. Pure authenticity, boundless love and light.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
