When we mindfully maintain balance, we navigate through life on a more even keel ~ capable of weathering the tempests and squalls of daily life without permanent damage to our rigging.

This is so true Val and I apply this by taking my yoga mat everywhere and that anytime, I can connect to my inner temple and source of energy.

Yes. Reminds me of:
“To hurry around trying to find happiness outside ourselves makes about as much sense as the comical figure in the Islamic parable who, having lost a key in his living room, goes out into the street to look for it because there’s more light there.”
~ Pico Iyer. The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere (Simon & Schuster/ TED. 2014.)

Thank you Annabelle! It is a wonderful photo isn’t it. The tree is actually quite a distance from this little temple in India. The photographer caught it just right with the sun shining through the window!

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.
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.
I’d love to hear from you …
