* Guardians of Being

December 20, 2014

—

Connection, Happiness, Inspirations, Lighten Up

“Millions of people who otherwise would be completely lost in their minds and in endless past and future concerns are taken back by their dog or cat into the present moment, again and again and reminded of the joy of Being.”

Eckhart Tolle from “Guardians of Being”

So true!

Fond memories of my soul mate Harry with his devoted follower Dilys – who is still here 🙂

For those of you who are guardians of four legged beings, let them help you find your middle ground with snuggles, peace and joy over the holiday season!

What a terrific quotation from Eckhart Tolle. Our dogs and cats are such a beautiful example of being centered in the present, and the peace and tranquility it can bring.

Thank you Val. Ellie the Wonder Pooch did this for me always — and now, Marley The Great Cat does his best…. but… he is a cat you know and it is his right to be treated as King. 🙂

That’s a lovely sentiment! And it’s so true that they help us remain grounded in the present. Bumble is my guardian of being 🙂

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.
