  • Love is at the Heart

    “Love is at the heart of all things. How you feel but reflects your decision to accept love or to reject it and choose fear. Both cannot be chosen. All feelings you label joyous or compassionate are of love. All feelings you label painful or angry are of fear. This is all there is. This is the world…

  • Haiku – Yoga

    ~ Merging breath with stretch. Mind, body, prana, spirit. Middle Ground yoga ~ Find your Middle Ground is about stepping away from stressful days and anxious minds, and taking time to pause.

  • The Meaning of Naff

    People often ask me what “naff” means. This is because I have a license plate with NAFF on it. Its a tongue in cheek joke, because personalized number plates are a bit naff in the UK. I have found it difficult to answer the question … until I came across this in the Guardian. I…

  • Celebrate Each Moment of the Journey

    “Who knows why life unfolds the way it does: why we choose one path or another, share the way for a while or a day, then say goodbye. There is no predictability here, and less control that we might wish. But there is a quiet urging of the heart, the knowing in the soul, the…

  • Spinning Compass

    Spinning Compass

    “Allow things to flow naturally, And evil will have no power. That is not to say that evil loses its power… Better, perhaps, to say that evil itself is lost. Without a “good” to point away from, Evil’s compass spins aimlessly. And so, the sage leaves things to be what they are, Leaving evil unharmed,…

  • Greatness of Being

  • A Perfect Day

    It was a perfect day … yet I wouldn’t have expected it 12 hours  ago. Be open. Be there. Turn up the volume. Let go of assumptions and embrace the heartfelt authentic melodies and words. We all yearn for this. Never forget. It up to our minds. Every day can be like this. p.s. Being a…

  • Breaking All the Rules

    There are moments when rules are meant to be broken; when bursting out of context is the sole way to see with new eyes. There are fences built only to be torn down. The slats look solid, but no one drove the nail in tight. There are barricades around the heart asking to be breached.…

  • Coming from Yin

    I took this photo yesterday morning after breakfast, as Don was enjoying his coffee along with birdsong, rustles of the leaves and a slowly rising and warming sun.
