I am finding so much joy in my garden this Spring. It has been an abundant one for growth and blossoms.
It is my Center.
Luckily I haven’t had to go to many commercial garden centers, as everything seems to know how to magically fill in the space it has and how to express itself.
Such joy to nurture this and share 💛
This morning I woke up and decided I will have a day where I am curious.

People who are curious tend to:
To be curious we must pause in the moment.
No longer skipping and skimming our lives into the future or letting ourselves be stuck in the mud of the past.
To be curious brings us to our Middle Ground and we flourish here. It awakens creativity, gratitude and our inner Presence. It is the gateway to transforming all parts of our lives and awakening our spirit.
Why not join me in seeing how curious you can be today? We might surprise ourselves and each other!

These words came to me today as I realized that much of our lives are played out in what is known and the expectations of those around us.
How can we live beyond the knowing? By stepping out of our comfort zone and trusting that there are new limits to explore. To embrace the wonder beyond the knowing.
It doesn’t begin with more activity, the setting of goals and targets. These are the Yang aspects of life. It begins with setting aside time to be in stillness. To be with our thoughts and discovering the deeper, hidden parts of our being. This is where Yin resides.
In Yin we find the place beyond thought. The knowing that is within us all, that wants to break free.
Namaste
This is a re-blog from 2015, when I began to notice the tension when trying to get caught up with posts on Word Press. We don’t need to be actively interacting, to know that we are a part of this community. Gratitude and love to you ❤️
oooOOooo
Noticing Monday morning and its regular gift of a slight contraction in my body and mind.
My ego alert with thoughts about getting a head start and how much to get through.
No, not work…
The blogs I follow expand with content on Monday mornings.
An avalanche of goodness awaits.
Leading to some feelings of overwhelm and not enough time.
So I take time to notice and pause…
Slowing down and breathing in order to be present for each one.
Letting go of thoughts to hurry through and get it behind me.
This is not a task, its about connection, listening and community.
These feelings are like an echo of how I lived most of my life.
Hurrying up to get things done and get ahead of the present.
Skipping forward towards some goal.
If only I knew then what I know now …
Thank you bloggers for this lesson on mindful presence today
Namaste
Listen for what you need.
How come when we feel discomfort we don’t give it comfort.
When we have disease we don’t give ourselves ease.
Its like what we “dis” we DISS”.
Today, and every day day, be kind.
Don’t diss the dis.

A smile and a sigh In the aftermath.
Preparation and anticipation no longer ahead.
In the past, a job well done and so much fun.
Yoga teachers bringing more yin into their lives
And into the lives of their students.
Inspiring Yin in the world.
It feels darn good
Being part of something greater than myself.
Time for a Middle Ground pause
And then back to blogging.
I’m looking forward to connecting more with you all💛
“We’re lost in complexity. Looking for space in our life fills up the space of our life. It exhausts us and makes us feel more and more frantic and takes us further from help. Let the spaciousness of life find us.
It is always there, which is precisely where we are.
Relax. Help is very near.”
~ Steven Harrison Taken from The Shimmering World – Living Meditation
Let go of complexity and seeking.
Allow spaciousness to find you.
It is here, in this moment.
Help is always near.
We can access it if we relax.
When we find our Middle Ground, we touch the life energy within us all.
Namaste
