This is a re-post and reminder to bring wonder into your day today 💛
Thoughts and beliefs create how we see the world around us
This is our reality
Our thinking is not the truth
The truth is beyond our thoughts and beliefs
Trust that there is so much more than what is already known
Take time to come into the present moment
And see your world through the lens of wonder
Notice with an open heart and mind
Let go of your thinking
And let in whatever shows up that was once hidden
Namaste

River Of Life by Heather Hennick
Tao is the unknowable fundamental of the universe.
Follow its current,
And it is the source of joy and wonder.
Fight against it,
And it is merely a refuge.
Eloquent words and admirable deeds yield profit,
But those lacking such things, do they not come from Tao as well?
Your greatest gift is to be a conduit for Tao.*
~ Lao Tzu
The last line really resonated today. To be a conduit of the goodness and wholeness of our very nature would be the best gift for all of us to share.

This is wonderful advice for parents. In this day and age of striving and achieving, showing our children how to live life fully.
Val x
“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples, and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
~ William Martin, The Parent’s Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents.
