"Be careful what you water your dreams with.

Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dreams.

Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success.

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your Dream."

"You chose to be who you now are, you came here to thrive, the odds always seem steep, still, the game is rigged in your favor, you knew what you were doing, your demons aren't real, fear was part of the deal, love is all you need, you're never alone, thoughts become things... and you still look absolutely amazing in jeans. Beaming, The Universe"

"We're in a free-fall into future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective and that's all it is ... joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes." ~Joseph Campbell

........

Everything we have learned along the way is not entirely true Hold fast to nothing Except for your own truth Who are you? Why are you here? Who did you come here to be? Do not attach to anything Do not hold on to any one view Rather just be yourself, state your truth, know Be the center of your own universe When you look all around from many angles – what do you see? It is time to return to yourself Return home To the truth only you can touch, hear, feel, taste, BE What is growing inside of you? Fall is the time of harvest, so reap now what you have sown thus far and continue on. I think of it as a noticing of all my leaves, see what they all represent. Sometimes we leave some lay, sometimes we pick up the most colorful ones and continue to enjoy them. Others are not yet ripe, a reconciliation of sorts. Think about the time of rest winter will bring and what seeds you wish to plant again in spring. Fall is a time of change – the trees, leaves, temperatures…a natural falling away occurs. It is a time for crisp noticing! Allow your beautiful colors to drift to the ground as leaves on a tree. Nothing to do but notice and state their truth as they drift down. Even the falling action is oh so beautiful when you take the time to stand still and watch. In the silence of stillness Everything is known. Take some time just for you this fall season to reflect on and appreciate all of the beautiful colors of your tree, unique only to you ... Yotehay Wah! Aho!

 “The earth does not belong to us. We belong to the earth. The earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. This we know. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together and connected like the blood which unites one family”. ― Chief Seattle

 Winter by Tommy Makem

WINTER, a sharp bitter day the robin turns plump against the cold the sun is week silver faded from gold he is late in his coming and short in his stay Man, beast, bird and air all purging, all cleansing, earth already purified awaits the rite of spring Her bridal gown a virgin snow and frosts in her hair A snowdrop by the road today bowed gracefully and high upon the wing up in the sparkling nothingness, a lone bird began to sing Can gentle spring be far away?

 "While we practice conscious breathing, our thinking will slow down, and we can give ourselves a real rest. Most of the time, we think too much and mindful breathing helps us to be calm, relaxed and peaceful. It helps us stop thinking so much and stop being possessed by sorrows of the past and worries about the future. It enables us to be in touch with life, which is wonderful in the present moment". THICH NHAT HANH, Peace is Every Step
