DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT

a yummy fat quarter pack

a liberated open heart

and another open heart - to help me stay focused on my intention

to live life open to sublime possibilities

unafraid of really feeling my feelings

a raggy heart quilt for the compassionate hospice bereavement counselor who is helping me put my raggy heart back together - she shared with me today that she had another job she was miserable at and had the courage to follow her passion...oh my...how lucky are we to have people like this in our world?

weeds or white and yellow bursts of happiness? DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT

TWO QUOTES THAT RESONATE TODAY - FROM LOVING KINDNESS BY SHARON SALZBERG

We can travel a long way and do many different things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. It is born from letting go of what is unneccessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home. True happiness may not be all that far away, but it requires a radical change of view as to where to find it.

Abandoning unskillful states that cause suffering is not something we do out of fear of or contempt for those states, or out of contempt for ourselves for having those states arise in the mind. Abandoning the unskillful isn't accomplished by angrily shoving or pushing away our habits of separation. Rather it comes as we learn to truly love ourselves and all beings, so that love provides the light by which we bear witness to those burdens, watching them simply fall away.
