Thank-you, Kristi, and thanks to all the staff. I am so thankful for the richness of these teachings and the power of presence moment awareness to awaken us to gratefulness and reality. Love and blessings to you all.

Insight: Understanding gives birth to Compassion.

Thanks to Kristie for your sweet practice.

Thank-you for this. Your words and intention align with and edify my heart and spirt this morning as I visit this space for my daily dose of inspiration.

Breath is the bridge that brings us home to our bodies, which dwell in the eternal present/presence.

Thank you for today’s sweet teaching.

Nicely done, Rose! Thanks for this sweet offering. I particularly liked the connection made between openness and acceptance. Peace to you and yours.

Beautiful, Fabiana. I feel exactly the same about this and have been practicing smiling, making eye contact, waving, and thanking in my little corner of the world. Love and peace to you and yours.

What a beautiful gift for words you have. I think I’ll go snow shoeing.

Thank-you, my brother, for your immense heart, your good works, and for embodying the continuation of so many great hearts and minds that have come before to show us the way.

Hey, man, this is beautiful. Your message brings a smile and tear (or two). Greetings from beautiful Edgewater, Colorado. Many blessings to your heart and the hearts of your ancestors and dear ones.

Ah, Greta. This is beautiful.

Thanks, Kristi. The timing and thoughtfulness of your words are just perfect. I’ll carry them with me on a hike into the Colorado foothills this morning.

Well done, you.

While sipping coffee
The Sun rises so brightly
On our suffering

First the nightbird sang
Then sunlight answered back
Daffodils blooming!

tiny buds on branches
witness robin’s arrival
as daffodils bow

The temple bell stops—
but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers

Basho

Drawn because of the imagery and the mingling of the senses: sound from silent flowers. They invite with the call of the sacred, just as the temple bell.

I notice beauty

I experience a familiar, primal joy in the marriage of nature and the divine. Awe.

Thank you, Fabiana. You have added beauty to this day’s dawning.

Pure sweetness. Thanks so much, Kristi.
