Awareness


“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
- Victor Frankl
How difficult it is to focus on what Eckhart Tolle recommends, "Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them."


Staying in nature's moments makes awareness the focus. When we explore a hibiscus and travel its lines, curves, and textures, thoughts and feelings vanish.  



While easing into the keys or the flow of a fountain pen, the mind stays attuned to each movement rather than on a worry or a decision.

Awareness appears so natural. 

When the world whirls us into confusion, we must return our direction to nature's presence.



 "If we get rid of words and meaning, there is still poetry," said Yang Wan-li.


Delve into reflections, twirls of petals and dew.


Trace the eyelashes 
of a blossom.







Squint to see
collisions 
and collusion 
of color.
