Imaginate

It is the marriage of the soul with Nature 
that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination. 

- Henry David Thoreau

Find Laughter in flowers.

Fun your way in play.

Sweep into Stillness

What does it mean to feel an internal stillness?

Birds feel their presence in each moment aware of branches and breeze.

Staying still as a statue, the Black Phoebe watches and waits. Cock of head, spread of wings, he sprints into the air to capture an insect. From branch to branch he focuses for his prey.

With their immersion in life unfolding moment by moment, birds avoid the incessant internal chatter we often suffer.



How will you sweep into the stillness? 

Find Your Way

He who conquers others is strong. He who conquers himself is mighty.

— Zen proverb

Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention . . . . A loving silence often has the
power to heal. 
                   - Rachel Naomi Remen

Albert Einstein said, "Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better."

Gary Snyder wrote, "Spending time with our own mind is humbling and broadening. One finds that there's no one in charge, and is reminded that no thought lasts for long."

". . . all life is workable. As we learn to bow, we discover that the heart holds more freedom and compassion that we could imagine." - Jack Kornfield.

A Monk asked Chao-Chou, "What is the way?"

"The tall tree in the courtyard,"  Chao-Chou replied.

". . . there is no center, no extremes; there are no edges or corners. Life is perfectly round and frictionless." - Hong-Shi

Observe how nature reveals imperfections, challenges, and moments of wonder. 

How will you find your way?
