~~Quiet Time~~
Still the mind
Slow your breath
Breath in
Breath out
So Simple
So difficult
Mind always racing
Soft breath
Hard breath
Breath in
Breath out
So simple
So difficult
~~

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate. Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive. I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1. Listing our current home the end of the first week in November. We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance. We just want to be able to live more and work less. Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there. 2. Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest. We will visit 5 countries along the way. One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany. My family left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young. Memories are almos
Thanks-I needed that.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful golden light in that photo. Makes me feel all warm and sleepy.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more Jo, so difficult indeed!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that, very hard...and yet, the harder it gets the more we need it. Blessings Pam
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. My quiet time means the world to me. Thanks for this.

Love the poem Jo
ReplyDeleteand that picture is stunning.
I especially love that Buddha lamp.
Meditation to quiet our storm.
I often need a reminder to quiet
the mind.
Of course I just woke up on
my lazy boy chair, yawn, that
was totally unintentional.
lol
hugs and blessings

gettin old here
Oh- You have that right- to still the mind- sounds simple but sooo very difficult- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI too love the photo Jo...
ReplyDeleteI don't force my meditations,
I just 'am' with it.
Letting thoughts come and go
at will until I am calm and
at peace...then it is quiet
and still. Breathing in
and breathing out...much
like taking a power nap,
He He He well, as Sharon
describes above.
May the Blessing of the
Morning Star light your
way this day...
