Meditation_ferns_d296

Too often we think we can’t accomplish something grand like what we hear on the news because we can’t see that it began as something much more simple. Every great novel or movie script or mechanical invention because with something simple like a sentence that probably isn’t even part of the finished product. Have you made a start?

Meditation_camellia_d468

Taken in pieces there really isn’t anything that outstanding about this camellia flower – it’s doesn’t have an unusual color or shape or even number of petals.  It’s not particularly small or really gigantic and yet somehow it commands attention. Do you view yourself in terms of the pieces or the overall?

willow_meditation_5309Most trees seem to come with inner springs so that they can flex and bend with the weight of ice and snow or wind and yet still stand tall.  Do you have give in your attitudes when presented with an unexpected storm?

waterfall_meditation_1859

Most self-improvement and spiritual language speaks in terms of ‘up’ as the positive direction we should be seeking and yet have you noticed that water always seeks lower ground? Going with the flow may just mean letting gravity take over once in awhile…

Meditation_0189

Looking out an airplane window is the closest most of us can get to an alien world.  Even with some weather variation there is a surreal sameness to the landscape – basically because there are no obstacles: trees, mountains, buildings, people.

What things in life are you wishing weren’t there, but you might really miss if all of them were absent?
