Forest Gym

Hao Ran, 10-weeks old, exploring the forest gym - gift from Grandma's friend.

Seems fascinated with the giraffe hanging from a tree branch...

Hang on, what's a giraffe doing hanging from a tree branch?!

Can't wait to show him a real giraffe...

A for Apple

"Of course we have to use words and thoughts. They have their own beauty - but do we need to become imprisoned in them?"

- Eckhart Tolle, "A New Earth - Awakening to Your Life's Purpose"


"The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality, the miracle of life that continuously unfolds within and around you."


"The fact is: You don't know what it is. You have only covered up the mystery with a label. Everything, a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being, is ultimately unknowable."

Who am I?

Hao Ran and Nyla...five days apart.

Thank you, Nad and Des, for the precious gift, they both look good in it!


'What you usually refer to when you say "I" is not who you are.'

Where am I?

"Heaven is not a location."

Ear!

Ear is for listening...

Ear is for listening closely...

Ear is for listening for the heart's deepest desires...

Ear is for listening to the silence, to the gaps between words...

One with Life

"There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One with Life.

Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you.

Life is the dancer, and you are the dance."

by Eckhart Tolle, "A New Earth - Awakening to Your Life's Purpose."
