A Life Truly Lived

"A life that is being truly lived is constantly burning away the veils of illusion, gradually revealing the essence of the individual."

— Marion Woodman

The Echo of Ocean Waves

I've been having all my Amazon Echo Dots playing "Ocean Waves Ambient Sounds" throughout the apartment for several days and nights. Do I feel more serene and centered because of it? Or is it a kind of placebo effect? Ultimately it doesn't matter, actually. It helps me establish the mood and centeredness I'm striving for.

Moving Forward

As the pandemic has eased considerably, here are wise words to keep in mind going forward.

“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.”
— Arundhati Roy

And when the danger passed...

As the pandemic seems to be easing some and things are beginning to return to some kind of a "normal" please remember this and all the other things we've learned.

"And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.

"And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. 

And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed."
