The Journey

Standing on an empty highway

surrendering to the mystery 

collecting treasures and memories

leaving parts of ourselves behind

forever wondering what is around the corner

destination is never the end 

but a new beginning

 Here we are 2021

I have been on a journey since 2015. One that has been a magic carpet ride. 

My entire life changed in a blink of an eye. Just like a stream that passes around or over boulders so does one's life journey.

You will never be prepared for it. It happens as fast as a slip on a slippery rock in the creek. One of many lesson that I have learned. My favorite practice has been "The art of letting go".

Letting go little by little has allowed me to return home. Transformation is a long twisty goat path. The more I stumbled , the more practice I got in letting go.

Mothers Day

There is beauty at home. a person does not have to go far to find inspiration or beauty, one simply needs to look at things with a new attitude. The things we take for granted are passed by, we forget to stop and smell the flowers. We forget to take a deep breath and open our eyes and look around us when we step out the front door. I want to share my mother in law's garden with you, this is what she calls home.

There are many rhododendron plants that flower at different times of the season.

The variety of colors are breath taking.

Which one is your favorite?
