Quote - Uncovering the Whisper

image credit

Affirmations are like screaming that you're okay in order to overcome this whisper that you're not. That's a big contrast to actually uncovering the whisper, realizing that it's a passing memory, and moving closer to all those fears and all those edgy feelings that maybe you're not okay.
Well, no big deal. None of us is okay and all of us are fine. It's not just one way. We are walking, talking paradoxes.  ~Pema Chödrön

Quote - Praise

image credit

The fire has its flame and praises God. 
The wind blows the flame and praises God. 
In the voice we hear the word which praises God. 
And the word, when heard, praises God.
So all of creation is a song of praise to God. 
~Hildegard of Bingen

Quote - Movements of Dance

image credit

The existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds.
To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance.
A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, 
Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.  ~Buddha

Quote - The Heart Appoints

I will not hide my tastes or aversions.
I will so trust that what is deep is holy, 
that I will do strongly before the sun and moon 
whatever only rejoices me, 
and the heart appoints.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lately

I signed up for three different online classes for the month of August and have been wondering how I will have enough time to devote to them plus stay active here. Along comes Susannah with the answer...

The August Break
Challenge accepted.

:: She Reads ::

Callings by Gregg Levoy and The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch (audiobook)

:: She Creates ::

I worked in the backyard all weekend cleaning it up so I didn't have much time to create. I was able to make a few pages for my creative dream journal.








Have a great week!

Hugs,
