Awareness Is Like the Sun

"Awareness is like the sun.

When it shines on things, they are transformed."

~ Thich Nhat Hahn

Hardly Time to Breathe

Saying goodbye to the morning moon...

"Life comes in clusters, 

clusters of solitude, 

then a cluster when there is 

hardly time to breathe. 

~ May Sarton

Carry With Thee Always

"Make two homes for thyself... 

One actual home... 

and another spiritual home, 

which thou art to carry with thee always." 

~ St. Catherine of Siena

Two homes. An actual home and spiritual home. We all live with this inner and outer reality. What we carry inside we carry wherever we go.

Happy to be home from an extended stay in New York City. Obviously by this dawn, my Asheville sun missed me as much as I missed it. And this light, dear sun on the ridge, I carry with me always.

A close-up is always called for...
