reflecting...


how do you feel inside when you see injustice? do you think that it is your responsibility to do or say something or do you prefer to remain silent?  and if you choose to remain silent, is it because you think that freedom of speech is merely an illusion? or because you think that it is not your responsibility to do or say something? or is there some other legitimate reason that you choose to remain silent?  tell me, how do you feel inside when you see injustice? hmmmm...

i often ask myself these questions.  when pain and suffering reign so prevalently around the world.  challenges abound from every corner. oppression. slavery. human trafficking. all forms of discrimination and abuse. genocides. wars. homelessness. hunger. starvation. abject poverty - worse than the kind most people think of as poor.  yes.  these conditions still exist for so many in this world we live in today.  the thought of people, human beings, living under such inhumane, distressed conditions tear at the very walls of my heart.  i sit with these thoughts, and the feelings they evoke. i sit with them and i look at them deeply.  and i know, with all that i am, that it's just not within me to remain silent. (exhale).

mindfulness bell...

the seas were rough
the winds were raging
but the sound of her bell
instantly calmed my soul

what's calming your soul today?

small things...

when i opened my eyes this morning
and looked outside my window
i fell on my knees and gave thanks
for being able to see.  exhale.

~ ~ ~

it's the small things in life...  

One thing I treasure immensely here in our blogging community is the friendships I've formed with so many of you.  Nurturing those friendships really mean the world to me.  Today, I'm sneaking off to my dear friend Tracey's spot, Quietly Kickin and Screamin, to pay her a little surprise visit.    

would you like to come along with me?

breathe...

breathing in, i inhale peace
breathing out, i calm my fears
be still, se'lah. breathe.

in the air...

the sweet scent of flowers that refuse not to bloom
leaves dance in unison to the wind in nearby treetops
the smell of fresh raindrops pitter patter on the pavement
birds chirping blissfully welcome autumn's arrival in song
while prayers sent up to the Most High, float gently
in the air



have a conscious friday and a divine weekend, dear friends.

one love, always.
