It is to live with a refined attention to detail— the flowers of the season, the sound of water poured onto stone, the time at which evening turns to dusk— not because these things will enlarge the self but because they bring our lives into harmony with that which transcends the self. — Georgia O'Keefe

You are one of my nicest thoughts. — Georgia O'Keefe

Before Sleep

Open, unravel, reveal

The night spreads it legs

Wrestling wind in the trees

Yet this desire never begs

The moon blinks it's tired eye

Electricity chases it's tail

The stars reflect us here

This ship begins to sail

Allowing this to be

Mystery and pale dream

Laughing in yellow

This feeling is pure and green

My heart is a spoiled child

Always wanting me to play

My attention on you

Tempts my swerve to sway

My core trembles

Earthquakes and heavy showers

Music plays for you

Even in the quiet hours

Never alone

Lonely is never here

Bright fires burning fast

yet time is so sincere

I'm good at the moment

I can leave my hands alone

I can hear the bells ringing

nature has a perfect tone

A surge against silence

A knife against a plate

The thin thoughts of worry

 Never could gain weight

See what happens

Empty pockets to fill

Simple and pretty

Like flowers on a windowsill

-B.D.W.

Just so you know, there is no harm, misstep, violation, or disaster, that cannot be amended, balanced, corrected, or fixed. How cool is that?

The path to enlightenment is not a path at all, it’s actually a metaphor for the time it takes for you to allow yourself to be happy with who you already are, where you’re already at, and what you already have - no matter what. — Mike Dooley

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. — E.E. Cummings

Lady, I will touch you with my mind. Touch you and touch and touch… Until you give me suddenly a smile,shyly obscene” ― E.E. Cummings

Someone asked me what home was and all I could think of were the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside your ribcage. — E.E. Cummings

Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live. — Goethe

By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are and what you’ve achieved – and perhaps learned through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses – you actually can enhance everything about you.

Pay attention to your gut feelings. No matter how good something looks, if it does not feel right, listen to your intuition and move on.

You cannot control others, but you can control- and create- your own reality.

Our self-perception determines our behavior. If we think we’re small, limited, inadequate creatures, then we tend to behave that way, and the energy we radiate reflects those thoughts no matter what we do. If we think we’re magnificent creatures with an infinite abundance of love and power to give, then we tend to behave that way. Once again, the energy around us reflects our state of awareness. — Marianne Williamson

As your understanding of life continues to grow, you can walk upon this planet safe and secure, always moving forward toward your greater good. — Louise Hay

An authentically powered person lives in love. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love. — Gary Zukav
