SPIRIT
Know Thyself
| To me spirit has always seemed to be a paradox. You learn that each spirit is unique yet connected to the whole and really part of the collective. You are told to drop the ego and allow one's spirit to come forth. To Be. |

In our fast paced world I find it difficult to just Be. I was taught to always be doing "something" which may conflict with just "being". Mind chatter seems to also be a barricade to allowing spirit to seep through. It is shocking to discover that what you thought was your spirit shining through is actually conditioned responses. |

| Why even dwell on the idea of spirit? I have been a seeker since my teenage years trying to understand "spirit". While I certainly don't have many answers I have discovered some pathways where one's spirit might float to the top, above all the conditioning. |

"Wherever there is a human being, there is the opportunity for a kindness."

I would even take it one step further and say "Walk in kindness." This changes everything including your energy body. And through the shift to an open heart, spirit rises, and you really begin to understand both your uniqueness and connection to ALL life. |

| This section of my site is devoted to spiritual aspects of life. As I age I find myself wanting to speak my mind about certain subjects, some everyday things, while other thoughts linger on the fringe of society. My Essays and Moments in Time reflect some of my interests other then quilting. |

Poems are a marvelous energy to tap into and I encourage you to try it.
Finally, to help you "BE" I have a Meditate section of my photographs and some quotes to ponder, relax and allow spirit to rise. Thank you for visiting. Peace |
