“If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you’re laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.”
-Miranda Kerr

Relax (1)
As an avid hiker I am on an endless search for places or views that promote my inner peace and give me a chance to relax. I believe this photo speaks for itself!!!!
“Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.” William S. Burroughs
Recluse
A question pondered
Cerebral ice a thin line,
Seclusion, exile,
Razor sharp reality
A burden imposed by one
Alone
Standing on the road
Cars rush by, antiquated
Faces, empty and blank,
Stare back, sadness is the tale,
Eyes, vacant and lonely, see
My Friend
My friend
Lies by my side,
Chest rising and falling
In rhythmic madness, eyes shifting
As dreams invade his being, his
Breath reasurring, calm,
Bringing peace to
Us all
A New Day
Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a nasty morning with some snow and a little wintry mix here in the Hudson Valley of New York, but today is beautiful. A little chill in the air but the sky is blue with some wisps white. It’s a new day! I thought today I would share some of my favorite quotes with you to get you started and to think about the promise that each new day brings. I hope that you enjoy them!
“Today is a new day. It’s a day you have never seen before and will never see again. Stop telling yourself the ‘same crap, different day’ lie! How many days has that lie stolen from you? Seize the wonder and uniqueness of today! Recognize that throughout this beautiful day, you have an incredible amount of opportunities to move your life into the direction you want it to go.”
-Steve Maraboli
“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”
-Buddha
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
-Buddha
“Worrying doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles. It takes away today’s peace.”
-Dalai Lama
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
— Marcus Aurelius
Peace!!!
Time
The sands of time move
Quickly through the hour glass
Of a forgotten
Era, granules slipping,
Falling, asking for nothing
A Soft Sunrise
Fractured rays of light,
Nebulous sunrise provides
Diverse beginnings,
The new day sliding along
A razor thin precipice
Snowfall
Quiet calm sweeps over the woods as
Peaceful fluffy flakes softly fall.
Wrapped in a cloak of winter,
Each inhabitant surveys the new landscape,
As an unspoiled white blanket awaits.
First (Real) Snow?
Thick clouds rolling in
Winters tale will soon be told
Falling softly now
Children smile, hoping, seeking
The fallacy of lost time
