Pooh's Wisdom
“‘When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last, ‘What’s the first thing you say to yourself?’
‘What’s for breakfast?’ said Pooh. ‘What do you say, Piglet?’
‘I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?’ said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. ‘It’s the same thing,’ he said.”

"A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror."

“In this moment I am free, I am guided,
allowing everything to be.”
"Many tribes of a modern kind doing brand new work same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hands and ancestral twine, ancestral twine"- Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd
QUESTIONS
Albert Einstein said
"What you see on the screen of your mind, is a preview of life’s forthcoming attractions."
Now, imagine your perfect future. What does it look, smell, sound like? How does it make you feel?
How do you experience love?
What is your definition of love?
"Who do you want to be, if you were totally honest with yourself?"
What is a life well-lived to you?
"What you see is who you are."
It all depends upon the glasses you wear. It all depends upon your beliefs. You are what you believe.
So what do you see? And who then are you?
PROSE
From the Grandmothers
“In order to build a reservoir of power,” the Grandmothers said, “you must spend time in silence and there, in the stillness of your heart, turn toward presence. Simply breathe in presence,” they directed. “It is in your feet, it is in and on your skin. It is your own divine self. You can feel it in your hair and on your shoulders. It’s everywhere. You hold presence and are held by it. And as you focus on it, you will grow in power.” Then they added, “If we are to work through you, the presence within you must increase…..
“There is nothing you must say about any of this,” they said, “nor is there anything you must do. We remind you to simply move into silence and live in presence. That is it. Although the focus of our work is not specifically on action,” the Grandmothers said, “sometimes action will be called for. And though our work is not accomplished through words,” they said, “sometimes words must be spoken. Real work is done by being,” they emphasized, “not by doing. Instead of just talking and acting, move into the power of silence and once there, open to the vibration of presence.
“Your mind wants to control things, because of its need,” the Grandmothers said, “it wants to be busy but your spirit wants to be free. It doesn’t want to cling. Your spirit knows its home,” they said, nodding gently, “and its home is in expansion. The expansion of your heart will give you the greatest joy of your life. The heart cannot be expanded when it’s in a static and controlled environment” they said…. “So, let go of all that now, and move into the still point within yourself. Move into the power of silence.” And smiling benignly, the Grandmothers said,
