Happy Wednesday everyone...
Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. ~Joseph Campbell

morning practice
sunrise
each morning when i rise, my eyes seek the tibetan prayer flags that hang in my backyard.
bathed by sun
drenched in rain
blown by wind
or covered in snow
each set is an impermanent, yet beautiful, constant in my life.
snow fall
earlier, i made these wishes for you, for all sentient beings and for me (i have learned that this is not an act of selfishness, but rather an act of self love).
may i be happy
may all beings be happy
may i know peace
may all beings know peace
may i move through the world with an open heart
may all beings move through the world with an open heart.
in peace,
mary jane
do you have a special way you begin your day?

here we are again -
can you believe we begin our 6 month countdown to the international day of peace
(or as it is also known, the 'culture of peace initiative')? i also like peace one day.
speaking for most of us, the days since sept. 21st of last year have held many challenges -
and challenges present opportunity.
if you are new here, welcome! i encourage you to scroll back to see the beautiful work that was hung and placed around the globe - it was incredibly moving and inspiring.
while surely our goal is to share the work we make in honor of peace, i would love to expand upon what we do here
to continue to have discussions, share insight on how you get to peace or where you get to from peace in your daily life... in your dark moments, what kept you whole? how do you share your joy?
it's connected, as are all beings
and i am hoping we can help each other.
our current culture is demanding and quick moving -
unnaturally so.
we seek balance
wholeness
happiness
love
serenity
security
understanding
community
we want to live, to be awake
many think it is unattainable.
but the way is through the heart
the way is through the heart
through the heart
the heart
like anything worth achieving, it takes practice -
but the community is in place
the safety net is present
you need only to reach out.
anyone may participate - just send us an email and you will be added as an author - we ask only that you be respectful of the intention of the blog & kind to those who share.
