Recently, I published our (Ron’s and mine) definition for Peace of Mind.  One of the commenter's agreed with the general principles of the definition, but this individual had their own ideas also.  My reply was “That is wonderful, we are different.”  Another commenter said, “thought provoking it ...

We just returned from clearing half of our storage room.  My arms are aching from lifting boxes.  This trio of three colors of irises which I bought yesterday tightly furled are opening up.  They lifted my spirits  and soul immediately!  What in your life is calling you, When all the noise is sil...

We spotted this lemon tree growing in the back lot of the Buddhist Temple in Santa Barbara, where we study and practice Qigong, the medical branch of Tai-Chi.  It was begging to be picked! Each lemon was a work of art. I obliged by picking one.  “When life gives you lemons...add melted butter , t...

We bought these tulips on Friday!  They had just been delivered.  We made sure the buds were tightly closed, so that we could delight in watching them open!  There is such joy in witnessing the blooming process in all living things!  A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle t...

It was time for us to buy new orchids for our home. We spotted this lovely phaleanospsis, at Westerlay's Orchids in Carpinteria (pictured above).  It just had been brought out of the warehouse.  The color alone took our breath away!  Of course, we had to bring it home, along with a couple more to...

One of our favorite quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh describes our walking meditation.  It is something we practice as we walk on Sandyland beach, as often as possible.  “Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.” There ...
