It is as it should be

An online marketplace for selling and buying all things handmade!
It's like shopping at the artists market, but from your own home.
I discovered the website just in time for Christmas and along with my
trip to Blue Banana Market in Toronto, have managed to get almost everyone on
my list home made gifts.
Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift!
We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness
to ourselves and others.
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see.
The Question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky.
We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we
breathe can be a source of joy.
We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness
that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years
for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive at the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in
the present moment. ... Thich Nhat Hanh

post a commentWhat struggle? If there is no conflict why would there be struggle. If you don't try to escape from suffering would there be conflict or struggle? Life is suffering. To live is to suffer.
"To transcend the struggle one must first experience the struggle."
...without the intention of of "going" somewhere...the willingness to "die"
:)
Why die when you can suffer. There's no one struggling or suffering -- just suffering.
That's life!
My, my Kelly! What a great change! Shivaite blue, I suppose. Something more peaceful and spacious, it seems. Yes, I agree with you, you and I are one. Don't worry, just my projection. I just fell in love with you! No projection please.
Also thanks for the link to Da Vinci's notebook; I appreciate that.
So what are you up to? ;>)
