Earth Hour 2009

Today is Earth Hour . What better way to spend that hour than beside an object easy to focus on, meditation for peace . Just a thought. OmOmOm

Flowers in the sun

At Jacob Riis Park today:a lovely window full of geranium flowers drinking up the sunshine . What could be more serene than that? 

peace at the beach

I found this while walking on the beach at Montauk Point with my mom today. I recognized it as a peace symbol right away but she was not so sure. What do you think? 

an image to meditate on

I found this photo in a Smith & Hawken catalog and saved it. Loved it but for the logo. I finally got around to matting it, gold leafing the mat and framing it this week. So serene. Back when I did yoga regularly I found just looking at a photo of someone doing an asana or in meditation was enough to soothe me. So I like surrounding myself with peaceful & beautiful images. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May the luck of the Irish be with you today & always!

The beauty of moss

Moss is one of THE most peaceful plants I know of. So gentle & soft & slow growing. & it comes in so many shades of green! If I was ever lucky enough to have my own garden, a section of it would be devoted to moss & ferns. There is something lush & lyrical about them. 

Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all! I happen to love Valentines Day because it focuses on LOVE. I would like to think it is really about all love. So don't get swept away or turned off by the romantic love aspect. Just broaden your definition to include love of all things. I think great peace can be found in avoiding narrow definitions and by being inclusive. Remember, all you need is love. 

"L" : love with all your heart
