Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who come alive.
Howard Thurman
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

ReplyDeleteand frightened. Don't open the door to the study

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

ReplyDeleteKarin ... I've been very much in retreat ... I sense that you are, too ... Even though I've not been in touch lately, you're in my thoughts every day ... This creation is exquisite ... Love you ... xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful piece of work brings to mind the Buddhist practice of prostrations... something I'm intimately familiar with.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about the act of bowing, and humbling oneself to the world or whatever, that is quite profound when approached with love and gratitude.
Just gorgeous, Karin!
Oh Karin this is breathtaking. It feels tranquil, sacred, hushed ....
ReplyDeletelike entering a temple.
Thank you everyone,
ReplyDeleteYou've all hit on the essence of what I feel and tried to express - reverence, humility, surrender, acceptance, release through yogic prostration...
I bow again and again, to life on this earth, to that which I have no power over, to the suffering of so many, knowing it all is as it is just to be present to the All.
with love, Karin
Oh Karin you are so brave.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a day from Hell and this morning was pretty bad too.
I honour you in my heart dear one.
xoxo
sending love to you...
