Nonviolence

Nonviolence begins with respect, not only for humans, but also for the Earth, the plants and the animals. Thank you joy of being.

Apache Blessing

”May the sun bring you energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being.
May you walk gently through the world
and know its beauty all the days of your life.”

Every breath

A living path

I walk a Living Path. May I honor precious moments of meeting, no matter how fleeting.

Present

Often, not more words are needed, but someone truly listening. Non-judgmental listening is a healing present to both, the part that expresses and the part who listens.

Flowers

Flowers are always singing, even when they are withered. Flowers enjoy their lives constantly. They have knowledge of transformation, not of death. Flowers do not suffer and they never compare themselves.

Trust in life

Let us have patience. Every false path is like a blind alley. With the presence of humility and receptivity comes guidance and protection in experience and trust in Live grows. Beloved are we, all together.

Practice of peace

"Most important is to become nonviolence, so that when a situation presents itself, we will not create more suffering. To practice nonviolence, we need gentleness, loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity directed to our bodies, our feelings, and other people. With mindfulness--the practice of peace--we can begin by working to transform the wars in ourselves."

Thich Nhat Hanh

Spirit of the valley

"In the valley of countless flowers, roots mingle. Wars begin on mountaintops. Peace comes from the spirit of the valley."

Fred Lamotte

Inter-connectedness

Inter-connectedness is. It lets us experience the beauty and wholeness of living, all brokenness included.

Being present

I act for the good of all, when I generate the energy of attentiveness, understanding and compassion for my wounded child.

Shared humanity

"Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”
