Whole Living

As life in this grand U.S.A. reaches

a very tough and chaotic climate,

be careful who you point the

finger at for your woes.

This is a bi-partisan fiasco,

and we are all complicit.

Time to nut-up, & stop being

a nation of ‘whingers’

Yes, everyone is feeling worried and confused

about how everything became so appalling.

It’s at a point where we need to step back,

& find our strength. The strength within.

Mom used to say,

"The more you do, the more you can do."

We can reclaim the our lives.

About 1 month after Mom passed away,

I came across a list of basic thoughts
which helped me gently re-focus.

10 Thoughts on Whole Living
(from body & soul ~ September 2005)
1. Imagination is a sense, not a gift.

We all have the inner genius to create.

2. Touch is a powerful healing tool;

use it lovingly & often.
3. Think of money as energy; use it to empower,

not control, your life.
4. A simple cup of tea can teach us

the importance of ritual.
5. Give deeply – whether it is noticed or not.
6. Find something sacred in your day, every day.
7. A daily walk can reengage your body & mind.
8. Before summer’s end, connect your soul to the earth

with a healthy, bountiful feast.
9. Allow your body to unwind every evening.
10. Passion does not get lost – just abandoned.
It’s never too late to find it again.
