Echoes...


This world is like a mountain.
Your Echo depends on you.
If you scream good things, the world will give it back.
If you scream bad things, the world will give it back.
Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him.
Change Your Heart to change the World.

“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” 
~William Blake~


if you were to take just several moments (or even just a minute if you're really pressed for time!), to notice exactly where you are right now in this very moment....just Feel Into It.....go ahead, just ONE MINUTE, try it;)  1 MINUTE TIMER
..........................................................................................revealing, isn't it?! 

Beautiful day to you! ~jeni

The Squirrel Ballet....

Imagine yourself as "Scrat" in this short clip and all the things you "have to do" as the acorns.  
Are you a Nutty Squirrel or a Zen Squirrel? 



This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

The bad news is you're falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. 
The good news is, there's no ground.
~Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche


I watch the above clip and see myself and all my "to-do's" in a different light....and Laugh!!!

May your relationship to Life be a Ballet of the Zen Squirrel (and not the Nutty;)

Love! ~jeni
