You've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night. Irving Berlin song. Let's sing about these things.

Inspiration for your life. You are a breath of wind, a whisper in eternity, part of an incredible process of flow.

We are candles throwing our light in the winds of change.

Learn from the wind. New book: "What the Wind Told Me: 21 Inspirational Messages."

Your life is a play. All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. (Shakespeare: 'As You LIke It') The main thing to keep in mind is that what we are, what we say, what we think and what we do are important because these things impact not only our own play, but other people’s plays as well.

There is nothing we can hold onto forever. Unravelling is woven throughout existence. Even stars die.

No one owns the land. We just fool ourselves that we do. We are custodians. We’re here to care for the land, share it, and walk lightly on it.

Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. (Eckhart Tolle)

Mix priorities with simple pleasures. Life isn’t made up of just major things. It’s packed with minor things too, like mundane tasks and simple pleasures.

What is our real work? Why are we here? All we can do is live one step at a time. Take one breath at a time. Live moment by moment.

When we're on our hands and knees weeding we can find heaven in a tiny flower, just like William Blake did.

Life isn't a fairy tale. Just wishing things would change is a waste of time. Examine the situation to see if there is something you could do, say or be that would change it. If not, accept it.

There’s no one else / there’s nothing else / can move the dust but you. (Leonard Cohen) Psychological dust is composed of tiny, highly reproductive, negative, long-living, unhelpful thoughts that we coat ourselves with.

If you ever feel overwhelmed by changes in your life, switch your focus to the unchanging part of yourself. Hold the ever-changing (waves) within the unchanging (mountain)and you will find a way through.

The alchemist secret to finding gold instead of lead in your life is to see or sense what else is happening around, or within, or as a result of, an event. Every moment holds potential gold.

Nothing is mundane. Everthing we do is amazing. The fact that we exist is astonishing.

Tony Bennett’s song “If I Ruled the World”. Every day would be the first day of spring, everyone would sing for joy in the morning and everyone would smile all day. But we need summer, autumn and winter as well as spring, and no matter how hard we hope, not every day brings joy on the breakfast tray.

Fill your day with the little things. It’s satisfying to have goals listed so we have a general direction to head for, but goals are just a part of the whole.

International Day of Silence. Richard Rohr quote: "Silence always makes everything larger, deeper, More patient, and more compassionate."

A simple and painless cure for negative thoughts. Go outside and look at the sky.
