Mindfulness Monday – Joel Osteen

wise words quoted by a wise woman

Picnic with Ants

“When nobody else celebrates you,
learn to celebrate yourself.
When nobody else compliments you,
then compliment yourself.
It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged.
It’s up to you.
Encouragement should come from inside.”

~ Joel Osteen

“You may have made a lot of wrong choices,
but you’ve also made a lot of choices that were right.
Focus on your good qualities.
Focus on your victories.
Get off the treadmill of guilt.”

~ Joel Osteen

Future Pasts Complimentary Po.em

Another commentary po.em well crafted by Mark from our commentary string. Reblogged without reading as I am still composing my po.ems from the same string where time unspooled, rainbow puddles splashed, and we traveled through the universe. So, more to come from me (and from Mark, I suspect)

Coloring Outside the Lines

Days of reckoning, days of glory?

Finish lines in moving sand

Vaulting into hyperspace

Passing future pasts

Foot race to reason

Across ribbon candy fantasy land

Another commentary po.em from Lorraine andmyself. Her words are italicIzed. More of her words are located at https://myfrillyfreudianslip.wordpress.com and http://25wordsmoreorless.wordpress.com

Mindfulness Monday – Meditation

Another excellent Mindfulness Monday. David Lynch, even. Hard to believe that there will be a remake of Twin Peaks!

“The thing about meditation is:
You become more and more you.”

~ David Lynch

“Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw
ourselves away and become something better.
It’s about befriending who we are already.”

~ Pema Chodron

“Meditation is the breath of your soul.
Just a breathing is the life of the body,
meditation is the life of the soul.”

~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
