Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance. ~Andrea Boydston



Focusing on the act of breathing clears the mind of all daily distractions and clears our energy enabling us to better connect with the Spirit within. ~Author Unknown



I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am. ~Sylvia Plath



Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured. ~B.K.S. Iyengar



There is no god higher than truth. ~Mahatma Gandhi



Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's. ~Billy Wilder



Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out. ~Michael Burke

Breathing is like yin and yang. The in breath is receptive and feminine and the out breath is masculine. We can attach mantras to such actions bringing in the new and forgiving the old to be recycled once again.

That's a powerful first quote, Sylvia! I love them all.

Just recently saw the movie Sylvia about Sylvia Plath. worth seeing. Quite a passionate young lady. I see you quoted your namesake. Also the humor made me chuckle tonight. Thanks as always for your support. Lee

Great Billy Wilder quote, and is it me or are those pictures extra breathtaking this evening? I have been doing meditation tapes and breathing exercises to help me sleep. Remarkable.

Incredible photos and you're making me want to take yoga now. My son-in-law sent me a bunch of yoga videos and my son gave me a yoga mat. Maybe it's time.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
