A Window is Where the Wall is Absent
The life impulse to express and to connect arises in me and in all of us. This blog is a celebration of these life impulses. Please feel free to join in the conversation or to just visit. There is a Family Photo Album beneath the posts so you can "meet" my family and I. Welcome!

Hi Colleen,
I watched that video with my dad. We were both very impressed - the Universe is massive! Thank you for posting the video.
Warm wishes,
Shamash
I'm glad you and your dad enjoyed it. It definitely expanded my sense of marvel at this cosmos. I also meant to mention I'm glad you are writing a Mindfulness for Dummies book, that will help a lot of people. At the hospital where I work we have mindfulness classes for the patient's every day and it helps enormously. Thanks for visiting, Colleen
This engenders a sense of wonder about the universe...thanks so much Colleen. I posted to my FB. Aloha
It's ironic how feeling so small also engenders a sense of nobility and gratitude- it is such an honor to part of a cosmos of such magnificence and splendor. Thanks for visiting Aliman.
