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!

Pure beingness
"...there is somebody here, some pulsing alive loving being, that has nothing to do with your life experience or your opinions or your value system."
Jan Frazier
It is possible to inhabit this emptiness of sheer being, even in the tumult of the busiest day.
In any case, this alive being, this true nature, is fully here at all times, whether it is noticed or not.
~
Gratitude to Jan Frazier, quote is from essay, "The New Adventure". http://www.janfrazierteachings.com/blog/index.php?s=The+New+Adventure&searchsubmit=Go
