Mindfulness and Yoga Sutras
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
Patanjali
Consciousness and Travel
“To venture causes anxiety, but not
to venture is to lose one’s self… and to venture in the highest is precisely to be conscious of one’s self.”
Søren Kierkegaard
Oceans of Life
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
Jacques Yves Cousteau
Nature and Nurture
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David Thoreau
We discover the world as we discover ourselves
These Marc Chagall stain glass windows are in All Saints’ Church, Tudeley.
Sarah the daughter of Sir Henry and Lady D’Avigdor-Goldsmid was drowned in a sailing accident off Rye, East Sussex. In her memory, the couple commissioned the Belarusian-French artist Marc Chagall to design a stained glass window for the church. When Chagall arrived for the dedication of the east window in 1967, and saw the church for the first time, he exclaimed “C’est magnifique! Je les ferai tous!” (“It’s magnificent! I will do them all!”)
Let’s experience the journey to beauty and self-esteem
The gates were the entrance to Black Ladies, a place I used to stay, when working in nearby Four Ashes.
Black Ladies Priory was a house of Benedictine nuns, located about 4 km west of Brewood in Staffordshire, on the northern edge of the hamlet of Kiddemore Green. Founded in the mid-12th century, it was a small, often struggling, house. It was dissolved in 1538, and a large house was built on the site in Tudor and Jacobean styles by the Giffard family of Chillington Hall. Much of this is incorporated in the present Black Ladies, a large, Grade II*-listed, private residence.
Journey Together
It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens, how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard.
CARL ROGERS
