Hi Lisa, Thanks for your lovely comment. It’s nice to know that my meanderings are actually read once in a while

Lori, lovely post. I have Pocketbook editions of both the Tao Te Ching and The Dhammapada in my purse – a leftover habit from my days living in NYC, when I was frequently stuck in lines or on mass transit, and needed a way to lift my attention. I think they are both such beautiful classics, that are inspiring and thought-provoking no matter how many times you turn to them.
As for solitude, I think you nailed it here. Finding those moments, and sometimes even fighting the urge to be with others if it is just out of habit, is such an important way to center ourselves. I have always been a big solitude person (maybe from growing up as an Air Force brat, and moving a lot, not sure?), and now with kids, I have to make that extra effort to get the alone time I need. Namaste- Lisa

This is the first post I’ve read since you returned and, of course, I LOVED IT! I love your honesty and the gift you have for expressing yourself so candidly, yet warmly. One of my fave parts about this post? You and the coffee. The smell alone of coffee is a treat, but I must admit to enjoying my first cuppa (or two) every morning, too … which I do do, by the way, about 2 hours before Boy arises = my quiet alone time every day.

Can there truly be anything “ordinary”, including you, in the divinity of creation? I think not! If you are ordinary, then the Creator must be also, for you cannot be separate or less than It is…though indeed you can perceive yourself as such. Just a thought…love the site!
