 At times when I feel overwhelmed, 
at wit's end, 
with storms swirling around me,
I remember to surrender to the awareness
of pure understanding. With eyes wide open, 
I stand...and I rest
in the bright, calming center. ~ ATB

'Yakety Yak, Yakety Yak'...don't talk back. 
Many voices, many choices of words that might be spoken...spoken, but not heard through the chatter...of my mind, or yours. Why won't we listen? Really listen, to each other. Maybe then, we'd understand. ~ ATB

 A place of peace resides within me, a place that I call my healing garden, where I may walk and talk, laugh and just BE. I SEE me in this garden, among the towering trees, along the flowing stream, in the valley of the mountain. I cross the bridge to this beautiful place each day in my thoughts, prayers and meditations. From this peaceful place, I return refreshed, renewed, revived, revitalized...and ready to reengage with my world. ~ ATB

 My totem tree is with me always. Even though it's been cut down because someone else thought it was dead and of no use, I found it artistic and inspiring. While it saddened me that it's no longer visible in the here and now, I'm gladdened that I have photographs to remind me. I carry its spirit along in my heart, in my meditations, and in my imagination on my daily walks. In my mind, it is always there, always beautiful, and always sharing its wisdom. ~ ATB
