Human Incarnation

" Inevitably, maintaining our authenticity means constantly living within patterns and breaking patterns.  It is not about eliminating our humanness.  Not about eliminating our want to be loved, but curbing the stubborn ways we hurt and disrespect ourselves to get that love.   This involves recognizing the unhealthy patterns we fall into and correcting our course.   It is not helpful to label what doesn't work as bad and then strive to rid ourselves of our human flaws.   The aim is not to make ourselves pure and one-sided in our aliveness, but to inhabit all of who we are, living into the dilatations and constrictions of our strengths and weaknesses.  It is about learning how to live through being human, until the rhythm of being human can be celebrated as the magically imperfect vessel of Spirit that it is."  Mark Nepo

Moment

"One can appreciate & celebrate each moment — there’s nothing more sacred. There’s nothing more vast or absolute. In fact, there’s nothing more!"

Being Love

Let us now celebrate LOVE,
as if there is no time,
no place, no reason not to.
Let us BE love now.

L' Chiam

Means "To Life" - no matter what difficulty life brings, no matter how hard or painful or unfair life is, life is holy and worthy of celebration. 

Ecstatic Living

"I want it all.   I want the small daily joys.   I want to celebrate the birthdays, the graduations, and the days lived well, AND I want to experience the ecstasy, the vision of wholeness that dissolves my boundaries and lets me taste the God that lives within and around me.  I am a blessed woman, for I have lived both.   And I have learned that the ecstasy of mango juice on my tongue and union with Spirit are not as different as I once thought."  Oriah

Relationship

"Relationship is not a project, it is a grace.  Responding to the grace of relationship, it is important to appreciate, to give thanks, to honor, to celebrate, to tend, and to observe."   Thomas Moore

"Won't you celebrate with me?"

Celebration

"When we celebrate, we joyfully acknowledge and recognize the presence of some person, thing or achievement that delights us.   When you celebrate you are taking time to recognize, to open your eyes and behold in your life the quiet miracles and gifts that seen no attention; yet each day they nourish, shelter and animate your life."   John O' Donahue
