Lovely!
And this?
“They enable us to go beyond what we thought we were capable of, and then we find the infinite possibilities of love.”
Yes.

Love the dance floor on the head of the pin.
Love the interview. Your wisdom always helps me find my center and lets me release my shoulders from around my ears.
And I was surprised to find St Pete in your list. It’s where I am, but it always feels like just a stopping point, and I truly consider myself a NYer. But then, I guess I should pay attention to here and now in this sandy, lush green, and steamy city.

Seems there is enough there to get to everywhere. But I was still glad to see me.

And we heart Momma Zen here in Phuket!
Ok, totally off topic here. Karen, what’s your Zen view of this whole Large Hadron Collider/particle accelerator thing? It’s set to be switched on Sept 10. Just curious!

Thank you for reminding me to pay attention today!
And, I’m on the list!

Karen, when you have a moment, head over to my latest post please. Thank you for your wisdom. Cat

You remind me of an old rock and roll song by Deep Purple…
“What a Whole Lotta Love”
Love to you from north Alabama

It is a blessing to be on your list, on anybody’s list. Gotta make my own list too! Thanks also for the reminder that we have the power to bless others with our words.
Blessings on you and your partner and your happy chlid.
