PEACEFUL ABIDING

For a few minutes, I close my eyes and slow my pace. Whatever is happening, whatever is changing, whatever is going or not going according to my plans -- I release my hold on all of it. I leave behind who I think I am, who I want to be, what I want the world to be. I come home to the great peace of the present moment.........

Posted What I'm Reading Now earlier.

Here is a little snippet from the book:

"We are all half-baked experiments-mistake-prone beings, born without an instruction book in a complex world. None of us are models of perfect behavior: we've been known to be egotistical, unreliable, lethargic, and stingy; and each one of us has, at times, awakened in the middle of the night worrying about everything from money, kids, or terrorism to wrinkled skin and receding hairlines. In other words, we're all bozos on the bus.
This, in my opinion, is cause for celebration. If we're all bozos, then for God's sake, we can put down the burden of pretense and get on with being bozos."

So far I am digging this book.

WHAT AM I READING NOW?

I haven't really been reading much lately. Just kind of been more into crafting lately I guess. I do got some new (old novels) coming from eBay (yeah eBay is my friend) so I will probably be reading more now. I found a sight about the best novels or novels you should read before you die or something like that so I got a bunch of books coming. Can you say HELLO WINTER READING?

I picked this book up at the grocery store. It just caught my attention & my mood.

Broken Open by Elizabeth Lesser. I'm only about 4 chapters in, but I find her very intriguing.
