Finding Quiet Strength

Finding Quiet Strength is a portal into that state of consciousness that allows us to find presence, a unified field of attention that takes in ourselves and the world around us. So much of the time we are narrowed in our thinking, locked inside our own habitual perceptions, unable to change though we do our best to concentrate hard, try to get things right, please others and strive busily and ineffectively. We have forgotten the golden rule to stop, to raise our head to the sky, to allow our eyes to see and breathe in the beauty of the world around us that sustains us.
