Sunday Sketch: Share the Light

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.

~ Buddha

Sunday Sketch: What's Your Orange Today?

As we become curators of our own contentment on the Simple Abundance path...
we learn to savor the small with a grateful heart.

~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

Many, many years ago I remember an interview on television of a man who was dying of cancer.  He said that knowing his time was limited, he woke up every morning and slowly, slowly savored his daily orange... savoring the wetness of the juice, the texture of the pulp, the sweetness of such a common thing. 

Is that not the duty of those who live with a grateful heart?  Complex beauty lies all around us.. dressed in simplicity.  What will you taste today?

Sunday Sketch: You May Stack it Neatly

... it's still just baggage.

You can leave it unpacked.

Take it with you on new adventures.

But you won't have room for souvenirs.
