Choose a quote that resonates with you (you are not limited to this list) and explore it through art, photography, poetry, parable etc. :

“Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.”

“This moving away from comfort and security, this stepping out into what is unknown, uncharted, and shaky, that’s called liberation.”

“When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we can completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into it’s dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment.”

“Compassion for others begins with kindness to ourselves.”

“The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment.”

 “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” (Jan. 18th)

    • Sorry Dear, I’m going to have to do the prompts in future without either of the link apps … we’ll have to rely on pingbacks and tags.

      • That’ll work. At least with Pingbacks, links in comments, and/or tags you can see who is posting what. I have tended to do both the pingback and a link in the comment section just in case there were issues. Sometimes improvements well, they aren’t.
        WP added some stuff I wonder if that was the cause of the most resent grief? They changed the area around where you log out and have given you choices that, well don’t apply to most of what I do.

        What works best for the Host is nothing to ever be sorry for.

  8. This is my quote, from Start Where You Are: “When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it’s bottomless, that it doesn’t have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.”

    And here is my collage, called Heart expansion: https://aboutwhatmatters.wordpress.com/2014/12/28/beaming-love-to-the-world/
