Dear Ones,
Let us be at peace within ourselves.
Let us accept that we are profoundly loved and need never be afraid.
Let us be aware of the source of being that is common to us all, and to all living creatures.
Let us be filled with the presence of the Great Compassion towards ourselves and towards all living beings.
Realising that we are all nourished from the same source of life, may we so live that others be not deprived of air, food, water, shelter, or the chance to live.
Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be a cause of suffering to one another.
With humility let us pray for the establishment of peace in our hearts and on earth.
May the Beloved kindle in us the fire of love to bring us alive and give warmth to the world.
And may you find wonder in every ordinary day.
I’ll see you in the next microseason,
xo Ann

Thanks MF 💚
I swear I could smell the air in these photos. I've been working on creating diptychs with my collage/photography for a class I'm in and it looks as though you've created them here, effortlessly with nature. Beautiful Ann, I'm inspired!
