Meditation Mount


During my two weeks of housesitting, I had another guest. My friend Royce, who hasn't spent much time in Ojai, came up for a visit. I knew I had to take him to one of my favorite places ... Meditation Mount. It's so beautifully landscaped against the backdrop of the valley, and the hills and mountains in the distance. It is constantly changing with the light and with the seasons.

It had been cloudy and rained a couple of days prior to our visit but the skies cleared and it was simply gorgeous.

The world is healed
one loving thought at a time.

~Marianne Williamson








Joy has no cost.

~Marianne Williamson








Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.
The real miracle is the love that inspires them.
In this sense
everything that comes from love
is a miracle.

~Marianne Williamson

















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.

~Pema Chodron








Every moment is unique, unknown, completely fresh.

~Pema Chodron
