Magical Meditation Mount

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens.
~Carl Jung

Back in April I took my Frenchman up to Mount Mount. A perfect place to take someone at "magic hour," on a visit to Ojai. It had been an overcast cloudy day, but as we drove up to the Mount ... suddenly blue skies and painterly, majestic cloud formations ...

It was a beautiful visit and a magical day! I hope you enjoy it too!

The future is always beginning now.
~Mark Strand

When you realize there is nothing lacking,

the whole world belongs to you.

~Lao Tzo

Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. 

It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment.

We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources

for insight, transformation and healing.

~Jon Kabat-Zinn

With mindfulness, 
you can establish yourself in the present
in order to touch the wonders of life
that are available in that moment.
~Thich Naht Hanh

Have a magical, mindful day!
Blessings and light!

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.
