Repost Ruminate magazine: Found this note to myself from two years ago from one of my favorite spiritual nonfiction authors Robert Benson. Still learning about saying yes to rest and silence…hope I’m always learning.

Meditation and the Toothbrush
Thursday, December 3, 2015
I find it interesting watching people clean their teeth. This is not a regular pastime of mine I hasten to add, but from time to time I find myself visiting friends and we happen to pass in the evening as we get ready for bed, toothbrushes in hand. I believe that observing how people clean their teeth can give a glimpse into how their mind is working…at least in that moment.
Old Maui High - resting after an uphill bike ride in the wind.
Memories of a lovely Thanksgiving evening with family & friends.
On this Thanksgiving Day, feeling Gratitude for having The Downs in Bristol, England outside my front door when I was growing up. Fresh air and the abundance of nature to play in. A photograph from a visit there over the summer earlier this year.
Disconnecting from the world. Taking time out to recharge, reflect, take stock. Leaving behind the busyness of the world for a few hours, days, weeks - it will get by without you and will be there when you return. Making time for retreat. New on the blog (see link in my profile).
Introversion - In the Cradle of the Night
Friday, November 20, 2015
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night" ~ Solsbury Hill, by Peter Gabriel Solsbury Hill is an Iron Age Hill Fort to the East of the city of Bath in England. From the lyrics of this well-known song we know that Peter Gabriel is on the Hill with the darkness of night surrounding him.

Looking towards the West Maui’s.
Sunset on the roof of the world - Haleakala National Park. Freezing but beautiful.
Sunset at Keanae.
And so it starts, a couple of months enjoying my favorite coffee from my two favorite coffee shops in Portland, Sterling Coffee & Local Roasting Co - I miss having these guys just round the corner from me.
Thank you to Melissa for mailing these to me.
Introversion - Life in the Rear View Mirror
Saturday, October 24, 2015
When looking at my life as an introvert and HSP, I can spend a lot of time gazing into the rear view mirror. Why? Because for the greater part of my life I had no formal reference point with which to frame how I have felt in different situations. While growing up my heart knew what I wanted, what I felt comfortable with, how best I worked, the outside world gave me different messages.
Sunset over the West Maui Mountains.
View from The High Line in New York City this last summer.
Tree graveyard.
Sunset from the cliffs looking towards Ho’okipa.
