“The longer I wake on this Earth, the louder the quiet things speak to me. The more I experience and survive, the more I find truth in the commonalities we all share. The more pain softens me, the deeper my joy and the greater the lessons of those things that live in great stillness.”
~Mark Nepo
A beautiful meditation accompanies his writing:
- Sit quietly and consider your thoughts as leaves and your heart as a tree.
- Breath slowly, and try to listen to the soil you share with everything.
- Breath deeply, and meditate on what is oldest in you.

Vicki, thank you for sharing. This really speaks to me during my current “life adventure”!
Jedn, so glad I opted to follow the energy to post today! Thinking of you – and hoping to see you Monday – REALLY!
A beautiful practice Vicki 💕
I thought so, too, Karen…
“consider your thoughts as leaves and your heart as a tree” … a beautiful way of learning to let go of our thoughts. Beautiful.
So glad you appreciate it, Marcus!
