A Small Vastness

A  L  O  H  A !
" When the winds
 of change blow,
 some people build
 walls and 
others 
build windmills."
                 Chinese proverb






Big Talks on Big topics
are too soon wrecked
on the shoals of Big Dogmas
and Big Emotion.









A small shared joke,
or kindness
is a surer route to 
communion.







Be Vast
by keeping it
Small






See the blossoms and OPEN sign?


Enjoy Explore
Pay attention to
the "little things.









Be present-
 listen to others.
Leave them space
to pause,
then they will
relax and share
their truth
 with you.








love the dress!

Listening, 
being "right here"
not hurrying away -
these are the ways 
of a powerfully
radiant person





Don't try too hard -
Don't zone out.
This is Zen:
"Allow"


([])

Thank YOU
for pausing here!
                      Warmly, cloudia

one of the great mysteries...like dying to find life...being vast by being small...its the little touches that can lead to big changes...

I think my problem is that I either try to hard or too little. I need to zen out.

It pays to engage your inner windmill. Love the paradox: be vast by being small.

Thanks for the lesson, Zenmaster Cloudi! Luckily I'm too far away to get hit by your stick...
