Pause Muse

A L O H A !
Tales of Brave Ulysses by Cream on Grooveshark




“ I am not absentminded. 
It is the presence of mind
that makes me unaware 
of everything else. ”

 G.K. Chesterton












“ The present moment is filled 
with joy and happiness. 
If you are attentive,
you will see it. ”

Thich Nhat Hanh












“ Fate is shaped half by expectation,
half by inattention. ”
  
Amy Tan




What was I saying?












Just another day - O !




Thank YOU for being here. 


Or were you?

    Excellent variations on a theme Cloudia, I find myself getting very distracted these days, in 40C it's tres difficult to stay focused, or am I just blaming the weather haha!

    I just stopped by for a little sunshine and beauty before I go in for my colonoscopy this morning. I'll be so happy when this has passed. :-)

    I'm in my own little zone a lot. My kids are alternately irritated or amused by it.

    You were saying, be attentive even when you think there's nothing, there always, ALWAYS is! Stop and "notstop looking" (my new favorite quote) from a VERY wise writer.....Great post....again!
