Inner Peace

Seward Anchorage, Alaska

      "If you are not spending all your waking life in discontent, worry, anxiety, depression, despair, or consumed by other negative states; if you are able to enjoy simple things like listening to the sound of the rain or the wind; if you can see the beauty of clouds moving across the sky or be alone at times without feeling lonely or needing the mental stimulus of entertainment; if you find yourself treating a complete stranger with heartfelt kindness without wanting anything from him or her . . . it means that a space has opened up, no matter how briefly, in the otherwise incessant stream of thinking that is the human mind. When this happens, there is a sense of well-being, of alive peace, even though it may be subtle."

WISDOM

 Wisdom is a key to travel light in this world

                         -- Lia 

 

 I just bought a new 6-wheel luggage to give me ease carrying my heavy luggage. 

Interestingly, the brand of my new luggage is “Wisdom.”

 

 We find wisdom in many ways, in many places and in many things.  

I simply do.
