The Silence

Life is born of silence.
Without silence we would not
hear the song.
Silence is the life-giving womb.
Silence is the beat of the heart.
Wear her like a crown.
Wear her like a cape.
Wear silence in the midst of laughter,
sorrow, joy and pain.
Enter her womb,
there sound is born.

A Nature Workshop

If you live in the NY/Philadelphia area,I recommend this Nature Workshop led by Doris Jeanette. I've taken the workshop and have known Doris for years. She's an excellent workshop leader and knows how to release your energy!

The Nature Workshop is in the Forest at Pt. Pleasant, PA. Saturday October 17, 2009 15 minutes north of New Hope, PA. Close to Philly and NYC. One day, outdoor workshop- 10:45 -5:00 pm. Rain date is on Sunday. Safe for seniors who like to wear purple and other living things.

A Nature Workshop lead by Doris Jeanette helps you become stronger, more assertive and expressive. You enjoy vibrant moments of being fully alive in your body. You move, laugh and play in the forest with a group of like minded people, accessing more of your human potential.

The Nurturing Power of Destruction

I am only beginning to understand the nurturing power of destruction. For so long I destroyed without knowing the cycles. Why are ants and bees more wise than me? The rose bush is a master teacher, knowing when to bloom and when to simply be. Yesterday,I cut back her dead blooms. She did not argue. There was nothing to protest. It was time to let go. And bloom again.
Thank you, I said, holding her wisdom in my heart.
