Compassion, Wisdom, Skilful Means: am I ready to train to teach Mindfulness?

Weekly ChallengeBy Lisa HellierDecember 10, 2020

So I’ve decided to take the plunge. I’ve been teetering for a while. I just haven’t been able to see myself ‘doing it’ and don’t feel nearly wise enough. But after seeing and feeling the benefits in my life and in my whole being from my mindfulness and compassion practices; seeing how I have learned…

I Am Not I – Juan Ramón Jiménez

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonDecember 2, 2020

I am not I. I am this one walking beside me whom I do not see, whom at times I manage to visit, and whom at other times I forget; the one who remains silent while I talk, the one who forgives, sweet, when I hate, the one who takes a walk when I am…

Gratefulness - Dale Biron

Gratefulness – Dale Biron

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonNovember 9, 2020

Each day the engine of my gratefulness must be coaxed and primed into action. Of course like any old clunker, it would just as soon stay put. For even after the labored start beats the inertia, and the plume of white smoke struggles upward, the same hills always appear, soaring daily—tall and ominous as before.…

RSVP – Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonSeptember 1, 2020

And why not be flagrantly happy, really. The moon is full and rakish and spring keeps teasing the morning into taking off its sweater. By noon, everyone is blushing. In the garden, strawberries come up on their own, their fearless white flowers pre-wired for sweetness. Who cares the weeds are already releasing their onslaught of…

One Morning - Rosemerry Tromner

One Morning – Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonAugust 19, 2020

One morningwe will wake upand forget to buildthat wall we’ve been building,the one between usthe one we’ve been buildingfor years, perhapsout of some senseof right and boundary,perhaps out of habit. One morningwe will wake upand let our empty handshang empty at our sides.Perhaps they will rise,as empty thingssometimes dowhen blownby the wind.Perhaps they simplywill not rememberhow…

Who turns? – Karen Maezen Miller

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonAugust 9, 2020

Who turns this into that? Sound into noise? Aroma into odor? Taste into pleasure or disgust? Who turns yes into no? Grace into disgrace? Who turns the present into the past? Who turns the now into the not-now? As-it-is into as-it-should-be? Silence into restlessness? Stillness into boredom? The ordinary into the menial? Who turns pain…

Fear – Khalil Gibran

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonAugust 5, 2020

It is said that before entering the sea a river trembles with fear. She looks back at the path she has traveled, from the peaks of the mountains, the long winding road crossing forests and villages. And in front of her, she sees an ocean so vast, that to enter there seems nothing more than…

Last night as I was sleeping – Antonio Machado

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonJuly 22, 2020

Last night as I was sleeping, I dreamt—marvelous error!— that I had a beehive here inside my heart. And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures. by Antonio Machado   This is a part of the longer poem by Antonio Machado, who is seen by many as one…

Looking for stars - Erik Johansson

In all ten directions… – Ryōkan

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonJune 14, 2020

In all ten directions of the universe, there is only one truth. When we see clearly, the great teachings are the same. What can ever be lost? What can be obtained? If we attain something, it was there from the beginning of time. If we lost something, it is hiding somewhere near us. Look: this…
