finding stillness

Today I am posting what my friend, Kristie said in a comment.
She is a friend I met online...and her words always seem to connect with me.
She loves nature and is such a talented photographer.
here is a link to her website and her beautiful pictures:

have a great day.

I just wanted to let you know I've finished reading Eat, Pray, Love...what a wonderful book! One of my all-time favorites! I can really identify with parts of her journey...her words from her website sums up what I feel too, from my life journey..."I do feel that I am changed. There is a small, new holy part of me which I hold onto and treasure very carefully - cupping it in my hands like a freshly lit match. I try to protect that new part of me as much as possible from the sheering winds of 21st Century America. (Generally, this means avoiding particularly spastic invasions of too much television, consumer debt, competition, over-consumption, success-pressure, greed and other forms of our daily cultural life.)" I also liked how she spoke of finding stillness and stepping into our own light. Like finding the marvelous, huh! :)
Namaste,
Kristie

Eat Pray Love


I am reading Eat, Pray, Love right now.
Anyone ever read it?
My friend Sue and then my friend Gail told me about it.....so I bought it for my mom for Valentines Day.
My mom liked it so much that she gave it back for me to read.
so finally I am reading it..... then I went to yoga class yesterday and my yoga instructor is reading it right now too......love those synchronicities!
Namaste,
Michele

read the quote from the book below:
this is quote from Elizabeth's friend that she met at the ashram:
"Imagine that the universe is a great spinning engine. You want to stay near the core of the thing--right in the hub of the wheel--not out at the edges where all the wild whirling takes place, where you can get frayed and crazy. The hub of calmness--that's your heart. That's where God lives within you. So stop looking for answers in the world. Just keep coming back to that center and you'll always find peace."
