Journey Notes

Special thanks to Mike Downs for contributing today’s photo. The theme for June will be “silence,” “listening,” “stillness,” and “sacred space.” If you have a favorite quote about any or all of those, please let us know!

Painting “My Prayer” by Niki Flow. Shantideva was an Indian Buddhist monk who lived in the 8th Century. This prayer spoke to my heart. I’m not a holy Buddhist monk, but I can do small acts where I am with great love, too, one beautiful day at a time. ♥.

This will be made into note cards for our stationary store, under1000skies.com and will be included in Rx-for-Healing – the Power of Color and Opposites.
