The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don’t go back to sleep!
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep!
People are going back and forth
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch,
the door is round and open
Don’t go back to sleep!~ Rumi
After a year-long commitment to step outside every day, followed by a year-long commitment to practice yoga daily, I have embarked on a year-long commitment to practice seated meditation daily beginning September 2012. One commitment seems to have flowed into the other as I slowly find myself waking. This awakening is leading me out of the past and into the present, and wanting to try something new. That wanting eventually led me to make the move from my old blog, Life in the Bogs, to this new one.

I would love to learn how to meditate. I need it! Maybe through this new blog of yours, I can get some ideas.

I think all it takes is practice, Susan. Well, patience helps too. And the discipline to do it. Never mind. It takes more than practice. lol! Yoga Journal (online) often has meditation practices and challenges. This is the one I started with:

“Seething soup of life” is something I can very much relate to, Christine. In my case, it’s a seething, chaotic, soup of life. lol! So glad you found your way over. Thank you. 🙂

Oh, Robin! What I’ve been missing. Such beautiful photography. I smiled all the way through a bunch of posts. I love this blog! Yes! 🙂 Good grief! I posted in the wrong place. Gotta’ watch old people. No telling what I’m likely to do! Chuckle…

Just had to come and check you out when I saw a cool comment you left on a blog I follow. I love nursery rhymes and am also intrigued when I see references to them. Having visited I’d love to return and read some more!

Thank you, Marie, for your comment and for stopping by. 🙂 I love nursery rhymes, too, and fairy tales. In some odd way that I can’t explain, I think they are responsible for my love of nature.

Laughing at myself here. I corrected your name, realizing that “Chez” means “home” or “at the home of.” Silly me. Usually I check first, but I was rushing through my comments today. Shame on me for not taking the time to find out about a new visitor. 😳

Hello there.
A very interesting blog that forms bonds between the hearts and the nature. Also, loved Rumi’s words. 🙂 Is his quote what inspired you, your blog’s name?

I found you through Jo at Still Restless Jo …. I am so taken by your blog name & your Rumi quote: “The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you … Don’t go back to sleep!” The latter is resonating with me this morning – the temptation to sleep until all the craziness is over would mean missing all the secrets in the meantime.
