My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, coffee life, spirituality and the mystery of it all.
There are small conference rooms located throughout Morgan Library on the campus at Colorado State University. This one is located on the east side of the library on the third floor where morning sunlight flows in. I like to sit and write at the tables just outside this room. It’s quiet, at least until the students finally begin to make their way into the library.
When we begin to listen with our hearts rather than our heads,
our whole world changes and becomes softer.
This is another view of my quiet corner and my meditation chair. It’s taken from my bed where the previous image was from my bedroom door. I am grateful for having this condo. Even though it is small, it really works for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
I like to start my day with a few minutes of quiet contemplation and this is usually where I practice. I have a sort of bay window in my bedroom, about 18 inches of space to collect dust. I have a battery powered candle sitting which I use sometimes to change the mood. I’ve had the wicker rocker now for several years and have it broken in to fit my tush. It is beginning to be brittle so every so often I find pieces on the floor. This window faces the south-southeast so early morning sun will be my companion during the summer. I use the fleece blanket, draped over the end of my bed, to wrap around my legs on those colder winter mornings. It is my quiet place.
I could not find a parking permit on the cart but it was parked as if it had one.
When people ask what equipment I use …….. I tell them my eyes!

When I wait and look and listen I make different photographs than when I scurry around looking and searching with a proactive approach.

“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”
Zen Proverb
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
Terry Pratchett
My sister and brother-in-law left Saturday afternoon for their trip to Europe. I am now officially on sabbatical. Hope they have an Awesome time! And, there is no envy on my part. 🙂
Well, school is back in session and with classes starting campus has transformed, again. Traffic is a mess again with cars and only one passenger. Bicycles and skateboarders are everywhere. Most coffee shops are packed with students writing and researching. However, if you go early enough you can find a table to enjoy a latte, mocha, tea and a bit of quiet.
