Before we speak, our words should pass through three gates:
* Is it true?
* Is it kind?
* Is it necessary?
Only then should we give voice to our thoughts.
May your day be peaceful. 🙏

Walking in Flexford Nature Reserve which is just around the corner from me. It feels like the earthiness of winter is slowly giving way to the optimism of spring, and the birds are celebrating. 😊🌳

Some more calming rhythms of nature from today’s lunchtime dog walk. When we pause, we find the medicine we need. 🌳

We are conditioned to see success in material terms. Having more or bigger is more successful than having less. This means we place our happiness somewhere in the future: ‘If I can just have that, I’ll be happy’ But we are placing our happiness in the wrong basket. Our happiness comes from within. 🙏

Sundown and birdsong.
I took this video mid spring last year in Hursley, Hampshire. The early leaves on the trees, not yet full in foliage, had a wonderfully symmetrical look, complimented by the soft, retiring sky. 😊🌳

Pause, breathe, reset.
Whenever you feel overwhelm creeping over you, return to your breathing and come back to the present moment. Even a couple of minutes of mindful breathing can ease the anxiety. May your day be calm. ☺️

There are three kinds of karma: good, bad, and neutral. What determines which kind of karma it is isn’t just the action in and of itself but the aim and intention behind it, and in awareness of what we have done.
