Hello June!

“It is a paradox that we encounter so
much internal noise
when we first try to sit in silence.

“…It is a paradox that keeping still can lead us
so fully into life and being.

“…Our minds do not like paradoxes. We
want things.
To be clear, so that we can maintain the illusion of safety.

“…When we sit in stillness we are profoundly active.
Keeping silent, we hear the roar of existence.
Through our willingness to be the one we are.
We become one with everything.”

- Gunilla Norris. Excerpts from Paradox of Noise

Every season a delight at the Orchard Hill Center.

“Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops and once-a-year Memorial Day ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well.”

Hello May!

“Again, the violet bows to the lily.
Again, the rose is tearing off her gown!

The green ones have come from the other world,
tipsy like the breeze up to some new foolishness.

Again, near the top of the mountain
the anemone’s sweet features appear.

The hyacinth speaks formally to the jasmine,
“Peace be with you.” “And peace to you, lad!
Come walk with me in this meadow.”

Again, there are sufis everywhere!
The bud is shy, but the wind removes
her veil suddenly, “My friend!”

The Friend is here like water in the stream,
like a lotus on the water.

The narcissus winks at the wisteria,
“Whenever you say.”

And the clove to the willow, “You are the one
I hope for.” The willow replies, “Consider
these chambers of mine yours. Welcome!”
~Rumi

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“Winter’s frost paints the world in
white,
A canvas for birth and rest.
As nature slumbers, dreams
emerge,
Preparing for life’s next behest.

Spring awakens with a vibrant
burst,
The earth adorned in hues anew.
The dance of renewal is unveiled,
Change celebrated in every view.”
~Mary Oliver

“Release your tight grasp on control,
And surrender to the ebb and flow.
Discover the beauty in surrender,
And the seeds of change shall grow.”
~Hafiz

Yes, all things change.

Every season a delight at the Orchard Hill Center.

“The snow has not yet left the earth, but spring is already asking to enter your heart... The ground is cold, mud and snow squelches under foot, but how cheerful, gentle and inviting everything is!

…The sun is shining brightly, and its playful, beaming rays are bathing in the puddles along with the sparrows. The river is swelling and darkening; it has already woken up and very soon will begin to roar. The trees are bare, but they are already living and breathing.”

― Anton Chekhov, The Exclamation Mark
