Nor'easter Teaches Lessons

The really earnest and alert aspirant finds lessons in every object around her.  Every moment of her life is a moment of choice between the true and the false.  Every spiritual aspirant must be wide-awake and keep the fire of discrimination always bright in her heart.  No event, no thought, should escape her notice.  To such a person the whole universe is a great book of knowledge.                   

                                                            Swami Yatiswaradananda




So, what are the lessons of this loss?

  • Nothing is permanent.
  • Don't get attached.
  • Don't take it personally.
  • Have no expectations.
  • Appreciate the moment.


Our beautiful crab apple did her best to be flexible in the high winds of last night's Nor'easter.  She will continue to bloom to her fullest ability...reminding us that no matter what happens...

We are always BEAUTIFUL.
