ok so.....i have something to share.....something about life, not only about art or creativity, but i believe it will help with that too......
i have been reading this most excellent book.....as some of you may know, or may have guessed....i have an interest in various spirit filled paths.....Lama Marut is a teacher that was introduced to me by beautiful people who have taught me along the way.....i am a support person for an amazing couple who are in a 3 yr silent retreat....just down the road from my house! Lama Marut is one of their teachers.....
i just want to say....i have blessed life....and yet, even when i have everything i thought i ever wanted i sometimes feel, well, just not quite content....and why? how can i help myself?
Lama Marut's teachings come straight from the ancient Buddhist texts and he brings these teachings into a form that a modern westerner would understand....
if you are ready to learn.....contentment is the first step on the path to a truly happy life....and when you are living a truly happy life you can contribute and help others to live a happy life....
it is NOT selfish act to want to be happy......it helps everyone, starting with you and radiating out.....
anyway, i LOVE this book.....and i would highly recommend it to anyone interested in leaving behind fear and anxiety and upping the joy in their life!!!
