Thought I'd share, and archive, this wonderful blog find: Becoming Awake. This is the effort of Rita Desnoyers-Garcia, and in her own words it centers on:
Reflections of a mother's everyday life and how to use these observations to become more conscious of Self and the connection to the Universe. Awakening to the truer, Higher Self.
The entries are wonderfully insightful, and Rita has some nice prompts at the end that foster insight, reflection, and imbue hope. I'm always glad to find folks like Rita because they are nourishers of common humanity, waterers of the seeds we want to harvest. Rita seems to be watering seeds of love, kindness, caring, mindfulness, and deep reflection. I don't offer her site as resource — it certainly is that, but it is much more, and to offer it only in those terms takes away from what it truly is, an expression of an ethics of care. So let me offer it to you as a fellow traveler in mindfulness, in seeking and fostering a life in harmony, nourishing wellbeing and peace.
Those of us interested in mindfulness and photography benefit greatly from writings and efforts that call us to deep reflection, to stop and look deeply. Rita's blog is such a bell of mindfulness.
I've been referring to her as Rita even though the presumption of familiarity is awkward on my lips. I just don't know what she would prefer. Check it out. Have to share it also in my other blog.
