Receiving





sometimes
it’s hard for me to receive....


 to put myself in that vulnerable place
of emptiness


 to truly trust in these moments of quiet
that i will be gifted


 that words, insights and ideas will be presented to me
that it’s out of my control


 that i only need to show up
and practice silence


that the rest is out of my hands

  3. Dearest Patty-Oh!! I think so many of us can relate to this. How difficult is it to ask for what we want and then...to actually receive it??? Maybe part of it is the fear that we are undeserving??? Thanks for sharing this with us as well as your beautiful pics:)

  4. Beautiful photographs, Patty. I think receiving is one of the most difficult things to "learn" because we are brought up to 'give'. We have to teach ourselves to receive, not only from the Universe, but also from people. I was told once, "Please receive this gift graciously, Donna. Otherwise you have taken my pleasure of giving away." That taught me a lot and I've been practicing ever since. Beautiful Post Patty. received your card. Thanks soooo much! xoDonna

  6. well you have definitely received a gift...the gift of photography. Glorious photos. I can feel the calmness in the air and am breathing it in. It reminds me of a place that I visited a few years ago.
