In Hinduism, 108 represents the union of 1 (Brahman, the ultimate reality) and 0 (Maya, the illusion of the world) with 8 (the 8 directions of the compass, representing all possibilities). This combination symbolizes the totality of existence.

Hope and Love
"Hope and Love" by Jane Hirshfield. Another favorite. Another journaling prompt for my Insight Timer journaling tracks.
💜💜💜💜💜
"Hope is the hardest love we carry"... such a powerful statement...
Hope and Love
by Jane Hirshfield
All winter
the blue heron
slept among the horses.
I do not know
the custom of herons,
do not know
if the solitary habit
is their way,
or if he listened for
some missing one—
not knowing even
that was what he did—
in the blowing
sounds in the dark,
I know that
hope is the hardest
love we carry.
He slept
with his long neck
folded, like a letter
put away.

The Guest House
Love this poem for so many reasons. I used it as a journaling prompt on a track I created for Insight Timer recently and wanted to share it here for anyone else who might enjoy it.
And if you love Insight Timer as much as I do, listen to this track and journal with me: "The Guest House" By Rumi (Journaling Prompt)
The Guest House ~~ Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Insight Timer LIVE: Surrendering to Life's Calling with Dayana and Don
Dayana Pereira and Don McAvinchey came together LIVE for a second time on Insight Timer (10/5/23) to have another conversation. This time the topic was about "The Surrender Experiment", where Michael Singer says we can gradually give over our lives to what Spirit is calling us to do. It takes practice, and a commitment to see the difficult events in our lives as opportunities for letting go...

My new rescued baby who rescued me...
When my pup, Barney, was getting ready to crossover, I was so distraught that I was sure I'd never adopt another dog. The pain felt unbearable, and I thought WHY would anyone choose to go through all this.
Then I spoke to a friend who has had rescues for years and he told me he always looks at it this way -- if he can give another pup a chance at a good life in a loving home, it's worth it.
He's right...
So, I started looking for another pup to rescue and found this amazing rescue:
And now, 2 months after losing Barney, I have another sweet pup to love... Onyx...
He's a joy! Sweet and so smart and I'm thrilled to have him in my life! I still miss my Barney, but I know he sent me Onyx and that he's happy that a new pup will have the good life that he had too!
And I met an amazing woman who has been saving these beautiful babies for 13 years. As a side note, I bought a few products from an affiliate link that donates to her cause. My order arrived right away, and I love them! I've been getting eaten alive by mosquitos this year and one of the things I bought is called "melagel" and has been a lifesaver in stopping the itch! I also love that all the products are made with good ingredients. I've been doing my best to avoid harsh chemicals and these products are just what I needed!
Because who doesn't love PUPPIES and GREAT products that support PUPPIES! Onyx and his siblings thank you and send you many puppy kisses! 💜🥰
