Stepping Into Stillness

stillness-with-boat

"Your old life was a a frantic running from silence. The speechless full moon comes out now." –Rumi Stillness. What if it could be as simple as turning on a switch inside you? An experience that you could simply call in, or step into, or rest inside of. Try it. This might help... Just …

Roomful…Of Dancing Trees

May 20, 2011 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
Gnarly Trees

All our window shades needed replacing in the living room. The resulting effect of a temporary half-curtain treatment has been a stunning revelation. What we see now is none of the usual (distractions?) of cars, or houses, or people walking by. Just the tops of everything. Nothing to see from my …

My Spacious Things: Best of 2010

December 28, 2010 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
Reading-poetry-300x300

My journey is about releasing things, not acquiring them; letting go, not adding on to. Having said that, I also believe that "things that make your heart sing" are not clutter. If they brighten your day, make your life easier, more fun, or feel supremely good... not clutter. Nor …

The Radiance in Darkness

Christmas-Trees-300x206

Written on Christmas Eve, 1513 "I salute you.  I am your friend, and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not.  But there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take.  No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.  …

Celebrating a Milestone: 200 Posts and Counting!

November 19, 2010 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt 3 Comments
Home-Heart-298x300

Woo-hoo! I'm celebrating a milestone. 200 posts and counting. When I began blogging two years ago in December 2008, I had no idea I would love blogging so much nor that I could stick to my promise to blog twice a week no matter what. Yes, every Tuesday and Friday, rain or shine, inspired or not... …

Distracted by What Matters

October 29, 2010 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
Reading-poetry-150x150

Another take on "clutter." * Like I say: It's not about the clutter, or the clearing. It's how we relate to the experience – the place where real living happens. Enjoy this beauty of a poem. Evident by Mark Nepo   Why do I keep putting everything away? I need to be distracted by …

September. It's my favorite month of the year. More than just it being one of the most beautiful and bountiful months in New England where I live, September has always been a time of shift and new beginnings... An invitation to show up, regroup, renew, start over. But you don't need to wait …

Remembering

August 27, 2010 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt Leave a Comment
Calming-Wind-300x200

I came across this poem recently tucked deep in a file on my computer I called "Remembering." I know nothing about the author Jonathan Leavy,* or how this poem found me. It must have been one of those emails that went around the block a few times. Written on the morning of the famous 2004 …

Expanding and Contracting

July 13, 2010 By Stephanie Bennett Vogt 3 Comments
birds-smiling

I adore this line by the poet Rumi: "Your deepest presence is in every small contraction and expansion, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings." As it relates to clearing the clutter in our lives, it resonates so much for me. So I went online and found the poem. …
