"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover I had not lived." ~ Henry David Thoreau ~ Walden The Art of Slowing Down means being present... for yourself and for the ones you love. It means living deliberately. It means accomplishing more by doing less. We invite you to slow down just long enough to join us for today's show to learn how this works.

Nature offers us so many lessons and examples of the power of persistence. The sun rises every morning and sets every evening, and as it does it’s work plants and grasses, trees and flowers grow and are nurtured by its warmth and radiance. Animals tirelessly gather food for the winter Rivers cut through rock, boulders and mountainsides over eons forming deep and beautiful canyons How can water carve out a rock?

They rise above the plains, the dull, the ordinary, the everyday and speak to us of greatness, hope and possibility. They awaken the senses and renew our vision. The mountains have always been a place where people seek spiritual guidance… The ten commandments were given to Moses on the mountain. We talk of climbing mountains for better vision and seek gurus at the top of them. We retreat to them for rest and relaxation. We look to them for meaning and purpose and shelter. Today's show features an awesome meditation ~ one…

“Our self-portrait is merely a simple description that we have made of ourselves…we are in fact much more than this.” ~ Mario Alonso Puig There comes a time in nearly all of our lives when we reach a point where we wake up one day with the painful realization that we are not the person who we once thought we would be.
