My friend Adrian finds the most amazing quotes. She posted this one today. To my mind, it speaks of the ephemeral nature of matter and the living Presence as this everlasting holy Spirit of our very own Identity: Here in a world without a sky, Without the ground, without the sea, The one unchanging thing is I, Myself remains to comfort me. ~ Sara Teasdale It is true, everything changes, every person, place or thing around us is in constant flux. The tangible things don't l...ast forever, not even the body. But the Identity I am is always here, free as the wind, right here being me, wherever I go, I am with me. Identity is the intangible Light of Life. No matter what happens out there in the world - I'm right here, being me. That's assured. We are this gentle presence of simply being, That Is who we are. It is the holy spirit and It is your Self. Here and Now are inseparable from My Being. The intangible divine Intelligence of God is being our Self-Knowing as You and Me. So whatever you wish to do, it will always begin with YOU. No one else can live your Life. It is Yours alone. You are the center from which all else unfolds. You are this Boundless Presence of being. There is no other than this Self-Knowing Awareness being ALL That Is. Now we know how to live this Unbound childlike Spirit in an objective, tangible world. That makes all things new, and that brings about a peaceful world scene. Living in this sweet gentle stillness, centered in your own peaceful understanding of What Is - you see that you really are the answer - and that God really is Love - and Life is truly wondrous and oh so very good.

It'a a pink and golden night around here. The air is gentle, dry, softly warm and tenderly beautiful. The sky of blue is touched with clouds reflecting golden green leaves in the trees, flickering with radiant yellow-amber in the sunset light. I think it must be heaven on earth, with this joyful holy richness pouring from everywhere - My world is pretty in pink and gold and yellow trimmed with the turquoise blue of dancing rays, twinkling orange and shimmering green as silver lilts of laughter lighten the song within this beaming heart of love - Sandy Jones This beautiful piece is available at Jones & Company- The Art of Home - Ojai - Artwork "Sunset -Ojai Valley Inn" by Sandy Jones

My book, "Barefoot at Heart -The Alchemy of Love and the Power of Light " has been out for 4 years now. It's still selling well. I loved writing it. I was inspired by some kind of Divine Wonder as I wrote. The whole book flowered, unfolded, flowed from a powerful, graceful energy straight from my heart. I couldn't hold back from expressing as I did. It was as if a river of love poured through me and out into words. And I've had so many generous reviews that are graciously be...ing shared on Amazon. Here is one of them: "You won't find another voice like that of Sandy Jones. When so much of spirituality has become dry and detached, this book puts it all back together again. The book is on fire with life, pregnant with living -- all of it -- the joyful, the deeply painful, the transcendent. Sandy joins the human and the divine and never compromises either!

TRANQUILLITY AND WORLD PEACE DEPEND ON THE DISCOVERY OF REALITY QUESTION: When, where and how do we start to discover Reality? How do we begin our search for Truth, Wisdom, the Absolute? ANSWER: This now-awareness is the starting place. We begin with this here-and-now consciousness of existence called Life, Awareness, Consciousness.... The consciousness reading this page is an undeniable and inescapable now-fact. We call it "Awareness" and Awareness is present for the simple, self-evident reason that we are consciouseven as we are conscious of these words. Let us define Awareness and have our meaning carefully understood. This is not a mystical term and there is nothing difficult to understand about it. As we refer to it here, Awareness is the simple consciousness of being. We are speaking of the conscious awareness that smells flowers, hears sounds, sees trees, bees and dogs scratching fleasthe selfsame Awareness (awareness) reading the words on this page. This is the Awareness, Life, Consciousness of Being that is the starting place. Here is where we begin. Where else can we? And when else but now?
