The Art of Life. Sunday, July 05, 2015. Walking the Path of PRIDE. Photo by Gillian Cornwall, c. July 2015. Hurt breeds fear. Fear breeds anger.

If you had the chance to read my post, titled: The Life Compassionate.

The Art of Life: What You Want
https://gilliancornwall.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-you-want.html
The Art of Life. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Gillian Cornwall, c. June 2015. The sun-warmed bee buzz of the Salt Spring Island summer sits softly behind my still-closed eyes as I lay in the quiet sterility of my bed. I treat this place as somewhere exotic and far, absurd when it is but a bus and a ferry away. Why do we complicate that which is simple? Is it to afford excuses for inaction? Do we not really want that which we say we want? Do we want it given to us rather than having to ask for it or work for it?

The Art of Life: Flow
https://gilliancornwall.blogspot.com/2015/07/flow.html
The Art of Life. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Buddha, Hawaii 2006. Gillian Cornwall. c. 2012. Let love flow through you. Do not attempt to hold it for questioning. All will be well. Walk the path of love rather than the path of fear. Give what you have to give freely, without expectation. Make way for those you love to follow their paths without impeding their journeys. Hold up a light for them when they are in their darkest hours. Hold up a mirror when they need to see their beautiful reflections more clearly.

The Art of Life. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Health, Time and Loved Ones. Gillian Cornwall, c. 2012.

With love to each of you. Gillian Cornwall, c. Novem...

The Art of Life. Sunday, June 21, 2015. The Cornwalls - circa 1964. Ah, the joy of family photos -particularly those with small kids. I do not look happy. I can't recall this moment but I recall the feeling. Now that I am 53, I think back on my past in a different light than I did in my twenties and thirties and forties. Gad, I am aging - but that's better than the alternative! At times, I still feel like the wild child I was at 19 .other days, not so much. Love heals. I breathe in the healing love o...
