Learning doesn’t just happen at school. The potential to learn is all around us: our parents, our siblings, our friends, our experiences, our joys and sorrows. When someone we love dies, we learn to grieve and then we learn to carry the love inside ourselves and move on, to share that love with others. When nature beckons and we see a butterfly, we learn to pause and marvel in its simplistic beauty. Life’s lessons are learned through subtle encounters: a discarded snake skin can symbolically teach us to cast aside our pain; studying the multiple colors of a kaleidoscope can encourage us to appreciate the unique treasures of life around us. There is so much we can learn from just living our lives. Pryamvada Bann’s little book of wisdom, The Silent Teachers, is a treasure. The author and artist marvels at all of life’s reverent beauty, honoring it through her paintings and her poetry. The paintings used in this book to accompany each poem are spectacular. My favorite is the hummingbird on page 14 and the two poems on either page that depict the valuable lessons one can learn from watching nature’s most precious wonders: the birds. “He begins to twist from East to West/ Singing his song of praise/ Welcoming the New Day with pure joy.” And: “He exuded such clarity and confidence from being in the moment.” We all need to live our present – not the past, not the future. Past mistakes are in the past and should be left there; future fears haven’t arrived, so don’t worry about what may or may not happen. Powerful lessons taught through the beauty of painting and poetry; this is a lovely book to treasure over and over again.
As you may have heard from our Facebook “LIVE” event, we are headed to Europe for a Baltic cruise this summer. While there are tons of things we’re looking forward to (i.e. visiting the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia; exploring Stockholm, Sweden; and seeing Tallinn, Estonia for the first time) we thought we’d share a few of the things we’re NOT looking forward to, as well. 1. Not having to go to the store, cook, or do the dishes. Modern grocery stores are amazing places. I recently read that in the 1990’s there were about 9,000 products in grocery stores. Today, there are about 40,000. None of this matters when we’re on-board the ship. Someone else has done the shopping and preparation and all we have to do is take a seat and enjoy the food. It’s glorious! Often, Ann and I will put in a little extra effort to make a special meal at home. Ann has become quite a cook, and some of her recipes require multiple steps and many ingredients mixed in several bowls. It’s delicious, and less expensive than eating out, but the cost is a pile of dishes at the end that need to […]
