I am not my body

This was my morning meditation today. I needed it. I just open the book randomly and there they are, these nuggets of wisdom that I need to embrace to empower my day.

I needed the reminder as my failing body sometimes seems to dominate my personality.

My inner self is far, far different to my body.

She is creative, compassionate, caring, considerate.

And those are just the "c" words.

So in light of this lesson reinforced, I bring you these as a kind of Sunday Selections. Go visit Elephant's Child every Sunday for her take on this meme.  All pictures below are mine.

From the beach in front of my old home.

Every night was a different story.




Fishing boats coming in after sunset with their catch of the day.

  1. Thank you (so very much) for your serene and lovely selections. As I scrolled though I could feel my shoulders drop.

  3. Luscious photos. What a great view. The fishing boat name is somewhat pretentious.

  4. The older we get, the less our body reflects who we are, I think. The people worth bothering with will find out whats inside.

    Lovely sunsets.

  8. As you are probably aware, I am a Vedantin and we know that we are not the Body, Mind and Intellect complex. What we are are Witnesses to whatever happens. It is a matter to be understood and experienced.

    Lovely photographs.
