Blog Guelph: Silence
Greetings all.
I've just returned from an extraordinary silent meditation retreat in the Ottawa Valley. My mind is blissfully calm.
In the spirit of quiet contemplation, I offer today's series of meditative images.
Best enjoyed in golden silence.

P.S. Guelph meditation instructor Molly Swan is offering a day long retreat locally this Saturday. Details are but a click away.

Blog Guelph: Lights for a solstice night
Sniffle, sniffle, cough. Happy New Year! Sniffle.
I've been seeing a lot of blogs doing a review of photos that were favourites of theirs, and summing up the past year. I wouldn't know where to start with Blog Guelph. Every month here is jammed pack with creativity. I do wonder what your favourites are, though (your own photos, and others). You can leave a comment here or email me.

P.S., Those around me are sniffling and sneezing. Last night I chopped ginger, and lemon and brewed it all up with some honey. Surprisingly, it was drank and liked.
I do hope your new year is healthy and happy, and filled with everything you love to do.

Blog Guelph: Ho Ho Ho
Today's six pack of posts perfectly illustrate the current state of Guelph's corner of the universe - snowy, cold and festive.
As you dash and prance about today, remember to access your 'inner Santa' and liberally spread good cheer. Be generous with your smile. Lend a hand. Be open hearted. These are gifts everyone can give, cost no coin and do more for the soul than any gadget ever could.
Merry Merry

Blog Guelph: Reflections
It's snowing, and it looks like we're in for a lot of it today. I thought, what do I write about besides snow. I check my email and there is a link from Downtownlynn on an underground movement, called Project Snowman. Under a dark sky, a group of people will surreptitiously build a snowman for someone who is unable. What a project!
"Reads the manifesto: “This is an opportunity to serve others who you might not necessarily connect with – without a tangible reward. A little like a senseless act of beauty performed without recognition. A chance to do some good.”
Check out the Guelph Tribune Link for more information. There is also a phone number to suggest a household that might enjoy such an endeavour.
So, yea, there is no getting around not writing about snow today. Take care out there everyone, and have a great weekend!

Blog Guelph: Give Naturally
Back in November 2006, I caught wind of a Guelph project that completely captured my imagination - a crazy, ambitious project with a 500-year time frame.
Yes you read that correctly. FIVE HUNDRED YEARS!!
In the last two years, the PLANT AN OLD GROWTH FOREST PROJECT has been gathering strength. The intent - to bring back a piece of the original forest to the grounds of the Ignatius Jesuit Centre just north of the City of Guelph on the east side of Highway 6 and to keep it safe from development for 500 years!!
I've recently joined the Restoration Committee because I want to lend my hand and be on the 'forest' floor of this remarkable legacy.
You too can be involved.
"For every donation of $20 to the Old Growth Forest Project, the Ignatius Jesuit Centre of Guelph will set aside a square metre of land, to be protected in perpetuity."
"Each square metre sponsored can be in honour of a loved one through personalized certificates; ideal for gift giving!"
So imagine this - it's the year 2508 and your relatives are paying tribute to you for your forward thinking and involvement as they wander through this magnificent, mature forest.
How friggin cool is that?
Here's the HOW TO . Now please - GO DO.
