People are panicking, losing money, they are so scared. It is scary times. One needs a degree of calm and focus. Having a day off is the most precious thing. Time for a good cup of coffee, a beautifully designed magazine. Time to re-center one's soul.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4703142524942720484-8679747525933965225?l=visualepiphany.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09972991310823138072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703142524942720484.post-45309935164586420212008-10-05T13:14:00.000-07:002008-10-05T13:22:15.438-07:00<div align="center"><a title="tea time by rainingsheep, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23257912@N08/2914697585/"><img height="500" alt="tea time" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2914697585_acf1feb39e.jpg" width="333" /></a></div><br />tea time...daydream time. tea time means stillness and pondering life and enjoying the ritual of making tea. i am thinking about the economy, how crazy our world is. we have so much, we constantly want more...that need for things is what got people in trouble. everyone is blaming politicians, wall street, bankers, rating agencies, banks ....but really, why do we buy things we can't afford? why do we need all this stuff? stuff surrounds me everywhere...i feel the need to simplify...a kettle, a cup, some tea and a teapot - those are things you NEED to make tea everything else is extra, not necessary, clutter. we all need to declutter our minds and our homes. simplify, learn to daydream and enjoy the ritual.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4703142524942720484-4530993516458642021?l=visualepiphany.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09972991310823138072noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703142524942720484.post-75429023037811824742008-09-29T08:35:00.000-07:002008-09-29T08:45:49.450-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23257912@N08/2893874518/" title="weathered by rainingsheep, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/2893874518_436f97c09e.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="weathered " /></a></div><br />passage of time; time is passing quickly, i feel weathered but the patina of age has a graceful beauty and quality and i don't want to tear that down...this home fills me with sadness; it envelops my soul but i don't want to quarrel with it; i want the sadness, the experience of feeling it; it seems like the most important thing in the world<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4703142524942720484-7542902303781182474?l=visualepiphany.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09972991310823138072noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703142524942720484.post-81510953643452345962008-09-25T06:12:00.000-07:002008-09-25T06:13:36.226-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23257912@N08/2886720060/" title=" by rainingsheep, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3290/2886720060_36e87644e2.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt=" " /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">The last of my flowers in the garden</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4703142524942720484-8151095364345234596?l=visualepiphany.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09972991310823138072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703142524942720484.post-1897790682743292592008-09-21T20:35:00.000-07:002008-09-21T20:36:53.850-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23257912@N08/2874138876/" title="slowly rusting by rainingsheep, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3043/2874138876_070b3a2024.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="slowly rusting" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4703142524942720484-189779068274329259?l=visualepiphany.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>rainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09972991310823138072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4703142524942720484.post-39604768463160518502008-09-15T13:14:00.001-07:002008-09-15T13:14:54.724-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23257912@N08/2856191939/" title="Vancouver island -
