Let the whole world be your symbol to let go & be the glow of your life's flow. Let your finding be your reminding to surrender to your potential of luminous realization. Your simple birth to walk on earth gives you a chance to discover your own worth. Since we're all going to die, now is the time to discover why. May your seeing symbolize the opportunity for freeing & relaxing in your inner being. Awaken love's appreciation & acceptance. This moment is magically & perfectly "as it is".

S.O.A.R. - Seeing Opens Awakened Reality - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
To receive anything in life, we must be open to it. So many people close themselves off and aren’t open to the wonderful gifts of life. We have to learn that it’s okay to open, because nothing can harm your mind. Nobody can ever get inside your head and make you uptight or afraid. The thoughts and emotions are just figs and twigs and jigs floating on the river of life. Don’t worry about anything. It’s all a passing show. Open to the light, and you will be all right. Then you can become the delight of the day and the night. Give yourself flight. Open your door and let yourself soar.

L.I.F.E. - Leave It For Evolution - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
Sometimes there is no immediate solution to current problems. So for the moment, we have to let it go & leave it to evolution to handle. I once heard a meditation teacher say, "Problems don't have to be solves, just let go of." Obviously, we can't always have reality perfectly as we would wish. But for now  it is perfectly "as it as". So you can honor the reality of what is here right now & know that things will evolve, as life always changes. We can truly appreciate life's cosmic mix with all of its tricks swirling around us. Don't get attached to thinking things have to be a certain way. Get free from your demands & enjoy this magical day!  - Russell

Awaken appreciation & acceptance's peace of mind.

L.E.A.P. - Let Evolution Awaken Paradise - R. McDougal/ Isle of View
Can we quickly evolve past today's challenges to recreate a harmonious world?
It all starts with each of us being responsible. Each of us has to be part of the solution & not part of the problem. If we are all conscious, we get a conscious world. By being in harmony we can create conscious communities that honor each other & honor this life-giving planet that we all share.
And on a personal level we all have the possibility to realize our own sacred nature & part in life's luminous evolution. Make that leap & go so deep that you are in endless awe about the mystery of being. May you find the seeing that is freeing your being. You are the sparkling highlight on that moving bubble having your moment on your ride in the stream of life's gift.

- R. McDougal/ Isle of View
"In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions. When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?"
