Hi, I’m Méia – a tree lover, artist and wanna-be poet with a passion for garden gates, art, homes, history, and audiobooks. I'm growing my roots in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin, helping others do the same, and loving every minute of it.

Being Open


“What produces a genuine person is being open to not feeling okay.” (Pema Chödrön)

From all of our journeys
The one within will take you deeper
To a place of love and fear
Where Being resides
And when we close our eyes
We suddenly realize
We do not want to go
What we may find scares us
Threatens us
All we want is love
But Dear, listen
Become friendly with yourself
Smile at fear
Welcome your pain
Feel your way in
And all the sudden
You have found a peace
An acceptance
A genuine feeling
That trumps all others
It is Life itself
Embracing you
All of you

One Simple Truth

If there is one simple truth to live by everyday, this is it:

What you do to others, you do to yourself.

What you do to others, you do to yourself.

What you do to others, you do to yourself.

What you do to others, you do to yourself.

What you do to others, you do to yourself.

Simple, yes.
Eye opening, yes.
Transformative, yes.

The Whole World

“When you realize nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” (Lao Tzu)

 

The purr of a kitty cat
A delicious cup of coffee
A shave without a cut
The good old song on the radio
The touch of loving hands
The sight of a child’s smile
A broken engine
The meeting you missed
The spilled coffee on your shirt
The parts of you that feel shame
The hello you were too shy to give
The too many cookies of last night
Stop for a second to contemplate
How everything is meaningful
All experiences are complete
We are full of Life

 

We are full of Life.
