I wanted to take a moment to say how grateful I am that you are here.
I started STILL 12 years ago as a one-year creative challenge for myself.
But before the year ended, the project had caught too much attention to stop.
And then the unexpected happened—I didn’t want to stop.
The daily act of finding a new subject, led to a way of being in the world that filled me with joy.
The attentiveness required, awakened me to the small wonders that were always there.
STILL became not just a daily creative habit, but a way of being.
Because I had to be present every day, it became a kind of mindfulness practice.
But instead of listening to my own breath, I was listening to nature’s.
It means the world to me that you are here to share this experience with me.
In stillness,
Mary Jo
My firt thought was “looks llke letters I had to type in secretaial school” lo and behold……
Dear Madam:
On behalf of your vast audience and myself, we
thank you for your many years of dedication and
attendance in bringing us this perfection and
beauty.
Sincerely,
Carol
Well done, Carol!
How delightful, MJ, a love letter to your followers. STILL makes my heart happy and certainly others feel the same way. Your daily practice will provide a sense of purpose well into dotage ;)
In this chaotic world, every moment of calm is priceless, and you’ve been giving us many moments. Thank you.
This photo made me think of an abacus. An old, simple, very useful tool.
STILL is my homepage when I open the internet! Thank you for continuing to share your daily meditation all these years. It’s a place of quiet and joy that I am grateful to be able to visit regularly. It connects us all the the seasonal rhythms, which I think we are all craving in this disconnected world. Congratulations on your 12th anniversary!
