This is a little pond that will collect all sorts of small (stepping) stones throughout the year. I hope it will lead me to the (un-/re-)folding lotus in the middle of the pond where I can harness wisdom, courage, compassion, strength, and love. For my 2011 mantra: "Letting go is the first step of courage." Perhaps some of the stones I find this year will hopefully reflect that during my journey. Thank you for visiting/reading! Blessings!
