Joseph Campbell said, “If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”
Following your bliss means different things to different people - for
some it means spending more of their weekends and time off doing what
they love, for some it is playing with their grand-children and for
others climbing Kilimanjaro. What we all need is our own personal recipe
for bliss.
One blissful past-time for me is collecting - Collecting feathers, old vintage glass and glass bottles, things found in nature, antique silver, crystals - Collecting the Moments... one by one...
Vintage glass bottles and two new cough mixture bottles, just because they're pretty...
Antique glass and silver... a cut-glass cruet set, cut-glass perfume bottle, cut-glass glass dish, silver and enamel hair brush set, to the far left an antique silver chain mail purse, small gold hand mirror inlaid with turquoise beads and on the left, a 1901 silver star pendant with inlaid seed pearls
Vintage cutlery with bone handles
A small part of my crystal collection
So, "Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real."
- Deepak Chopra
