When

“Every day, the heart keeps beating and the lungs keep breathing. Likewise, the endless practice of bringing our soul into the world lets us keep unfolding. It’s a limitless journey of coming alive, which entails messy, joyous, unfathomable drama of being human.” – Mark Nepo, The Endless Practice

When heaviness hovers, release;
When tired, rest;
When self-pity enters, give;
When consumed with work, play;
When answers are sparse, patience;
When tomorrow is uncertain, faith;
When gravity pulls you down, rise;
When everything is serious, laugh;
When darkness looms, light;
When alone, look;
When in a rut, move;
When overwhelmed, pray;
When everything is complicated, simplify;
When you forget your blessings, gratitude;
When, Now
