With Love and Reverence

“Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.” – Henry David Thoreau

“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” – Henry David Thoreau

Keep your heart open.
Stay permeable.
Soften not hardened.
Allow grace to carry and guide.
With love and reverence, one step at a time on the narrow, crooked, beautiful, bumpy path.

“It’s that keeping the heart open, even in hell, makes space for the Beloved. It is in the darkest nights of our souls, when all we know is that we know nothing, that the presence of the sacred may quietly well up, mingling with our pain and connecting us to a love that will never die.”― Mirabai Starr, Wild Mercy: Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics
