Reverence and Imagination

“Nature is the direct expression of the divine imagination.” ― John O’Donohue

“The whole of the life — even the hard — is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.”― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You

The rings of a tree marking the years.
Moments to days to months to a lifetime.
Life goes slow and fast.
Stay awake in this day.
Parts tying together the whole.
Unfolding before you.
Awaiting your attention, reverence and awe.

“When you regain a sense of your life as a journey of discovery, you return to rhythm with yourself. When you take the time to travel with reverence, a richer life unfolds before you.”― John O’Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
