Here, Now

“A lifetime may not be long enough to attune ourselves fully to the harmony of the universe. But just to become aware that we can resonate with it — that alone can be like waking up from a dream.”― David Steindl-Rast

“The ideal art, the noblest of art: working with the complexities of life, refusing to simplify, to “overcome” doubt.”― Joyce Carol Oates, The Journal of Joyce Carol Oates: 1973-1982

Right where you stand.
Awake, aware, present.
Fully, deeply, completely.
Wonder, awe, delight.
Sacred ground.
This very moment.

“We inhabit ourselves without valuing ourselves,
unable to see that here, now,
this very moment is sacred;
but once it’s gone –
its value is incontestable.”― Joyce Carol Oates
