“Your impermanence is a thing you should meditate on every day: There is nothing more sobering, nor scary, nor a faster-way-to-cut-the-negative-bullshit than to remember that you do not have forever. What defines your life, when it’s all said and done, is how much you influence other people’s lives, oftentimes just through your daily interactions and the courage with which you live your own. That’s what people remember. That’s what you will be known for when you’re no longer around to define yourself.”― Brianna Wiest, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think
“This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy – even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.”― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea
Make music from disparate notes.
Pause to awe, wonder, presence.
Starting right in this very place.
Not delaying for the illusive and false “someday when.”
When circumstances change, when others change, when, when, when.
Moving through, shedding, releasing, integrating to move forward, move on.
Cutting new trails, beginner’s mindset, childlike optimism and possibility.
To pick up new, unfolding, abundance, ease, joy, magnitude, fullness, delight woven in each day.
The armor of light.
Riding the waves of a fresh tides.
“It is well with my soul.”― Horatio G. Spafford
