A Spark of Wonder

“A hummingbird’s presence is a spark of wonder, a reminder that beauty can exist in the most unexpected places.” — Terri Guillemets

“We don’t need to identify concrete solutions to all our problems. We don’t need to create the illusion of control amid uncertain circumstances. We need to accept that our biggest problem is fighting the way things are, and then consciously choose to stop battling ourselves. We have to choose to be in this moment instead of scheming toward something better. This moment is a new opportunity to let go of everything that’s stressing us. This moment is a new chance to take a deep breath so that we don’t feel so overwhelmed. This moment is a tiny lifetime, all in itself, and we have the choice to live it.”― Lori Deschene, Tiny Wisdom: On Mindfulness

Seek wonder, awe and beauty.
You find what you seek.
To remind and encourage.
To settle and gain perspective.
To delight and laugh.
Mindful rather than a landfill.
Present and at ease.
Be kind to yourself.
Peace in the world is rooted here.

“We can sabotage our days by imagining tomorrow will be better; or we can seize our moments by forgiving ourselves when we struggle and doing the best we can right now.”― Lori Deschene, Tiny Wisdom: On Mindfulness
