Distinguishing

“Don’t let people pull you into their storm. Pull them into your peace.”— Pema Chödrön

“True discernment means not only distinguishing the right from the wrong; it means distinguishing the primary from the secondary, the essential from the indifferent, and the permanent from the transient. And, yes, it means distinguishing between the good and the better, and even between the better and the best.” – Sinclair Ferguson

From reporting to being the story.
Entering with curiosity.
Approaching with inquiry.
Senses ablaze.
At ease on this very ground.
Boat anchored in storms.
Sail up in winds.
Steady as she goes.
May discernment, contentment, generosity, laughter, kindness, gratitude be the path you walk each day, if even for a spell.
Pulling you deeper into peace that passes understanding.

“What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?” –E.M. Forster
