Excessively Gentle

“The reality is that it is in our little spaces, some outside, some inside, where eternity opens up to us. Little portals into immensity itself.”― Claire Dwyer, This Present Paradise

“You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.”

Be excessively gentle with yourself.” – John O’Donohue

Small miracles.
Well of color.
Peace, beauty, joy, gratitude and love.
Excessively gentle.
Soul work.
A daily practice.
Claimed by calmness of it all.
