Every, Every Minute

“Light isn’t always buoyant and shadows aren’t always despair; yet both, I believe, are limitless in lessons that they share.”― Carolyn Riker, Blue Clouds: A Collection of Soul’s Creative Intelligence

“We have such a long way to go,” sighed the boy
“Yes, but look how far we’ve come,” said the horse”
― Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

Slow to see your life in real time
Not merely in memory, anticipation, regret, fear
We put lipstick on the past
Or are bound by it
The good ol’ days
The same ones we missed when we were in them
Life is unfolding in the ordinary, at our feet, in this day
Amidst sun and clouds
Flowers and weeds
Seen and unseen
Knowing and unknowing
Seeking and finding
In Our Town by Thornton Wilder, Emily asks, “Does anyone ever realize life while they live it… every, every minute?” and the Stage Manager replies, “No. Saints and poets maybe…they do some”
No place to be but here
May you find joy, peace, delight, wonder today and let it find you too.

“Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.”― William James
