Art of Reflection
“There is one art of which people should be masters – the art of reflection.” – Samuel Coleridge
Praying
by Mary Oliver
“It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.”
When beauty, color, awe, delight knock.
Open the door.
Invite, allow, engage.
Listen. Look. Steep.
The art and gift of reflection.
“It is within the boundaries of reflection we are able to become aware of insights that can lead us to understanding.” – Kat Lahr
