Drops to Ocean

“There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.”― Ralph H. Blum

“May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, that you have a special destiny here, that behind the facade of your life there is something beautiful, good, and eternal happening. May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, pride, and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.” – John O’Donohue

Beneath the façade
The noise
The pursuit
The busy
The rush
A current
A rhythm
A calm
Ebb and flow
Quiet joy rising to the surface of each day
From inches to horizon
Drops to ocean

“Maybe we give up so we can more fully receive. Maybe we give up so we receive something better than what our small minds had wanted.”― Heather Lanier, Raising a Rare Girl: A Memoir
