Till Deep, Tend Well

“Around us, life bursts forth with miracles—a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

“We seldom notice how each day is a holy place
Where the eucharist of the ordinary happens,
Transforming our broken fragments
Into an eternal continuity that keeps us.
Somewhere in us a dignity presides
That is more gracious than the smallness
That fuels us with fear and force,
A dignity that trusts the form a day takes.
So at the end of this day, we give thanks
For being betrothed to the unknown
And for the secret work
Through which the mind of the day
And wisdom of the soul become one.” – John O’Donohue

May noticing take your hand today
Walk with you on sacred ground of the present
Deepening awe
Inviting delight
Releasing wonder
No where else but on the fertile soil where you stand
Where wisdom is rooted, breaking ground
Awaiting your attention and tending.
Till and tend.

“Our thoughts create our reality – where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.” – Peter McWilliams
