Atmosphere of Possibility

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking out new landscapes but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust

“Desire demands only a constant attention to the unknown gravitational field which surrounds us and from which we can recharge ourselves every moment, as if breathing from the atmosphere of possibility itself. A life’s work is not a series of stepping-stones onto which we calmly place our feet, but more like an ocean crossing where there is no path, only a heading, a direction, which, of itself, is in conversation with the elements.”― David Whyte, Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity

Same place.
Fresh eyes.
Open heart.
Fertile ground.
Till. Seed. Feed. Wait.
Discovery. Attention. Awe. Wonder.
Rooted and rising in love.
A life’s work.

“Love yourself. Then forget it. Then, love the world.”― Mary Oliver, Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
