Hardly Noticed Moments

“Out of the quiet emerges the sheer incarnational presence of the world, a presence that seems to demand a moving internal symmetry in the one breathing and listening equal to its own breathing, listening elemental powers.”― David Whyte, Consolations

“In that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,
coming back to this life from the other
more secret, moveable and frighteningly honest world
where everything began,
there is a small opening into the new day
which closes the moment you begin your plans.” – David Whyte

Cracks
Small openings
Thin spaces
Harvest of presence
Rapt attention
Possibility, mystery, inquiry
Awe, wonder, delight
Taking shape, unfolding, emerging
In this new day
Stay out of the way
Linger here a bit longer
Let beauty in

“Beauty is the harvest of presence.”― David Whyte, Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning
