“Every day is filled with opportunities to be amazed, surprised, enthralled—to experience the enchanting everyday. To stay eager. To be, in a word, alive.”― Rob Walker, The Art of Noticing
“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, The Inner History of a Day, To Bless the Space Between Us
To shape and be shaped.
To hold and release.
To root and reach.
To be present and awake.
Receiving the eucharist of this moment.
Communion with all that is, was and will be.
Woven in ordinary days with extraordinary grace, gratitude and most of all love.
Quiet mind.
Soft heart.
Knowing soul amidst the unknown.
The form a day takes when we enter with awe, wonder, wisdom.
Overflowing with possibility, promise, delight.
To shape and be shaped.
Each day, a holy place.
“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind”― Caroline Myss
