Emerging Fullness

“When an incidental color or a random fragrance takes possession of our imagination, we can unexpectedly blossom into a new entity as it gives us wings and enlightens our horizon, just like canary birds that feel stimulated and start singing as soon as they sense the radiance of the sun through the reflection of the skylight.”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Beauty isn’t all about just nice loveliness. Beauty is about more rounded, substantial becoming. So I think beauty in that sense is about an emerging fullness, a greater sense of grace and elegance, a deeper sense of depth, and also a kind of homecoming for the enriched memory of your unfolding life.” – John O’Donohue

Captured by radiance
Stunned by beauty
Pollinating in sweetness
Rising yeast to warm bread
Work of waiting, gazing, reverence
Discipline of restoration
Ebb and flow, cup filled, emptied to be filled again
Unfolding life in ordinary days
Mother of presence
Thin spaces and places
Of joy, awe, wonder

“if you take time not as calendar product but as actually the parent or mother of presence, then you see that, in the world of spirit, time behaves differently” – John O’Donohue
