Window of This Day

“For us, too, change is almost always a source of dislocation, but if nature teaches us anything, it’s that nothing prevents the passage of time, the turning of the seasons.”― Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year
“May I live this day
Compassionate of heart,
Clear in word,
Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.”
John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us
To remain in this day, fully
Not looking back, but a glance in gratitude
Not looking forward, but a glance in hope
Generous and overflowing in love
Window of this day
“I stand at the window looking out, trying to remember the truths that nature always brings home. That what lies before me is not all there is. That time is ever passing, and not only when I notice. That strife and pain are no more unexpected than pleasure and joy. That merely by breathing I belong to the eternal.”― Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year
