Small Pieces

“The waiting of Advent teaches us to live in increments, in small pieces rather than large chunks. Waiting also teaches us to measure our progress slowly.” — Reverend Holly Whitcomb
“Love, I think, is a gateway to the world, not an escape from it.”― Mark Doty
Lots of choices.
In our control.
Things to check off.
Next thing to rush off to do.
Activities over experience.
Or…
Slowing, kindness, presence, patience, awe, gratitude, forgiveness, generosity, reflection, curiosity, inquiry, wonder, laughter, joy, peace, love.
Daily decisions.
Choose well.
“At the end of my life, when I say one final What have I done?, let my answer be, I have done love.”― Jennifer Pastiloff, On Being Human
