“It seems that intuitive listening requires us to still our minds until the beauty of things older than our minds can find us.”― Mark Nepo, Seven Thousand Ways to Listen: Staying Close to What Is Sacred
“Let’s be in awe
which doesn’t mean
anything but the courage
to gape like fish at the surface
breaking around our mouths
as we meet the air.”― Mark Nepo
Do not let this day slip by unnoticed
Brake for wonder
Pull over for delight
Make a U-turn for peace
Poetry of ordinary days
Surface for fresh air
To the beauty of things.
“To walk quietly until the miracle in everything speaks is poetry, whether we write it down or not.”― Mark Nepo
