Harvester of Presence

“If you go out for several hours into a place that is wild, your mind begins to slow down, down, down. What is happening is that the clay of your body is retrieving its own sense of sisterhood with the great clay of the landscape.”― John O’Donohue, Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for a Modern World

“The art of disappearing certainly has its own kind of value. In a strange way, in modern society we seem to be inhabiting the world of absence more than presence through the whole world of technology and virtual reality. Very often it seems that the driven nature of contemporary society is turning us into the ultimate harvesters of absence, that is, ghosts in our own lives.”― John O’Donohue, Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for a Modern World

Quiet miracles
In abundance
Clay of landscape
Pay attention
Harvester of presence in, on, through, with this day.

“Take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.”― John O’Donohue, Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for a Modern World
