Colander

“May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Silence and stillness are how I sift through the day’s input. The silence serves as a colander, helping me discern what I need to hold on to and allowing what I don’t need to fall gently away, making space to access courage and creativity, quieting to hear the voice of God.”― Emily P. Freeman, The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions

What to hold on to
What to let gently fall away
Daily decision, choices
Discernment, attention, focus
Or
Busy, repetition, avoidance
Reset, recenter, anchor, alignment
Colors brighter, air fresher, horizon widened
In stillness, narrowing, sifting
Holding and being held.

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
