settling into winter

Although the world is full of suffering,

it is full, also

of the overcoming of it.

~Helen Keller

how will we dispel these fears?

inquiry for today~ what will you take on, and what is not yours?

from the center of quiet

Maybe you are searching

among the branches

for what only appears

in the roots.

~Rumi

  1. Good one. I think the chaos of the last four years and the disaster of the last few days is rooted for back in the past and has been ignored because it would have called for putting peace and understanding ahead of getting our own way. I don’t think we have the humility to grow past this.

    • Such a powerful word, humility. Like integrity, it asks us to show up. Many prayers for you and for all of us in these coming days. Thanks Eileen.
