If you must look back, do so forgivingly.

If you will look forward, do so prayerfully.

But the wisest course would be to be present

in the present gratefully.

~Maya Angelou

we walk so lightly when we bear witness to pain…

inquiry for today~ whose hand are you holding in this life?

how we say goodbye

May the sun bring you new energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow new strength into your being,

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life.

~Apache Blessing
