So much depends on the drumming of soul that opens the heart,

the quieting of mind that opens the eye,

the acceptance of others that softens the truth.

~Mark Nepo

there is pride in the deep commitment to self-truth…

inquiry for today~ wandering home to your own knowing…..

from far away….

Be still, my soul, and steadfast.

Earth and heaven both are still watching

though time is draining from the clock

and your walk, that was confident and quick,

has become slow.

So, be slow if you must, but let

the heart still play its true part.

Love still as once you loved, deeply

and without patience. Let God and the world

know you are grateful.That the gift has been given.

~Mary Oliver
