Of course we have made mistakes. Of course we have not been very skillful.

Of course we have made ourselves and the people around us suffer.

But that does not prevent us from improving, from transforming, from beginning anew.

We can begin anew at the last moment of the day

and even at the last moment of our life.

In one day, in twenty-four hours, you have hundreds of chances to begin anew.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

counting those forgotten blessings…

inquiry for today~ take good care of whatever you know to be true…..

when the story fades…..

Wonder requires a person not to forget themselves but to feel themselves so acutely

that their connectedness to every created thing comes into focus. In sacred awe,

we are a part of the story.
~Cole Arthur Riley
