When I point to the obviously wonderful aspects of my life as the source of my joy,

it predisposes me to believing the challenges in my life are what rob me of my joy.

As soon as I began exploring the ways I could be grateful for the hard stuff,

I no longer felt like the outer-world was the sole dictator

of what was happening in my inner-world.

~Andrea Gibson

there are too many moments to hold on to…

inquiry for today~ there is a gentleness in unfolding wisely….

your inner care….

I’m describing mysticism as a natural part of everyday life …

just a deep understanding of the sacred

and a willingness to allow the gifts to lead.
~Barbara A. Holmes
