There is nothing more powerful than the movement toward beauty. As we walked, this thought sustained us. What we needed was to keep moving: one more day, and in each day, all day, one more step. It struck me as the simplest rule of life and of reflection: keep moving. Stay in readiness. Cultivate openness, clarity, affection, an easygoing revelry of the senses, a trust in our luck that we are here on earth at all, that we have this moment at all. Movement along a trail is movement within the mind. In the long run, the revelation of beauty is not a matter of chance: it is the centermost surety in life.

~Steven Nightingale

there is a space in between knowing and deep care…..

inquiry for today~ holding the day with reverence….

care for us…..

That moment of inward breath, that pause and awareness of “how beautiful this is”

is a prayer of appreciation, a moment of gratitude in which I behold beauty

and am one with it.
