To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do.

~Hermann Hesse

there is a divinity we can call home….

inquiry for today~ be in your own wise choices….

for all that we cannot name…

Gratitude is the confidence in life itself. In it,

we feel how the same force that pushes grass through cracks in the sidewalk

invigorates our own life.

~Jack Kornfield
