This is the time to be slow,

Lie low to the wall

Until the bitter weather passes.

Try, as best you can, not to let

The wire brush of doubt

Scrape from your heart

All sense of yourself

And your hesitant light.

If you remain generous,

Time will come good;

And you will find your feet

Again on fresh pastures of promise,

Where the air will be kind

And blushed with beginning.

~John O’Donohue

how will I see the world anew?

inquiry for today~ what lies beneath the quiet for you?

what we seek….

Letting go of what you can’t change is never easy,

because it requires you to surrender your need for control,

your desire for a specific outcome, and your attachment to a particular result,

but when you do, you’ll find that you’re able to breathe again, to think again,

and to feel again, without the burden of resentment, anger, or frustration.

It’s a moment of liberation, a moment of empowerment,

and a moment of profound growth,

because when you let go of what you can’t change,

you’re not just releasing the past, you’re also embracing the present,

and welcoming the future with open arms,

and that’s a truly beautiful thing.
