The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.
~James Baldwin
the light is all we have right now….
inquiry for today~ and it is enough for you too…
Gratitude takes us from abstract belief to living compassion in the world.
Gratitude is strongest, clearest, most robust,
and radical when things are really hard.
Really hard. All-is-lost hard.
